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 8+ 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:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002F\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL

Reusing one bot\u002Fprofile is possible for lightweight behavior switching, but not ideal for truly separate agent identity\u002Fconfiguration.\n\nUse `--clone` rather than `--clone-all` when you want the new agent to inherit base config\u002FAPI keys but start with fresh memory and sessions.\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## Hermes adoption \u002F setup audit pattern\n\nWhen a user asks what recent Hermes capabilities they should adopt, do a setup audit rather than only summarizing release notes.\n\n1. **Load this skill and verify live state.** Use `date`, `hermes update --check`, `hermes --version`, `hermes status --all`, `hermes doctor`, `hermes config check`, `hermes profile list`, `hermes tools list`, `hermes plugins list`, `hermes cron list --all`, `hermes webhook list`, and `hermes sessions stats` as applicable. For profile-specific audits, run the same checks through the profile alias or `HERMES_PROFILE=\u003Cname>`.\n2. **Inspect local customization surfaces.** Check profiles, enabled plugins, hooks, cron jobs, webhooks, MCP servers, skills, LaunchAgents\u002Fservices, source repo diff, and any scripts under `$HERMES_HOME\u002Fscripts`. Secret-bearing files may be inspected only with strict redaction.\n3. **Compare new capabilities to local overrides.** Specifically consider whether built-ins now cover local scripts\u002Fhooks: config migration, curator, disk cleanup, persistent goals, kanban, cron `workdir`\u002F`script`\u002F`context_from`, webhook `deliver-only`, fallback providers, observability plugins, browser CDP, and bundled platform\u002Fmedia\u002Fimage\u002Fmemory plugins.\n4. **Protect upgrade safety.** Prefer config\u002Fprofile\u002Fplugin\u002Fhook\u002Fskill changes over direct edits in the Hermes source checkout. If local source diffs exist, call them out and recommend moving durable behavior to upgrade-safe surfaces.\n5. **Report adoption sequence.** Separate current state, newly relevant capabilities, local custom functionality to keep\u002Freplace\u002Fclean up, and concrete next steps. Include caveats if command outputs were unavailable\u002Fcompacted. Never report secret values.\n\nReference: `references\u002Fhermes-adoption-audit-aaron-2026-05.md` contains a concrete Aaron-specific audit checklist and v0.12-era capability map.\nReference: `references\u002Fauxiliary-goal-judge-kimi.md` captures the session-derived provider-routing pitfall for setting the goal judge to Kimi K2.6 via OpenRouter vs native Kimi.\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. Restart gateway: `\u002Frestart`\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. `\u002Freset` after enabling tools\n\n### Model\u002Fprovider issues\n1. `hermes doctor` — check config and dependencies\n2. `hermes login` — re-authenticate OAuth providers\n3. Check `.env` has the right API key\n\n### Changes not taking effect\n- **Tools\u002Fskills:** `\u002Freset` starts a new session with updated toolset\n- **Config changes:** `\u002Frestart` reloads gateway config\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: `\u002Fskill name` or `hermes -s name`\n\n### Gateway issues\nCheck logs first:\n```bash\ngrep -i \"failed to send\\|error\" ~\u002F.hermes\u002Flogs\u002Fgateway.log | tail -20\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:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fconfiguration) |\n| Available tools | `hermes tools list` or [Tools reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Ftools-reference) |\n| Slash commands | `\u002Fhelp` in session or [Slash commands reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fslash-commands) |\n| Skills catalog | `hermes skills browse` or [Skills catalog](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fskills-catalog) |\n| Provider setup | `hermes model` or [Providers guide](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fintegrations\u002Fproviders) |\n| Platform setup | `hermes gateway setup` or [Messaging docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fmessaging\u002F) |\n| MCP servers | `hermes mcp list` or [MCP guide](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fmcp) |\n| Profiles | `hermes profile list` or [Profiles docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fprofiles) |\n| Cron jobs | `hermes cron list` or [Cron docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fcron) |\n| Memory | `hermes memory status` or [Memory docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fmemory) |\n| Env variables | `hermes config env-path` or [Env vars reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fenvironment-variables) |\n| CLI commands | `hermes --help` or [CLI reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fcli-commands) |\n| Gateway logs | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Flogs\u002Fgateway.log` |\n| Session files | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Fsessions\u002F` or `hermes sessions browse` |\n| Source code | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Fhermes-agent\u002F` |\n\n---\n\n## Contributor Quick Reference\n\nFor occasional contributors and PR authors.

Create `tools\u002Fyour_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 import** in `model_tools.py` → `_discover_tools()` list.\n\n**3. Add to `toolsets.py`** → `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` list.\n\nAll handlers must return JSON strings. Use `get_hermes_home()` for paths, never hardcode `~\u002F.hermes`.\n\n### Adding a Slash Command\n\n1. Add `CommandDef` to `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli\u002Fcommands.py`\n2. Add handler in `cli.py` → `process_command()`\n3. (Optional) Add gateway handler in `gateway\u002Frun.py`\n4. Add\u002Fadjust tests for the shared registry surfaces in `tests\u002Fhermes_cli\u002Ftest_commands.py`\n\nAll consumers (help text, autocomplete, Telegram menu, Slack mapping) derive from the central registry automatically.\n\n**Important experiential note:** if a command already has dedicated CLI\u002Fgateway handling but is missing from `COMMAND_REGISTRY`, it can still appear to “work” in narrow paths while being absent from shared surfaces like `resolve_command()`, `GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS`, gateway help, Telegram bot commands, and Slack mappings. When adopting or adding a slash command, verify both the implementation path **and** the central registry entry.\n\n### Agent Loop (High Level)\n\n```\nrun_conversation():\n  1. Build system prompt\n  2. Loop while iterations \u003C 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\nsource venv\u002Fbin\u002Factivate  # or .venv\u002Fbin\u002Factivate\npython -m pytest tests\u002F -o 'addopts=' -q   # Full suite\npython -m pytest tests\u002Ftools\u002F -q            # Specific area\n```\n\n- Tests auto-redirect `HERMES_HOME` to temp dirs — never touch real `~\u002F.hermes\u002F`\n- Run full suite before pushing any change\n- Use `-o 'addopts='` to clear any baked-in pytest flags\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","# Hermes Agent\n\nHermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework by Nous Research that runs in your terminal, messaging platforms, and IDEs. 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 8+ 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:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002F\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL

Config Sections\n\nEdit with `hermes config edit` or `hermes config set section.key value`.\n\n| Section | Key options |\n|---------|-------------|\n| `model` | `default`, `provider`, `base_url`, `api_key`, `context_length` |\n| `agent` | `max_turns` (90), `tool_use_enforcement` |\n| `terminal` | `backend` (local\u002Fdocker\u002Fssh\u002Fmodal), `cwd`, `timeout` (180) |\n| `compression` | `enabled`, `threshold` (0.50), `target_ratio` (0.20) |\n| `auxiliary` | per-task side-model routing such as `vision`, `web_extract`, `compression`, `session_search`, `title_generation`, `curator`, and

task key `goal_judge` even if that key is not present in default `config.yaml`. Set it with normal auxiliary routing keys:\n\n```bash\nhermes config set auxiliary.goal_judge.provider \u003Cprovider>\nhermes config set auxiliary.goal_judge.model \u003Cmodel>\nhermes config check\n```\n\nAaron's current preferred goal judge route is OpenAI Codex mini:\n\n```bash\nhermes config set auxiliary.goal_judge.provider openai-codex\nhermes config set auxiliary.goal_judge.model gpt-5.4-mini\n```\n\nRestart the gateway or start a new Hermes session for config changes to affect running agents.\n\n### Providers\n\n18 providers supported. Set via `hermes model` or `hermes setup`.\n\n| Provider | Auth | Key env var |\n|----------|------|-------------|\n| OpenRouter | API key | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` |\n| Anthropic | API key | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` |\n| Nous Portal | OAuth | `hermes login --provider nous` |\n| OpenAI Codex | OAuth | `hermes login --provider openai-codex` |\n| GitHub Copilot | Token | `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` |\n| DeepSeek | API key | `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` |\n| Hugging Face | Token | `HF_TOKEN` |\n| Z.AI \u002F GLM | API key | `GLM_API_KEY` |\n| MiniMax | API key | `MINIMAX_API_KEY` |\n| Kimi \u002F Moonshot | API key | `KIMI_API_KEY` |\n| Alibaba \u002F DashScope | API key | `DASHSCOPE_API_KEY` |\n| Kilo Code | API key | `KILOCODE_API_KEY` |\n| Custom endpoint | Config | `model.base_url` + `model.api_key` in config.yaml |\n\nPlus: AI Gateway, OpenCode Zen, OpenCode Go, MiniMax CN, GitHub Copilot ACP.\n\nFull provider docs: https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fintegrations\u002Fproviders\n\n### Toolsets\n\nEnable\u002Fdisable via `hermes tools` (interactive) or `hermes tools enable\u002Fdisable NAME`.\n\n| Toolset | What it provides |\n|---------|-----------------|\n| `web` | Web search and content extraction |\n| `browser` | Browser automation (Browserbase, Camofox, or local Chromium) |\n| `terminal` | Shell commands and process management |\n| `file` | File read\u002Fwrite\u002Fsearch\u002Fpatch |\n| `code_execution` | Sandboxed Python execution |\n| `vision` | Image analysis |\n| `image_gen` | AI image generation |\n| `tts` | Text-to-speech |\n| `skills` | Skill browsing and management |\n| `memory` | Persistent cross-session memory |\n| `session_search` | Search past conversations |\n| `delegation` | Subagent task delegation |\n| `cronjob` | Scheduled task management |\n| `clarify` | Ask user clarifying questions |\n| `moa` | Mixture of Agents (off by default) |\n| `homeassistant` | Smart home control (off by default) |\n\nTool changes take effect on `\u002Freset` (new session). They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\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`\n\nConfig:\n```yaml\nstt:\n  enabled: true\n  provider: local        # local, groq, openai\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| Kokoro (local) | None | Free |\n| Fish Audio | `FISH_AUDIO_API_KEY` | Free tier |\n\nVoice commands: `\u002Fvoice on` (voice-to-voice), `\u002Fvoice tts` (always voice), `\u002Fvoice 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\u002Fdays |\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 ~\u002Fresearch\u002Fgrpo.md'\", timeout=300)\n\n# Background for long tasks:\nterminal(command=\"hermes chat -q 'Set up CI\u002FCD for ~\u002Fmyapp'\", 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 '\u002Fexit' 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### Channel-Bound Specialized Agents (Discord\u002FTelegram\u002FSlack)\n\nIf the user wants a dedicated agent for a specific Discord channel, Telegram chat, or Slack channel — e.g. a writing bot that lives only in `#writing-agent` — the robust pattern is:\n\n1. **Create a separate Hermes profile** for that agent:\n   ```bash\n   hermes profile create writing --clone\n   ```\n2. **Create a separate bot\u002Fapp\u002Ftoken** for that profile on the messaging platform.\n3. **Run a separate gateway instance under that profile**:\n   ```bash\n   writing gateway run\n   ```\n4. **Invite that bot only to the target channel\u002Fchat**.\n\nWhy this pattern:\n- Profiles isolate config, memory, sessions, skills, and system prompt.\n- Messaging platform tokens are exclusive per running profile; two profiles should not share the same bot token.\n- Hermes already isolates conversations by chat\u002Fthread, but it does **not** provide a first-class built-in \"route this channel to a different agent config inside one shared bot\" layer. Reusing one bot\u002Fprofile is possible for lightweight behavior switching, but not ideal for truly separate agent identity\u002Fconfiguration.\n\nUse `--clone` rather than `--clone-all` when you want the new agent to inherit base config\u002FAPI keys but start with fresh memory and sessions.\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## Hermes adoption \u002F setup audit pattern\n\nWhen a user asks what recent Hermes capabilities they should adopt, do a setup audit rather than only summarizing release notes.\n\n1. **Load this skill and verify live state.** Use `date`, `hermes update --check`, `hermes --version`, `hermes status --all`, `hermes doctor`, `hermes config check`, `hermes profile list`, `hermes tools list`, `hermes plugins list`, `hermes cron list --all`, `hermes webhook list`, and `hermes sessions stats` as applicable. For profile-specific audits, run the same checks through the profile alias or `HERMES_PROFILE=\u003Cname>`.\n2. **Inspect local customization surfaces.** Check profiles, enabled plugins, hooks, cron jobs, webhooks, MCP servers, skills, LaunchAgents\u002Fservices, source repo diff, and any scripts under `$HERMES_HOME\u002Fscripts`. Secret-bearing files may be inspected only with strict redaction.\n3. **Compare new capabilities to local overrides.** Specifically consider whether built-ins now cover local scripts\u002Fhooks: config migration, curator, disk cleanup, persistent goals, kanban, cron `workdir`\u002F`script`\u002F`context_from`, webhook `deliver-only`, fallback providers, observability plugins, browser CDP, and bundled platform\u002Fmedia\u002Fimage\u002Fmemory plugins.\n4. **Protect upgrade safety.** Prefer config\u002Fprofile\u002Fplugin\u002Fhook\u002Fskill changes over direct edits in the Hermes source checkout. If local source diffs exist, call them out and recommend moving durable behavior to upgrade-safe surfaces.\n5. **Report adoption sequence.** Separate current state, newly relevant capabilities, local custom functionality to keep\u002Freplace\u002Fclean up, and concrete next steps. Include caveats if command outputs were unavailable\u002Fcompacted. Never report secret values.\n\nReference: `references\u002Fhermes-adoption-audit-aaron-2026-05.md` contains a concrete Aaron-specific audit checklist and v0.12-era capability map.\nReference: `references\u002Fauxiliary-goal-judge-kimi.md` captures the session-derived provider-routing pitfall for setting the goal judge to Kimi K2.6 via OpenRouter vs native Kimi.\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. Restart gateway: `\u002Frestart`\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. `\u002Freset` after enabling tools\n\n### Model\u002Fprovider issues\n1. `hermes doctor` — check config and dependencies\n2. `hermes login` — re-authenticate OAuth providers\n3. Check `.env` has the right API key\n\n### Changes not taking effect\n- **Tools\u002Fskills:** `\u002Freset` starts a new session with updated toolset\n- **Config changes:** `\u002Frestart` reloads gateway config\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: `\u002Fskill name` or `hermes -s name`\n\n### Gateway issues\nCheck logs first:\n```bash\ngrep -i \"failed to send\\|error\" ~\u002F.hermes\u002Flogs\u002Fgateway.log | tail -20\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:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fconfiguration) |\n| Available tools | `hermes tools list` or [Tools reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Ftools-reference) |\n| Slash commands | `\u002Fhelp` in session or [Slash commands reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fslash-commands) |\n| Skills catalog | `hermes skills browse` or [Skills catalog](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fskills-catalog) |\n| Provider setup | `hermes model` or [Providers guide](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fintegrations\u002Fproviders) |\n| Platform setup | `hermes gateway setup` or [Messaging docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fmessaging\u002F) |\n| MCP servers | `hermes mcp list` or [MCP guide](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fmcp) |\n| Profiles | `hermes profile list` or [Profiles docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Fprofiles) |\n| Cron jobs | `hermes cron list` or [Cron docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fcron) |\n| Memory | `hermes memory status` or [Memory docs](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Fuser-guide\u002Ffeatures\u002Fmemory) |\n| Env variables | `hermes config env-path` or [Env vars reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fenvironment-variables) |\n| CLI commands | `hermes --help` or [CLI reference](https:\u002F\u002Fhermes-agent.nousresearch.com\u002Fdocs\u002Freference\u002Fcli-commands) |\n| Gateway logs | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Flogs\u002Fgateway.log` |\n| Session files | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Fsessions\u002F` or `hermes sessions browse` |\n| Source code | `~\u002F.hermes\u002Fhermes-agent\u002F` |\n\n---\n\n## Contributor Quick Reference\n\nFor occasional contributors and PR authors.

Create `tools\u002Fyour_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 import** in `model_tools.py` → `_discover_tools()` list.\n\n**3. Add to `toolsets.py`** → `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` list.\n\nAll handlers must return JSON strings. Use `get_hermes_home()` for paths, never hardcode `~\u002F.hermes`.\n\n### Adding a Slash Command\n\n1. Add `CommandDef` to `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli\u002Fcommands.py`\n2. Add handler in `cli.py` → `process_command()`\n3. (Optional) Add gateway handler in `gateway\u002Frun.py`\n4. Add\u002Fadjust tests for the shared registry surfaces in `tests\u002Fhermes_cli\u002Ftest_commands.py`\n\nAll consumers (help text, autocomplete, Telegram menu, Slack mapping) derive from the central registry automatically.\n\n**Important experiential note:** if a command already has dedicated CLI\u002Fgateway handling but is missing from `COMMAND_REGISTRY`, it can still appear to “work” in narrow paths while being absent from shared surfaces like `resolve_command()`, `GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS`, gateway help, Telegram bot commands, and Slack mappings. When adopting or adding a slash command, verify both the implementation path **and** the central registry entry.\n\n### Agent Loop (High Level)\n\n```\nrun_conversation():\n  1.
