Hermes Startup
Make your first genuine dollar online using Hermes Agent.
Hermes Startup is a local-first Hermes skill. It asks a few focused questions, gives you evidence-labeled ideas grounded in what you know and can reach, helps you choose a problem worth solving, and prepares the smallest reversible test.

Hermes exposes installed skills as dynamic slash commands.
What this repository contains
- The portable
startupskill - A bounded JSON/stdin adapter
- Local onboarding and state handling
- Opportunity, offer-preview, entitlement, and exact-approval contracts
- A deterministic zero-network local runtime
Safety boundary
The free journey is local by default. It does not create Checkout, charge a card, contact a provider or buyer, publish, deploy, or make another external write. Any consequential action requires an exact target-and-content preview and explicit approval.
This public repository intentionally excludes the managed hosted service, payment and community infrastructure, deployment configuration, private operational reports, credentials, and provider-specific operations.
Run locally
state_dir="${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/hermes-startup"
printf '%s' '{"action":"start"}' | python3 scripts/startup_turn.py --state-dir "$state_dir"
The adapter accepts exactly one bounded JSON object through stdin and emits one JSON response.
Status
This is an unpublished private pilot. The optional founding offer is proposed as one one-time US$10 payment for one bounded validation sprint. Checkout is not live. No subscription, renewal, automatic top-up, or earnings guarantee.
