7 results for “cost”
- .env fileGlossaryThe file in your Hermes home (~/.hermes/.env) that stores API keys and tokens such as TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN. It holds credentials, not memory.
- /goalGlossaryA standing goal Hermes keeps working toward across turns. After each turn a judge model decides whether it's done, and if not Hermes continues, up to a budget of 20 turns by default (`goals.max_turns`).
- Bot ChatGlossaryA profile's canonical chat session with its own bot. The `bot-chat` cron delivery target posts output into it as an incoming message so the bot acts on it, costing one full agent turn per delivery.
- Progressive disclosureGlossaryHermes' token-saving way of loading skills: the agent first sees only names and descriptions, and opens a skill's full content only when needed.
- Secret sourcesGlossaryExternal secret managers (Bitwarden Secrets Manager, 1Password, or a command helper for other vaults) that inject API keys at startup, so only a bootstrap token sits in `.env`. They're configured under `secrets` in `config.yaml`.
- session_searchGlossaryThe agent's tool for searching and scrolling through past conversations stored in state.db. It costs no extra LLM calls.
- wakeAgent gateGlossaryA way for a cron job's pre-check script to skip the agent: if the script's last stdout line is `{"wakeAgent": false}`, that run spends no LLM tokens. Leaving it out means the agent runs as usual.
