    Hermes Cron Automation

    Example session with this skill installed

    My Hermes jobs stopped delivering and I only noticed days later. Set up cheap watchdogs so this never happens again.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the hermes cron automation

    What was wrong (diagnosed on a real Hermes install)

    hermes cron list showed four agent jobs failing

    13× in a row with HTTP 402: requires more credits — the OpenRouter balance was $0.00. The health check had warned, but nothing blocked it.

    Watchdogs added — all --no-agent, $0 per run

    cp scripts/{credit-watch.py,disk-watch.sh,service-watch.sh} ~/.hermes/scripts/   # copy, not symlink
hermes cron create "0 */6 * * *" --no-agent --script credit-watch.py --deliver telegram --name credit-watch
hermes cron create "every 30m"  --no-agent --script disk-watch.sh    --deliver telegram --name disk-watch
hermes cron create "every 10m"  --no-agent --script service-watch.sh --deliver telegram --name gateway-watch

    Real output

    $ CREDIT_WATCH_MIN_USD=10 python3 credit-watch.py
⚠️ OpenRouter credit low: $5.00 left (threshold $10.00). Top up at https://openrouter.ai/settings/credits — agent jobs fail with HTTP 402 at $0.
$ CREDIT_WATCH_MIN_USD=1 python3 credit-watch.py      # healthy → prints nothing → no message
$ SERVICE_WATCH_USER=hermes-gateway bash service-watch.sh   # running → silent

    Change monitor instead of a 5-minute agent poll

    About this skill

    Automating recurring tasks in Hermes Agent often leads to silent failures or unexpected token drain. This skill provides the specific scripts and configurations needed to build high-reliability watchdogs and conditional agent jobs that only trigger when judgment is required.

    What it does

    • Automates watchdogs using script-only --no-agent modes to monitor disk usage, service status, and OpenRouter credits for $0 LLM cost.
    • Configures conditional triggers via --monitor-script and wakeAgent gates to prevent the model from waking up unless data has actually changed.
    • Suppresses unnecessary delivery by implementing [SILENT] logic in agent responses when no human intervention is needed.
    • Handles data refreshes through atomic write patterns and fallback chains that prevent corrupted upstreams from overwriting valid local snapshots.
    • Audits cron health using diagnostic commands to track execution history, incidents, and scheduler status.

    How it works

    1. Script deployment: Copy the provided .sh and .py monitoring scripts into the ~/.hermes/scripts/ directory.
    2. Job creation: Initialize a job using hermes cron create with the appropriate flags like --no-agent for simple checks or --monitor-script for LLM-driven analysis.
    3. Secret management: Configure local chmod 600 credential files for scripts to bypass the sanitized environment of the Hermes subprocess.
    4. Optimization: Pin specific models and minimize enabled_toolsets to reduce token overhead per execution tick.

    Frameworks & tools

    Targeted at Hermes Agent (Nous Research) v0.20.6 and above. Built using POSIX shell scripts, Python 3, and Hermes CLI commands.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Prompting alone cannot solve the "silent failure" problem where a cron job stops running without alerting you. This skill provides the underlying system-level patterns, such as exit code handling and stable hashing for monitors, that generic prompting ignores.

    Use cases

    • Monitoring server health and API credits without incurring per-minute LLM costs.
    • Creating a daily morning briefing that only delivers if there are high-priority calendar events.
    • Building a robust RSS or API monitor that only alerts when new, specific keywords are detected.
    • Maintaining a local data snapshot with automated fallbacks and validity checks.

    Known limitations

    Scripts must be manually copied to ~/.hermes/scripts/ as symlinks are rejected. The scheduler cannot monitor its own host gateway status; external heartbeats are required for that.
