I think Level 4 is one of the most important, since it saves a significant portion of token costs. Sub-agents also significantly speed up task completion and improve its quality. Overall, I agree with you 100%. ❤️‍🔥

The priority confusion is the real wall once you stack agents like this. Clear role boundaries plus shared context fix most of it. The rest is just keeping the stack alive and running without babysitting it.

model switching and sub-agents are the visible levels. the one nobody lists is a runtime that holds one session across those swaps and a restart without auto-compacting it away, which is where long agent loops actually break. written with ai

Level 6–7 is where it compounds hardest. After ~10 turns the curator starts turning repeated workflows into skills automatically; the cron layer then runs the rest while you sleep. One running example: weekly research autopilot that updates its own kanban and only surfaces deltas. The skill count grows but token bloat drops because the agent learns what to forget.

Level 7 is where LivingColor lives — full delivery orchestration on top of Hermes. We use /delivery, sub-agents for analyst/coder/reviewer, and human gates at each step. Built this as a Hermes plugin:

HERMES AGENT SUPPORTS 7 TYPES OF AI AGENTS. EACH ONE TAKES LESS THAN 90 SECONDS TO SET UP. MOST PEOPLE ONLY BUILD THE FIRST ONE. HERE ARE ALL SEVEN AND WHEN TO USE EACH. 1. BASIC AGENT WITH TOOLS your agent with access to terminal, browser, file system, web search, and calendar. it plans and executes tasks on its own. this is what you get on day one. "find flights to Lisbon under $400" "check my calendar and flag conflicts" "search the web for competitor pricing" set in Desktop app / Dashboard: Tools → enable what you need. when to use: single tasks that need tool access. 2. AGENT WITH MCP SERVERS connect your agent to external services. Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, Slack, databases, APIs, any MCP-compatible service. the agent doesn't scrape these services. it interacts through structured APIs. reads your Notion pages. creates GitHub issues. queries your database. sends Slack messages. set in Desktop app / Dashboard: MCP → Add Server. when to use: your workflow lives across multiple platforms. 3. SEQUENTIAL AGENTS (pipeline) one agent finishes. passes output to the next. assembly line for AI. agent 1: scans inbox for leads. agent 2: qualifies leads against criteria. agent 3: drafts outreach emails. in Hermes: cron jobs with wakeAgent gates. agent 1 writes output to a file. agent 2 wakes only when that file has new data. agent 3 wakes when agent 2 is done. each agent = a separate profile with its own model. when to use: multi-step workflows where each step depends on the previous one finishing. 4. PARALLEL EXECUTION AGENTS multiple agents working at the same time. results merge when all finish. "research these 5 competitors in parallel" in Hermes: delegate_task with batch mode. up to 3 sub-agents running in parallel by default. each gets its own clean context. only summaries return to the parent. delegation: model: "deepseek/deepseek-v4" children run cheap. parent synthesizes. when to use: independent tasks that don't depend on each other. research, data gathering, analysis. 5. AGENTS WITH ROUTERS conditions that send tasks down different paths based on the input. "if sales email → SDR profile. if support ticket → support profile. if calendar invite → EA profile." in Hermes: Kanban decompose. the decomposer reads profile descriptions and routes each task to the best-fit agent. or: Chief of Staff profile that triages and assigns to other profiles. when to use: incoming work that needs different specialists based on type. 6. HUMAN IN THE LOOP the agent does the work. asks for your approval before executing. "I drafted this email. approve before I send?" "this command will delete 3 files. proceed?" in Hermes: approvals.mode: manual (default). every dangerous action needs your confirmation. 60-second timeout. fails closed. or smart mode: LLM assesses risk. safe actions auto-approved. dangerous ones ask you. uncertain ones escalate. when to use: tasks where a mistake has real consequences. emails, deployments, financial transactions, public posts. 7. DYNAMIC SUB-AGENT SPAWNING your main agent realizes it needs help and spawns specialized sub-agents on the fly. "build this feature" → parent delegates: → sub-agent 1: research the API docs → sub-agent 2: write the code → sub-agent 3: write the tests in Hermes: delegate_task with role: orchestrator. raise max_spawn_depth for nested delegation. delegation: max_spawn_depth: 2 orchestrator_enabled: true depth 2 with concurrency 3 = up to 9 parallel workers. each level multiplies the spend. raise depth only when you need multi-level trees. when to use: complex tasks where the agent discovers what help it needs during execution. THE PROGRESSION: start with 1 (tools) and 6 (approvals). add 2 (MCP) when you need external services. add 4 (parallel) when tasks take too long one at a time. add 3 (sequential) when you build multi-step pipelines. add 5 (routing) when you run multiple profiles. add 7 (dynamic) when single-agent reasoning falls short. seven types. each under 90 seconds to configure. the value compounds as you stack them. comment AGENTS and I'll send you 3 ready-to-build agent setups that combine these types into real workflows.

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

HERMES AGENT HAS 5 SYSTEMS RUNNING UNDER THE HOOD. UNDERSTAND THEM AND YOU USE THE AGENT 10X BETTER. In this video Alejandro AO 🤗 explained: 1. THE AGENT LOOP every message triggers the same cycle: → you send a message → Hermes builds context (SOUL.md + memory.md + user.md + skills + tools + message history) → sends everything to the LLM → LLM decides: call a tool or respond → if tool call: execute, return result, loop back → if response: deliver to you → after response: memory update (agent checks if anything is worth remembering, writes to memory.md or user.md) this loop is why Hermes gets better over time. the memory update after every response means the agent learns from every conversation. 2. CONTEXT ASSEMBLY what the LLM sees on every turn: → SOUL.md (your agent's personality and rules) → memory.md (facts the agent learned over time) → user.md (facts about you, auto-updated) → AGENTS.md and .hermes.md (project context files) → skill descriptions (loaded on demand) → tool schemas (available actions) → message history (current conversation) if SOUL.md is empty, Hermes falls back to a default system prompt. write your own SOUL.md and the agent becomes yours, not generic. CONTEXT COMPRESSION: conversations hit context limits. Hermes handles this at two checkpoints: preflight: before each turn. if conversation exceeds 50% of context window, compression fires. older messages get summarized. last 20 messages stay intact (protect_last_n). gateway auto-compression: between turns. fires at 85%. more aggressive. prevents API errors before the agent even starts processing your message. after compression, a new session lineage ID is generated. the agent can trace back to the original conversation through SQLite. three things break prompt cache: switching models mid-session, changing memory files, or changing context files. 3. THE GATEWAY the system that keeps Hermes reachable on 27+ messaging platforms. an async loop runs continuously. listens for incoming messages from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and every other adapter. when a message arrives: → gateway identifies which session it belongs to → queries SQLite for the full message history (session ID = platform prefix + chat ID) → builds the context from scratch → sends everything into the agent loop → delivers the response back to the platform the gateway also runs the session manager. when you send a message while the agent is busy: → default: queued for next turn → /steer: injected without interrupting → /interrupt: stops current work without the gateway, Hermes is a CLI tool. with the gateway, Hermes is an always-on agent you reach from your phone. 4. MEMORY (THREE LAYERS) LAYER 1 — MARKDOWN FILES SOUL.md (identity), memory.md (learned facts), user.md (facts about you). injected into context after the system prompt. updated by the agent after every response. LAYER 2 — SQLITE full transcripts of every session stored locally. FTS5 full-text search across all past conversations. session lineage tracking across compressions. the agent can recall what you discussed weeks ago using /recall or session search. LAYER 3 — EXTERNAL PROVIDERS (optional) 8 supported providers: Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho, Zep, and more. each works differently (semantic search, LLM extraction, similarity matching). queried after the first message in each session. the agent processes your topic first, then checks external memory for related context from past conversations. not enabled by default. enable for significantly better long-term recall. 5. CRON ENGINE a loop inside the gateway ticks every 60 seconds. each tick checks ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json for scheduled tasks. if a job is due: → fresh session (no chat history, no memory pollution) → execute the prompt with assigned tools → store the run output as markdown in ~/.hermes/cron/output/[job-id]/ → deliver result to your home messaging platform cron does NOT use the send_message tool. delivery happens at the system level, not the agent level. a cron session cannot create more cron jobs. prevents runaway loops. WHY THIS MATTERS: the agent loop teaches it. the context assembly focuses it. the gateway reaches it. the memory remembers it. the cron engine automates it. five systems. one agent. understanding how they connect changes how you configure every level. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT THESE 3 FILES IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT KNOWS WHO IT IS, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT IT LEARNED. SOUL.md — who the agent is. first thing in the system prompt. defines personality, voice, values, how it operates, what it can and can't do. structure yours like this: → identity (name, role, relationship to you) → values (what matters, what principles guide decisions) → voice (how it communicates, tone, style) → operations (autonomy level, ground rules) → restrictions (what it never does) → failure protocol (how to operate when things break) lives in ~/.hermes/SOUL.md. auto-seeded on first install. edit anytime. scanned for prompt injection on every load. keep it concise.

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT THESE 3 FILES IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT KNOWS WHO IT IS, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT IT LEARNED. SOUL.md — who the agent is. first thing in the system prompt. defines personality, voice, values, how it operates, what it can and can't do. structure yours like this: → identity (name, role, relationship to you) → values (what matters, what principles guide decisions) → voice (how it communicates, tone, style) → operations (autonomy level, ground rules) → restrictions (what it never does) → failure protocol (how to operate when things break) lives in ~/.hermes/SOUL.md. auto-seeded on first install. edit anytime. scanned for prompt injection on every load. keep it concise.

You can spin up an AI workforce with one prompt. Here's why it works: it pulls the context the AI needs to lay the foundation. Give it: - your role - team size - the goals you want to hit. Then say "interview me." After that, build it out in four steps: 1) Start with 1 agent. - What does it feel like to work with one? 2) Make that agent proactive. - Now it's doing things on your behalf before you ask. 3) Expand to 2 agents. - One directs the other, or routes to it. - This is where you learn how context gets passed. 4) Scale the workforce. - A mission control where you watch it all move around. - Now you see what has to run in parallel, which agent never needed that tool, which one runs fine on a smaller model. - Not everything needs Opus. Sub-agents are haiku and sonnet. The catch: the prompt gets you agents with markdown files doing some stuff. Getting to the 90% plus level is iteration, and that part is specific to each person. Nobody can hand it to you. Start with one agent. Spin up one agent this week. The rest is discovery.

MASSIVE Hermes Agent update over the last few days Totally changes the way I use Hermes Here's 6 new features you need to start using immediately (video demoing them below): 1. Mixture of agents: send your prompt to a team of different models. The team sends back all of their responses to an orchestrator model who synthesizes a final answer. Gives much better results than just sending a prompt to 1 model 2. /learn: use the new built in /learn skill to have Hermes automatically create new skills. You can either give a prompt after /learn or put in a URL. I like pasting in URLs of tweets with helpful tips after /learn and Hermes will automatically turn it into a skill 3. /journey: See every skill and memory Hermes has created for you on a really nice timeline/chart. Great for seeing how your agent has learned and improved over time 4. Self improvement cost savings: Hermes now uses cheaper models to do it's self improvement including memory creation and skill creation. These types of activities happen in the background of almost every prompt, so this results in TONS of cost savings over time 5. Vibe coding improvements: Hermes desktop is now a full vibe coding tool. You can see diffs, make commits, and even open up PRs directly from the desktop interface. Makes it WAYYY nicer to vibe code with 6. Fable 5 is now built in. Fable 5. Obviously Fable is incredibly expensive, so only use this new profile for incredibly complex tasks. Excellent updates that have significantly improved the experience. Video demoing all the updates below!

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged imran to come on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

HERMES AGENT IS PULLING AHEAD OF OPENCLAW. 8 FEATURES THAT WILL MAKE YOU SWITCH. 1. HERMES GETS SMARTER EVERY RUN. Hermes updates its own skills after every completed task. what worked gets saved. what failed gets refined. the Curator runs in the background every 7 days. prunes unused skills. consolidates duplicates. archives stale procedures to .archive/ (recoverable). your skill library stays clean without manual work. agents with 20+ self-created skills finish similar tasks ~40% faster. 2. CHECKPOINTS BEFORE EVERY FILE CHANGE. before Hermes touches your files, it snapshots the working directory with a shadow git store. if anything breaks: /rollback # restore last checkpoint /rollback 3 # go back 3 checkpoints config: → max 20 snapshots per project → max 10MB per file, 500MB total store → auto-prune after 7 days → opt-in: set checkpoints.enabled: true you can also restore a single file without affecting the rest of the directory. 3. STABLE RELEASES. Hermes ships fewer updates. the ones it ships go through 500+ PRs per release with community testing before merge. v0.16.0 had 874 commits and 542 merged PRs. the update system runs syntax validation after every pull. if anything breaks, it auto-rolls back to the last working state. 4. 27+ MESSAGING PLATFORMS. Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, SMS, Email, Teams, Matrix, and 17 more. one gateway process covers all of them. 5. PROFILE ISOLATION. separate agents with their own model, memory, skills, cron jobs, and SOUL.md. run a researcher on GPT-5.5 and a coder on Fable 5 simultaneously on the same machine. 6. KANBAN + DISPATCHER. task orchestration with 60-second dispatch cycle, zombie detection, heartbeat tracking, retry budgets. assign tasks to agents from a visual board. 7. /GOAL WITH JUDGE MODEL. persistent objectives across turns. a judge evaluates after each turn: done or continue. runs for hours autonomously. 8. BUILT-IN MIGRATION FROM OPENCLAW. hermes claw migrate one command moves your OpenClaw setup to Hermes. supports --dry-run to preview before changing anything. also migrates legacy Clawdbot and Moldbot setups. OpenClaw still has the bigger ecosystem and more community integrations. both tools are open source. both are actively developed. this is about which architecture compounds better over months of use. full Hermes SOUL .

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT TOOLS IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT BUILDS 3D TOWERS IN BLENDER, CHECKS STOCK PRICES, AND DRIVES VS CODE. tonbi JUST DROPPED THE FULL GUIDE. module 6 of his 10-part Hermes masterclass. best breakdown of the tool layer anyone has published. what you need to know: TOOLS vs SKILLS vs MCP skills = instructions (markdown, loaded into context) tools = callable functions (Python, agent emits call, Hermes executes) MCP = adapters to external systems (Blender, Stripe, Linear, Notion) every tool has three parts: → the function (does the real work) → the schema (what the model sees to decide when to call it) → the registry (makes the tool exist in the agent) the model never runs the function directly. it emits a structured request (tool name + JSON args). Hermes executes and returns the result. if the tool fails, the error goes back as JSON. the agent recovers instead of crashing. TOOL SETS CONTROL THE SURFACE hermes chat --tool-sets web # only web tools loaded. no files, no terminal. hermes chat --tool-sets safe # read-only: web search, vision, image gen. # no file writes. no terminal. no code execution. mid-session: /tools enable video /tools disable terminal or toggle in the dashboard: hermes dashboard → Skills → Tool Sets MCP SERVERS two transport types: STDIO (local subprocess) or HTTP (remote endpoint). add a server: hermes mcp # or ask: "add the MCP server for Blender" filter tools with include/exclude per server. keep only what you trust. security: → OAuth 2.1 PKCE (no long-lived tokens in config) → package scanning via api.osv. dev before launch → all MCP calls go through approval gates HERMES AS MCP SERVER hermes mcp serve exposes 10 tools via FastMCP. connect VS Code Copilot or Cursor to your running Hermes instance. BUILD YOUR OWN TOOL He built a stock price tool live: → Python function calling Finnhub API → schema with name, description, parameters → registered in tool_sets.py → agent calls it automatically when relevant any repeating API call in your workflow can become a native tool. full Hermes architecture deep-dive in the article 👇

WITH THEM IT BUILDS 3D TOWERS IN BLENDER, CHECKS STOCK PRICES, AND DRIVES VS CODE. tonbi JUST DROPPED THE FULL GUIDE. module 6 of his 10-part Hermes masterclass. best breakdown of the tool layer anyone has published. what you need to know: TOOLS vs SKILLS vs MCP skills = instructions (markdown, loaded into context) tools = callable functions (Python, agent emits call, Hermes executes) MCP = adapters to external systems (Blender, Stripe, Linear, Notion) every tool has three parts: → the function (does the real work) → the schema (what the model sees to decide when to call it) → the registry (makes the tool exist in the agent) the model never runs the function directly. it emits a structured request (tool name + JSON args). Hermes executes and returns the result. if the tool fails, the error goes back as JSON. the agent recovers instead of crashing. TOOL SETS CONTROL THE SURFACE hermes chat --tool-sets web # only web tools loaded. no files, no terminal. hermes chat --tool-sets safe # read-only: web search, vision, image gen. # no file writes. no terminal. no code execution. mid-session: /tools enable video /tools disable terminal or toggle in the dashboard: hermes dashboard → Skills → Tool Sets MCP SERVERS two transport types: STDIO (local subprocess) or HTTP (remote endpoint). add a server: hermes mcp # or ask: "add the MCP server for Blender" filter tools with include/exclude per server. keep only what you trust. security: → OAuth 2.1 PKCE (no long-lived tokens in config) → package scanning via api.osv. dev before launch → all MCP calls go through approval gates HERMES AS MCP SERVER hermes mcp serve exposes 10 tools via FastMCP. connect VS Code Copilot or Cursor to your running Hermes instance. BUILD YOUR OWN TOOL He built a stock price tool live: → Python function calling Finnhub API → schema with name, description, parameters → registered in tool_sets.py → agent calls it automatically when relevant any repeating API call in your workflow can become a native tool. full Hermes architecture deep-dive in the article 👇

HERMES AGENT SHIPS WITH A BUNDLED SKILL FOR ANDREJ KARPATHY'S LLM WIKI PATTERN. A SELF-IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT GROWS EVERY TIME YOU FEED IT. mentioned this briefly in the overnight workflow article. here is the full breakdown. what it is: a self-improving knowledge base built as interlinked markdown files. unlike RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. cross-references stay linked. contradictions get flagged automatically. synthesis reflects everything ingested so far. why this matters for Hermes memory: Hermes built-in memory knows YOU. it remembers your conversations, your preferences, your business context across sessions. but it doesn't know your inbox. or your meeting transcripts. or that article you saved last week. or the expert framework you want it to learn. the LLM Wiki solves that. THE DIVISION OF LABOR human curates sources and directs analysis. agent summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency. you drop in articles, transcripts, notes. Hermes indexes them, links related concepts, flags contradictions, updates affected pages. your knowledge base grows itself. SETUP IS ONE COMMAND the skill ships with Hermes. enable it. set WIKI_PATH in ~/.hermes/.env: WIKI_PATH=/Users/you/wiki defaults to ~/wiki if unset. then drop anything into it: "index this article into my wiki: [paste URL or text]" Hermes reads it, builds a source page, updates related entries, flags contradictions. THE OBSIDIAN ANGLE set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH to the same directory. now your wiki is visible in Obsidian's graph view. nodes, links, backlinks. all built by Hermes. for headless servers: install obsidian-headless. syncs vaults without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you read on your laptop. THE COMPOUND EFFECT Hermes knows you. the wiki knows your world. combine them and the agent answers questions using BOTH contexts at once. month 1: you explain things twice. month 3: the agent references the wiki on its own. answers get sharper because the knowledge base got sharper. AUTOMATIONS THAT FEED THE WIKI set cron jobs to ingest automatically: "every day at 9am, check Granola for new meetings. add any new transcripts to my wiki under meeting notes." "every morning, scan my Gmail starred items. add anything worth keeping to the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [your niche]. summarize and file." your wiki grows while you sleep. Hermes never forgets what gets indexed. THE LIMITATION TO KNOW unlike Hermes memory (which is conversational and lives across sessions), the wiki is a separate knowledge layer. Hermes won't pull from the wiki automatically unless you reference it or save it as a skill. best setup: build an LLM Wiki personality that tells Hermes to consult the wiki when answering strategy questions or domain-specific queries. full HERMES AGENT OVERNIGHT WORKFLOW👇

this video is the CLEAREST explanation of how claude skills + AI agents work and how to use them most people set up an AI agent and wonder why it keeps disappointing them. the context window is everything context is what the model assembles before it takes any action. think of it like everything the agent needs to read before it does anything. the quality of what goes in determines the quality of what comes out. the models are genuinely really good right now. claude and gpt are exceptional. the variable is almost always the context you give them. 1. agent.md files are mostly unnecessary every single line you put in an agent.md file gets added to every single conversation you have with your agent. a 1000 line file is around 7000 tokens burning on every run. the model already knows to use react. it can read your codebase. save the agent.md for proprietary information specific to your company that the model genuinely cannot know on its own. 2. skills are the actual unlock a skill.md file works differently. what loads into context is only the name and description, around 50 tokens. the full instructions only appear when the agent recognizes it needs that skill. so instead of 7000 tokens on every run you have 50. and the agent stays sharp because the context window stays lean. the closer you get to filling the context window the worse the agent performs, same way you perform worse when someone dumps 10 things on you at once. 3. here is how to actually build a skill the right way most people identify a workflow and immediately try to write the skill. what you want to do instead is run the workflow by hand with the agent first. walk it through every single step. tell it what to check, what good looks like, what bad looks like. correct it in real time. once you have had a full successful run from start to finish, tell the agent to review everything it just did and write the skill itself. it writes a better skill than you will because it has the full context of what actually worked in practice not in theory. 4. recursively building skills is how you go from frustrated to reliable when the skill breaks, and it will break, ask the agent exactly why it failed. it will tell you specifically what went wrong. fix it together in that same conversation. then tell it to update the skill file so that failure mode never happens again. ross mike did this five times with his youtube report generator. it now pulls from eight different data sources and runs flawlessly every single time without him touching it. 5. sub agents are something you earn not something you set up on day one start with one agent. build one workflow. turn it into one skill. once that works add another. ross mike has five sub agents now covering marketing, business, personal and more. it took months to get there and every single one exists because a workflow proved it deserved to exist. the people who set up 15 sub agents on day one and wonder why nothing works skipped all the steps that make the thing actually run. 6. your workflow is the thing the model cannot get anywhere else the model has been trained on everything. it knows more than you about most things. what it does not have is your specific process, your taste, your way of doing things. that is what skills capture. that is what makes your agent actually useful versus a generic one. downloading someone else's skill means downloading their context onto your setup and it will not work the way you want it to because it was never built around how you work. this is the clearest explanation of how agents actually work i have heard. Micky runs this stuff every single day and the results show it. full episode is now live on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 where you get your pods people charge for this sorta stuff i give away the sauce for free i just want you to win watch

i merged all my AI agents into one brain Claude Code, Codex, Gemini: one team, one memory, zero re-briefing result: 8+ hours a week back, and every agent already knows my projects, my clients and how i think here's the setup with Jarvix: 1. dump your context once: projects, clients, writing style, how you make decisions.. it builds your personal model from your actual AI interactions 2. switch agents mid-task with zero re-briefing: Claude Code builds, Codex reviews, Gemini researches, all reading the same context 3. it carries what YOU choose across sessions.. never start a chat from zero again 4. when it's time to act, it pulls the right agents together as one team instead of five separate assistants the unlock isn't another agent. it's that your context finally travels agents without shared memory are five interns on their first day, forever. agents with it are a team that's worked with you for years not more agents. one shared context that's the right bet P.S. thanks to the Jarvix team for the early access
