Hermes Wiki Commands

Hermes LLM Wikis are persistent, curated, attributable knowledge bases following Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Markdown files and Raw Sources are authoritative; SQLite projections are rebuildable support views.

All commands are available three ways:

• hermes wiki <verb> … — top-level Hermes CLI subcommand
• /wiki <verb> … — in-session slash command
• hermes-wiki <verb> … — standalone executable

Resolving the target wiki

Most verbs accept --wiki <slug>. Without it, the profile-local current wiki is used (set via wiki switch <slug>). Mutations additionally require a write grant: HERMES_WIKI=<slug> in the environment, wiki.write_grants in config.yaml, or the wiki toolset enabled.

Lifecycle

hermes wiki create <slug> --domain "What this wiki covers"
hermes wiki list [--archived]
hermes wiki show [<slug>]
hermes wiki switch <slug>          # set the profile-local current wiki
hermes wiki archive <slug>         # reversible; never deletes files
hermes wiki unarchive <slug>

Reading and searching

hermes wiki search "<fts query>" [--wiki <slug>] [--limit N]
hermes wiki open <page-id>         # print page Markdown, e.g. concepts/agent-memory
hermes wiki list-pages [--type <page-type>] [--tag <tag>]
hermes wiki log [--author <name>] [--kind agent|profile|human|cron] [--page <id>]

Ingesting and writing

See the wiki:wiki-ingestion and wiki:wiki-writing skills for full workflows.

hermes wiki ingest <path-or-url>   # classify + snapshot + generate pages
hermes wiki ingest --inbox         # batch-process raw/inbox
hermes wiki inbox                  # list unprocessed inbox files
hermes wiki create-page "Title" --body "Markdown body" [--type concept] [--tag t]

Health

hermes wiki lint                   # lint + repair the projection; prints JSON report

Exit code is 1 when the report status is failed.

Kanban links

hermes wiki link <page-id> <task-id>
hermes wiki unlink <page-id> <task-id>
hermes wiki refs <page-id>         # tasks linked to a page
hermes wiki refs <task-id> --task  # pages linked to a task

Monitors (recurring sweeps)

hermes wiki monitor --source arxiv|rss|x [--name n] [--schedule "0 9 * * 1"] [--prompt p] [--skill s]
hermes wiki monitor --setup --yes  # reconcile definitions into Hermes cron
hermes wiki monitor --sweep-url <url> [--name n]

Definitions are stored portably in the wiki's SCHEMA.md; cron scheduling is a separate explicit reconcile.

Custom plugins (trust before execute)

Custom classifier/processor code is never executed merely because a file exists.

hermes wiki plugins list
hermes wiki plugins trust classifier|processor <name>
hermes wiki plugins untrust <name> [--kind classifier|processor]

Per-wiki skills

Each wiki declares which skills guide ingestion and writing (defaults: wiki:wiki-ingestion and wiki:wiki-writing).

hermes wiki skills show [--wiki <slug>]
hermes wiki skills set ingestion|writing <skill-name>

Conventions to respect

• Raw Sources are append-only — never overwrite a snapshot.
• Every write carries attribution (author + author_kind).
• Standard relative Markdown links only inside pages and the Index.
• Archive instead of delete; purge is intentionally unavailable.
