What problem does it solve? Hermes offers many context-loading mechanisms (SOUL.md, .hermes.md, AGENTS.md, memory, skills, references, templates, scripts), and misplacing knowledge wastes context space or leaks it into the wrong sessions. This Skill provides a decision framework for choosing the correct storage location based on scope, lifetime, and content type. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Placement Decision Framework: A step-by-step decision process mapping content types (identity, project rules, facts, procedures, external docs, templates, scripts) to the right Hermes storage mechanism. - Skill Library Quality Review: A systematic audit process covering inventory, duplication detection, frontmatter standards, and surgical patch-based fixes. - Pitfall Catalog: Documented failure modes such as ambiguous skill name collisions and Hindsight backend connectivity failures, with concrete fixes. - Use Case: After learning a new user preference or discovering a reusable workflow, run the decision process to determine whether it belongs in memory, a skill, or SOUL.md, then verify with the checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to decide where a newly learned fact or procedure should be persisted in Hermes and have it walk through the placement decision process.
