Use when onboarding a new customer — configure gateway, dashboard, memory, services for production.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Hermes Onboarding

Configure a fresh Hermes Agent from a working base chat to a production-ready deployment.

**Precondition:** Hermes is installed and the main model + provider are configured. Verify with `hermes doctor`. If the agent cannot complete a normal chat, stop here and fix the provider first.

**Leading word:** *onboard* — configure every layer before declaring the setup complete.

## When to Use

- A customer has a fresh Hermes install with a working base chat and needs full configuration
- An operator is setting up Hermes on a new VPS or machine for production use
- A customer wants to go from "it works" to "it is secured, memory-enabled, always-on, and maintained"

Do not use if the main model is not yet configured. Fix the provider first.

## Step 0 — Load references

Load `references/setup-details.md`. It holds config snippets, systemd templates, DonSeTch MCP config, skill guardrail principles, and verbosity examples.

**Done:** references file loaded into context.

## Step 1 — Detect environment

Run the detection block from `references/setup-details.md` § Detection. Collect:

| Item | How |
|------|-----|
| OS | `uname -a` |
| systemd | `systemctl --version` |
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moonlight-lupin/agent-skills/hermes-onboarding@sha256:24944181be7bef63

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
