Implementation notes
- Use this Guides & Tutorials doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
- Primary decision areas: Installation, Basic Usage, Full Conversation Control, Configuring Tools, Multi-turn Conversations. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
- Useful search signals for this doc: python, library, tool., import, directly. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.
Decision table
Use when you need orientation for using hermes as a python library before applying exact upstream commands.
Open the source anchor for Installation and confirm platform-specific requirements before changing configuration.
Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.
Verification checklist
- Use this page to orient yourself within Guides & Tutorials, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
- Start with the source section for Installation; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
- Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
- Review the source section for Basic Usage if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
- After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.
Risk notes
Start with a bounded dry run, logs, and a manual stop path before enabling recurring or unattended execution.
Keep human review before sending public posts, customer messages, trading instructions, or team notifications.
Check filesystem, shell, browser, repository, and server permissions before granting the agent write access.
