Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The author set up a competitive monitoring workflow in Hermes on a Tuesday and gave it the same prompt every Monday for six weeks. Every 15 tool calls, Hermes reviews the session and saves a workflow file to its skills folder, which the author can read, edit or delete. The competitive briefing skill was rewritten four times.

  2. How it went

    Task time fell from 20 minutes in week one to 12 in week four and 8 by week six. By week six the briefing surfaced competitor patterns he hadn't caught in three weeks of manual work.

  3. Worth knowing

    The full SKILL files, setup steps and limitations section are behind a paywall, so the details of how to copy this are not visible in the free portion.

Example prompts

Try with Hermes Agent
Every [day of week] at [time], research what these competitors did in the past week: [competitor names and URLs]. Check their blogs, changelogs, pricing pages, job postings and press, and write a one-page briefing with what changed, why it matters for [my product], and any patterns across weeks. Save a short skill noting what worked so each week's briefing improves, run the first briefing now, and show it to me before you schedule the recurring job.
