Folks,
I’m setting up Hermes Agent on my Mac with Ollama hosting a local model. But I’m on the fence on whether I should go with Hermes or OpenClaw. Hermes makes some pretty bold claims about “growing with you” and “self improvement”.
Anyone have any insight into whether it’s as good as promised?


What’s the secret sauce? How it writes the skills? When it decides to do it within a conversation? Sounds like it creates skill files (markdown?) and saves them to a library, then an agent pulls in relevant skills during future prompts?
I can see this being obsolete very soon. Couldn’t you make Codex or Code do this for you. Build your own agent/s even. Maybe it’ll be included in future releases of major commercial LLMs.
