What these rules can and cannot prevent
    Download this Bot Passport (Markdown)
    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 three approved source documents to create a one-page narrative brief and mark every unsupported claim.

    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.
