Lead Bot
Professor
Typical first run
15–30 minutes for a first manual run
When to run it
When a person supplies the approved brief and starts the workflow

Use this workflow when you need a realistic study plan with approved materials, practice questions, and weekly progress checks.

Access for the first run
  • The approved inputs listed on this page
  • Only the files, sources, and services required for this run
  • No sending, publishing, spending, or live-system changes without approval
Run the first version one step at a time

Give one Bot the complete job

Use one Bot for the first run. Add a specialist only when the job becomes complicated enough to need a separate role, different access, or independent review.

Produces: A practical study plan with explanations, practice questions, and progress checks
Use the approved inputs I provide. Assess the starting point, organize the approved materials, explain key concepts, and build the weekly schedule and progress checks. Return this result: A practical study plan with explanations, practice questions, and progress checks. Ask me about missing information before you continue.

Overall request

Build a one-week study plan from the official curriculum and my available time. Include learning goals, readings, practice questions, and one progress check.

Use this as the complete first-run request.

Decisions for a person

  • Choose authoritative materials
  • Set the time commitment
  • Register for any formal examination
First test

Try the workflow with low-risk material

Plan one week of study and complete one short quiz before building the full schedule.

Check the result

Check the result against your original material. You make the decisions listed below. Plan one week of study and complete one short quiz before building the full schedule.

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.

Set it up in Hermes Desktop

Begin with one Bot and one manual run

  1. Open the linked starter 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.
