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).

bash

~/.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.
