Hermes Posting Admin

Overview

This skill manages Hermes' Discord posting setup for the grok-signal-agent workspace. Use the repository config as the source of truth, then sync it into the running Hermes runtime.

The main helper is:

~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh

It knows how to locate the repo, validate posting config, install runtime watcher files, register Hermes cron/webhook entries, restart the gateway, and dry-run watcher triggers.

When to Use

Use this skill when the user asks in Japanese or English to:

• 投稿設定を変える, 投稿の設定を追加する, Discord投稿を調整する
• cron投稿, morning brief, weekly review, daily review を変更する
• webhook trigger, event trigger, Zenn, X tech digest, X buzz posts を設定する
• 閾値, source route, watcher, 発火条件, cooldown を調整する
• 今の投稿設定を確認する, 発火テストする, 運用開始する

Do not use this for writing a one-off message. Use it only for persistent posting configuration or trigger operations.

Source Of Truth

Edit these repo files first:

• config/hermes-cronjobs.json: time-based posting jobs.
• config/hermes-webhooks.json: event-triggered Hermes routes.
• config/signal-watchers.json: feed/page watchers such as Zenn and official AI/developer sources.
• prompts/tech-digest.md: long-form X tech digest prompt.
• prompts/x-buzz-digest.md: twice-daily X buzz roundup prompt (hermes-x-buzz-digest-cron.sh, 06:45/18:40).
• prompts/curiosity-candidate.md and prompts/curiosity-research.md: bounded daily question selection and source-backed public research note (hermes-curiosity-cron.sh, 20:45 to #hermes-lab).
• prompts/hermes-post-style.md: shared Discord voice for Hermes-chan posts.
• scripts/*-cron.sh: no-agent script handlers used by cron/webhooks.

The curiosity job publishes conclusions and evidence, never private memory or raw chain-of-thought. Keep its one-topic daily budget, direct-URL requirement, append-only event log, and prohibition on self-modifying code, prompts, schedules, permissions, or memory write-back.

Runtime files under ~/.hermes/runtime/grok-signal-agent/ are generated copies. Do not edit runtime copies as the source of truth.

Standard Workflow

1. Inspect current state:

   ~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh status
   

2. Make the smallest config edit needed in the repo source files.

3. Validate and review routes:

   ~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh check
   

4. Sync the repo config into Hermes runtime:

   ~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh sync
   

5. Test relevant routes:

   ~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh test-webhooks signal-catchup ai-latest-trigger x-buzz-trigger
   ~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh dry-run-watchers
   

6. Report exactly what changed, what was synced, and which tests passed.

Quick Operations

Change a watcher source route:

~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh set-source-route zenn-trending signal-catchup
~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh sync

Change a watcher threshold:

~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh set-source-threshold zenn-trending 74
~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh sync
~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh dry-run-watchers

Test only lightweight webhook routes:

~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh test-webhooks signal-catchup ai-latest-trigger x-buzz-trigger

Test expensive routes only when the user clearly asks, because these can create real Discord posts and may use X search or LLM calls:

~/.hermes/bin/hermes-posting-admin.sh test-webhooks tech-digest-trigger nightly-dreaming-trigger

Current Posting Model

• 朝6時ブリーフィング｜予定・主要ニュース・Tech/AI stays as Hermes cron at weekday 06:00 and posts to #briefings; its first lines summarize today's schedule and leading general/Tech/AI topics.
• weekly-review stays as Hermes cron at Friday 17:00 and posts to #hermes-alerts.
• Hermes health check stays as Hermes cron at daily 06:30 and posts to #hermes-alerts only when attention is needed.
• tech-digest 18:00 stays as the only scheduled tech digest, on weekdays.
• tech-digest 08:00, tech-digest 12:30, daily-review, and nightly dreaming remain disabled cleanup cron entries.
• tech-digest-trigger is a manual/script route for running the full digest outside the cron schedule.
• ai-latest-trigger is event-driven and receives high-signal official AI source signals.
• X buzz digest 06:45 and X buzz digest 18:40 are Hermes cron jobs (hermes-x-buzz-digest-cron.sh) that call x_search twice daily and post a short trending-X roundup directly to #tech-radar. This replaced the earlier always-on x-pulse-watcher LaunchAgent (30-minute polling via the x-buzz-trigger webhook), which is retired; x-buzz-trigger itself is still registered for manual test-webhooks use but nothing sends it automatically anymore.
• zenn-dev-trigger and wbsb-trigger are disabled cleanup webhook entries. Zenn signals route through signal-catchup; wbsb.dev is no longer monitored.
• signal-catchup is generic event-driven catch-up.
• nightly-dreaming-trigger is memory maintenance, not a normal news post, and routes to #hermes-alerts; direct conversation stays in #hermes-chat.

Safety Rules

• Do not delete or reset user state files unless explicitly asked.
• Do not edit ~/.hermes/webhook_subscriptions.json directly; use sync.
• Do not edit ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json directly; use sync or hermes cron.
• Do not expose webhook secrets in replies.
• For new Discord channels, require the channel ID before changing delivery.
• For Zenn changes, keep direct source URLs mandatory in prompts.
• Preserve the Hermes-chan posting voice. User-visible Discord posts should not become anonymous reports; keep prompts/hermes-post-style.md synced.
• If a route is expensive, say so before running a test unless the user asked to test all posting routes.

Verification Checklist

• hermes-posting-admin.sh check passes.
• hermes-posting-admin.sh sync completes.
• hermes webhook list shows the intended routes.
• hermes cron list shows the intended cron jobs.
• Relevant test-webhooks calls return 202 accepted.
• Relevant watcher dry-runs show expected route names.
