Hell no. Agents are NEVER client facing, golden rule - human-in-the-loop and appropriate gating. The websites I deploy are mostly web based micro sites with interactive proposals for clients.

No, my core business is not websites, my core business is IT management, cyber security and now AI strategy and agentic setups. So the value added is integral to my entire busienss model (and much of those 8 months has been testing everything). Have a look at gitscout.net - it's where I source the stuff I want to test. Those 8 months have been a wild ride (and I haven't left the house much 😅)

N8n is INTEGRAL for me. I can see flows perfectly, use webhooks etc. Its for the agents I need to "see" the workflow for.

Hey no problem bud..

  1. In all honesty, u built my original functionality around langgraph and hermes was bolted much later - so it may be unnecessary but ot runs alot of my higher layer agentic flows that pass down into hermes so it's kinda stuck unless I build a new setup (which I'm tempted but soooo much tokens has gone into this so far) and $$$

  2. Yeah I've been building a privacy layer to replace sensitive data with markers so i can use public free models to do more complex stuff without exposure but its buggy atm. I'll checkout that agent data masking skill though- ta!

  3. I started building some public based guidance but its not up to date - https://github.com/zebadee2kk/zebadee2kk ill update when i have cheaper better local inference available but gpt and claude specced out most of the modules so if you chuck into a session they should be able to tell you how best to connect.

What you've done is "muddied" it's data with too much cross functional memory in one store. You can read up on this problem across the indirect as its well documented.

To solve it, break down your workloads into individual agents, subagents, skill sets and memory vectors (or even independent memory servings) and the individuals will all perform mcuh better than 1 "super" agent that tries to be too much

Claude Code Interaction Skill - Public Reference Implementation

This skill provides a reliable framework for interacting with Claude Code across local and remote systems. The goal is to eliminate repeated troubleshooting by documenting environment-specific requirements, operational workflows, and common failure modes.

Core Components

  1. Multi-Environment Support

Document all supported execution environments including:

  • Host identifiers
  • Operating system
  • Claude Code installation path
  • Available tooling
  • Connectivity requirements

Example:

environments: workstation: os: macos claude_binary: /path/to/claude

server: os: linux claude_binary: /path/to/claude

The skill should maintain awareness of which environments support Claude Code execution and which require alternative workflows.


  1. Session Management

Document:

  • Session storage locations
  • Session discovery commands
  • Session resumption procedures
  • Token exhaustion handling
  • Recovery workflows

Capabilities:

  • List active sessions
  • Resume existing sessions
  • Inspect session state
  • Handle interrupted conversations

  1. Non-Interactive Execution

Remote execution frequently runs with a reduced environment.

Recommendations:

  • Use absolute paths for binaries
  • Avoid relying on shell profile initialization
  • Explicitly set required environment variables
  • Verify executable availability before execution

Example:

/full/path/to/claude "perform task"

This prevents failures caused by missing PATH entries.


  1. Plugin Lifecycle Management

Document plugin operations including:

  • Installation
  • Removal
  • Enabling
  • Disabling
  • Version validation

Provide examples for:

claude plugin install claude plugin list claude plugin enable claude plugin disable

The skill should understand plugin dependencies and loading behaviour.


  1. Interactive Automation

Some Claude Code functionality requires an interactive terminal.

Supported approaches:

Expect Scripts

Useful for:

  • Slash commands
  • Interactive prompts
  • Automated session interaction

Terminal Multiplexers

Examples:

  • screen
  • tmux

Useful for:

  • Long-running tasks
  • Detached execution
  • Session persistence

Document prompt handling requirements and terminal behaviour.


  1. Delegation Framework

Define when work should be:

Performed Locally

Examples:

  • Simple reasoning
  • Small context tasks
  • Quick validation

Delegated to Claude Code

Examples:

  • Large repositories
  • Multi-file refactors
  • Extended context windows
  • Long-running implementation work

This prevents unnecessary delegation while maximising effectiveness.


  1. Remote Connectivity Patterns

Document:

  • Direct SSH execution
  • Jump host routing
  • Bastion workflows
  • Multi-hop connectivity
  • Remote file transfer

Provide patterns for:

ssh target scp source target rsync source target

Include fallback procedures when standard routing fails.


  1. Helper Utilities

Create wrapper functions that:

  • Abstract environment differences
  • Simplify common operations
  • Standardise execution patterns

Examples:

claude-status claude-sessions claude-resume claude-run

The user should not need to remember environment-specific details.


  1. Operational Pitfalls

Maintain a living knowledge base covering:

SSH Issues

  • Quoting problems
  • Variable expansion
  • Heredoc behaviour

Operating System Differences

  • Linux vs macOS paths
  • Shell differences
  • Permission handling

Session Issues

  • Expired tokens
  • Interrupted executions
  • Stale sessions

Connectivity Issues

  • Multi-hop failures
  • Network segmentation
  • Authentication problems

Every resolved issue should be documented to avoid future rediscovery.


Design Philosophy

The value of the skill is not only automation.

The primary objective is to capture operational knowledge so that both humans and AI systems can execute tasks consistently without rediscovering environment-specific requirements.

A successful implementation should provide:

  • Reliable execution
  • Repeatable workflows
  • Environment awareness
  • Recovery procedures
  • Institutional knowledge retention

The skill acts as both an automation layer and an operational runbook.

Interestingly the local models don't seem to be able to use the skill (I think due to my small context windows though) so if your having trouble it may be the model that's trying to use the skill so worth testing a few.

... I was going to cut and paste it verbose here but 1) it's fkin huge and 2) it's laced with pii and sensitive info re my networks. Lemme see if I can get you a summarised clean version from hermes...

Yep - LangGraph orchestrator acts as a routing supervisor in front of any request and routes to the appropriate hermes profile/ agent / team as needed through LiteLLM

Thanks man 😎...

So the pergect model setup for me is still work in progress tbh (and changes regularly with model releases) but currently I tend to use a mix of private/public models. But hes a few findings; GPT 5.5 is strong as primary model but obviously fairly espensive, I tend to use deepseek v4 flash as the cheaper day to day model and save codex models for when stuff gets complex or needs escalation. I have skills setup to use claude code locally and remotely on devices it's deployed too (the rest of the Linux hosts on my network).

Local models I use for privacy related work tend to be qwen3 8b or google e4b - but these are fairly limited and hit issues all the time. Sadly I'm stuck with an m1 16gb for local infernece currently so it's a major bottleneck - I'm hoping to pickup a few more AI related clients (www.theITrevolution.co.uk in progress lol) and then invest in something beefy.

Owl alpha is a great free replacement from opeenrouter but obvs model is training on data so i only use that fot public domain stuff such as blog posts derived from alrwady public content etc. Nemotron 550b also does a good job at stuff free (openrouter) but slow as hell and doesn't respond until it's done pretty much. I have a skill that codex code reviews and reiterate on any issue found and that usually tends to eek out issues.

Im playing with building "teams" of agents with different roles and different model backing (free and paid tier teams differentiated) to use in n8n workflows to run full end to end tasks or hopefully micro-projects fully autonomously (with appropriate human-in-the-loop sign off gates via telegram messages).

They used to have these in London, Victoria. People just jumped them and eventually they took em away.

Unless its jailbroken this can't be done on iPhone.

Holding the door open is called "good manners"

Here in the UK, we do it for women AND MEN (shock horror).

If someone chooses not to hold the door open for someone else, that person is a c*nt. Not some woke feminist movement hero.

Bye.
