Prompt for your agent

Goal: Get a daily brief on my topics, every line with a source.
Setup: agents used in source: Hermes Agent; tools/MCPs stated: cron.
Steps:
1. Paste the prompt into a fresh Hermes chat. Rules: a source on every line, follow my topics exactly, create nothing until I say yes.
2. It asks for three to five topics, then when and where the brief should arrive.
3. It searches each topic once and shows a sample brief: one line per finding, link at the end, max ten lines.
4. It shows the exact scheduled job (name, schedule, prompt, delivery) and waits for yes.
5. After yes it creates the job with its cron tool and tells you how to list and remove it.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
