Add blog post: AI Agent-Driven Executive Reports with Quarto

[adriens]

Summary

As per

New blog post showcasing Quarto as an agentic report generation target — a real-world case study from the HERMES Dev Challenge (Dev.to).

The setup:

• Reverse-engineered the Helia mobile app APK (OPT-NC, New Caledonia) to extract private API calls
• Go CLI snapshots voice/data/SMS consumption into DuckDB every 5 minutes
• HERMES agent (Qwen 3.7 Max via OpenRouter) drives Quarto to generate a multi-stakeholder executive PDF

Key Quarto angle:

• Agent autonomously writes the .qmd source, wires DuckDB SQL queries into each section, renders PDF, and iterates on styling
• Role-playing simulation (CEO / CIO / sysadmin / programmer) drives 4 rounds of self-improvement
• Declarative Quarto frontmatter + chunk syntax makes it naturally agentic-friendly
• Final result: 17-page PDF, $19.57 total LLM cost, one 85-minute session
