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
Hermes Agent + GNO
Give Hermes a retrieval protocol for your knowledge
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 1.3+ and one indexed folder
- Data boundary
- Corpus and index stay on your machine

- Run
gno skill pathsto see exactly where the skill was written, andgno agents verifyto 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.
