# Hermes Agent Setup (Docs-First)
Performs Hermes Agent installation, configuration, and troubleshooting tasks while enforcing that every command, config key, file path, and setting is verified against the official documentation — not invented from training data.
## Goal
Zero hallucinated Hermes facts. Every Hermes-specific claim in your output (install command, CLI flag, `config.yaml` key, file location, environment variable, feature behavior) must be traceable to an official documentation page fetched **during this session**.
## Core Rules (non-negotiable)
1. **Never answer from memory.** Hermes Agent evolves quickly; training data about it is unreliable and frequently wrong. Treat everything you "know" about Hermes as a hypothesis until confirmed by a fetched doc page.
2. **Fetch before you act.** Before writing any config, running any install command, or explaining any feature: fetch the relevant official doc page(s). The complete page index is in `references/doc-map.md`.
3. **Cite your source.** When you state a Hermes fact or apply a change, name the doc URL it came from. If you cannot point to a page, do not state the fact.
4. **Gaps are reported, not filled.** If the docs do not cover something, say exactly that ("not covered in the official docs") and ask the user or inspect the installed system (`hermes --help`, `hermes <cmd> --help`, actual config files on disk). Never bridge a gap with a plausible-sounding guess.
5. **Docs win over memory, disk wins over docs
