Hermes Agent + psh.now

Long-running work that can still stop to ask.

Hermes Agent reads skills from ~/.hermes/skills. A run that would otherwise park on a question keeps going once you answer - from any device, at any hour.

Install it

Two commands, either one. The first is the packaged skill; the second needs no npm and no git.

npx skills add passy-ai/psh-now-skill -g -y

curl -fsSL https://psh.now/install.sh | sh

It lands in ~/.hermes/skills/psh-now, so only Hermes Agent picks it up from there. The shared directory is written too, which is why the same install works everywhere else.

Connect a channel

Open the dashboard, copy the prompt from a channel card, and give it to Hermes Agent. The link carries the channel, so nothing new is minted and the key it gets is ask-only - it can request approvals, never approve.

I'd like you to use psh.now and join this channel: https://psh.now/c/<channel>

What it asks with

Once installed, the agent's side of the contract is one command:

psh ask "Deploy the new build?" "This pushes to production."

It blocks until you answer, then exits 0 on approval and non-zero otherwise. A timeout or an error means do not act - silence is never consent.

Ask or gate

Hermes Agent runs the skill, and a skill is an ask: the model can skip it. If your setup exposes hooks, wire psh hook and the same call becomes a gate instead. Claude Code is the reference: see its hook.
