Hi! What can I help you with today?
I see you've got a few recent sessions available if you want to load context from any of them — just say the number (e.g. "load session 2") or ask what a past session was about.
Otherwise, what's on your mind?

USER (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
i can see that GLM-5.2 │ 21.9K/262.1K - 2 things - in two prompts you have 21.9k and second i kow GLM 5.2 is 1 m model how can i invrease the context
2026-07-31 17:55
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Two quick answers, then the config fix:
**1. Why 21.9K now** — that's the tokens already used in THIS conversation (system prompt + memory + your messages + my replies). It grows as we talk. Nothing wrong, just normal accumulation.
**2. Why 262.1K cap** — GLM-5.2 (zai-org/GLM-5.2 on DeepInfra) supports up to 1M tokens, but Hermes has a configurable `max_context` limit that caps what gets sent. Yours is set to ~262K (likely a default). We can raise it.
Let me load the skill to give you the exact command.

It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\n\nWhat makes Hermes different:\n\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\n\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\n\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\n\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Install\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubuserco

2026-07-31 17:56
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Found it. Your `model.context_length` is set to **262144** (256K). GLM-5.2 supports up to 1M. Let me bump it:
2026-07-31 17:57

[Tool: terminal]
{"output": "✓ Set model.context_length = 1000000 in /home/ubuntu/.hermes/config.yaml", "exit_code": 0, "error": null}
2026-07-31 17:57
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Done. Here's what changed:
1. **21.9K** — tokens consumed in THIS conversation so far (system prompt + memory + messages). Normal, grows as we talk.
2. **262.1K → 1M** — raised `model.context_length` from 262144 to 1000000. GLM-5.2 supports 1M, so now you'll see the cap as ~1M.
**Restart required** — config is read at startup. Exit and relaunch `hermes` (or `/reset` for a new session) to pick up the new limit.
2026-07-31 17:57
USER (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
can you tell me just my hi is taking this conversation to 21.9k what you have in memory and messages
2026-07-31 17:58
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Good question. Your "hi" is tiny — the 21.9K is almost entirely system overhead. Here's the breakdown:
**Fixed cost (loaded before your first message):**
1. System prompt instructions — all the rules, tool-use enforcement, skills mandate, etc. (~several K tokens)
2. Tool schemas — 20+ tools already loaded with full JSON schemas (terminal, patch, read_file, delegate_task, cronjob, etc.)
3. Deferred tool catalog — 140+ tools listed by name+description (flattrade 53, kotak 43, shoonya 43, etc.)
4. Available skills index — ~70 skills with names + descriptions
5. MEMORY block — 2,049 chars (your trading bot facts)
6. USER PROFILE block — 1,302 chars (who you are)
7. Session-picker preamble
**Added by this conversation:**
8. Your "hi" — ~1 token
9. My reply + skill_view call — the hermes-agent SKILL.md is HUGE (~5K+ tokens alone)
10. Two terminal() calls + outputs
11. My replies explaining the context limit
So the split is roughly:
- ~12-14K: system prompt + tool schemas + skill catalog (fixed, every session)
- ~5K: the hermes-agent skill I loaded (could've skipped it for a simple question)
- ~2-3K: terminal outputs + my replies
- ~1K: memory + user profile
- ~1 token: your "hi"
**The biggest lever you control:** the 140 deferred broker tools (flattrade/kotak/shoonya = 139 tools) are listed in every prompt even when unused. If you don't always need all three brokers, disabling unused MCP servers would cut several K tokens from every single turn.

# Hermes Agent - Development Guide
Instructions for AI coding assistants and developers working on the hermes-agent codebase.
**Never give up on the right solution.**
## What Hermes Is
Hermes is a personal AI agent that runs the same agent core across a CLI, a
messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, and ~20 other platforms), a TUI,
and an Electron desktop app. It learns across sessions (memory + skills),
delegates to subagents, runs scheduled jobs, and drives a real terminal and
browser. It is extended primarily through **plugins and skills**, not by
growing the core.
Two properties shape almost every design decision and are the lens for
reviewing any change:
- **Per-conversation prompt caching is sacred.** A long-liv

2026-07-31 18:31
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Done. Here's the full system:
**What runs automatically (Mon-Fri IST):**
- 9:05 AM — brokers ON (5 min before market open)
- 3:35 PM — brokers OFF (5 min after market close)
**Manual control anytime:**
```
python3 /home/ubuntu/scripts/toggle_mcp.py --enable
python3 /home/ubuntu/scripts/toggle_mcp.py --disable
python3 /home/ubuntu/scripts/toggle_mcp.py --market # auto-detect
python3 /home/ubuntu/scripts/toggle_mcp.py --status
```
**How it works:** The script sets `enabled: true/false` on shoonya/kotak/flattrade in config.yaml. When disabled, Hermes skips those servers entirely — no tool schemas loaded = ~8-10K fewer tokens per turn.
**To take effect:** `/reload-mcp` in an active session, or start a new session.
**"Available at will" after hours:** If you're in a session and need broker tools after market hours, just run the --enable command then `/reload-mcp`. Next session after that will have them. The cron will re-disable the next morning if it's before 9:05 AM, or keep them on during market hours.
One thing to note: since these are local-only cron jobs, you won't see notifications in this terminal when they run. If you want alerts when they fire, I can set `deliver` to a messaging platform (Telegram, Discord, etc.) — just let me know.

Done. Three commands now available in your terminal:
```
mcp_on — enable shoonya/kotak/flattrade
mcp_off — disable all 3
mcp_status — check current state
```
Open a new terminal (or run `source ~/.bashrc`) to load them. After toggling, run `/reload-mcp` in Hermes to apply the change to the active session.

cant we do mcp on (space in middle or it has to be continuous word)
2026-07-31 18:42
ASSISTANT (hermes, zai-org/GLM-5.2)
Bash function/alias names can't have spaces. But we can make `mcp` a command that takes `on`/`off`/`status` as an argument — same result:
```
mcp on
mcp off
mcp status
```
Want me to switch to that format?
