What problem does it solve?
Helps developers and operators understand, configure, and troubleshoot the Hermes Agent so it runs reliably across CLI, gateway, and scheduled (cron) contexts. It converts scattered implementation details—memory layout, skill authoring rules, tool discovery, and scheduler behavior—into actionable guidance so issues are diagnosed and fixed faster.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architecture & Memory: Explains Hermes's dual-store memory model (memory vs user), where those files live, and how Honcho integration persists profiles.
- Skills & Tooling: Describes the SKILL.md structure, skill loading locations, and how skills auto-register as slash commands; includes how tools and MCP servers are discovered and filtered.
- Cron & Scheduler: Details scheduler tick behavior, delivery targets, job storage, and common failure modes (missed ticks, provider fallbacks).
- Use Case: Use when writing a new Hermes skill, diagnosing cron jobs that never fire, or auditing why a tool is unavailable in a gateway session.
Quick Start
Ask the hermes skill to explain why a cron job did not run and what files, scheduler settings, and gateway processes to inspect.
