It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\n\nWhat makes Hermes different:\n\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\n\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\n\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\n\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\n\n# Interactive chat (default)\nhermes\n\n# Single query\nhermes chat -q \"What is the capital of France?\"\n\n# Setup wizard\nhermes setup\n\n# Change model/provider\nhermes model\n\n# Check health\nhermes doctor\n```\n\n---\n\n## CLI Reference\n\n### Global Flags\n\n```\nhermes [flags] [command]\n\n --version, -V Show version\n --resume, -r SESSION Resume session by ID or title\n --continue, -c [NAME] Resume by name, or most recent session\n --worktree, -w Isolated git worktree mode (parallel agents)\n --skills, -s SKILL Preload skills (comma-separate or repeat)\n --profile, -p NAME Use a named profile\n --yolo Skip dangerous command approval\n --pass-session-id Include session ID in system prompt\n```\n\nNo subcommand defaults to `chat`.\n\n### Chat\n\n```\nhermes chat [flags]\n -q, --query TEXT Single query, non-interactive\n -m, --model MODEL Model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)\n -t, --toolsets LIST Comma-separated toolsets\n --provider PROVIDER Force provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.)\n -v, --verbose Verbose output\n -Q, --quiet Suppress banner, spinner, tool previews\n --checkpoints Enable filesystem checkpoints (/rollback)\n --source TAG Session source tag (default: cli)\n```\n\n### Configuration\n\n```\nhermes setup [section] Interactive wizard (model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent)\nhermes model Interactive model/provider picker\nhermes config View current config\nhermes config edit Open config.yaml in $EDITOR\nhermes config set KEY VAL Set a config value\nhermes config path Print config.yaml path\nhermes config env-path Print .env path\nhermes config check Check for missing/outdated config\nhermes config migrate Update config with new options\nhermes login [--provider P] OAuth login (nous, openai-codex)\nhermes logout Clear stored auth\nhermes doctor [--fix] Check dependencies and config\nhermes status [--all] Show component status\n```\n\n### Tools & Skills\n\n```\nhermes tools Interactive tool enable/disable (curses UI)\nhermes tools list Show all tools and status\nhermes tools enable NAME Enable a toolset\nhermes tools disable NAME Disable a toolset\n\nhermes skills list List installed skills\nhermes skills search QUERY Search the skills hub\nhermes skills install ID Install a skill (ID can be a hub identifier OR a direct https://…/SKILL.md URL; pass --name to override when frontmatter has no name)\nhermes skills inspect ID Preview without installing\nhermes skills config Enable/disable skills per platform\nhermes skills check Check for updates\nhermes skills update Update outdated skills\nhermes skills uninstall N Remove a hub skill\nhermes skills publish PATH Publish to registry\nhermes skills browse Browse all available skills\nhermes skills tap add REPO Add a GitHub repo as skill source\n```\n\n### MCP Servers\n\n```\nhermes mcp serve Run Hermes as an MCP server\nhermes mcp add NAME Add an MCP server (--url or --command)\nhermes mcp remove NAME Remove an MCP server\nhermes mcp list List configured servers\nhermes mcp test NAME Test connection\nhermes mcp configure NAME Toggle tool selection\n```\n\n### Gateway (Messaging Platforms)\n\n```\nhermes gateway run Start gateway foreground\nhermes gateway install Install as background service\nhermes gateway start/stop Control the service\nhermes gateway restart Restart the service\nhermes gateway status Check status\nhermes gateway setup Configure platforms\n```\n\nSupported platforms: Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, SMS, Matrix, Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, BlueBubbles (iMessage), Weixin (WeChat), API Server, Webhooks. Open WebUI connects via the API Server adapter.\n\n### Platform Isolation for Multi-Instance Deployments\n\nWhen running two Hermes instances (e.g. VPS + WSL2), never configure both with the same platform credentials — a Telegram bot token or WeChat session can only be consumed by one gateway at a time.\n\nPreferred split:\n- VPS remains the sole gateway owner for WeChat and/or Telegram.\n- WSL2 skips gateway entirely; deliver results via HTTP/API back to the VPS instance, or use a separate platform (Feishu) on the WSL2 instance.\n\nThis avoids duplicate replies, race conditions on updates, and session desynchronization. Profiles do not isolate platform listeners — the gateway binding is per-process, not per-profile.\n\nPlatform docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/\n\n### Sessions\n\n```\nhermes sessions list List recent sessions\nhermes sessions browse Interactive ...[truncated 47920 chars] ## tool · 2026-07-03 05:51:21 {"output": "URL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs\n200 text/html;

Background tasks used a bare `await loop.run_in_executor(None, run_sync)` with no timeout — a hung API call or stuck tool would run forever with no user notification.\n\n2. **CancelledError not caught**: On gateway restart/shutdown, background asyncio tasks are cancelled. `asyncio.CancelledError` inherits from `BaseException` (not `Exception`), so the existing error handler never fired and the task disappeared silently.\n\n### Changes\n\n- Add the same inactivity polling loop used by regular sessions, checking `agent.get_activity_summary()` every 5s against `HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT` (default 1800s)\n- Fire a warning message at `HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT_WARNING` (default 900s)\n- On timeout, interrupt the agent and send diagnostic info to the user (timeout duration, last active tool)\n- Catch `asyncio.CancelledError` separately to send a best-effort notification on gateway shutdown\n\nNo behavioral change when background tasks complete normally.\n\n## Test plan\n\n- [ ] Run `/background` with a prompt that completes normally — verify result is still delivered\n- [ ] Run `/background` with a task likely to hang — verify warning at 15 min and timeout at 30 min\n- [ ] Restart the gateway while a `/background` task is running — verify cancellation message is sent\n- [ ] Set `HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT=0` — verify background tasks run without timeout (unlimited mode)\n\n\nURL https://api.github.com/repos/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/55038\ntitle: [Docs]: bundled hermes-agent skill says cron has a \"3-minute hard interrupt per run\" — scheduler actually uses a 600s inactivity timeout\n### Summary\n\nThe bundled `hermes-agent` skill states a cron **\"Invariant\"** that contradicts the actual scheduler code. It says each cron run has a **3-minute hard interrupt**, but the scheduler enforces an **inactivity-based** timeout with a **600s (10-minute)** default that does *not* cap a job that keeps doing work. The mismatch is misleading in opposite directions: it understates the allowed runtime (3 min vs 10 min) **and** misrepresents the mechanism (hard wall-clock kill vs inactivity watchdog).\n\n### Where\n\n`skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md` (the bundled skill), in the **Cron → Invariants** bullet:\n\n> - **Invariants:** 3-minute hard interrupt per run, `.tick.lock` file prevents duplicate ticks across processes, ...\n\n### What the code actually does\n\n`cron/scheduler.py` (the run loop) runs each job under an **inactivity** timeout, not a wall-clock cap. From the in-code comment and logic:\n\n```python\n# Run the agent with an *inactivity*-based timeout: the job can run\n# for hours if it's actively calling tools / receiving stream tokens,\n# but a hung API call or stuck tool with no activity for the configured\n# duration is caught and killed. Default 600s (10 min inactivity);\n# override via HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT env var. 0 = unlimited.\n...\n_cron_timeout = 600.0 # default when env unset\n_cron_inactivity_limit = _cron_timeout if _cron_timeout > 0 else None\n_POLL_INTERVAL = 5.0 # polls activity every 5s\n```\n\nThe loop polls the agent's activity tracker every 5s and only interrupts when there has been no activity (no tool call, API call, or stream delta) for the configured limit. So:\n\n- The default is **600s of inactivity**, not a 3-minute wall-clock cap.\n- An actively-working job (tool calls / streaming) can run **well beyond 3 minutes** — \"hours,\" per the comment.\n- It is overridable via `HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT` (and `0` = unlimited) — which the skill text doesn't mention at all.\n\n### Why it matters\n\nThe \"3-minute hard interrupt\" wording leads a reader to architect around a cap that doesn't exist — e.g. splitting a legitimately long, active job (a council turn plus parallel inspectors) into a needless multi-tick design to \"beat the 180s kill,\" when a single tick is actually fine. It also hides the real, useful knob (`HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT`).\n\n### Suggested fix\n\nReplace the invariant line with one that matches the code, e.g.:\n\n> - **Timeout:** **inactivity**-based, not a wall-clock cap — a job may run as lo\n\nURL https://api.github.com/repos/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pulls/11772\ntitle: fix(agent): heartbeat during sparse streaming to avoid cron/gateway inactivity kills\n## Summary\r\n\r\nLong-running provider streams can go many seconds without delivering a chunk (server-side buffering, slow prefill, sparse SSE). Cron (`HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT`) and the gateway (`HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT`) poll `AIAgent.get_activity_summary()` and may treat the absence of chunk-driven activity as idle, interrupting runs that are still legitimately blocked on the stream iterator.\r\n\r\nThis PR adds a **background stream heartbeat**: while a streaming iterator is active, a daemon thread periodically calls `_touch_activity()` so inactivity monitors observe continued progress even when no chunks arrive.\r\n\r\n## Changes\r\n\r\n- **`AIAgent`**: Optional `stream_heartbeat_interval` (seconds). If omitted, reads `HERMES_STREAM_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL` (default **30**); **`0` disables** the heartbeat.\r\n- **`_stream_heartbeat_scope()`**: Context manager wrapping blocking stream consumption.\r\n- **Wrapped paths**: OpenAI chat completions streaming, Anthropic `messages.stream`, Codex Responses streaming (including the `responses.create(stream=True)` fallback), and the Bedrock `converse_stream` worker wait loop.\r\n- **`cron/scheduler.py`**: When loading `config.yaml`, if the corresponding env vars are not already set, bridge `cron.idle_timeout` → `HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT` and `cron.heartbeat_interval` → `HERMES_STREAM_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL`.\r\n- **`gateway/run.py`**: On startup, bridge `agent.stream_heartbeat_interval` and top-level `cron.*` to those env vars when not already set.\r\n- **`cli-config.yaml.example`**: Document optional keys.\r\n\r\n## Tests\r\n\r\n- **Added**: `tests/run_agent/test_stream_heartbeat.py` (disabled interval + activity refresh under simulated blocking).\r\n- **Regression**: `tests/cron/test_cron_inactivity_timeout.py` (unchanged by this PR; run to ensure cron inactivity polling still behaves).\r\n\r\n## How to verify\r\n\r\n```bash\r\npytest tests/run_agent/test_stream_heartbeat.py tests/cron/test_cron_inactivity_timeout.py -q -o addopts=\n\nURL https://api.github.com/repos/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/6839\ntitle: Feature: Lazy Tool Schema Loading — Two-Pass Tool Injection to Reduce Token Overhead\n## Problem\n\nEvery API call injects full tool schemas for ALL enabled toolsets. With 50+ tools across terminal, file, web, browser, delegate, vision, memory, and more, this consumes ~3,500-5,000 tokens per call — regardless of whether the conversation needs those tools.\n\nOn local models, tool-formatted prompts are 10x slower to process than plain text (benchmarked: 1,230 tok/s vs 134 tok/s with 8 tools — see #5544). Even on cloud providers, this is wasted tokens at scale.\n\nFor simple conversational turns (\"hi\", \"what model are you using?\"), the model doesn't need to know about browser_click or web_crawl or delegate_task. But it gets all of them anyway.\n\n## Proposed Solution\n\nTwo-pass lazy tool loading:\n\n**Pass 1 (every call):** Send tool names + one-line descriptions only (~300-500 tokens vs ~4,000)\n**Pass 2 (on demand):** When the model picks a tool, send the full schema in a follow-up call\n\n### Flow:\n1. User sends message\n2. Hermes sends system prompt + conversation history + ABBREVIATED tool list (name + 1-line description)\n3. Model either:\n a.
