Speedrun Guide

The fastest path from zero to Olympian. Configuration, batch unlock strategy, daily habits.

step 1

Interactively enable all toolsets via hermes tools, or enable them one by one.

hermes tools
# or enable one by one:
hermes tools enable web
hermes tools enable browser
hermes tools enable terminal
hermes tools enable file
hermes tools enable vision
hermes tools enable tts
hermes tools enable skills
hermes tools enable memory
hermes tools enable delegation
hermes tools enable cronjob

step 2

Multi-Provider Setup

Configure multiple API keys in ~/.hermes/.env to unlock Model Lore achievements.

# ~/.hermes/.env
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=AIza...
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=sk-...

hermes chat -m anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 "hello"
hermes chat -m google/gemini-2.5-pro "hello"

step 3

Batch Unlock Strategy

Start a complex full-stack project task. One large autonomous run can unlock 10+ achievements simultaneously.

Build a full-featured task management app with Next.js + Tailwind. Include: auth, CRUD, database, responsive design, dark theme, unit tests, Docker deployment, CI/CD. git commit and push when done.
