New CLI Tool Mines Git History for Recurring Failure Patterns
Hermes-harness is a CLI tool that extracts failure/fix patterns from git history and makes them searchable across multiple repositories. It compresses each pattern into a 128-dimensional vector for cosine similarity search, enabling teams to quickly answer if a failure has occurred before. The tool is designed for tech leads managing 3+ repos who struggle with tribal knowledge and recurring failure classes.

The tool's utility is narrow—it only helps teams with multiple repos and recurring failures—but it cleverly applies world model concepts to a practical developer problem.
