Subagent: Autonomously install and configure a Hermes…

User

Autonomously install and configure a Hermes Research Brain in the research profile. Full task: inspect environment (Hermes version, profile paths, current config), create research profile directory structure with SOUL.md, memories, research-brain package files, and shared-approved directory; back up all existing files before modifying; merge existing SOUL.md/MEMORY.md/USER.md contents; configure controlled knowledge sharing with android-dev and infra profiles using least-privilege access; establish research operating rules (read-only by default, approval-required for state changes); configure context loading so a new research session reads the brain index and rules; validate the full setup including a fresh research session test; document rollback procedures; provide final report with actual version, file changes, sharing mechanism, validation results, and confirmation gateway is unchanged.

It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\n\nWhat makes Hermes different:\n\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\n\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\n\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\n\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\n\n## Quick Start\n\n``bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash\n\n# Interactive chat (default)\nhermes\n\n# Single query\nhermes chat -q \"What is the capital of France?\"\n\n# Setup wizard\nhermes setup\n\n# Change model/provider\nhermes model\n\n# Check health\nhermes doctor\n`\n\n---\n\n## CLI Reference\n\n### Global Flags\n\n`\nhermes [flags] [command]\n\n --version, -V Show version\n --resume, -r SESSION Resume session by ID or title\n --continue, -c [NAME] Resume by name, or most recent session\n --worktree, -w Isolated git worktree mode (parallel agents)\n --skills, -s SKILL Preload skills (comma-separate or repeat)\n --profile, -p NAME Use a named profile\n --yolo Skip dangerous command approval\n --pass-session-id Include session ID in system prompt\n`\n\nNo subcommand defaults to chat.\n\n### Chat\n\n`\nhermes chat [flags]\n -q, --query TEXT Single query, non-interactive\n -m, --model MODEL Model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)\n -t, --toolsets LIST Comma-separated toolsets\n --provider PROVIDER Force provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.)\n -v, --verbose Verbose output\n -Q, --quiet Suppress banner, spinner, tool previews\n --checkpoints Enable filesystem checkpoints (/rollback)\n --source TAG Session source tag (default: cli)\n`\n\n### Configuration\n\n`\nhermes setup [section] Interactive wizard (model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent)\nhermes model Interactive model/provider picker\nhermes config View current config\nhermes config edit Open config.yaml in $EDITOR\nhermes config set KEY VAL Set a config value\nhermes config path Print config.yaml path\nhermes config env-path Print .env path\nhermes config check Check for missing/outdated config\nhermes config migrate Update config with new options\nhermes auth Interactive credential manager\nhermes auth add PROVIDER Add OAuth or API-key credential (e.g. nous, openai-codex, qwen-oauth)\nhermes auth list List stored credentials\nhermes auth remove PROVIDER Remove a stored credential\nhermes doctor [--fix] Check dependencies and config\nhermes status [--all] Show component status\n`\n\n### Tools & Skills\n\n`\nhermes tools Interactive tool enable/disable (curses UI)\nhermes tools list Show all tools and status\nhermes tools enable NAME Enable a toolset\nhermes tools disable NAME Disable a toolset\n\nhermes skills list List installed skills\nhermes skills search QUERY Search the skills hub\nhermes skills install ID Install a skill (ID can be a hub identifier OR a direct https://…/SKILL.md URL; pass --name to override when frontmatter has no name)\nhermes skills inspect ID Preview without installing\nhermes skills config Enable/disable skills per platform\nhermes skills check Check for updates\nhermes skills update Update outdated skills\nhermes skills uninstall N Remove a hub skill\nhermes skills publish PATH Publish to registry\nhermes skills browse Browse all available skills\nhermes skills tap add REPO Add a GitHub repo as skill source\n`\n\n### MCP Servers\n\n`\nhermes mcp serve Run Hermes as an MCP server\nhermes mcp add NAME Add an MCP server (--url or --command)\nhermes mcp remove NAME Remove an MCP server\nhermes mcp list List configured servers\nhermes mcp test NAME Test connection\nhermes mcp configure NAME Toggle tool selection\n`\n\nHow the built-in MCP client connects servers (stdio/HTTP), auto-discovers\ntheir tools, and exposes them as first-class tools, plus catalog install\n(hermes mcp install ): skill_view(name=\"hermes-agent\", file_path=\"references/native-mcp.md\").\n\n### Gateway (Messaging Platforms)\n\n`\nhermes gateway run Start gateway foreground\nhermes gateway install Install as background service\nhermes gateway start/stop Control the service\nhermes gateway restart Restart the service\nhermes gateway status Check status\nhermes gateway setup Configure platforms\n`\n\nSupported platforms: Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, SMS, Matrix, Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, BlueBubbles (iMessage), Weixin (WeChat), API Server, Webhooks.

They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\n\n---\n\n## Security & Privacy Toggles\n\nCommon \"why is Hermes doing X to my output / tool calls / commands?\" toggles — and the exact commands to change them. Most of these need a fresh session (/reset in chat, or start a new hermes invocation) because they're read once at startup.\n\n### Secret redaction in tool output\n\nSecret redaction is **on by default** — tool output (terminal stdout, read_file, web content, subagent summaries, etc.) is scanned for strings that look like API keys, tokens, and secrets before it enters the conversation context and logs. Leave it enabled for normal use:\n\n`bash\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets true # keep enabled globally\n`\n\n**Restart required.** security.redact_secrets is snapshotted at import time — toggling it mid-session (e.g. via export HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false from a tool call) will NOT take effect for the running process. Tell the user to change it in config from a terminal, then start a new session. This is deliberate — it prevents an LLM from flipping the toggle on itself mid-task.\n\nDisable only when you deliberately need raw credential-like strings for debugging or redactor development:\n`bash\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets false\n`\n\n### PII redaction in gateway messages\n\nSeparate from secret redaction. When enabled, the gateway hashes user IDs and strips phone numbers from the session context before it reaches the model:\n\n`bash\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii true # enable\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii false # disable (default)\n`\n\n### Command approval prompts\n\nBy default (approvals.mode: manual), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (rm -rf, git reset --hard, etc.). The modes are:\n\n- manual — always prompt (default)\n- smart — use an auxiliary LLM to auto-approve low-risk commands, prompt on high-risk\n- off — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to --yolo)\n\n`bash\nhermes config set approvals.mode smart # recommended middle ground\nhermes config set approvals.mode off # bypass everything (not recommended)\n`\n\nPer-invocation bypass without changing config:\n- hermes --yolo …\n- export HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1\n\nNote: YOLO / approvals.mode: off does NOT turn off secret redaction. They are independent.\n\n### Shell hooks allowlist\n\nSome shell-hook integrations require explicit allowlisting before they fire. Managed via ~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json — prompted interactively the first time a hook wants to run.\n\n### Disabling the web/browser/image-gen tools\n\nTo keep the model away from network or media tools entirely, open hermes tools and toggle per-platform. Takes effect on next session (/reset). See the Tools & Skills section above.\n\n---\n\n## Voice & Transcription\n\n### STT (Voice → Text)\n\nVoice messages from messaging platforms are auto-transcribed.\n\nProvider priority (auto-detected):\n1. **Local faster-whisper** — free, no API key: pip install faster-whisper\n2. **Groq Whisper** — free tier: set GROQ_API_KEY\n3. **OpenAI Whisper** — paid: set VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY\n4. **Mistral Voxtral** — set MISTRAL_API_KEY\n\nConfig:\n`yaml\nstt:\n enabled: true\n provider: local # local, groq, openai, mistral\n local:\n model: base # tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3\n`\n\n### TTS (Text → Voice)\n\n| Provider | Env var | Free? |\n|----------|---------|-------|\n| Edge TTS | None | Yes (default) |\n| ElevenLabs | ELEVENLABS_API_KEY | Free tier |\n| OpenAI | VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY | Paid |\n| MiniMax | MINIMAX_API_KEY | Paid |\n| Mistral (Voxtral) | MISTRAL_API_KEY | Paid |\n| NeuTTS (local) | None (pip install neutts[all] + espeak-ng) | Free |\n\nVoice commands: /voice on (voice-to-voice), /voice tts (always voice), /voice off.\n\n---\n\n## Spawning Additional Hermes Instances\n\nRun additional Hermes processes as fully independent subprocesses — separate sessions, tools, and environments.\n\n### When to Use This vs delegate_task\n\n| | delegate_task | Spawning hermes process |\n|-|-----------------|--------------------------|\n| Isolation | Separate conversation, shared process | Fully independent process |\n| Duration | Minutes (bounded by parent loop) | Hours/days |\n| Tool access | Subset of parent's tools | Full tool access |\n| Interactive | No | Yes (PTY mode) |\n| Use case | Quick parallel subtasks | Long autonomous missions |\n\n### One-Shot Mode\n\n`\nterminal(command=\"hermes chat -q 'Research GRPO papers and write summary to ~/research/grpo.md'\", timeout=300)\n\n# Background for long tasks:\nterminal(command=\"hermes chat -q 'Set up CI/CD for ~/myapp'\", background=true)\n`\n\n### Interactive PTY Mode (via tmux)\n\nHermes uses prompt_toolkit, which requires a real terminal. Use tmux for interactive spawning:\n\n`\n# Start\nterminal(command=\"tmux new-session -d -s agent1 -x 120 -y 40 'hermes'\", timeout=10)\n\n# Wait for startup, then send a message\nterminal(command=\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Build a FastAPI auth service' Enter\", timeout=15)\n\n# Read output\nterminal(command=\"sleep 20 && tmux capture-pane -t agent1 -p\", timeout=5)\n\n# Send follow-up\nterminal(command=\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Add rate limiting middleware' Enter\", timeout=5)\n\n# Exit\nterminal(command=\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 '/exit' Enter && sleep 2 && tmux kill-session -t agent1\", timeout=10)\n`\n\n### Multi-Agent Coordination\n\n`\n# Agent A: backend\nterminal(command=\"tmux new-session -d -s backend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\", timeout=10)\nterminal(command=\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t backend 'Build REST API for user management' Enter\", timeout=15)\n\n# Agent B: frontend\nterminal(command=\"tmux new-session -d -s frontend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\", timeout=10)\nterminal(command=\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Build React dashboard for user management' Enter\", timeout=15)\n\n# Check progress, relay context between them\nterminal(command=\"tmux capture-pane -t backend -p | tail -30\", timeout=5)\nterminal(command=\"tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Here is the API schema from the backend agent: ...' Enter\", timeout=5)\n`\n\n### Session Resume\n\n`\n# Resume most recent session\nterminal(command=\"tmux new-session -d -s resumed 'hermes --continue'\", timeout=10)\n\n# Resume specific session\nterminal(command=\"tmux new-session -d -s resumed 'hermes --resume 20260225_143052_a1b2c3'\", timeout=10)\n`\n\n### Tips\n\n- **Prefer delegate_task for quick subtasks** — less overhead than spawning a full process\n- **Use -w (worktree mode)** when spawning agents that edit code — prevents git conflicts\n- **Set timeouts** for one-shot mode — complex tasks can take 5-10 minutes\n- **Use hermes chat -q for fire-and-forget** — no PTY needed\n- **Use tmux for interactive sessions** — raw PTY mode has \\r vs \\n issues with prompt_toolkit\n- **For scheduled tasks**, use the cronjob tool instead of spawning — handles delivery and retry\n\n---\n\n## Durable & Background Systems\n\nFour systems run alongside the main conversation loop. Quick reference\nhere; full developer notes live in AGENTS.md, user-facing docs under\nwebsite/docs/user-guide/features/.\n\n### Delegation (delegate_task)\n\nSynchronous subagent spawn — the parent waits for the child's summary\nbefore continuing its own loop. Isolated context + terminal session.\n\n- **Single:** delegate_task(goal, context, toolsets).\n- **Batch:** delegate_task(tasks=[{goal, ...}, ...]) runs children in\n parallel, capped by delegation.max_concurrent_children (default 3).\n- **Roles:** leaf (default; cannot re-delegate) vs orchestrator\n (can spawn its own workers, bounded by delegation.max_spawn_depth).\n- **Not durable.** If the parent is interrupted, the child is\n cancelled. For work that must outlive the turn, use cronjob or\n terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True).\n\nConfig: delegation.* in config.yaml.\n\n### Cron (scheduled jobs)\n\nDurable scheduler — cron/jobs.py + cron/scheduler.py. Drive it via\nthe cronjob tool, the hermes cron CLI (list, add, edit,\npause, resume, run, remove), or the /cron slash command.\n\n- **Schedules:** duration (\"30m\", \"2h\"), \"every\" phrase\n (\"every monday 9am\"), 5-field cron (\"0 9 * * *\"), or ISO timestamp.\n- **Per-job knobs:** skills, model/provider override, script\n (pre-run data collection; no_agent=True makes the script the whole\n job), context_from (chain job A's output into job B), workdir\n (run in a specific dir with its AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md loaded),\n multi-platform delivery.\n- **Invariants:** 3-minute hard interrupt per run, .tick.lock file\n prevents duplicate ticks across processes, cron sessions pass\n skip_memory=True by default, and cron deliveries are framed with a\n header/footer instead of being mirrored into the target gateway\n session (keeps role alternation intact).\n\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron\n\n### Curator (skill lifecycle)\n\nBackground maintenance for agent-created skills. Tracks usage, marks\nidle skills stale, archives stale ones, keeps a pre-run tar.gz backup\nso nothing is lost.\n\n- **CLI:** hermes curator — status, run, pause, resume,\n pin, unpin, archive, restore, prune, backup, rollback.\n- **Slash:** /curator mirrors the CLI.\n- **Scope:** only touches skills with created_by: \"agent\" provenance.\n Bundled + hub-installed skills are off-limits. **Never deletes** —\n max destructive action is archive. Pinned skills are exempt from\n every auto-transition and every LLM review pass.\n- **Telemetry:** sidecar at ~/.hermes/skills/.usage.json holds\n per-skill use_count, view_count, patch_count,\n last_activity_at, state, pinned.\n\nConfig: curator.* (enabled, interval_hours, min_idle_hours,\nstale_after_days, archive_after_days, backup.*).\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/curator\n\n### Kanban (multi-agent work queue)\n\nDurable SQLite board for multi-profile / multi-worker collaboration.\nUsers drive it via hermes kanban ; dispatcher-spawned workers\nsee a focused kanban_* toolset gated by HERMES_KANBAN_TASK, and\norchestrator profiles can opt into the broader kanban toolset. Normal\nsessions still have zero kanban_* schema footprint unless configured.\n\n- **CLI verbs (common):** init, create, list (alias ls),\n show, assign, link, unlink, comment, complete, block,\n unblock, archive, tail. Less common: watch, stats, runs,\n log, dispatch, daemon, gc.\n- **Worker/orchestrator toolset:** kanban_show, kanban_complete,\n kanban_block, kanban_heartbeat, kanban_comment, kanban_create,\n kanban_link; profiles that explicitly enable the kanban toolset\n outside a dispatcher-spawned task also get kanban_list and\n kanban_unblock for board routing.\n- **Dispatcher** runs inside the gateway by default\n (kanban.dispatch_in_gateway: true) — reclaims stale claims,\n promotes ready tasks, atomically claims, spawns assigned profiles.\n Auto-blocks a task after failure_limit consecutive spawn failures\n (default 2; configurable via kanban.failure_limit or per-task\n max_retries).\n- **Isolation:** board is the hard boundary (workers get\n HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD pinned in env); tenant is a soft namespace\n within a board for workspace-path + memory-key isolation.\n\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/kanban\n\n---\n\n## Windows-Specific Quirks\n\nHermes runs natively on Windows (PowerShell, cmd, Windows Terminal, git-bash\nmintty, VS Code integrated terminal). Most of it just works, but a handful\nof differences between Win32 and POSIX have bitten us — document new ones\nhere as you hit them so the next person (or the next session) doesn't\nrediscover them from scratch.\n\n### Input / Keybindings\n\n**Alt+Enter doesn't insert a newline.** Windows Terminal intercepts Alt+Enter\nat the terminal layer to toggle fullscreen — the keystroke never reaches\nprompt_toolkit. Use **Ctrl+Enter** instead. Windows Terminal delivers\nCtrl+Enter as LF (c-j), distinct from plain Enter (c-m / CR), and the\nCLI binds c-j to newline insertion on win32 only (see\n_bind_prompt_submit_keys + the Windows-only c-j binding in cli.py).\nSide effect: the raw Ctrl+J keystroke also inserts a newline on Windows —\nunavoidable, because Windows Terminal collapses Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+J to\nthe same keycode at the Win32 console API layer. No conflicting binding\nexisted for Ctrl+J on Windows, so this is a harmless side effect.\n\nmintty / git-bash behaves the same (fullscreen on Alt+Enter) unless you\ndisable Alt+Fn shortcuts in Options → Keys. Easier to just use Ctrl+Enter.\n\n**Diagnosing keybindings.** Run python scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py\n(repo root) to see exactly how prompt_toolkit identifies each keystroke\nin the current terminal. Answers questions like \"does Shift+Enter come\nthrough as a distinct key?\" (almost never — most terminals collapse it\nto plain Enter) or \"what byte sequence is my terminal sending for\nCtrl+Enter?\" This is how the Ctrl+Enter = c-j fact was established.\n\n### Config / Files\n\n**HTTP 400 \"No models provided\" on first run.** config.yaml was saved\nwith a UTF-8 BOM (common when Windows apps write it). Re-save as UTF-8\nwithout BOM. hermes config edit writes without BOM; manual edits in\nNotepad are the usual culprit.\n\n### execute_code / Sandbox\n\n**WinError 10106** (\"The requested service provider could not be loaded\nor initialized\") from the sandbox child process — it can't create an\nAF_INET socket, so the loopback-TCP RPC fallback fails before\nconnect(). Root cause is usually **not** a broken Winsock LSP; it's\nHermes's own env scrubber dropping SYSTEMROOT / WINDIR / COMSPEC\nfrom the child env. Python's socket module needs SYSTEMROOT to locate\nmswsock.dll. Fixed via the _WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS allowlist in\ntools/code_execution_tool.py. If you still hit it, echo os.environ\ninside an execute_code block to confirm SYSTEMROOT is set. Full\ndiagnostic recipe in references/execute-code-sandbox-env-windows.md.\n\n### Testing / Contributing\n\n**scripts/run_tests.sh doesn't work as-is on Windows** — it looks for\nPOSIX venv layouts (.venv/bin/activate). The Hermes-installed venv at\nvenv/Scripts/ has no pip or pytest either (stripped for install size).\nWorkaround: install pytest + pytest-xdist + pyyaml into a system Python\n3.11 user site, then invoke pytest directly with PYTHONPATH set:\n\n`bash\n\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\" -m pip install --user pytest pytest-xdist pyyaml\nexport PYTHONPATH=\"$(pwd)\"\n\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\" -m pytest tests/foo/test_bar.py -v --tb=short -n 0\n`\n\nUse -n 0, not -n 4 — pyproject.toml's default addopts already\nincludes -n, and the wrapper's CI-parity guarantees don't apply off POSIX.\n\n**POSIX-only tests need skip guards.** Common markers already in the codebase:\n- Symlinks — elevated privileges on Windows\n- 0o600 file modes — POSIX mode bits not enforced on NTFS by default\n- signal.SIGALRM — Unix-only (see tests/conftest.py::_enforce_test_timeout)\n- Winsock / Windows-specific regressions — @pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != \"win32\", ...)\n\nUse the existing skip-pattern style (sys.platform == \"win32\" or\nsys.platform.startswith(\"win\")) to stay consistent with the rest of the\nsuite.\n\n### Path / Filesystem\n\n**Line endings.** Git may warn LF will be replaced by CRLF the next time\nGit touches it. Cosmetic — the repo's .gitattributes normalizes. Don't\nlet editors auto-convert committed POSIX-newline files to CRLF.\n\n**Forward slashes work almost everywhere.** C:/Users/... is accepted by\nevery Hermes tool and most Windows APIs. Prefer forward slashes in code\nand logs — avoids shell-escaping backslashes in bash.\n\n---\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Voice not working\n1. Check stt.enabled: true in config.yaml\n2. Verify provider: pip install faster-whisper or set API key\n3. In gateway: /restart. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\n\n### Tool not available\n1. hermes tools — check if toolset is enabled for your platform\n2. Some tools need env vars (check .env)\n3. /reset after enabling tools\n\n### Model/provider issues\n1. hermes doctor — check config and dependencies\n2. hermes auth — re-authenticate OAuth providers (or hermes auth add )\n3. Check .env has the right API key\n4. **Copilot 403**: gh auth login tokens do NOT work for Copilot API. You must use the Copilot-specific OAuth device code flow via hermes model → GitHub Copilot.\n\n### Changes not taking effect\n- **Tools/skills:** /reset starts a new session with updated toolset\n- **Config changes:** In gateway: /restart. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\n- **Code changes:** Restart the CLI or gateway process\n\n### Skills not showing\n1. hermes skills list — verify installed\n2. hermes skills config — check platform enablement\n3. Load explicitly: /skill name or hermes -s name\n\n### Gateway issues\nCheck logs first:\n`bash\ngrep -i \"failed to send\\|error\" ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -20\n`\n\nCommon gateway problems:\n- **Gateway dies on SSH logout**: Enable linger: sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER\n- **Gateway dies on WSL2 close**: WSL2 requires systemd=true in /etc/wsl.conf for systemd services to work. Without it, gateway falls back to nohup (dies when session closes).\n- **Gateway crash loop**: Reset the failed state: systemctl --user reset-failed hermes-gateway\n\n### Platform-specific issues\n- **Discord bot silent**: Must enable **Message Content Intent** in Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents.\n- **Slack bot only works in DMs**: Must subscribe to message.channels event. Without it, the bot ignores public channels.\n- **Windows-specific issues** (Alt+Enter newline, WinError 10106, UTF-8 BOM config, test suite, line endings): see the dedicated **Windows-Specific Quirks** section above.\n\n### Auxiliary models not working\nIf auxiliary tasks (vision, compression, session_search) fail silently, the auto provider can't find a backend. Either set OPENROUTER_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY, or explicitly configure each auxiliary task's provider:\n`bash\nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.provider \nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.model \n`\n\n---\n\n## Where to Find Things\n\n| Looking for... | Location |\n|----------------|----------|\n| Config options | hermes config edit or [Configuration docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/configuration) |\n| Available tools | hermes tools list or [Tools reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/tools-reference) |\n| Slash commands | /help in session or [Slash commands reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/slash-commands) |\n| Skills catalog | hermes skills browse or [Skills catalog](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/skills-catalog) |\n| Provider setup | hermes model or [Providers guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/integrations/providers) |\n| Platform setup | hermes gateway setup or [Messaging docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/) |\n| MCP servers | hermes mcp list or [MCP guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp) |\n| Profiles | hermes profile list or [Profiles docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/profiles) |\n| Cron jobs | hermes cron list or [Cron docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron) |\n| Memory | hermes memory status or [Memory docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/memory) |\n| Env variables | hermes config env-path or [Env vars reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/environment-variables) |\n| CLI commands | hermes --help or [CLI reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/cli-commands) |\n| Gateway logs | ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log |\n| Session files | hermes sessions browse (reads state.db) |\n| Source code | ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/ |\n\n---\n\n## References\n\n- references/webhooks.md — Full webhook setup, route config, payload templating, event-driven agent-run patterns\n- references/native-mcp.md — Native MCP client: how built-in client connects servers, auto-discovers tools, catalog install\n- references/reverse-proxy-ws-cors.md — Reverse proxy, WebSocket, and CORS configuration for gateway\n- references/custom-skills.md — Custom skill development patterns: directory structure, Node.js/Python skills, face-api.js model weights, Discord mirror bridge integration, common pitfalls\n\n---\n\n## Contributor Quick Reference\n\nFor occasional contributors and PR authors.

Create tools/your_tool.py:**\n`python\nimport json, os\nfrom tools.registry import registry\n\ndef check_requirements() -> bool:\n return bool(os.getenv(\"EXAMPLE_API_KEY\"))\n\ndef example_tool(param: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:\n return json.dumps({\"success\": True, \"data\": \"...\"})\n\nregistry.register(\n name=\"example_tool\",\n toolset=\"example\",\n schema={\"name\": \"example_tool\", \"description\": \"...\", \"parameters\": {...}},\n handler=lambda args, **kw: example_tool(\n param=args.get(\"param\", \"\"), task_id=kw.get(\"task_id\")),\n check_fn=check_requirements,\n requires_env=[\"EXAMPLE_API_KEY\"],\n)\n`\n\n**2. Add to toolsets.py** → _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS list.\n\nAuto-discovery: any tools/*.py file with a top-level registry.register() call is imported automatically — no manual list needed.\n\nAll handlers must return JSON strings. Use get_hermes_home() for paths, never hardcode ~/.hermes.\n\n### Adding a Slash Command\n\n1. Add CommandDef to COMMAND_REGISTRY in hermes_cli/commands.py\n2. Add handler in cli.py → process_command()\n3. (Optional) Add gateway handler in gateway/run.py\n\nAll consumers (help text, autocomplete, Telegram menu, Slack mapping) derive from the central registry automatically.\n\n### Agent Loop (High Level)\n\n`\nrun_conversation():\n 1. Build system prompt\n 2. Loop while iterations < max:\n a. Call LLM (OpenAI-format messages + tool schemas)\n b. If tool_calls → dispatch each via handle_function_call() → append results → continue\n c. If text response → return\n 3. Context compression triggers automatically near token limit\n`\n\n### Testing\n\n`bash\npython -m pytest tests/ -o 'addopts=' -q # Full suite\npython -m pytest tests/tools/ -q # Specific area\n`\n\n- Tests auto-redirect HERMES_HOME to temp dirs — never touch real ~/.hermes/\n- Run full suite before pushing any change\n- Use -o 'addopts=' to clear any baked-in pytest flags\n\n**Windows contributors:** scripts/run_tests.sh currently looks for POSIX venvs (.venv/bin/activate / venv/bin/activate) and will error out on Windows where the layout is venv/Scripts/activate + python.exe. The Hermes-installed venv at venv/Scripts/ also has no pip or pytest — it's stripped for end-user install size. Workaround: install pytest + pytest-xdist + pyyaml into a system Python 3.11 user site (/c/Program Files/Python311/python -m pip install --user pytest pytest-xdist pyyaml), then run tests directly:\n\n`bash\nexport PYTHONPATH=\"$(pwd)\"\n\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\" -m pytest tests/tools/test_foo.py -v --tb=short -n 0\n`\n\nUse -n 0 (not -n 4) because pyproject.toml's default addopts already includes -n, and the wrapper's CI-parity story doesn't apply off-POSIX.\n\n**Cross-platform test guards:** tests that use POSIX-only syscalls need a skip marker. Common ones already in the codebase:\n- Symlink creation → @pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform == \"win32\", reason=\"Symlinks require elevated privileges on Windows\") (see tests/cron/test_cron_script.py)\n- POSIX file modes (0o600, etc.) → @pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform.startswith(\"win\"), reason=\"POSIX mode bits not enforced on Windows\") (see tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_toctou_file_modes.py)\n- signal.SIGALRM → Unix-only (see tests/conftest.py::_enforce_test_timeout)\n- Live Winsock / Windows-specific regression tests → @pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != \"win32\", reason=\"Windows-specific regression\")\n\n**Monkeypatching sys.platform is not enough** when the code under test also calls platform.system() / platform.release() / platform.mac_ver(). Those functions re-read the real OS independently, so a test that sets sys.platform = \"linux\" on a Windows runner will still see platform.system() == \"Windows\" and route through the Windows branch. Patch all three together:\n\n`python\nmonkeypatch.setattr(sys, \"platform\", \"linux\")\nmonkeypatch.setattr(platform, \"system\", lambda: \"Linux\")\nmonkeypatch.setattr(platform, \"release\", lambda: \"6.8.0-generic\")\n`\n\nSee tests/agent/test_prompt_builder.py::TestEnvironmentHints for a worked example.\n\n### Extending the system prompt's execution-environment block\n\nFactual guidance about the host OS, user home, cwd, terminal backend, and shell (bash vs. PowerShell on Windows) is emitted from agent/prompt_builder.py::build_environment_hints(). This is also where the WSL hint and per-backend probe logic live. The convention:\n\n- **Local terminal backend** → emit host info (OS, $HOME, cwd) + Windows-specific notes (hostname ≠ username, terminal uses bash not PowerShell).\n- **Remote terminal backend** (anything in _REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS: docker, singularity, modal, daytona, ssh, managed_modal) → **suppress** host info entirely and describe only the backend. A live uname/whoami/pwd probe runs inside the backend via tools.environments.get_environment(...).execute(...), cached per process in _BACKEND_PROBE_CACHE, with a static fallback if the probe times out.\n- **Key fact for prompt authoring:** when TERMINAL_ENV != \"local\", *every* file tool (read_file, write_file, patch, search_files) runs inside the backend container, not on the host. The system prompt must never describe the host in that case — the agent can't touch it.\n\nFull design notes, the exact emitted strings, and testing pitfalls:\nreferences/prompt-builder-environment-hints.md.\n\n**Refactor-safety pattern (POSIX-equivalence guard):** when you extract inline logic into a helper that adds Windows/platform-specific behavior, keep a _legacy_ oracle function in the test file that's a verbatim copy of the old code, then parametrize-diff against it. Example: tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py::TestPosixEquivalence. This locks in the invariant that POSIX behavior is bit-for-bit identical and makes any future drift fail loudly with a clear diff.\n\n### Commit Conventions\n\n`\ntype: concise subject line\n\nOptional body.\n`\n\nTypes: fix:, feat:, refactor:, docs:, chore:\n\n### Key Rules\n\n- **Never break prompt caching** — don't change context, tools, or system prompt mid-conversation\n- **Message role alternation** — never two assistant or two user messages in a row\n- Use get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants for all paths (profile-safe)\n- Config values go in config.yaml, secrets go in .env\n- New tools need a check_fn so they only appear when requirements are met\n\n---\n\n## Style Guidelines for This User\n\n**Response Style (User Shawndell):**\n- Plain English only, no Chinese characters or Unicode symbols (arrows, bullets, boxes)\n- Direct, concise answers - \"test it for me, don't just tell me how\"\n- Minimal formatting - avoid excessive headers, boxed output, and structured data dumps\n- Lead with the actionable answer, then supporting details if needed\n\n**Tool Usage:**\n- Use terminal tool for shell commands (not shell - that gets blocked)\n- Prefer direct file operations (read_file, write_file, patch) for file manipulation\n- Always verify tool results immediately after execution\n\n**Execution Mode:**\n- Autonomous: Run commands and report results without asking permission\n- Verify outcomes via read_file or tool results\n- Fail fast and report blockers honestly when things don't work\n\n**Communication Preferences:**\n- \"Likes 'test it for me, don't just tell me how'\" - expect autonomous execution\n- \"User prefers autonomous test-before-report execution\" - verify before delivering results\n- Focus on deliverables, not process documentation\n- Never substitute fabricated output for results you couldn't produce\n\n**Common Pitfall: Inline Scripts**\n- Large inline bash commands get blocked by the parser\n- Save to a script file and run it: bash /root/script.sh`\n- Or use smaller, individual commands\n", "path": "autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md", "skill_dir": "/root/.hermes/skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent", "org_provenance": null, "linked_files": {"references": ["references/troubleshooting.md", "references/background-systems.md", "references/delegate-task-concurrency-diagnosis.md", "references/portal-auth-for-third-party-apps.md", "references/cli-reference.md", "references/tui-widgets.md", "references/reverse-proxy-ws-cors.md", "references/windows-quirks.md", "references/security-privacy.md", "references/project-context-files.md", "references/native-mcp.md", "references/desktop-plugins.md", "references/petdex.md", "references/configuration.md", "references/webhooks.md", "references/providers-and-models.md", "references/themes.md", "references/custom-skills.md", "references/contributor-guide.md", "references/slash-commands.md"], "templates": ["templates/skin.yaml"]}, "usage_hint": "To view linked files, call skill_view(name, file_path) where file_path is e.g. 'references/api.md' or 'assets/config.yaml'", "required_environment_variables": [], "required_commands": [], "missing_required_environment_variables": [], "missing_credential_files": [], "missing_required_commands": [], "setup_needed": false, "setup_skipped": false, "readiness_status": "available", "_source_path": "/root/.hermes/skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md", "metadata": {"hermes": {"tags": ["hermes", "setup", "configuration", "multi-agent", "spawning", "cli", "gateway", "development"], "homepage": "https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent", "related_skills": ["claude-code", "codex", "opencode"]}}}

Cross-references are already there.\n22|Contradictions have already been flagged. Synthesis reflects everything ingested.\n23|\n24|**Division of labor:** The human curates sources and directs analysis. The agent\n25|summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency.\n26|\n27|## When This Skill Activates\n28|\n29|Use this skill when the user:\n30|- Asks to create, build, or start a wiki or knowledge base\n31|- Asks to ingest, add, or process a source into their wiki\n32|- Asks a question and an existing wiki is present at the configured path\n33|- Asks to lint, audit, or health-check their wiki\n34|- References their wiki, knowledge base, or \"notes\" in a research context\n35|\n36|## Wiki Location\n37|\n38|**Location:** Set via WIKI_PATH environment variable (e.g. in ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env).\n39|\n40|If unset, defaults to ~/wiki.\n41|\n42|``bash\n43|WIKI=\"${WIKI_PATH:-$HOME/wiki}\"\n44|`\n45|\n46|The wiki is just a directory of markdown files — open it in Obsidian, VS Code, or\n47|any editor. No database, no special tooling required.\n48|\n49|## Architecture: Three Layers\n50|\n51|`\n52|wiki/\n53|├── SCHEMA.md # Conventions, structure rules, domain config\n54|├── index.md # Sectioned content catalog with one-line summaries\n55|├── log.md # Chronological action log (append-only, rotated yearly)\n56|├── raw/ # Layer 1: Immutable source material\n57|│ ├── articles/ # Web articles, clippings\n58|│ ├── papers/ # PDFs, arxiv papers\n59|│ ├── transcripts/ # Meeting notes, interviews\n60|│ └── assets/ # Images, diagrams referenced by sources\n61|├── entities/ # Layer 2: Entity pages (people, orgs, products, models)\n62|├── concepts/ # Layer 2: Concept/topic pages\n63|├── comparisons/ # Layer 2: Side-by-side analyses\n64|└── queries/ # Layer 2: Filed query results worth keeping\n65|`\n66|\n67|**Layer 1 — Raw Sources:** Immutable. The agent reads but never modifies these.\n68|**Layer 2 — The Wiki:** Agent-owned markdown files. Created, updated, and\n69|cross-referenced by the agent.\n70|**Layer 3 — The Schema:** SCHEMA.md defines structure, conventions, and tag taxonomy.\n71|\n72|## Resuming an Existing Wiki (CRITICAL — do this every session)\n73|\n74|When the user has an existing wiki, **always orient yourself before doing anything**:\n75|\n76|① **Read SCHEMA.md** — understand the domain, conventions, and tag taxonomy.\n77|② **Read index.md** — learn what pages exist and their summaries.\n78|③ **Scan recent log.md** — read the last 20-30 entries to understand recent activity.\n79|\n80|`bash\n81|WIKI=\"${WIKI_PATH:-$HOME/wiki}\"\n82|# Orientation reads at session start\n83|read_file \"$WIKI/SCHEMA.md\"\n84|read_file \"$WIKI/index.md\"\n85|read_file \"$WIKI/log.md\" offset=\n86|`\n87|\n88|Only after orientation should you ingest, query, or lint. This prevents:\n89|- Creating duplicate pages for entities that already exist\n90|- Missing cross-references to existing content\n91|- Contradicting the schema's conventions\n92|- Repeating work already logged\n93|\n94|For large wikis (100+ pages), also run a quick search_files for the topic\n95|at hand before creating anything new.\n96|\n97|## Initializing a New Wiki\n98|\n99|When the user asks to create or start a wiki:\n100|\n101|1. Determine the wiki path (from $WIKI_PATH env var, or ask the user; default ~/wiki)\n102|2. Create the directory structure above\n103|3. Ask the user what domain the wiki covers — be specific\n104|4. Write SCHEMA.md customized to the domain (see template below)\n105|5. Write initial index.md with sectioned header\n106|6. Write initial log.md with creation entry\n107|7. Confirm the wiki is ready and suggest first sources to ingest\n108|\n109|### SCHEMA.md Template\n110|\n111|Adapt to the user's domain. The schema constrains agent behavior and ensures consistency:\n112|\n113|`markdown\n114|# Wiki Schema\n115|\n116|## Domain\n117|[What this wiki covers — e.g., \"AI/ML research\", \"personal health\", \"startup intelligence\"]\n118|\n119|## Conventions\n120|- File names: lowercase, hyphens, no spaces (e.g., transformer-architecture.md)\n121|- Every wiki page starts with YAML frontmatter (see below)\n122|- Use [[wikilinks]] to link between pages (minimum 2 outbound links per page)\n123|- When updating a page, always bump the updated date\n124|- Every new page must be added to index.md under the correct section\n125|- Every action must be appended to log.md\n126|- **Provenance markers:** On pages that synthesize 3+ sources, append ^[raw/articles/source-file.md]\n127| at the end of paragraphs whose claims come from a specific source. This lets a reader trace each\n128| claim back without re-reading the whole raw file. Optional on single-source pages where the\n129| sources: frontmatter is enough.\n130|\n131|## Frontmatter\n132| `yaml\n133| ---\n134| title: Page Title\n135| created: YYYY-MM-DD\n136| updated: YYYY-MM-DD\n137| type: entity | concept | comparison | query | summary\n138| tags: [from taxonomy below]\n139| sources: [raw/articles/source-name.md]\n140| # Optional quality signals:\n141| confidence: high | medium | low # how well-supported the claims are\n142| contested: true # set when the page has unresolved contradictions\n143| contradictions: [other-page-slug] # pages this one conflicts with\n144| ---\n145| `\n146|\n147|confidence and contested are optional but recommended for opinion-heavy or fast-moving\n148|topics. Lint surfaces contested: true and confidence: low pages for review so weak claims\n149|don't silently harden into accepted wiki fact.\n150|\n151|### raw/ Frontmatter\n152|\n153|Raw sources ALSO get a small frontmatter block so re-ingests can detect drift:\n154|\n155|`yaml\n156|---\n157|source_url: https://example.com/article # original URL, if applicable\n158|ingested: YYYY-MM-DD\n159|sha256: \n160|---\n161|`\n162|\n163|The sha256: lets a future re-ingest of the same URL skip processing when content is unchanged,\n164|and flag drift when it has changed. Compute over the body only (everything after the closing\n165|---), not the frontmatter itself.\n166|\n167|## Tag Taxonomy\n168|[Define 10-20 top-level tags for the domain.

Ingest\n258|\n259|When the user provides a source (URL, file, paste), integrate it into the wiki:\n260|\n261|① **Capture the raw source:**\n262| - URL → use web_extract to get markdown, save to raw/articles/\n263| - PDF → use web_extract (handles PDFs), save to raw/papers/\n264| - Pasted text → save to appropriate raw/ subdirectory\n265| - Name the file descriptively: raw/articles/karpathy-llm-wiki-2026.md\n266| - **Add raw frontmatter** (source_url, ingested, sha256 of the body).\n267| On re-ingest of the same URL: recompute the sha256, compare to the stored value —\n268| skip if identical, flag drift and update if different. This is cheap enough to\n269| do on every re-ingest and catches silent source changes.\n270|\n271|② **Discuss takeaways** with the user — what's interesting, what matters for\n272| the domain. (Skip this in automated/cron contexts — proceed directly.)\n273|\n274|③ **Check what already exists** — search index.md and use search_files to find\n275| existing pages for mentioned entities/concepts. This is the difference between\n276| a growing wiki and a pile of duplicates.\n277|\n278|④ **Write or update wiki pages:**\n279| - **New entities/concepts:** Create pages only if they meet the Page Thresholds\n280| in SCHEMA.md (2+ source mentions, or central to one source)\n281| - **Existing pages:** Add new information, update facts, bump updated date.\n282| When new info contradicts existing content, follow the Update Policy.\n283| - **Cross-reference:** Every new or updated page must link to at least 2 other\n284| pages via [[wikilinks]]. Check that existing pages link back.\n285| - **Tags:** Only use tags from the taxonomy in SCHEMA.md\n286| - **Provenance:** On pages synthesizing 3+ sources, append ^[raw/articles/source.md]\n287| markers to paragraphs whose claims trace to a specific source.\n288| - **Confidence:** For opinion-heavy, fast-moving, or single-source claims, set\n289| confidence: medium or low in frontmatter. Don't mark high unless the\n290| claim is well-supported across multiple sources.\n291|\n292|⑤ **Update navigation:**\n293| - Add new pages to index.md under the correct section, alphabetically\n294| - Update the \"Total pages\" count and \"Last updated\" date in index header\n295| - Append to log.md: ## [YYYY-MM-DD] ingest | Source Title\n296| - List every file created or updated in the log entry\n297|\n298|⑥ **Report what changed** — list every file created or updated to the user.\n299|\n300|A single source can trigger updates across 5-15 wiki pages. This is normal\n301|and desired — it's the compounding effect.\n302|\n303|### 2. Query\n304|\n305|When the user asks a question about the wiki's domain:\n306|\n307|① **Read index.md** to identify relevant pages.\n308|② **For wikis with 100+ pages**, also search_files across all .md files\n309| for key terms — the index alone may miss relevant content.\n310|③ **Read the relevant pages** using read_file.\n311|④ **Synthesize an answer** from the compiled knowledge. Cite the wiki pages\n312| you drew from: \"Based on [[page-a]] and [[page-b]]...\"\n313|⑤ **File valuable answers back** — if the answer is a substantial comparison,\n314| deep dive, or novel synthesis, create a page in queries/ or comparisons/.\n315| Don't file trivial lookups — only answers that would be painful to re-derive.\n316|⑥ **Update log.md** with the query and whether it was filed.\n317|\n318|### 3. Lint\n319|\n320|When the user asks to lint, health-check, or audit the wiki:\n321|\n322|① **Orphan pages:** Find pages with no inbound [[wikilinks]] from other pages.\n323|`python\n324|# Use execute_code for this — programmatic scan across all wiki pages\n325|import os, re\n326|from collections import defaultdict\n327|wiki = \"\"\n328|# Scan all .md files in entities/, concepts/, comparisons/, queries/\n329|# Extract all [[wikilinks]] — build inbound link map\n330|# Pages with zero inbound links are orphans\n331|`\n332|\n333|② **Broken wikilinks:** Find [[links]] that point to pages that don't exist.\n334|\n335|③ **Index completeness:** Every wiki page should appear in index.md. Compare\n336| the filesystem against index entries.\n337|\n338|④ **Frontmatter validation:** Every wiki page must have all required fields\n339| (title, created, updated, type, tags, sources). Tags must be in the taxonomy.\n340|\n341|⑤ **Stale content:** Pages whose updated date is >90 days older than the most\n342| recent source that mentions the same entities.\n343|\n344|⑥ **Contradictions:** Pages on the same topic with conflicting claims. Look for\n345| pages that share tags/entities but state different facts. Surface all pages\n346| with contested: true or contradictions: frontmatter for user review.\n347|\n348|⑦ **Quality signals:** List pages with confidence: low and any page that cites\n349| only a single source but has no confidence field set — these are candidates\n350| for either finding corroboration or demoting to confidence: medium.\n351|\n352|⑧ **Source drift:** For each file in raw/ with a sha256: frontmatter, recompute\n353| the hash and flag mismatches. Mismatches indicate the raw file was edited\n354| (shouldn't happen — raw/ is immutable) or ingested from a URL that has since\n355| changed. Not a hard error, but worth reporting.\n356|\n357|⑨ **Page size:** Flag pages over 200 lines — candidates for splitting.\n358|\n359|⑩ **Tag audit:** List all tags in use, flag any not in the SCHEMA.md taxonomy.\n360|\n361|⑪ **Log rotation:** If log.md exceeds 500 entries, rotate it.\n362|\n363|⑫ **Report findings** with specific file paths and suggested actions, grouped by\n364| severity (broken links > orphans > source drift > contested pages > stale content > style issues).\n365|\n366|⑬ **Append to log.md:** ## [YYYY-MM-DD] lint | N issues found\n367|\n368|## Working with the Wiki\n369|\n370|### Searching\n371|\n372|`bash\n373|# Find pages by content\n374|search_files \"transformer\" path=\"$WIKI\" file_glob=\"*.md\"\n375|\n376|# Find pages by filename\n377|search_files \"*.md\" target=\"files\" path=\"$WIKI\"\n378|\n379|# Find pages by tag\n380|search_files \"tags:.*alignment\" path=\"$WIKI\" file_glob=\"*.md\"\n381|\n382|# Recent activity\n383|read_file \"$WIKI/log.md\" offset=\n384|`\n385|\n386|### Bulk Ingest\n387|\n388|When ingesting multiple sources at once, batch the updates:\n389|1. Read all sources first\n390|2. Identify all entities and concepts across all sources\n391|3. Check existing pages for all of them (one search pass, not N)\n392|4. Create/update pages in one pass (avoids redundant updates)\n393|5. Update index.md once at the end\n394|6. Write a single log entry covering the batch\n395|\n396|### Archiving\n397|\n398|When content is fully superseded or the domain scope changes:\n399|1. Create _archive/ directory if it doesn't exist\n400|2. Move the page to _archive/ with its original path (e.g., _archive/entities/old-page.md)\n401|3. Remove from index.md\n402|4. Update any pages that linked to it — replace wikilink with plain text + \"(archived)\"\n403|5. Log the archive action\n404|\n405|### Obsidian Integration\n406|\n407|The wiki directory works as an Obsidian vault out of the box:\n408|- [[wikilinks]] render as clickable links\n409|- Graph View visualizes the knowledge network\n410|- YAML frontmatter powers Dataview queries\n411|- The raw/assets/ folder holds images referenced via ![[image.png]]\n412|\n413|For best results:\n414|- Set Obsidian's attachment folder to raw/assets/\n415|- Enable \"Wikilinks\" in Obsidian settings (usually on by default)\n416|- Install Dataview plugin for queries like TABLE tags FROM \"entities\" WHERE contains(tags, \"company\")\n417|\n418|If using the Obsidian skill alongside this one, set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH to the\n419|same directory as the wiki path.\n420|\n421|### Obsidian Headless (servers and headless machines)\n422|\n423|On machines without a display, use obsidian-headless instead of the desktop app.\n424|It syncs vaults via Obsidian Sync without a GUI — perfect for agents running on\n425|servers that write to the wiki while Obsidian desktop reads it on another device.\n426|\n427|**Setup:**\n428|`bash\n429|# Requires Node.js 22+\n430|npm install -g obsidian-headless\n431|\n432|# Login (requires Obsidian account with Sync subscription)\n433|ob login --email --password ''\n434|\n435|# Create a remote vault for the wiki\n436|ob sync-create-remote --name \"LLM Wiki\"\n437|\n438|# Connect the wiki directory to the vault\n439|cd ~/wiki\n440|ob sync-setup --vault \"\"\n441|\n442|# Initial sync\n443|ob sync\n444|\n445|# Continuous sync (foreground — use systemd for background)\n446|ob sync --continuous\n447|`\n448|\n449|**Continuous background sync via systemd:**\n450|`ini\n451|# ~/.config/systemd/user/obsidian-wiki-sync.service\n452|[Unit]\n453|Description=Obsidian LLM Wiki Sync\n454|After=network-online.target\n455|Wants=network-online.target\n456|\n457|[Service]\n458|ExecStart=/path/to/ob sync --continuous\n459|WorkingDirectory=%h/wiki\n460|Restart=on-failure\n461|RestartSec=10\n462|\n463|[Install]\n464|WantedBy=default.target\n465|`\n466|\n467|`bash\n468|systemctl --user daemon-reload\n469|systemctl --user enable --now obsidian-wiki-sync\n470|# Enable linger so sync survives logout:\n471|sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER\n472|`\n473|\n474|This lets the agent write to ~/wiki on a server while you browse the same\n475|vault in Obsidian on your laptop/phone — changes appear within seconds.\n476|\n477|## Pitfalls\n478|\n479|- **Never modify files in raw/** — sources are immutable. Corrections go in wiki pages.\n480|- **Always orient first** — read SCHEMA + index + recent log before any operation in a new session.\n481| Skipping this causes duplicates and missed cross-references.\n482|- **Always update index.md and log.md** — skipping this makes the wiki degrade. These are the\n483| navigational backbone.\n484|- **Don't create pages for passing mentions** — follow the Page Thresholds in SCHEMA.md. A name\n485| appearing once in a footnote doesn't warrant an entity page.\n486|- **Don't create pages without cross-references** — isolated pages are invisible. Every page must\n487| link to at least 2 other pages.\n488|- **Frontmatter is required** — it enables search, filtering, and staleness detection.\n489|- **Tags must come from the taxonomy** — freeform tags decay into noise. Add new tags to SCHEMA.md\n490| first, then use them.\n491|- **Keep pages scannable** — a wiki page should be readable in 30 seconds. Split pages over\n492| 200 lines. Move detailed analysis to dedicated deep-dive pages.\n493|- **Ask before mass-updating** — if an ingest would touch 10+ existing pages, confirm\n494| the scope with the user first.\n495|- **Rotate the log** — when log.md exceeds 500 entries, rename it log-YYYY.md` and start fresh.\n496| The agent should check log size during lint.\n497|- **Handle contradictions explicitly** — don't silently overwrite. Note both claims with dates,\n498| mark in frontmatter, flag for user review.\n499|\n500|## Related Tools\n501|\n502|[llm-wiki-compiler](https://github.com/atomicmemory/llm-wiki-compiler) is a Node.js CLI that\n503|compiles sources into a concept wiki with the same Karpathy inspiration. It's Obsidian-compatible,\n504|so users who want a scheduled/CLI-driven compile pipeline can point it at the same vault this\n505|skill maintains.

{"output": "# Hermes Agent - Development Guide\n\nInstructions for AI coding assistants and developers working on the hermes-agent codebase.\nThis root file holds only what applies everywhere. Each area has its own AGENTS.md (aim for\n~8k chars; agent/subdirectory_hints.py delivers up to 32k and truncates head/tail with a warning\npast that); see the **routing table** at the end and read the area file before editing in that area.\n\n**Never give up on the right solution.**\n\n## What Hermes Is\n\nHermes is a personal AI agent that runs the same agent core across a CLI, a messaging\ngateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ~20 platforms), a TUI, and an Electron desktop app. It\nlearns across sessions (memory + skills), delegates to subagents, runs scheduled jobs, and\ndrives a real terminal and browser. It is extended primarily through **plugins and skills**,\nnot by growing the core.\n\nTwo invariants shape almost every design decision and are the lens for reviewing any change:\n\n- **Per-conversation prompt caching is sacred.** A long-lived conversation reuses a cached\n prefix every turn. Anything that mutates past context, swaps toolsets, reloads memories, or\n rebuilds the system prompt mid-conversation invalidates that cache and multiplies the user's\n cost. We do not do it; the ONE exception is context compression. Slash commands that mutate\n system-prompt state (skills, tools, memory) must be **cache-aware**: default to deferred\n invalidation (takes effect next session) with an opt-in --now flag (/skills install --now\n is the canonical pattern).\n- **The core is a narrow waist; capability lives at the edges.** Every model tool is sent on\n every API call, so the bar for a new *core* tool is high. New capability should arrive as a\n CLI command + skill, a service-gated tool, or a plugin — not as core surface.\n\n## Contribution Rubric — What We Want / What We Don't\n\nThe project's intent layer. It serves humans aiming a contribution AND the automated triage\nsweeper, which may only close on implemented_on_main, cannot_reproduce, or incoherent.\nTaste-based \"out of scope\" closes are a human maintainer's call; the sweeper's job is to\nrecognize design intent and *avoid wrongly closing a legitimate contribution*.\n\nRead the balance right: Hermes ships a **lot**. Most merges are bug fixes to reported\nbehavior, and the product surface (platforms, providers, models, desktop/TUI features)\nexpands aggressively on purpose. The restraint below targets the **core agent + model tool\nschema**, the one place where every addition is paid for on every API call. \"Smallest\nfootprint\" governs *how a capability is wired into the core*, not whether the product may\ngrow: expansive at the edges, conservative at the waist.\n\n### What we want\n\n- **Fix real bugs, well.** Reproduce the symptom on current main, point to the exact line\n where it manifests, and fix the whole bug class — sibling call paths included.\n- **Expand reach at the edges.** New adapters, channels, providers, models, desktop/TUI/\n dashboard features land routinely, including large ones — as long as they integrate with\n the existing setup/config UX (hermes tools, hermes setup, auto-install) rather than\n bolting on a raw env var.\n- **Refactor god-files into clean modules.** Huge mechanical +N/-N extraction PRs are\n wanted work. \"Every line traces to the request\" applies to *feature* PRs; a declared\n refactor's request IS the extraction.\n- **Keep the core narrow.** Prefer, in order: extend existing code → CLI command + skill →\n service-gated tool (check_fn) → plugin → MCP server in the catalog → new core tool (last\n resort). See the Footprint Ladder.\n- **Extend, don't duplicate.** Check whether existing infrastructure covers the use case\n before adding a module/manager/hook.

Now I have a thorough understanding of the system. Let me understand the key mechanisms:

1. **Context loading**: The research profile's terminal.cwd is not set, so it defaults to . (launch dir). Setting terminal.cwd to the research profile dir will cause build_context_files_prompt to look for AGENTS.md/.hermes.md/etc. in that directory at session start.
2. **SOUL.md**: Loaded from HERMES_HOME (the profile root) automatically - this is the identity slot.
3. **Profile isolation**: Each profile has its own config.yaml, .env, SOUL.md, memories/ directory. Gateway multiplexes between profiles via profile_routes in config.yaml.
4. **Sharing mechanism**: Hermes doesn't have a built-in "shared-approved" directory concept; I'll create one as a structured directory within the research profile and grant read-only access via symlinks from android-dev and infra profiles.

Let me now create the full setup. First, I'll create the backup directory, then build out all the files.

Now let me create the research brain directory structure and files. First, the shared-approved directory and SOUL.md:

Now let me create the main research brain files: SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, USER.md, RULES.md, INDEX.md, and the context-loading skill.

Assistant

Assistant

Now let me create the AGENTS.md in the research profile root that ties into the context loading mechanism, and merge the existing SOUL.md content:

Assistant

{"bytes_written": 3201, "dirs_created": true, "verified": true, "lint": {"status": "skipped", "message": "No linter for .md files"}, "resolved_path": "/root/.hermes/profiles/research/AGENTS.md", "files_modified": ["/root/.hermes/profiles/research/AGENTS.md"]}

Assistant

Now I need to update the research profile's config.yaml to set terminal.cwd to the research profile directory. This is what makes AGENTS.md get loaded at session start:

Assistant

{"status": "unchanged", "message": "File unchanged since last read. The content from the earlier read_file result in this conversation is still current — refer to that instead of re-reading.", "path": "/root/.hermes/profiles/research/config.yaml", "dedup": true, "content_returned": false}

Assistant

I already have the config content. The research config.yaml has 68 lines and no terminal section. Let me add one with cwd set to the profile directory. I need to use patch to insert it:

Assistant

Now create the memory-wiki skill package files for the research profile - a custom skill that loads the brain index and rules:

Assistant

Now let me create the cross-profile symlinks (least-privilege read-only access), then merge the existing SOUL.md with the parent identity:

Assistant

{"output": "=== android-dev brain-shared ===\nlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 65 Oct 23 00:50 /root/.hermes/profiles/android-dev/brain-shared -> /root/.hermes/profiles/research/brain/shared-approved/android-dev\n=== infra brain-shared ===\nlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 59 Oct 23 00:50 /root/.hermes/profiles/infra/brain-shared -> /root/.hermes/profiles/research/brain/shared-approved/infra\n=== symlink target resolution ===\n/root/.hermes/profiles/research/brain/shared-approved/android-dev\n/root/.hermes/profiles/research/brain/shared-approved/infra", "exit_code": 0, "error": null}

Now let me merge the existing SOUL.md content. The research profile's SOUL.md currently contains the parent Hermes identity. I need to merge it with the research brain identity:

Assistant

{"status": "unchanged", "message": "File unchanged since last read. The content from the earlier read_file result in this conversation is still current — refer to that instead of re-reading.", "path": "/root/.hermes/profiles/research/SOUL.md", "dedup": true, "content_returned": false}

Assistant

Good, I already have the content. The existing SOUL.md is the parent Hermes identity. I'll merge it with the research brain identity by appending the research-specific instructions:

Assistant

Assistant

Now let me also populate the research profile's memories/USER.md with the user profile and create a placeholder file in the shared-approved directories to confirm they're writable:

Assistant

{"bytes_written": 662, "dirs_created": true, "verified": true, "lint": {"status": "skipped", "message": "No linter for .md files"}, "resolved_path": "/root/.hermes/profiles/research/memories/USER.md", "files_modified": ["/root/.hermes/profiles/research/memories/USER.md"]}

The simple YAML parser is returning a string for the gateway section instead of a dict because of the complex structure. Let me fix the simple parser — it's not handling nested dicts/lists correctly for the gateway section. The issue is that profile_routes is a list of dicts. Let me take a different approach — use grep for the gateway verification:

The simple YAML parser isn't correctly parsing the list-of-dicts for profile_routes. The grep fallback didn't trigger because the simple parser returned a non-list for profile_routes but the code path went into the else branch incorrectly. Let me check what the parser actually returns:

The issue is that the simple YAML parser converts the flow-style list items ([...]) to strings instead of parsing them as dicts. The routes are on a single line as flow-style YAML.

All 19 validation checks pass. Now let me test the actual context loading by spawning a fresh research session and verifying it reads the brain index and rules:

The fresh research session successfully loaded the brain context. The agent found the brain files and confirmed the AGENTS.md context loading sequence is active. Let me also verify the SOUL.md identity is being loaded correctly and that the session is using the research profile:

Assistant

The fresh research session correctly loads:
1. SOUL.md identity (Hermes Research Brain)
2. Profile name (research)
3. Model (poolside/laguna-s-2.1:free with OpenRouter fallback)
4. Operating constraints (read-only, approval-required, grounded citations, least-privilege sharing)

Let me now verify that the android-dev and infra profiles can access their brain-shared symlinks, and confirm the gateway is running unchanged:
