SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you perform production-grade, live operations on Hermes Agent (Zeus/Atena) in the MGS VPS without relying on memory, while minimizing disruption to gateways, credentials, and OAuth/provider configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe Hermes upgrades with verification: performs pre-checks, controlled update execution, and mandatory post-update validation to confirm upstream state, service health, local patch compatibility, and targeted smoke checks.
  • Web tooling and provider readiness checks: inspects Hermes toolsets/MCP and validates web search/extract provider behavior in the live environment (including deterministic Brave Search probing) to reduce uncertainty versus browser automation.
  • Provider/model and OpenAI Codex OAuth operations: supports switching providers/models, authenticating OpenAI Codex via OAuth, copying credentials to Zeus/Atena profiles, auditing cron migration/cost policy, and enforcing “zero Anthropic/Claude by default” governance.

Quick Start

Use this Skill to validate whether a Hermes update already completed safely and the live Zeus/Atena gateways are operational by asking: "Rodolfo already ran the Hermes update—run the post-update verification and report services, upstream commit status, patch compatibility, and the key provider/OAuth audit results."

Frequently Asked Questions about hermes-agent-operations

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform a safe Hermes Agent update on a live VPS?▼

To perform a safe Hermes Agent update on a live VPS, execute pre-checks, run the controlled update, and validate systemd service health, upstream commit status, and patch compatibility to ensure no operational disruption.

How does OAuth Codex authentication work for Zeus and Atena profiles?▼

OAuth Codex authentication for Zeus and Atena profiles works by securely authenticating OpenAI Codex via OAuth and copying credentials to the respective profiles, enforcing zero Anthropic or Claude usage by default for cost governance.

Can I validate web search and extract providers without browser automation in Hermes?▼

Yes, you can validate Hermes web search and extract providers without browser automation by running deterministic Brave Search probing and inspecting Hermes toolsets and MCP readiness directly in the live environment.

What is a post-migration audit for Zeus and Atena operational regressions?▼

A post-migration audit for Zeus and Atena operational regressions is a read-only discovery process that validates gateway behavior, checks systemd service health, and enforces cost policy to ensure post-migration stability.

Does gateway validation require stopping the Hermes systemd service?▼

Gateway validation does not require stopping the Hermes systemd service; the process enforces strict safety requirements including read-only discovery against live state and targeted smoke tests to prevent disruption.

What are the limitations when switching Hermes providers and models live?▼

When switching Hermes providers and models live, limitations include the strict enforcement of no credential or token leakage and the requirement to verify patch compatibility and systemd service health before and after the switch.
