 "title": "Keep every Bot on one shared operating policy",
 "page_title": "How to keep every Bot on one shared operating policy with Hermes Bot Forge",
 "summary": "Edit one policy file and push it to every Bot built by Bot Forge.",
 "who": "An operator with several Bots who wants the same rules on each one, such as no spending without asking, without copying text into every SOUL.md.",
 "problem": "Rules pasted into many SOUL.md files drift apart over time and are hard to keep consistent.",
 "outcome": "One edited policy file reaches each Bot, and stale Bots are listed so you can refresh them.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `$EDITOR ~/.hermes/shared/BOT-POLICY.md` and edit the shared policy",
  "Run `check_policies` to list which Bots are stale or opted out",
  "Run `update_agent` with `refresh_shared_policy: true` for each stale Bot",
  "Run `check_policies` again to confirm no Bot is listed as stale"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, edit ~/.hermes/shared/BOT-POLICY.md and then run check_policies. Expected output: a list of stale Bots and Bots that opted out with no_shared_policy. Verify by refreshing one stale Bot with update_agent and confirming it no longer appears in the stale list.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The policy is prompt text the model is asked to follow, not enforced, so nothing blocks a tool call that breaks a rule.",
