Setup guide

Sales outreach drafted from evidence, not templates - on Hermes

The $19 Outreach 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 Outreach Agent does

On Hermes, this agent's files and outputs stay entirely on your machine. It drafts evidence-based first-touch emails for your approved leads, each showing the evidence it used, with a CTA and an approval status. Then it waits for your go.

First-touch emails are either personalized and slow or fast and generic. The rep who researches every prospect sends ten a day. The rep who does not, gets ignored.

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 sales-outreach with this run's inputs, and it works through the workspace skill. The output - it drafts evidence-based first-touch emails for your approved leads, each showing the evidence it used, with a cta and an approval status - 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: sales outreach).
  2. Run setup-prompt.txt; the agent runs sales-outreach 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.
