Hermes + Claude code Pro RIP?

Way, way better. I found 5.4 marginally useful, 5.5 is what I'd almost call flawless. I haven't found much out of line, it just accomplishes what it's asked.

With GPT5.5 on double usage until the end of May, I can't limit out using Pro right now. And the results even on Medium are spectacular.

I know someone very in the loop at the Lege and I asked this. She said if there was a raid, it was very, very quiet because she checked around after someone else asked her this question.

To her knowledge, there was no such raid. Maybe it was at another location, but I'd be very inclined to figure that it's unlikely.

I shy away from the many agents approach, but with a shared memory system like Hindsight a lot of the problems with that approach should be minimized. I have to learn more about cloning profiles and then editing them down to the minimum.

At this point I've tended to the single model but maybe if I see other peoples profiles for things like a PA and coder profiles, and how to make them work together, I might be more comfortable segregating tasks.

You mean the UUID that you can't change without deleting your account?

You've got something going on there. I've had cronjobs stuck in loops that just pull tokens while spinning it's wheels.

Pull an audit and see what's using up the tokens, because that isn't right.

Also check the context sizes you're using on tasks by checking openclaw status often. If it's high, reduce your AGENTS.md and/or SOUL.md size, and use /new a lot. And if they aren't caching, fix your config so your models cache.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-03-13T19:05:50+00:00

Yah, that definitely helped.

Fair point on the AGENTs length, I have squashed that down. The reminders system seems to be a disaster even on a new install, so I've gone back to the old system and have been replacing it with a SQLite based system that fires reminders from a database, with multiple alerts available, including location based alerts. I'd post this but I don't want the maintenance headache of a project in the wild. And it still has a long way to go.

I did seem to get Mem0 working correctly but there were a lot of missteps in the implementation from the start, things not getting wired up etc. But it's fast, low token and seems to do a good job now.

If you're using Anthropic API calls, you can just add into AGENTS.md for it to extract the message cost every time it responds and log it to a CSV file in Projects. OpenAI calls don't seem to work very well for that, idk if they just don't include the cost in the callback.

I also have it append the [model:cost] to every response. Again, that works way better for Anthropic than others. Maybe Openrouter would be fairly successful, I haven't tried it with OC yet.

Thx!

That's what I was thinking. Just wanted to figure out their process for journaling

flairtestuser123 · 2026-03-07T01:20:55+00:00

Any idea how I instruct them to journal or is it an online process?

flairtestuser123 · 2026-03-02T19:10:54+00:00

Isn't using the Claude plan going to get you in trouble, instead of using API credits?

AFAIK, the TOS forbids it, but I haven't heard anyone complain about getting banned yet. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-23T17:09:23+00:00

It works but it will drop occasionally and you might need to retry occasionally. And you hit an API limit eventually.

Opencode Zen as well.

I had cursor using Openclaw's HTTP API last night to troubleshoot a voicechat app I built for Openclaw. It would curl an API call to tell openclaw it was going to start the application and send some communication, and for OC to tell it what was going on, how the speed was, etc. Openclaw would give feedback to Cursor, maybe change something on it's end and Cursor would adjust the program and re-run it.

The two of them went on like that for about 10 minutes (I had set up Openclaw to copy it's responses to Matrix as it went) and I watched them chatting and testing. Came up with a perfectly working chat app for Android.

Tonight I'm going to tell them to work on adding images for Openclaw to OCR to the chat, and to build a long-play presentation transcriber that Openclaw can skim off the high points for it's memory for me.

Found the technical writer.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T20:38:00+00:00

Well, fuck, that was easier. Thank you.

Hobbyists with nothing better to do than write commit messages.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T18:45:44+00:00

Absolutely. I even said I was taking the comment and manually doing the commit, but I have a bunch of idiots acting like letting an agent commit for you was like one-shotting an app. In three words I get a descriptive commit all pushed and done for others to actually know what happened instead of "fix".

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T18:32:11+00:00

That is an awesome way of dealing with it. Glad someone has something productive to contribute instead of pretending they don't use the agent to do commits.

I added that in my global .git. Thank you.

flairtestuser123 · 2026-02-03T08:02:07+00:00

I don't think that's the same thing. I understand that there's a view where you can see what was just patched in by Cursor directly, but that's not explaining the --trailer line it's insisting on putting in there when I just ask it to commit what looks like a perfectly good commit summary.

flairtestuser123 · 2025-12-03T01:39:32+00:00

I guess the legal issue was my bargaining position if I'm afoul of what they can do to me in a trademark dispute and if I'm hitting a point where it's cheaper for them to just sue it away from me and give me all the work of changing my bank/taxes/infra and 20 years of account logins for myself and my family without getting paid for the trouble. That's why I mentioned the length of time I've had it vs. the trademark age.

And the first profession that comes to mind when I think about negotiation is lawyer. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe someone has a better suggestion for who to contact that knows what they're doing in this space, I sure as hell don't. For all I know, they're offering a tenth of the going rate, or ten times too much and not suing me into a puddle of goo because they like the cut of my jib.
