What problem does it solve?

You need a reliable way to set up, extend, and operate Hermes Agent in order to run an AI agent that can use tools, remember across sessions, and manage skills without getting stuck on configuration or workflow details.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end setup & troubleshooting: install Hermes, verify dependencies, and use health/config checks when something breaks.
  • CLI and operational commands: quickly chat, run one-shot queries, run setup wizards, inspect configuration, and manage sessions.
  • Skill management for extensibility: preload, install, inspect, search, update, and publish skills so the agent can build reusable capabilities over time.
  • Multi-platform gateway operations: run and manage the messaging gateway across supported platforms (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc.) from the same system.
  • Developer workflows: spawn additional agent instances, coordinate work, and understand key paths for skills, sessions, logs, and credentials.

Quick Start

Install Hermes with the provided install script, then run the interactive terminal agent using the command hermes.
