87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A tight, actionable runbook with executable Hermes commands and sensible access-level guidance. The main gap is the absence of explicit verification checkpoints after destructive operations like restarts and updates.
Suggestions
After 'hermes gateway restart' (and 'hermes update'), add an explicit verification step such as running 'hermes gateway status' and tailing journalctl to confirm the gateway came back up before reporting success.
Add a brief validate→fix→retry note for the SSH/on-box-agent flow so a failed deploy or restart has a defined recovery loop rather than an implicit one.
For Hostinger hPanel actions that expose SSH creds or trigger OS reinstalls, add an explicit confirmation-with-user checkpoint before proceeding, given their destructive scope.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean body that assumes competence — no 'what is a VPS' padding, placeholders for sensitive IPs, and every line carries operational value. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides copy-paste-ready commands (e.g. 'hermes update', 'journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway --since "5 min ago"') and exact config paths like '~/.hermes/config.yaml' under 'model.provider' + 'model.default'. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Steps for the on-box-agent vs SSH-round-trip approach are sequenced, but destructive ops like 'hermes gateway restart' lack an explicit validate-after feedback loop, which caps the score per the rubric. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Under 50 lines, no bundle files, well-organized into clear sections, with deeper external docs ('library/hermes/', 'library/infrastructure.md') signaled one level deep. | 3 / 3 |
