Learning Advice

  1. Get the minimal loop working first: install → configure model → terminal chat
  2. Add one real scenario: e.g., Telegram + a daily push
  3. Gradually distill skills and memory so the assistant "grows" into your workflow
  4. Take security seriously: least privilege, sandboxed execution, gateway allowlists
  5. Follow official updates: it iterates fast — hermes update + read the changelog
