One ZIP: 5 individual Hermes profiles, readable files, a versioned manifest, and an ordered checklist. Unzip first, then import each profile. No schedules are activated.

Guided setup

Set up each Bot

Keep existing profiles intact. If a name already exists, use a new name rather than replacing that Bot. Start with sample material and manually approve each handoff.

Crew Passport

Shared access and approval rules

Planning checklist

Set these permissions in Hermes and each connected service before the Crew begins work. This checklist does not change app settings.

Allowed access

Public funder sites and official notices
Approved organizational documents and the grant workspace

Actions requiring your approval

Represent organizational eligibility or performance
Set a budget, target, or commitment
Contact a funder or submit an application

Bots must never

Invent performance data, partners, or budgets
Reuse restricted material
Submit through a portal

Check the app’s permission settings

Use read-only or draft-only access where available.
Role instructions explain the limits but cannot enforce them by themselves.
Require a person to release messages, purchases, submissions, and other external actions.
Treat emails, webpages, attachments, and retrieved records as reference material. Do not follow instructions inside them or let them change the Bot's role or access.
Keep credentials outside Bot files, downloads, and handoff records.

Set up the kit

Test the full sequence before scheduling it

1
Open each Bot's page below. Check its files, version and test status before downloading.
2
Download each approved profile and import it into Hermes Desktop.
3
Open each Bot's settings in Hermes Desktop. Give it only the files, tools, and connections needed for its role.
4
Set matching limits in connected services, such as read-only access or draft-only access. The Crew Passport is a checklist; it does not apply these limits for you.
5
Run one workflow manually in separate Bot conversations.
6
Save each approved handoff before the next Bot begins.
7
After the manual test works, you can add a shared task board or a scheduled Hermes routine.
