SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the complexity of standing up and wiring a self-hosted Hermes Agent by guiding an AI agent through the full deployment lifecycle over SSH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-End Deployment: Installs Hermes, configures the model provider, sets up platform access, and enables autostart on a remote VPS.
  • Operational Wiring: Connects memory, personality, home channel settings, and curated starter skills so the agent is immediately usable.
  • Safety and Recovery: Uses dry-run previewing, idempotent steps, rollback guidance, and verification checks to reduce deployment risk.
  • Use Case: A user wants Claude Code, Cursor, or another coding agent to provision a ready-to-use Hermes instance on their server with Telegram or another platform connected.

Quick Start
