Summary

The creator released hermes-profiles, a repo of ready-made profiles you can install into Hermes Agent, for example a 'legal-person' profile. For now you clone the repo and install a profile from a local folder; a later release will make profiles installable straight from their own repo. All of it was built with Cursor Cloud agents.

Key points

• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/donvito/hermes-profiles
• Install a profile: hermes profile install ./hermes-profiles/profiles/<profile-name> --alias -y
• Example: hermes profile install ./hermes-profiles/profiles/legal-person --alias -y
• Profiles are pre-built agent personas/configs for Hermes Agent
• Planned: install each profile directly from its own repo
• The whole project was built with Cursor Cloud agents
