System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the risk and manual effort from upgrading a self-hosted Hermes agent on a remote VPS, so you can move to a new version without breaking the gateway or losing wiring.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SSH-first upgrade workflow: Runs the entire update on the VPS, not on the local machine, which fits remote production deployments.
  • Backup and rollback safety: Creates a backup before changing anything and provides a recovery path if the update fails.
  • Post-update verification: Rechecks the gateway, smoke tests agent responsiveness, and compares wired MCP/platform lists after the bump.
  • Use case: When a new Hermes release is available, use this Skill to pin the target version, reload the gateway correctly, and confirm every integration still works.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to update the Hermes agent on your VPS to the target version, back it up first, reload the gateway, and verify that all wired platforms still respond.
