SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up the Hermes agent harness on Windows involves fragile PATH wiring, partner CLI detection (Hermes, Codex, AGY, cursor-agent), and ECC installation validation that often fails silently or gets misconfigured. ## Core Features & Use Cases - PATH and Partner CLI Wiring: Probes node, npm, git, cursor-agent, and Hermes before adding PATH shims via ensure-partner-cli-paths.ps1 and start.ps1. - ECC Install and Validation: Runs idempotent ECC installation with a minimal profile and doctor checks to confirm correct setup. - Persona and Wrapper Materialization: Refreshes Hermes thin skill wrappers and installs agent profiles from the registry. - Use Case: When bringing up a new Windows machine for Hermes-based agent work, run this playbook to verify every tool is wired, install missing ECC components, and sync Cursor MCP configuration. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the Windows Hermes setup procedure to probe partner CLIs, validate ECC with doctor, and report which paths are wired or missing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Hermes on Windows?

Probe node, npm, git, cursor-agent, and Hermes first, then run platform/windows/ensure-partner-cli-paths.ps1 to wire PATH entries. If ECC is not validated, run install.ps1 with the hermes target and minimal profile, then run the doctor check.

How do I validate ECC installation for Hermes?

Run the ECC doctor command after installing with the minimal profile to confirm the wiring is correct. The setup procedure treats doctor validation as the gate before refreshing thin wrappers and materializing agent personas.

Does Hermes setup work with cursor-agent on Windows?

Yes, cursor-agent is one of the probed partner CLIs, and the procedure includes syncing Cursor MCP configuration via sync-cursor-mcp.sh. Windows setups route MCP through port 1234.

Why is my Hermes partner CLI not found on Windows?

The CLI is likely missing from PATH or not installed. The procedure probes each tool before adding PATH shims, so rerun ensure-partner-cli-paths.ps1 and confirm start.ps1 sources it, then check the factual wired or not-wired status output.

What are Hermes thin skill wrappers?

Thin wrappers are lightweight Hermes-local skill stubs that point to the canonical command cards in the orama-system repository. They are refreshed using install_hermes_thin_skills.py with the install and verify flags.
