# Herma -- the context & capability shim for any agent

> Herma: context-shimming AI middleware for configurable coding harnesses -- intercepts requests via keyword, semantic, or micromodel rules to respond directly or shim atomic noun, verb, and URI context from a user-configured database before LLM execution.
