A gap analysis for Hermes users: persistent responsibilities, a read-only Scout routine, an autonomy policy file and persistent specialists.

1. Add a small “responsibility” layer (objective, owner, triggers, skill, autonomy level, reporting policy) and let cron/events create durable tasks under it.
2. Build a read-only Scout routine that checks authorised sources (email, calendar, GitHub, notes, feeds) and the web, then ignores, saves, attaches or notifies.
3. Write an autonomy policy file enforced by pre_tool_call hooks, e.g. email.read auto, email.send ask, purchase ask, credentials human only.

1. Keep the memory file at the default tiny size; first line: “Memory = only facts relevant to all conversations. Everything else → vault/skills.”
2. Keep an indexed reference/ folder in an Obsidian vault (one doc per system) as the shared source of truth; offload to it when memory hits ~75%.
3. Schedule skill pruning; deletions must declare what absorbed the content, pinned skills can be patched but not deleted.
