Install the GNO skill and instruction block together. The skill teaches the CLI workflows; the block teaches Hermes when to retrieve, how to choose an efficient search path, and how to cite and maintain your second brain or LLM wiki. The optional memory provider adds scoped recall to the conversation lifecycle and is installed separately.

Connects via: Agent skill
Requires: Bun 1.4.1+ and one indexed folder
Data boundary: Corpus and index stay on your machine

Install

Connect Hermes Agent in one command.

gno setup ~/notes --name notes

gno skill install --target hermes --scope user

gno agents install --target hermes

gno agents verify --target hermes

What it unlocks

Search local notes, documents, and code with source citations
Follow the retrieval ladder before answering knowledge questions
Capture notes and maintain facts with explicit provenance
Optional manual import of past Hermes sessions into a separate, redacted archive index; nothing imports automatically unless you opt in to a daemon schedule

Prove it actually works

A written config file is not a working integration. GNO distinguishes the two, and so should you.

Run gno skill paths to see exactly where the skill was written, and gno agents verify to confirm the instruction block is current.
Ask the agent to search your notes for a phrase only your corpus contains.
GNO cannot prove a client loaded an installed skill, so the retrieval answer is the proof. The install step reports what it wrote, not what the client did with it.
