Hermes for operators

Practical Hermes guidance for setup, sessions, model choices, rollout safety, and recovery.

Use this section when you need source-backed Hermes help organized around operator jobs instead of scattered notes: first run, working flow, model setup, approvals, messaging rollout, debugging, validation, and trust boundaries.

Start ruleProve the local CLI path first, then expand into sessions, model changes, messaging surfaces, and broader rollout.
