Fixing P3 and P5 now — both are self-contained.

Explanation:
Rocky wants me to keep working through the goal. Let me fix P3 (personality) and P5 (SOUL.md clarification) now — both are actionable without waiting for him.

P3: Set personality to something appropriate for a dry Irish foreman. Let me check what personality options are actually available first.

P5: Update SOUL.md to clarify the workspace split between Hermes and OpsMan.

Let me do both in parallel.

hermes config set display.personality "concise" 2>&1 || hermes config set display.personality "direct" 2>&1 || echo "checking available personalities"; grep -r "personality" /root/.hermes/ 2>/dev/null | grep -i "option\|choice\|value\|preset" | head -10

## Roles
1. **A/B PM agent for LFCS.** Read-only on `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` (USER.md, TOOLS.md, lfcs-standards/, Jobs/). Write own state to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/`.
2. **Workspace split with OpenClaw OpsMan:**
   - **OpsMan** (`clawdbot-opsman`): owns `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` — writes Job Trackers, RFI registers, variation registers, dockets, daily diaries, email drafts. This is the foreman's primary working directory.
   - **Hermes** (this agent): reads `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` for context; writes to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/` for its own state. Do NOT write to opsman-work — that is OpsMan's territory.
   - Both agents share the same Airtable base (`LFCS-Operations`, `appE43UvTyARe5oJs`) via MCP.
   - Both agents can read the team vault at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/`.

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.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\\n\\n# Interactive chat (default)\\nhermes\\n\\n# Single query\\nhermes chat -q \\\"What is the capital of France?\\\"\\n\\n# Setup wizard\\nhermes setup\\n\\n# Change model/provider\\nhermes model\\n\\n# Check health\\nhermes doctor\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## CLI Reference\\n\\n### Global Flags\\n\\n```\\nhermes [flags] [command]\\n\\n  --version, -V             Show version\\n  --resume, -r SESSION      Resume session by ID or title\\n  --continue, -c [NAME]     Resume by name, or most recent session\\n  --worktree, -w            Isolated git worktree mode (parallel agents)\\n  --skills, -s SKILL        Preload skills (comma-separate or repeat)\\n  --profile, -p NAME        Use a named profile\\n  --yolo                    Skip dangerous command approval\\n  --pass-session-id         Include session ID in system prompt\\n```\\n\\nNo subcommand defaults to `chat`.\\n\\n### Chat\\n\\n```\\nhermes chat [flags]\\n  -q, --query TEXT          Single query, non-interactive\\n  -m, --model MODEL         Model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)\\n  -t, --toolsets LIST       Comma-separated toolsets\\n  --provider PROVIDER       Force provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.)\\n  -v, --verbose             Verbose output\\n  -Q, --quiet               Suppress banner, spinner, tool previews\\n  --checkpoints             Enable filesystem checkpoints (/rollback)\\n  --source TAG              Session source tag (default: cli)\\n```\\n\\n### Configuration\\n\\n```\\nhermes setup [section]      Interactive wizard (model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent)\\nhermes model                Interactive model/provider picker\\nhermes config               View current config\\nhermes config edit          Open config.yaml in $EDITOR\\nhermes config set KEY VAL   Set a config value\\nhermes config path          Print config.yaml path\\nhermes config env-path      Print .env path\\nhermes config check         Check for missing/outdated config\\nhermes config migrate       Update config with new options\\nhermes login [--provider P] OAuth login (nous, openai-codex)\\nhermes logout               Clear stored auth\\nhermes doctor [--fix]       Check dependencies and config\\nhermes status [--all]       Show component status\\n```\\n\\n### Tools & Skills\\n\\n```\\nhermes tools                Interactive tool enable/disable (curses UI)\\nhermes tools list           Show all tools and status\\nhermes tools enable NAME    Enable a toolset\\nhermes tools disable NAME   Disable a toolset\\n\\nhermes skills list          List installed skills\\nhermes skills search QUERY  Search the skills hub\\nhermes skills install ID    Install a skill (ID can be a hub identifier OR a direct https://…/SKILL.md URL;

They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Security & Privacy Toggles\\n\\nCommon \\\"why is Hermes doing X to my output / tool calls / commands?\\\" toggles — and the exact commands to change them. Most of these need a fresh session (`/reset` in chat, or start a new `hermes` invocation) because they're read once at startup.\\n\\n### Secret redaction in tool output\\n\\nSecret redaction is **off by default** — tool output (terminal stdout, `read_file`, web content, subagent summaries, etc.) passes through unmodified. If the user wants Hermes to auto-mask strings that look like API keys, tokens, and secrets before they enter the conversation context and logs:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets true       # enable globally\\n```\\n\\n**Restart required.** `security.redact_secrets` is snapshotted at import time — toggling it mid-session (e.g. via `export HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true` from a tool call) will NOT take effect for the running process. Tell the user to run `hermes config set security.redact_secrets true` in a terminal, then start a new session. This is deliberate — it prevents an LLM from flipping the toggle on itself mid-task.\\n\\nDisable again with:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets false\\n```\\n\\n### PII redaction in gateway messages\\n\\nSeparate from secret redaction. When enabled, the gateway hashes user IDs and strips phone numbers from the session context before it reaches the model:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii true    # enable\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii false   # disable (default)\\n```\\n\\n### Command approval prompts\\n\\nBy default (`approvals.mode: manual`), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, etc.). The modes are:\\n\\n- `manual` — always prompt (default)\\n- `smart` — use an auxiliary LLM to auto-approve low-risk commands, prompt on high-risk\\n- `off` — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to `--yolo`)\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set approvals.mode smart       # recommended middle ground\\nhermes config set approvals.mode off         # bypass everything (not recommended)\\n```\\n\\nPer-invocation bypass without changing config:\\n- `hermes --yolo …`\\n- `export HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1`\\n\\nNote: YOLO / `approvals.mode: off` does NOT turn off secret redaction. They are independent.\\n\\n### Shell hooks allowlist\\n\\nSome shell-hook integrations require explicit allowlisting before they fire. Managed via `~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json` — prompted interactively the first time a hook wants to run.\\n\\n### Disabling the web/browser/image-gen tools\\n\\nTo keep the model away from network or media tools entirely, open `hermes tools` and toggle per-platform. Takes effect on next session (`/reset`).

They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Security & Privacy Toggles\\n\\nCommon \\\"why is Hermes doing X to my output / tool calls / commands?\\\" toggles — and the exact commands to change them. Most of these need a fresh session (`/reset` in chat, or start a new `hermes` invocation) because they're read once at startup.\\n\\n### Secret redaction in tool output\\n\\nSecret redaction is **off by default** — tool output (terminal stdout, `read_file`, web content, subagent summaries, etc.) passes through unmodified. If the user wants Hermes to auto-mask strings that look like API keys, tokens, and secrets before they enter the conversation context and logs:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets true       # enable globally\\n```\\n\\n**Restart required.** `security.redact_secrets` is snapshotted at import time — toggling it mid-session (e.g. via `export HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true` from a tool call) will NOT take effect for the running process. Tell the user to run `hermes config set security.redact_secrets true` in a terminal, then start a new session. This is deliberate — it prevents an LLM from flipping the toggle on itself mid-task.\\n\\nDisable again with:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets false\\n```\\n\\n### PII redaction in gateway messages\\n\\nSeparate from secret redaction. When enabled, the gateway hashes user IDs and strips phone numbers from the session context before it reaches the model:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii true    # enable\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii false   # disable (default)\\n```\\n\\n### Command approval prompts\\n\\nBy default (`approvals.mode: manual`), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, etc.). The modes are:\\n\\n- `manual` — always prompt (default)\\n- `smart` — use an auxiliary LLM to auto-approve low-risk commands, prompt on high-risk\\n- `off` — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to `--yolo`)\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set approvals.mode smart       # recommended middle ground\\nhermes config set approvals.mode off         # bypass everything (not recommended)\\n```\\n\\nPer-invocation bypass without changing config:\\n- `hermes --yolo …`\\n- `export HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1`\\n\\nNote: YOLO / `approvals.mode: off` does NOT turn off secret redaction. They are independent.\\n\\n### Shell hooks allowlist\\n\\nSome shell-hook integrations require explicit allowlisting before they fire. Managed via `~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json` — prompted interactively the first time a hook wants to run.\\n\\n### Disabling the web/browser/image-gen tools\\n\\nTo keep the model away from network or media tools entirely, open `hermes tools` and toggle per-platform. Takes effect on next session (`/reset`). See the Tools & Skills section above.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Voice & Transcription\\n\\n### STT (Voice → Text)\\n\\nVoice messages from messaging platforms are auto-transcribed.\\n\\nProvider priority (auto-detected):\\n1. **Local faster-whisper** — free, no API key: `pip install faster-whisper`\\n2. **Groq Whisper** — free tier: set `GROQ_API_KEY`\\n3. **OpenAI Whisper** — paid: set `VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY`\\n4. **Mistral Voxtral** — set `MISTRAL_API_KEY`\\n\\nConfig:\\n```yaml\\nstt:\\n  enabled: true\\n  provider: local        # local, groq, openai, mistral\\n  local:\\n    model: base          # tiny, base, small, medium, large-v3\\n```\\n\\n### TTS (Text → Voice)\\n\\n| Provider | Env var | Free? |\\n|----------|---------|-------|\\n| Edge TTS | None | Yes (default) |\\n| ElevenLabs | `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | Free tier |\\n| OpenAI | `VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY` | Paid |\\n| MiniMax | `MINIMAX_API_KEY` | Paid |\\n| Mistral (Voxtral) | `MISTRAL_API_KEY` | Paid |\\n| NeuTTS (local) | None (`pip install neutts[all]` + `espeak-ng`) | Free |\\n\\nVoice commands: `/voice on` (voice-to-voice), `/voice tts` (always voice), `/voice off`.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Spawning Additional Hermes Instances\\n\\nRun additional Hermes processes as fully independent subprocesses — separate sessions, tools, and environments.\\n\\n### When to Use This vs delegate_task\\n\\n| | `delegate_task` | Spawning `hermes` process |\\n|-|-----------------|--------------------------|\\n| Isolation | Separate conversation, shared process | Fully independent process |\\n| Duration | Minutes (bounded by parent loop) | Hours/days |\\n| Tool access | Subset of parent's tools | Full tool access |\\n| Interactive | No | Yes (PTY mode) |\\n| Use case | Quick parallel subtasks | Long autonomous missions |\\n\\n### One-Shot Mode\\n\\n```\\nterminal(command=\\\"hermes chat -q 'Research GRPO papers and write summary to ~/research/grpo.md'\\\", timeout=300)\\n\\n# Background for long tasks:\\nterminal(command=\\\"hermes chat -q 'Set up CI/CD for ~/myapp'\\\", background=true)\\n```\\n\\n### Interactive PTY Mode (via tmux)\\n\\nHermes uses prompt_toolkit, which requires a real terminal. Use tmux for interactive spawning:\\n\\n```\\n# Start\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s agent1 -x 120 -y 40 'hermes'\\\", timeout=10)\\n\\n# Wait for startup, then send a message\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Build a FastAPI auth service' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Read output\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 20 && tmux capture-pane -t agent1 -p\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Send follow-up\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Add rate limiting middleware' Enter\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Exit\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 '/exit' Enter && sleep 2 && tmux kill-session -t agent1\\\", timeout=10)\\n```\\n\\n### Multi-Agent Coordination\\n\\n```\\n# Agent A: backend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s backend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t backend 'Build REST API for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Agent B: frontend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s frontend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Build React dashboard for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Check progress, relay context between them\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux capture-pane -t backend -p | tail -30\\\", timeout=5)\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Here is the API schema from the backend agent: ...' Enter\\\", timeout=5)\\n```\\n\\n### Session Resume\\n\\n```\\n# Resume most recent session\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s resumed 'hermes --continue'\\\", timeout=10)\\n\\n# Resume specific session\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s resumed 'hermes --resume 20260225_143052_a1b2c3'\\\", timeout=10)\\n```\\n\\n### Tips\\n\\n- **Prefer `delegate_task` for quick subtasks** — less overhead than spawning a full process\\n- **Use `-w` (worktree mode)** when spawning agents that edit code — prevents git conflicts\\n- **Set timeouts** for one-shot mode — complex tasks can take 5-10 minutes\\n- **Use `hermes chat -q` for fire-and-forget** — no PTY needed\\n- **Use tmux for interactive sessions** — raw PTY mode has `\\\\r` vs `\\\\n` issues with prompt_toolkit\\n- **For scheduled tasks**, use the `cronjob` tool instead of spawning — handles delivery and retry\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Troubleshooting\\n\\n### Voice not working\\n1. Check `stt.enabled: true` in config.yaml\\n2. Verify provider: `pip install faster-whisper` or set API key\\n3. In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n\\n### Tool not available\\n1. `hermes tools` — check if toolset is enabled for your platform\\n2. Some tools need env vars (check `.env`)\\n3. `/reset` after enabling tools\\n\\n### Model/provider issues\\n1. `hermes doctor` — check config and dependencies\\n2. `hermes login` — re-authenticate OAuth providers\\n3. Check `.env` has the right API key\\n4. **Copilot 403**: `gh auth login` tokens do NOT work for Copilot API. You must use the Copilot-specific OAuth device code flow via `hermes model` → GitHub Copilot.\\n\\n### Changes not taking effect\\n- **Tools/skills:** `/reset` starts a new session with updated toolset\\n- **Config changes:** In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n- **Code changes:** Restart the CLI or gateway process\\n\\n### Skills not showing\\n1. `hermes skills list` — verify installed\\n2. `hermes skills config` — check platform enablement\\n3. Load explicitly: `/skill name` or `hermes -s name`\\n\\n### Gateway issues\\nCheck logs first:\\n```bash\\ngrep -i \\\"failed to send\\\\|error\\\" ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -20\\n```\\n\\nCommon gateway problems:\\n- **Gateway dies on SSH logout**: Enable linger: `sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER`\\n- **Gateway dies on WSL2 close**: WSL2 requires `systemd=true` in `/etc/wsl.conf` for systemd services to work. Without it, gateway falls back to `nohup` (dies when session closes).\\n- **Gateway crash loop**: Reset the failed state: `systemctl --user reset-failed hermes-gateway`\\n\\n### Platform-specific issues\\n- **Discord bot silent**: Must enable **Message Content Intent** in Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents.\\n- **Slack bot only works in DMs**: Must subscribe to `message.channels` event.

 ## Roles
 1. **A/B PM agent for LFCS.** Read-only on `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` (USER.md, TOOLS.md, lfcs-standards/, Jobs/). Write own state to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/`.
+2. **Workspace split with OpenClaw OpsMan:**
+   - **OpsMan** (`clawdbot-opsman`): owns `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` — writes Job Trackers, RFI registers, variation registers, dockets, daily diaries, email drafts. This is the foreman's primary working directory.
+   - **Hermes** (this agent): reads `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/` for context; writes to `/home/ccuser/hermes-work/` for its own state. Do NOT write to opsman-work — that is OpsMan's territory.
+   - Both agents share the same Airtable base (`LFCS-Operations`, `appE43UvTyARe5oJs`) via MCP.
+   - Both agents can read the team vault at `/home/ccuser/rateright-growth/HQ-Vault/`.

 ## Scope: capture & recall, not analysis
 - DO: log diary/hours/photos/dockets/RFIs into the right register, remind, recall.

P3 and P5 done. Here's the full scorecard:

**COMPLETED:**
| | Fix | Status |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | OpenClaw OpsMan Airtable MCP wired | ✅ |
| P2 | Hermes `lfcs.jobs_root` → parent folder (Ongoing + Upcoming visible) | ✅ |
| P3 | `display.personality` → `concise` (was `kawaii`) | ✅ |
| P5 | SOUL.md workspace split documented | ✅ |
| — | Both services restarted and confirmed `active` | ✅ |

**REMAINING:**
| | Issue | Blocker |
|---|---|---|
| P4 | WhatsApp bridge `enabled: false` — not yet configured | Needs your WhatsApp credentials / link to proceed |

**What's left to grill me on:** the vault review itself is done. The two agents are both live, both wired to Airtable, crons are healthy, and the config drifts I found are fixed.

Ready for your questions.

Explanation:
Both P3 and P5 are done. Now let me confirm what we've completed and what's left:

**Done:**
- ✅ P1: OpenClaw OpsMan Airtable MCP wired
- ✅ P2: Hermes `lfcs.jobs_root` → `/home/ccuser/opsman-work/Jobs` (parent, covers Ongoing + Upcoming)
- ✅ P3: `display.personality` → `concise` (was `kawaii`)
- ✅ P5: SOUL.md workspace split clarified

**Still pending:**
- 🟡 P4: WhatsApp bridge — `enabled: false` in OpenClaw config. Need to ask Rocky.

- I should document what's been completed and give Rocky a clear status update before we move forward.
