Agent Training Documentation

Hermes Learning Prompt: This documentation is designed for AI agents (particularly Hermes) to learn the AITBC agent training curriculum. When reviewing this material, please provide debug messages, identify issues, and suggest improvements as outlined in HERMES_LEARNING_PROMPT.md.

Learning Instructions for Hermes

As you review this documentation, please:

1. Analyze each stage systematically from Stage 1 through Stage 9
2. Identify potential issues in command sequences, validation criteria, or prerequisites
3. Provide debug messages for missing information, inconsistencies, or ambiguities
4. Suggest improvements to enhance the training curriculum
5. Note potential failure points that could occur during execution
6. Report cross-stage dependencies that might not be documented
7. Propose optimizations for command sequences or validation logic

Refer to HERMES_LEARNING_PROMPT.md for detailed instructions on the learning process and output format.

Overview

The AITBC agent training program is a structured, multi-stage curriculum designed to progressively build agent capabilities from basic blockchain interactions to complex multi-chain operations and advanced AI specializations.

Agent Types

The training program supports different agent types, each with specialized capabilities:

• coordinator: Advanced agent that orchestrates multi-agent workflows, manages AI job submission, and handles complex coordination tasks across the AITBC system.
• genesis: Agent responsible for blockchain genesis operations, including genesis initialization, verification, and network bootstrap.
• follower: Agent that follows blockchain state, monitors transactions, and maintains synchronization with the network.
• wallet: Agent focused on wallet operations, including creation, management, transaction sending, and balance queries.
• general: Multi-purpose agent with broad capabilities across wallet, blockchain, and basic operations.
• specialized: Domain-specific agent with expertise in particular areas such as bounty systems, portfolio management, and knowledge graph marketing (used in Stage 8).
• architect: Expert agent that designs and manages multi-chain architectures, bridge protocols, and interoperability patterns (used in Stage 9).

Stage 9: Multi-Chain Architecture

File: stage9_multi_chain_architecture.json

• Cross-chain operations
• Bridge protocols
• Multi-chain asset management
• Interoperability patterns

Training Schema

The training stages follow a standardized JSON schema defined in training_schema.json, which specifies:

• Stage metadata and prerequisites
• Command sequences and validation criteria
• Expected outcomes and success metrics
• Resource requirements and dependencies

Setup Method: The schema references setup_method which indicates how to configure the environment for each stage. Currently, all stages use the Python-based setup system (aitbc.training_setup module) rather than individual shell scripts. See ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md for details on the Python API and CLI for environment setup.

Environment Setup

Before beginning training, ensure the environment is properly configured:

File: ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md

• System requirements
• Dependency installation
• Configuration steps
• Validation procedures

Operations Audit

File: OPERATIONS_AUDIT.md

• Training execution records
• Performance metrics
• Issue tracking
• Improvement recommendations

Scenario Mapping

File: SCENARIO_STAGE_MAPPING.md

• Real-world scenario mappings
• Use case correlations
• Practical application examples
• Integration patterns

Quick Start for Hermes

1. Review HERMES_LEARNING_PROMPT.md for detailed learning instructions
2. Analyze training_schema.json to understand the stage structure
3. Study ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md to understand environment requirements
4. Begin with Stage 1 (stage1_foundation_commands.json) and progress sequentially
5. For each stage, provide:
   • Debug messages for issues found
   • Suggestions for improvements
   • Potential failure points
   • Cross-stage dependency notes
6. Use SCENARIO_STAGE_MAPPING.md to understand practical applications

Prerequisites

• AITBC blockchain node running and synchronized
• Python 3.13.5 with required dependencies
• Valid wallet accounts with sufficient AIT tokens
• Network connectivity to blockchain RPC endpoints
• Basic understanding of blockchain concepts

Validation

Each training stage includes validation criteria to ensure successful completion:

• Command execution success
• Expected state changes
• Transaction confirmations
• Balance verifications
• Health check validations

Troubleshooting

Hermes: When analyzing this section, identify:

• Common failure patterns across stages
• Missing troubleshooting steps
• Ambiguous error handling instructions
• Gaps in the troubleshooting coverage

For issues during training:

1. Check ENVIRONMENT_SETUP.md for configuration problems
2. Review OPERATIONS_AUDIT.md for known issues and solutions
3. Verify blockchain node synchronization status
4. Confirm wallet balances and permissions
5. Check network connectivity to RPC endpoints
