The project describes these adapters as instructions, skills, tools, memory, or coordination logic, rather than changes to the underlying model or the original harness.
Hermit separates an Evolver, which implements an optimization method, from a Trainer that runs tasks and handles feedback, specification checks, budgets, versioning, and recovery. Version 0.1.0 lists support for GEPA, SkillOpt, MetaWorld Model, Harness2, and Continual Harness. ACE and ReHarness are listed as planned.
The repository includes an OfficeQA example using GLM 5.3 Flash with Codex CLI 0.162.0. It also includes a Lean example in which five Codex agents share a plan and a verified lemma library. The source presents these as examples and supported workflows; it does not establish general performance gains, comparative benchmark results, or that adapter evolution will improve every agent deployment.
