Déléguer une tâche (audit, recherche, grunt-work) à une session hermes sur un modèle PAS CHER (glm-5.2/deepseek/kimi via OpenRouter) en CLI DIRECT, headless, en arrière-plan — SANS le daemon agentproto ni les tools MCP. Déclenche ce skill quand les tools `mcp__agentproto__*` sont absents de la session, quand l'utilisateur dit « lance un agent hermes/glm/deepseek en background », « fais auditer ça par un modèle pas cher pendant qu'on continue », ou quand tu veux un second avis indépendant bon marché sans cramer l'abonnement. Complète agent-session-orchestration-agentproto (qui, lui, suppose le daemon MCP).

From the source SKILL.md

Pattern réel, prouvé en session : faire tourner une session hermes sur un modèle bon marché (OpenRouter) en CLI direct, headless, en arrière-plan, quand le daemon agentproto / les tools mcp__agentproto__* ne sont PAS chargés dans la session (démarrer le daemon en cours de route ne réinjecte pas ses tools MCP). On parle au binaire hermes directement.
