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 + 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 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 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👇

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.

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
