Hermes ↔ Grok Bot operator manual

Wire an existing Nous Research Hermes Agent into the Grok Bot app over a private Tailscale net. Hermes stays the brain. Grok Bot is the front door.

This repo is the operator write-up. The comms code lives upstream:

Bridge: https://github.com/shagghiesuperstar/hermes-grok-bridge
SSH Relay template: https://x.ai/bot/NVF3Rx9T7jkQPsqYjeDn-
API Fleet template: https://x.ai/bot/5KLpaL-JIM2q629kbTh5L
Fleet Ops template: https://x.ai/bot/rzq0UV2MmBsvVR1EspZE-

Start here

Read MANUAL.md (full TOC).
Pick SSH Relay if Hermes is Desktop-primary (no gateway).
Pick Native API (:8642) if the gateway + API server are already up and you want parallel fleet asks.
Add identity bots per host. Optional: one Chief of Staff + Fleet Ops.

Hard rules

Tailscale only. No Funnel. No public bind on :8642.
Never commit API_SERVER_KEY, SSH private keys, or vault tokens.
Do not let Grok write Hermes memory plugins (Hindsight, Graphiti, Omega, MEMORY.md) unless you have an explicit memory plan.
Account-scoped MCP is visible to every Grok Bot on the account. Confine identity bots in their system prompt.
