Setup guide

Cash flow forecasting without the Friday scramble - on Hermes

The $19 Cash Flow Forecast Agent runs on Hermes as three plain-text files: set it up once in your Hermes workspace, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Cash Flow Forecast Agent does

On Hermes, this agent's files and outputs stay entirely on your machine. It rolls your approved receivable, payable and planned cash rows into a transparent 13-week forecast: week, opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the assumption behind each line.

The 13-week forecast lives in one person's spreadsheet, updated by hand, and every board ask means a late night re-checking which rows are current.

Where the three files go in 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 a run looks like on Hermes

A run looks like this: you ask Hermes to run cash-flow-forecasting with this run's inputs, and it works through the workspace skill. The output - it rolls your approved receivable, payable and planned cash rows into a transparent 13-week forecast: week, opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the assumption behind each line - is written to your own workspace for review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Place skill.md in your Hermes workspace as the standing skill for the job (for example: cash flow forecasting).
  2. Run setup-prompt.txt; the agent runs cash-flow-forecasting on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Hermes is local-first and open-source, so the prompts, files and outputs stay under your control.
  4. Trigger each real run with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; the workspace persists between asks.

Honest limits on Hermes

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.
