genuinely skilled

Get a real AI agent up and running on your own machine: install Hermes, configure your model provider, give it a personality with SOUL.md, make it aware of your projects, and teach it to remember. By the end you have a fully working, personalized Hermes agent -- Hermes Agent Advanced picks up from here.

Picks up where Hermes Agent Fundamentals leaves off: schedule your agent's work, connect it to Telegram/Discord/Slack and 20 more platforms, extend it with tools, skills, and MCP servers, give it voice and vision, coordinate multiple agents, and run all of it safely in production.

Put Hermes Agent to work on real homelab hardware -- deploy it on a Proxmox VM or TrueNAS, give it SSH access across your machines, query VM and storage health, monitor your network, and schedule a daily digest to your phone. Nine lessons from first deployment to a working infrastructure agent.

The definitive guide to everything new in Hermes v0.18 — Mixture-of-Agents ensemble reasoning, completion contracts for /goal, the /learn command, parallel subagent fleets, provider routing, and the full v0.18 Desktop redesign. Assumes completion of Hermes Agent Fundamentals and Hermes Agent Advanced.

A complete guide to the Hermes Skills ecosystem — write SKILL.md files from scratch, use /learn to capture any workflow, manage the Skills Hub, automate skill lifecycle with the curator, and build a personal library that grows with you.
