Hermes Agent Bridge

This skill allows OpenClaw to delegate tasks or ask questions directly to a standalone Hermes Agent installed on the same system via its CLI interface.

Description

Use this skill when you need to leverage Hermes Agent's fast response times, its specific configured personas, or its local terminal tools. This acts as a bridge where OpenClaw asks Hermes to process a prompt and return the result.

Usage

Run the following bash command using the exec tool, passing the prompt as a string. Note that we rely on hermes being in the PATH (e.g., ~/.local/bin/hermes).

~/.local/bin/hermes chat -q "your prompt here"

Examples

If the user asks you to "ask Hermes to write a quick script" or "see what Hermes thinks about this":

  1. Call the exec tool:

    • command: ~/.local/bin/hermes chat -q "Write a quick Python script to monitor system load"
  2. Read the stdout of the exec result, which contains Hermes's answer, and relay it back to the user.
