this is exactly why i love hermes and this community, installed it and just got to work. people hating are the ones wasting time ricing the agent instead of actually using it. its like arch vs fedora, yeah arch is minimal but you spend the whole week configuring instead of shipping. big thanks to the team for building something that just works.
Just want to make this clear:
We didn't make Hermes Agent to be a "starts with nothing, you work it all out" agent. This is not the minimalist, start from nothing, agent.
We want Hermes to work out of the box for most people. So you aren't spending weeks just getting the agent to work, or have the capabilities you need.
This means that yes, there are more built in things then something like nanoclaw or pi, which start with nothing, and you just have to figure it out.
That is an intentional design decision.
You can from the modest baseline that has capabilities that are likely broader than you need, but not egregious, take it from there if you want to tinker with it.
Run `hermes skills config` or `hermes tools` to disable whatever you want.
We even have a way to upload your whole "Agent" as a github repo, so you can install hermes fresh with your exact setup again later or share them.
We have a massive interface for extensions so you can tinker with it to infinity.
But if you don't want to become an agent engineer - with Hermes, you don't have to.
