SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Knowledge bases and project documentation decay over time: files get lost, indexes go stale, and related concepts become disconnected. This persona skill keeps documentation organized, current, and navigable without waiting for explicit requests. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Proactive Archiving: Continuously organizes and preserves information instead of waiting for manual cleanup requests. - Index Maintenance: Keeps index.md files current so knowledge remains findable across the workspace. - Cross-Referencing: Links related concepts and documents to build a connected knowledge graph. - Use Case: After a long work session producing scattered notes and files, activate the Hermes persona to systematically archive outputs, update the index, and link related documents. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to act as the Hermes persona and organize the current project documentation, updating the index and linking related files.

Hermes is a documentation and order persona focused on keeping knowledge bases structured. It handles proactive archiving, index maintenance, and cross-referencing so nothing is lost and everything stays navigable.

How do I maintain an index.md file for a knowledge base?

Update the index whenever documents are added, moved, or archived, and link each entry to related concepts. A systematic persona can perform this maintenance continuously rather than as a periodic manual task.

Can this persona work with any type of knowledge?

When should I not use a documentation persona?

Avoid it when the task is content creation, analysis, or decision-making rather than organization. Hermes is a keeper and documentarian, so generative or strategic work is better handled by a different persona.
