Using Hermes daily? Know these 5 maintenance tools before something breaks. 🔧
Before changing random settings, open:
Command Center → Maintenance.
Here are five controls worth knowing—and when to use them:
→ Run doctor: something broke
Check the install, config and providers. Start with the diagnostic output to narrow down what to investigate.
→ Create backup: you’re about to change things
Back up config, memories, skills and sessions before an update or major configuration change. Confirm the backup file was created.
→ Security audit: you added skills or changed settings
Scan for risky settings. Review the findings; a clean result isn’t a guarantee of safety.
→ Skill curator: your skill collection keeps growing
Periodically check what was archived or reactivated. Then test a task that uses an affected skill.
→ Debug share: you need troubleshooting help
It uploads a redacted report and logs to a shareable link. Review what’s being shared before uploading.
🔧 Example: you change a provider and Hermes stops responding.
Run doctor → investigate the reported issue → make one targeted change → retry the same task.
📌 Save this as your maintenance checklist. You don’t need every button daily—just the right one when it matters.
