What problem does it solve?
When a Hermes Agent deployment misbehaves—gateway going offline, cron jobs not firing, profiles clashing, or tools and skills failing to load—this Skill gives an agent a disciplined check-diagnose-fix-verify workflow instead of guesswork or blind reinstalls.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Troubleshooting Workflow: A six-step process covering problem scoping, status collection, root-cause analysis, repair, verification, and reporting.
- Command Reference: Curated Hermes CLI commands for health checks, config migration, gateway control, profiles, skills/tools, cron, auth, and memory.
- Layered Root-Cause Order: Checks configuration first, then service processes, then auth/external dependencies, and only lastly source code or platform adapters.
- Use Case: A user reports that a messaging platform stopped receiving messages after an upgrade. The agent runs
hermes status --all, hermes doctor, and hermes gateway status, identifies a config migration gap, runs hermes config migrate, restarts the gateway, and verifies recovery.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to run a Hermes health check and diagnose why the gateway keeps disconnecting, following the check-diagnose-fix-verify workflow.
