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 commandhermes-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>
hermes wiki archive <slug>
hermes wiki unarchive <slug>
Reading and searching
hermes wiki search "<fts query>" [--wiki <slug>] [--limit N]
hermes wiki open <page-id>
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>
hermes wiki ingest --inbox
hermes wiki inbox
hermes wiki create-page "Title" --body "Markdown body" [--type concept] [--tag t]
Health
hermes wiki lint
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>
hermes wiki refs <task-id> --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
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.
