The terminal-native autonomous agent with persistent memory, messaging gateways, and cron automation. Hermes runs fleets of agents (profiles) — each profile gets its own skills and SOUL.md.
WHERE SKILLS LIVE
~/.config/hermes/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md (shared) or ~/.config/hermes/profiles/<profile>/skills/ (per-agent)HOW THEY TRIGGER
Description-triggered, like Claude Code — and every skill automatically becomes a slash command (/skill-name).
RUNNING IT UNATTENDED
Native cron — config.yaml jobs or hermes cron add
Any interval you like, including sub-hourly, but the jobs only fire while Hermes is running — install it as a service (hermes gateway install) and give it a host that stays awake. In exchange it is the only one of the three that can hold your API keys locally.
WITH YOUR LAPTOP CLOSED
Only with a host that stays up
