Overview
Hermes runs around a selected model and gives that model an operating context. The model interprets instructions and reasons about the task. Hermes supplies the mechanisms needed to act:
- A machine or server on which the agent can remain available.
- Gateways that accept messages from desktop, mobile, and team channels.
- Tool access for controlling the computer and external applications.
- Identity files that shape tone, purpose, and behavior.
- Memory that preserves useful information across sessions.
- Skills that package repeatable procedures.
- Cron jobs and goal loops that continue work without repeated prompting.
- Project-management integration that exposes what the agent is doing.
Because Hermes is model agnostic, the harness can use different models for different jobs rather than tying the entire system to one provider. The model can change while the surrounding identity, memory, skills, tools, and workflows remain the operating foundation.
