Twenty out-of-the-box Hermes Agent workflows worth building, stealing, or remixing — from research murder boards and competitor autopsies to release managers, RSS filters, and a Blender scene renderer. The point isn't the model, it's the operating layer around it.
Why a SOUL.md is an operating contract, not a personality hack — plus a sanitized, copy-paste template you can adapt to make your Hermes Agent behave like an operator instead of a chatbot.
Hermes Dreaming is a staged, artifact-first self-improvement engine for Hermes Agent. It proposes changes as reviewable artifacts you can diff, validate, apply, or discard — turning self-improvement into a receipt trail instead of silent mutation.
A hands-on walkthrough of Hermes Desktop — the native Electron app that wraps the full Hermes Agent runtime. Same config, keys, sessions, skills, and memory as the CLI and TUI, with a real settings UI, live tool output, a file browser, voice mode, and remote-backend support.
One agent is the wrong unit once work grows teeth. This field manual shows how to use Hermes Kanban — boards, tasks, claims, blocks, schedules, and receipts — to give long-running multi-agent work durable coordination that survives a dead shell.
Most AI memory is a sticky note. This flow breaks down an 11-layer context architecture for Hermes Agent — identity, facts, procedures, session archives, compression, and scheduled routines — and the distinctions that decide whether your agent actually remembers how you work.
Why a single 170-line markdown file — not a secret model or magic framework — is what makes a Hermes Agent push back, hold you accountable, and act like an operator instead of a chatbot.
A no-nonsense rundown of the real Hermes configuration that moves the needle — identity, memory, profiles, cron, gateway, MCP, skills, context files, delegation, and plugins. Real config keys and commands only, no made-up env vars.
A Hermes-native, local-first credential broker, scanner, and encrypted vault — keep your agent's secrets and API keys safe instead of scattered in plaintext.
Hermes-native local-first credential broker, scanner, and encrypted vault.
A GPT-style chat front end wired to Hermes Agent — talk to your agent through a familiar conversational UI.
ChatGPT with keys to your machine. What could go wrong?
A local-first bridge that speaks the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol, letting your Hermes Agent talk to other agents over the HTTP+JSON subset.
Thin local-first bridge that lets Hermes Agent call other agents (and be one too) — HTTP+JSON, text & data parts, SSE streaming, durable replay. A2A-shaped, not A2A-conformant. Honest, not incomplete.
