What is Hermes Agent?
Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework by Nous Research. Built for autonomous task execution, it supports flexible LLM backends (local models, OpenAI, Claude, and more), structured tool calling, and multi-step planning.
Unlike simple chatbots, Hermes Agent can execute tools — meaning it can take actions in the real world. With StickyHive's CLI installed as a skill, Hermes Agent gains the ability to manage your Skool community: scheduling posts, creating workflows, running DM campaigns, and more — all autonomously.
Key strengths: Open-source, self-hostable, supports any LLM backend, extensible tool/skill system, and grows with your automation needs.
What Hermes Agent Can Do with Skool
Once connected via StickyHive's CLI, Hermes Agent has full access to your Skool community operations:
Schedule & Publish Posts
Create posts with titles, rich content, scheduling times, polls, pins, and auto-first-comments. Hermes Agent handles the full lifecycle.
Batch Content Operations
Schedule multiple posts at once with even spacing. Turn a content plan into a live calendar in one agent action.
Build Automations
Create trigger-condition-action workflows that run on autopilot — welcome messages, role assignments, event-based DMs.
DM Sequence Campaigns
Build multi-step direct message sequences with delays and conditions. Perfect for onboarding, nurturing, and re-engagement.
Community Discovery
List all connected communities and their spaces. Hermes Agent can target specific spaces for different content types.
Manage Automation State
Enable, disable, or modify workflows and sequences on the fly. Hermes Agent can adapt automations based on community signals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hermes Agent?
Hermes Agent is an open-source AI agent framework by Nous Research. It supports autonomous task execution with tool calling, flexible LLM backends (local models, OpenAI, Claude, etc.), and a skill/plugin system. It's designed for developers who want AI agents that can actually take actions — not just generate text.
Can Hermes Agent manage my Skool community?
Yes. By installing StickyHive's CLI as a skill (npx skills add stickyhive/stickyhive-agent), Hermes Agent gains tools to schedule posts, create workflows, run DM sequences, and manage spaces in your Skool community. No official Skool API needed — StickyHive provides the bridge.
Does Skool have an API for Hermes Agent?
Skool has no official first-party API. The third-party SkoolAPI offers limited webhooks but can't schedule posts, automate workflows, or run DM sequences. StickyHive's CLI provides the full integration layer that lets Hermes Agent (or any AI agent) manage Skool communities programmatically.
What LLM models work with Hermes Agent?
Hermes Agent is model-agnostic. You can use Nous Research's own Hermes models (via Ollama or llama.cpp), OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude, Mistral, or any other compatible LLM. The StickyHive integration works regardless of which model powers your agent.
Is this self-hostable?
Yes. Hermes Agent is fully open-source and can run on your own infrastructure. The StickyHive CLI connects to StickyHive's cloud service (which handles the Skool bridge), but the agent itself runs wherever you want — your laptop, a server, or CI/CD pipelines.
How much does it cost?
Hermes Agent is free and open-source. StickyHive offers a 14-day free trial with full CLI access (no credit card required). After the trial, plans start at $29/month and include API/CLI access for all connected communities.
