SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure and manage the in-project Hermit agent by consolidating model, channels, budgets, routines, and behavior into a single, maintainable settings interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • View and modify hermit configuration for a project, including model, channels, budget prompts, morning brief, heartbeat, routines, idle behavior, compaction thresholds, Docker packages, and unattended mode.
  • Manage per-channel settings such as enabled state, morning brief schedule, and allowed users, with changes taking effect on the next startup.
  • Update global operational policies (heartbeat, idle behavior, permissions, and scheduled checks) and persist them to the configuration file for consistent long-running agent behavior.

Quick Start

Open the Hermit Settings by running /claude-code-hermit:hermit-settings to view and adjust this project's configuration.
