What Hermes is
Hermes Agent is Nous Research's open-source personal AI agent - a desktop app for macOS and Windows (and an Android app) designed as an agent that grows with you, with files and memory you control.
How the three files work with Hermes
Give Hermes the three files in its workspace: skill.md becomes the standing skill, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Because Hermes is open-source and local-first, your prompts and outputs stay under your control.
What to check first
Hermes is a young, fast-moving open-source project. Expect rough edges, and verify its current file-handling in its own docs before a big setup.
Whatever assistant you use: every agent proves itself on fictional sample data before it touches real work, and it stops at every human decision - sending, spending, publishing, scheduling. The full method.
