Resources and Update Tracking

Resources and Update Tracking

Section titled “Resources and Update Tracking”

Hermes changes quickly, and second-hand tutorials can age fast. For installation, providers, tools, gateway, and automation questions, start with official docs, PyPI, GitHub releases, and source before community posts.

When to re-verify

Section titled “When to re-verify”

Do not rely on old notes when:

  • Writing team install docs.
  • Pinning or upgrading a version.
  • Enabling gateway, cron, or API server.
  • Provider, model, OAuth, or pricing behavior changes.
  • Production automation suddenly fails.
  • Writing public technical docs or tutorials.

Version baselines need dates. For example: “Checked PyPI on 2026-05-25: hermes-agent 0.14.0, Python >=3.11.” A version claim without a date loses value quickly.

What to record locally

Section titled “What to record locally”

Do not mirror the official docs into your project. Record only the decisions that matter to your setup:

Hermes version:
Install method:
Provider:
Model:
Enabled toolsets:
Gateway platforms:
Cron jobs:
Skills used:
Security boundaries:
Last verified:
Owner:

That makes future upgrades about known dependencies, not archaeology through chat history.
