Implementation notes

  • Use this Reference 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: Global entrypoint, Global options, Top-level commands, hermes chat, hermes -z <prompt> — scripted one-shot. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: commands, reference, covers, terminal, shell.. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Best fitReference documentation

Use when you need orientation for cli commands reference before applying exact upstream commands.

Verify firstGlobal entrypoint

Open the source anchor for Global entrypoint and confirm platform-specific requirements before changing configuration.

Escalate to sourceCommands, credentials, runtime behavior

Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Reference, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for Global entrypoint; do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for Global options if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.

Risk notes

Automation

Start with a bounded dry run, logs, and a manual stop path before enabling recurring or unattended execution.

External messages

Keep human review before sending public posts, customer messages, trading instructions, or team notifications.

Model spend

Set provider, token, and retry limits before scaling the workflow beyond a single test run.

Runtime access

Check filesystem, shell, browser, repository, and server permissions before granting the agent write access.
