Hermes Agent ships the six loop primitives (cronjob / skill / STATE / delegate_task / MCP / memory) in one binary — no extra runtime needed for a full L1 daily-triage loop.
| Example | Pattern |
|---|---|
| daily-triage.md | Daily Triage (L1 report → L2 assisted) |
| pr-babysitter.md | PR Babysitter (L1 report → L2 worktree + verifier) |
Optional channel delivery (Telegram, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, SMS, Feishu) is Hermes's differentiator — the same cron job can post its summary into any connected home channel.
No loop-init --tool hermes yet — copy skills and state manually, then schedule via hermes cron.
See docs/primitives-matrix.md for the Hermes column in the cross-tool matrix.
