Hermes Agent Chat Commands

Hermes Agent chat commands keep the assistant controllable in conversations: view help, switch models, load skills, clear context, execute system info queries or searches. The command system lowers training costs—colleagues only need to remember a few commands to complete common operations.

Hermes Agent Server Commands

Hermes Agent server commands handle starting, stopping, viewing status, viewing logs, updating versions, managing skills and configurations. They solve the "is the service healthy" problem, not single conversation experience.
