How to use Hermes day to day

Giving tasks. Chat in plain English in the app, terminal, or Telegram. Say the goal, the sources, and when to stop.

Approving actions. When a dangerous command needs you, Hermes asks. On Telegram, Discord, and Slack, you get buttons. You have 300 seconds by default before it times out.

Scheduled jobs. Ask: "Every Monday at 9 AM, ..." Hermes can create, pause, edit, run, and remove jobs when you ask. Results come back to your chat.

Memory. Hermes keeps two small files: MEMORY.md (its notes) and USER.md (your preferences). They're stored in ~/.hermes/memories/. You can open and edit them.

Skills. Skills are saved how-to guides. Hermes comes with a bundled set and creates new ones after hard tasks. Browse with /skills.

Stopping and correcting.

• Stop: Ctrl+C in the terminal, or /stop in chat.
• Undo or retry the last turn: /undo or /retry.
• Start fresh: /new or /reset.
• Switch models: /model.
• Fix problems: hermes doctor.
