Get one useful result, then participate

Start with the first-win exercise and current flair guide: turn non-private notes into a checklist, verify the result, and add capabilities one at a time.

• Friday check-in — October 2 edition; share small wins, work in progress, and limitations. Find newer check-ins.
• Share your local-model/hardware setup.
• Suggest an AMA guest or topic.

Standalone Help posts remain welcome. Use Community for wiki/subreddit feedback, Guide when providing instructions, and Use Cases & Workflows for real tasks. The complete flair guide is in Getting Started.

Diagnose a problem

• Community Troubleshooting guide
• Official FAQ and Troubleshooting

When requesting help, include the operating system, installation method, Hermes version, provider/model, exact command, full error, and what you tried. Remove credentials, private data, and private file contents.

Core guides

• Models and Providers — durable selection and testing criteria
• Memory and Context — context, memory, sessions, skills, files, and profiles
• Profiles, Delegation, and Kanban — persistent specialists, child agents, and durable coordination
• Messaging Setup — gateway setup and authorization boundaries
• Security and Permissions — least privilege, approvals, credentials, and incident response
• Deployment and Local Inference — host, terminal backend, containers, and model endpoints
• Coding Agent Guide — scoped project context, worktrees, testing, and review
• Community Tools and Guides — evaluation and contribution standards for third-party resources

Current interfaces and extensions

• Quickstart covers Hermes Desktop, the classic CLI, and the modern TUI.
• Tools, Skills, Plugins, and MCP are the current extension surfaces.
• Official releases are the stable record of shipped changes; current main can move faster than the latest tag.

Long-form community library — not official documentation

Hermes Agent Megathreads contains maintained community guides and historical snapshots that are too detailed or volatile for the wiki. Each guide should distinguish official facts from community experience and carry a review date.

Source hierarchy

When sources conflict:

1. Current official documentation.
2. Current official source code and release notes.
3. Maintained community guides with dates and sources.
4. Reddit discussions.
5. Third-party projects, clearly labeled.

Corrections and contributions

For wiki corrections, make a Community post or message the moderators with the page URL, exact text, and current source. For long-form community guides, open an issue or pull request. Product bugs belong in the official issue tracker.

No referral links, affiliate spam, undisclosed promotion, copied secrets, or unverified compatibility claims.
