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 👇

HERMES AGENT NOW HAS BOT MODE. YOUR AGENT PROFILES BECOME A ROSTER OF NAMED BOTS. EACH WITH ITS OWN CHAT, AVATAR, AND PERSONALITY. THEY MESSAGE EACH OTHER. sessions mode: you open chats. you manage profiles. you switch between agents manually. bot mode: a roster of bots in the sidebar. click one. you're in its chat. each bot has a name, an avatar, a description, its own memory, skills, and SOUL.md. they can talk to each other. WHAT YOU GET: BOTS PANE: left sidebar shows every agent profile as a bot. avatar, latest message preview, timestamp. click a bot to open its chat. no profile switching. CREATE A BOT: name, title, description. done. advanced: clone from existing profile, pin a model, write SOUL.md, toggle skills. EDIT ANY TIME: right-click a bot. change avatar, title, description. edit its model, skills, toolsets, and SOUL.md live. DUPLICATE: right-click. full clone. config, skills, SOUL.md, memory. everything. AVATARS: geometric faces (7 shapes, 10 colors, blinking eyes that scan while the bot works). upload your own image. or AI-generated portrait (when image backend is set). pixel pet companion bounces beside the avatar while the bot is busy. ROUTINES: recurring tasks per bot. backed by Hermes cron. "summarize my inbox every morning" lives next to the bot that does it. runs land in the bot's own chat history. BOT-TO-BOT MESSAGING: every bot has a persistent Agent Inbox. bots message each other with attribution: "[Message from agent 'researcher']" their SOUL.md teaches them the protocol. including how to reply. @ MENTIONS: type @ researcher in any chat. the active bot hands the message off. waits for the reply. reports back. "@ researcher have a look at this" → researcher reads the message → researcher responds → active bot delivers the response to you HOW IT WORKS UNDER THE HOOD: a bot IS a Hermes profile. isolated config, memory, skills, credentials. lives at ~/.hermes/profiles/ / bot mode is a UI over that primitive. no core patches. no background daemons. no extra storage. everything is standard Hermes. bot-to-bot messages = real CLI handoffs: hermes -p chat -c "Agent Inbox" -q "..." routines = plain Hermes cron jobs namespaced [bot: ] . show up in hermes cron list too. INSTALL: git clone ~/.hermes/desktop-plugins/hermes-bots reload plugins: Ctrl+K → "Reload desktop plugins" or restart the app. a Bots tab appears next to Sessions. a Routines tile docks beside the conversation. PUBLIC BETA: this is a one-day public beta test. install it. try it. report bugs. feedback goes to the GitHub repo. then it ships in the main Desktop app for everyone. P.S. If you noticed there is a pet of Rebecca from cyberpunk edgerunners will soon finish and drop a set of characters. Any fans of Cyberpunk in Hermes community?)

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. SOUL.md injects into every turn. a 200-line soul burns tokens on every message. aim for 50-80 lines. one paragraph per section. MEMORY.md — what the agent remembers. persistent facts, insights, preferences. survives across sessions and restarts. capped at ~800 tokens by default: memory: memory_char_limit: 2200 the agent writes to this automatically as it learns about your work. USER.md — who you are. your profile, preferences, context. capped at ~500 tokens by default: memory: user_char_limit: 1375 injected every turn so the agent always knows who it's working for. bonus: AGENTS.md — project-specific instructions. drop one in any project folder. subdirectory AGENTS.md files load lazily during tool calls, not at startup. keeps your system prompt light. prompt stack order on every turn: SOUL.md → tool guidance → MEMORY.md + USER.md → skills index → AGENTS.md → platform hints skills come preloaded. 60+ built-in tools. the agent creates more skills from completed work. you focus on these 3 files. each profile gets its own copy: ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (default profile) ~/.hermes/profiles/researcher/SOUL.md ~/.hermes/profiles/ops/SOUL.md different agent, different soul, different memory, same machine. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

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 just left the terminal. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗽 dropped yesterday. native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. for months Hermes was the agent that learned your projects, wrote its own skills, and built a model of who you are. all of it buried in terminal logs. now it has a window. the important part is that it's not a wrapper. it runs the same agent core, the same sessions, memory, and skills as the CLI. you can start a task in the terminal and finish it in the app without anything resetting. the state is shared across every interface, not copied between them. what the GUI actually adds: → streaming chat that shows live tool calls and inline reasoning instead of a spinner → a preview rail that renders pages, code, and images right beside the conversation → an artifacts panel that collects every file the agent has ever produced → remote gateway mode, so you can point the app at a VPS and run the heavy work elsewhere → skills, cron, profiles, and gateways managed point-and-click instead of through YAML → voice mode, drag-drop files, and inline image generation remote gateway mode is the one worth slowing down on. the agent runs 24/7 on a $5 server while you control it from your laptop like a local app. other agent UIs are chatboxes with a logo. this one shows the autonomy instead of hiding it, so you watch the skills load, the tools fire, and the artifacts pile up as it works. it was teased in Jensen's GTC keynote. MIT licensed, local-first, no telemetry. if you already run Hermes, download it and everything is already there. your chats, memory, and skills carry straight over. i wrote a full masterclass on Hermes Agent that walks through the SOUL. md identity layer, the three-tier memory system, the self-evolving skills loop, and how to run three specialized agents 24/7. desktop is the interface that finally does all of it justice. the article is quoted below.

HERMES AGENT CAN RUN YOUR SEO. CONNECT IT TO GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE AND GOOGLE ANALYTICS. IT MONITORS, REPORTS, AND WRITES CONTENT BASED ON YOUR ACTUAL DATA. stop paying an SEO agency. stop doing the tedious work yourself. Hermes handles it 24/7. WHAT THE SEO AGENT DOES: → pulls clicks, impressions, CTR, and position data from Google Search Console automatically → tracks traffic, user behavior, and conversions from Google Analytics → checks which pages are indexed and which are not → submits sitemaps for indexing → inspects URLs for crawl or indexing issues → identifies ranking drops and keyword opportunities → writes content based on what your data says works → generates weekly SEO performance reports → delivers everything to Telegram CONNECT GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE: two paths: 1. COMPOSIO (managed, easiest): paste this into Hermes chat: https:// composio. dev/hermes or add to config.yaml: mcp_servers: composio: url: "https:// connect.composio. dev /mcp" headers: x-consumer-api-key: "YOUR_COMPOSIO_API_KEY" Hermes prompts you to authenticate. one OAuth flow. done. 2. CLAWLINK (one-click): 9 Google Search Console tools exposed via MCP. hosted auth. nothing to run or maintain. paste the install prompt into Hermes chat. CONNECT GOOGLE ANALYTICS: same Composio setup. one MCP endpoint handles both Search Console and Analytics. authenticate once. both data sources available. your agent can now query: → search analytics (clicks, impressions, CTR, position) → traffic by source and landing page → user behavior and conversions → indexing status for any URL → sitemap status WHAT TO AUTOMATE WITH CRON: weekly SEO report (Monday 8am): "pull search analytics for last 7 days. compare vs previous week. flag any keyword that dropped more than 5 positions. flag any page that lost more than 20% clicks. deliver report to Telegram." daily indexing check (6am): "check if any new pages are not indexed. if found, submit sitemap and report to Telegram." wakeAgent gate: skip if all pages indexed. content opportunity scan (weekly): "find queries where my site appears on page 2 (positions 11-20) with high impressions. these are the keywords one good article could push to page 1. deliver list to Telegram with suggested topics." CONTENT WRITING FROM YOUR DATA: the difference between generic SEO content and content that ranks: your agent has your Search Console data. "write a blog post targeting [keyword]. my current position is 14 with 2,400 monthly impressions. check what pages currently rank 1-3 for this keyword. write something better. include the gaps they miss." the agent researches competitors via Firecrawl, checks your existing content in the wiki, and drafts based on real data. not guesswork. WHAT THIS REPLACES: → SEO agency: $1,000-5,000/month → SEO tool subscriptions: $100-300/month → manual reporting: 3-5 hours/week → manual content research: 2-4 hours/week Hermes SEO agent: one profile with two MCPs. cron jobs handle the monitoring. you handle the decisions. SETUP IN 10 MINUTES: 1. create a profile: hermes profile create seo-agent 2. write SOUL.md: "you are an SEO specialist. monitor search performance daily. flag ranking drops and opportunities. write content based on Search Console data. weekly report every Monday." 3. connect Google Search Console + Analytics via Composio or ClawLink 4. set cron jobs (weekly report, daily index check, content opportunity scan) 5. set model: DeepSeek V4 for routine monitoring. Sonnet for content writing. 6. connect to Telegram for delivery. the agent runs. you review reports. rankings improve because you stopped guessing and started using your own data. comment HERMES and I'll send you the full setup guide for running Hermes Agent as your SEO specialist. full Hermes architecture deep-dive in the article 👇
