5 use cases

  • Build a single-purpose Bot from one sentence

    Describe a job in one sentence and get a working Bot with its own identity and tools.

    View prompt
    Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, ask my enabled Bot to create a Bot for <job description>. Expected output: a reply naming the new Bot, its job and the tools it received. Verify by running `hermes bot-forge-doctor` and confirming the new Bot appears in the Bots roster.

  • Assemble a small team of Bots with one lead

    Create a lead Bot and its members in one team request.

    View prompt
    Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, ask the manager Bot to run create_team for <team goal> with a lead and members. Expected output: a per-member result listing each Bot as created, pending sign-in, or failed. Verify by running check_agents and confirming every member is listed.

  • Keep every Bot on one shared operating policy

    Edit one policy file and push it to every Bot built by Bot Forge.

    View 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.

  • Route Bots to a local model when sign-in fails

    Set a fallback model so new Bots still run when their inherited login is not ready.

    View prompt
    Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, set fallback_model in the bot-forge settings to a local model at <base_url> and create a Bot. Expected output: a result that names the model the Bot is using and whether a sign-in is still needed. Verify by running hermes bot-forge-doctor and checking the model status it reports.

  • Share one OAuth login across new Bots

    Copy the root profile's login into a separate file so new Bots can use it.

    View prompt
    Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, run python extras/share_login.py and then create a Bot for <job>. Expected output: a Bot whose result does not ask for a per-Bot sign-in. Verify that the copied auth file has permissions 0600 and that auth.lock was not copied.
