SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Illusory Script provides a mechanism for audience-gated or self-expiring content: burn-after-reading notes, scoped links, ephemeral secrets, and documents that should only mean something to the right reader in the right context. The pattern blends social navigation with security mechanics to control visibility and lifetime in Hermes workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audience gating for messages and documents
  • Self-expiring content with configurable lifetime
  • Scoped links and ephemeral secrets for controlled sharing
  • Integration as a procedural pattern within Hermes agent sessions for coordination and handoffs

Quick Start

Invoke illusory-script to gate content for a targeted audience and configure expiration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make ephemeral content that expires after a set time window?

Audience-gated content restricts message visibility to specified recipients, ensuring only authorized readers can access the material. It blends social navigation with security mechanics to control who sees what within coordination workflows.

Can I create burn-after-reading notes for controlled sharing?

Scoped links restrict content visibility to a targeted audience and expire access after a defined window. They work within Hermes agent sessions to coordinate handoffs and gate ephemeral secrets during multi-step workflows.

What's the best way to gate document visibility for a specific audience?

No external dependencies are required to implement audience-gated or self-expiring content. The pattern operates as a procedural mechanism within Hermes agent sessions, requiring only audience specification and expiry timing configuration.

Does this ephemeral messaging pattern track residual access risk?

Self-expiring content is not suited for permanent records or long-term document retention. Use ephemeral gating only for temporary coordination, scoped links, and burn-after-reading secrets where content lifetime must be explicitly limited.
