Stop rewriting your Hermes agent’s job description.
“Check the evidence.” “Explain the trade-offs.” “Don’t jump straight to a fix.”
If you keep repeating those instructions, a reusable profile is worth exploring.
@HermesWatcher surfaced a collection of 68 Star Trek-inspired Hermes profiles. Here are five starting points, matched to actual work:
✦ Spock → investigate a recurring failure.
✦ Data → examine messy data or plan a schema.
✦ Picard → compare options before a difficult decision.
✦ Worf → review permissions and operational risks.
✦ Quark → examine pricing and negotiation trade-offs.
Each packages instructions for how Hermes approaches the work, including strengths, blind spots and safeguards.
Try one on a task you already understand. Keep the model and input the same, start a fresh session, then compare it with your usual setup.
Check three things: what it missed, what you had to correct, and whether the next action was clearer.
A profile changes the instructions. Better results still need evidence.
