How you work with Hermes (goal + loops)
Hermes on the VPS runs multi-step work with verify loops — not one-shot chat for big changes.
Difficulty 2/5
Plain English
Forum topic per repo, skills goal + repo skill, RUN_STATUS on disk, checker subagent. You sell apps fast; Hermes is how you ship without understanding every line — but you still verify lint/test/build.
Analogy
You're the director; Hermes is the production crew with a checklist.

AGENTS.md done_rule: typecheck, lint, tests.
Go deeper
Big task = loop until done_rule passes.
Common mistakes
- Accepting agent 'done' without command output.
- Wrong Telegram topic / repo path.
AI-agent trap
Skipping read of AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md before editing.
Summary
workdir must be repo root; push + gh run watch for CI.
