Hermes Agent Transfer Guide

To migrate Hermes configuration and learned state to another machine:

1. Copy the Config File

scp ~/.hermes/config.yaml user@new-host:~/.hermes/

2. Copy Profile Data

Each profile has its own skills/, plugins/, cron/, and memories/:

scp -r ~/.hermes/profiles/default/* user@new-host:~/.hermes/profiles/default/

Repeat for any other profiles you use.

3. Verify on New Host

hermes doctor   # checks config and skill integrity
hermes skills list

If anything is missing, re‑install with:

hermes skill install <name>

or restore from backup.

This transfers all persisted settings, skills, cron jobs, and memories. The agent will behave the same as on the original machine (assuming the same Python environment and any external tools/API keys are also provisioned).
