What the Customer Discovery Agent does

On Hermes, this agent's files and outputs stay entirely on your machine. It turns interview notes into structured evidence themes: quote, theme, contradiction and follow-up question per interview, without inventing validation.

Interview notes pile up in docs, themes stay in your head, and the next investor update says customers love it with no evidence behind it.

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 customer-discovery with this run's inputs, and it works through the workspace skill. The output - it turns interview notes into structured evidence themes: quote, theme, contradiction and follow-up question per interview, without inventing validation - 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: customer discovery).
  2. Run setup-prompt.txt; the agent runs customer-discovery 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.
