name	hermes-command-code
description	Use when Hermes should reason with CLI-first workflows, indexed lookup, jcodemunch-style token savings, or command-oriented execution.

Command Code

Use command-code when the task can be answered faster with targeted lookup than with broad scanning.

Preferred order

1. Indexed code intelligence
2. Targeted file reads
3. Focused command execution
4. Full repo scans only when necessary

Good fits

• Finding the exact file that controls a behavior
• Mapping a change before editing
• Verifying a build or service endpoint
• Comparing the current tree against a known good state

Token-saving rules

• Prefer one small query over ten broad guesses
• Read the minimum number of files needed to confirm a claim
• Use direct paths and exact symbols when possible
• Capture the result before expanding the search

Tooling posture

• Use jcodemunch-style indexed lookup when available
• Use mcp2cli or other CLI bridges when they reduce friction
• Keep command output focused enough to turn into a next action
