How do I generate a markdown plan from current task context?▼

To generate a markdown plan, invoke plan mode to automatically extract context and create a structured document. The plan is saved to the workspace under .hermes/plans/ with a timestamped filename.

What is the best way to automate planning documents for feature work?▼

Automating planning documents is done by invoking plan mode, which drafts a concise markdown outline from active context. This removes manual drafting effort and saves the final plan to .hermes/plans/.

Does planning mode execute code or modify files outside the plan path?▼

Planning mode enforces read-only behavior and does not execute code or modify files outside the plan path. It uses read-only context when necessary and only saves the final markdown plan under .hermes/plans/.

How are markdown plan files named when saved to a Hermes workspace?▼

Markdown plan files are saved with a deterministic timestamped filename. The format follows .hermes/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS-<slug>.md to ensure chronological organization.
