Your own PM AI Agent
The assignment
Fork Hermes or OpenClaw on GitHub and ship your own Product Manager AI Agent.
✳What Vaishnavi shipped
A Product Manager AI agent built as a fork of the Hermes framework, extended with dedicated pm-agent, pm-coach, and pm-sprint-tools skills. It runs a ten-step workflow supporting brainstorming, research, and strategy tasks, with memory to track context across sessions.
✳Our read on this build
Vaishnavi shipped a public GitHub repo. This read comes from the artifact and Vaishnavi's own account of it — no scores, just what the build does and does not show.
What it demonstrates
- It stands on a real codebase — a Hermes fork and a public repository — which is why it exists after a week instead of a quarter.
- It is bent to specific PM work: custom skills and brand memory — a workflow, not a rename.
What is not shown
- It is not shown running against a real PM task, which leaves the distance between 'repo exists' and 'agent works' for the reader to cover.
Take this awayThe pattern to steal: fork, then narrow. One PM workflow done properly beats a general assistant that does everything at demo depth.
✳Why this quest matters
Forking beats a blank page. Standing on Hermes or OpenClaw and bending it to a real PM workflow is exactly how modern builders ship a working agent in days instead of months.
✳What separated the strongest builds
It stands on a real codebase
A linkable fork of Hermes or OpenClaw. 'Inspired by' is how people describe a blank page they started anyway.
Bent to one PM job, properly
A PRD writer, a backlog triager, a teardown engine — a workflow the builder actually has. A renamed system prompt on a template is not customisation.
Seen doing the work
Running, answering, producing an artifact you can look at. A repo that claims to work and is never shown working asks for a lot of trust.
No numeric scores are published here. These pages are written reads of what each builder shipped — the build is the point, not a mark out of a hundred.
