# Keep a home renovation organized

Designed for: Households comparing quotes and tracking renovation decisions

Result: A decision list, quote comparison and sequence of work with unresolved dependencies marked.

## Try a sample first

Illustrative example, not a recorded Bot run. This adaptation has not been runtime-tested.

### Complete first request

Organize the supplied renovation notes into decisions, dependencies and a quote comparison. Flag exclusions and uncertain dates. Do not treat the plan as professional design or safety approval Use only the records I supply. Label missing or uncertain information. Do not connect accounts, browse, send, submit, publish, spend money or create a schedule. Return a draft for my review.

Fictional notes. Q1: cabinets $4,000, installation excluded, delivery date unknown. Q2: cabinets plus installation $5,500, delivery estimated November 10. N1: installer needs final measurements before ordering. Measurements have not been checked.

### Example result

Q1 and Q2 are not like-for-like: installation is excluded from Q1. Confirm measurements first, obtain Q1's installation cost, then compare totals. November 10 is an estimate, not a confirmed work date. Do not order or book installers yet.

### Check the answer

- Preserve the different quote scopes.
- Put verified measurements before ordering.
- Do not book work or claim the plan meets building requirements.

## Operating guide

- **When to use it:** Use this workflow when you need a decision list, quote comparison and sequence of work with unresolved dependencies marked.
- **Lead Bot:** Planner
- **Cadence:** When a person supplies the approved brief and starts the workflow
- **Typical first run:** 15–30 minutes for a first manual run

Message to send:

Use the approved inputs I provide. Organize the supplied renovation notes into decisions, dependencies and a quote comparison. Flag exclusions and uncertain dates.

Ask me about missing information before you continue.

## Overall request

Organize the supplied renovation notes into decisions, dependencies and a quote comparison. Flag exclusions and uncertain dates. Do not treat the plan as professional design or safety approval Use only the records I supply. Label missing or uncertain information. Do not connect accounts, browse, send, submit, publish, spend money or create a schedule. Return a draft for my review.

## Decisions for a person

- Check the result against the supplied records
- Approve any account connection, schedule or outside action separately
- Review anything before it is sent, submitted, purchased or published

## First test

Preserve the different quote scopes. Put verified measurements before ordering. Do not book work or claim the plan meets building requirements.

## Success checkpoint

Check the result against your original material. You make the decisions listed below. Preserve the different quote scopes. Put verified measurements before ordering. Do not book work or claim the plan meets building requirements.

## If the workflow stalls

If the result is incomplete, mark the missing information and ask the same Bot to correct it. Add another Bot only when a genuinely separate role or independent check would help.

## Hermes Desktop setup

1. Open the linked Bot's page, download its .tar.gz profile, and import it from the Profiles screen in Hermes Desktop.
2. Review the profile's SOUL.md, Bot Passport, and requested access.
3. Run the complete request in that Bot's chat with low-risk material and review the result.
4. Add a schedule, outside connection, or optional specialist only after the manual version works.
