Hermes Local PC Setup — Status

Started: 2026-08-28 (Day One local) Vault: C:\Users\fight\Documents\Obsidian Vault (Agent OS layout) Profile: leonard (local Windows)

Current State

Hermes Agent fully installed and running locally (gateway active, Telegram connected)
SOUL.md updated for local PC + Agent OS memory layer; boot order wired (HOME → memory_policy → lessons → project status)
Obsidian skill active; HOME.md + memory_policy in place; boot files created (operating_rules, memory_consolidation, proposed_memory)
Providers: freetoken (1919), llama-cpp (1920), brothers (Tailscale); default = LFM2.5-2.6B via llama-cpp, fallback = brother-5090 (27B via tailnet)
FreeToken gpt-oss-20b at :1919 — 50+ tok/s on RTX 3060, primary performer for high-throughput tasks
LFM2.5-2.6B at :1920 via llama.cpp — always-on daemon, cannot coexist with gpt-oss on 12GB VRAM
Voice/TTS: wake word "hey Jimmy" (sherpa, input_device=1) + Edge TTS AriaNeural, auto_tts=true, barge-in enabled (wired 2026-08-30)
Vault search: Native search_files (ripgrep) — zero infrastructure overhead
Auto-start: start-models.bat in Windows Startup (LFM2.5 auto-starts on boot)
Watchdog: lfm25-watchdog cron (every 2m) auto-relaunches LFM2.5 if port 1920 dies
Constant-learning loop: vault-consolidation cron (daily 6am) consolidates sessions → vault
Git sync: vault-sync cron (every 6h) pushes vault to Gitea private mirror
AgentOS clone at C:\Users\fight\Documents\AgentOS for reference/templates

~~Verify Grok provider~~ — not needed, using LFM2.5 + brother nodes
~~Test obsidian skill reads/writes~~ — confirmed working
~~Monitor consolidation cron~~ — cron active, verify first run
~~Set up DSH web UI reliably~~ — dsh-web on port 3080, dsh-activity-watch cron monitoring
~~Populate 01_user/ with durable preferences~~ — current-context.md exists, proposed_memory.md has 2 items
~~Create daily brief workflow~~ — 04_Daily/ with 2026-08-29 and 2026-08-30 notes
~~Fix model startup on reboot~~ — start-models.bat in Startup, lfm25-watchdog cron
~~Fix FreeToken~~ — identified coexistence problem; manual start only now

None major. Focus on making the vault the single source of truth for agent context.
