Set it up in Hermes Desktop

Import the profile and run one small test

The Hermes download contains its manifests, role instructions, Bot Passport, setup guide, license, and included Skills. The ZIP contains the same files for inspection.

  1. 1
    Download the Hermes profile.

    Import the .tar.gz archive from the Profiles screen, or copy the terminal command above.

  2. 2
    Review the imported profile.

    Read README.md and SOUL.md, then confirm the name, description, and standing instructions.

  3. 3
    Choose the access it needs.

    Add only the skills, tools, and connections required for this job.

  4. 4
    Run the named first test.

    Use one current, low-stakes decision to compare two options and define one reversible next step.

  5. 5
    Keep proof.

    Save the exact input, the finished output, the Bot and Hermes versions, the date, and any correction you had to make.

  6. 6
    Test one failure.

    Remove a required input or deny an optional connection. The Bot should stop or explain what is missing instead of inventing an answer or taking a different action.

  7. 7
    Repeat before automating.

    Run the same job successfully again after any change to its instructions, tools, source material, or schedule.
