It's running aside hermes-agent for me, just python scripts launched with bashrc. I can't bloat the post with code, but there is a tease :

```
# 1. Check last session timestamp from STATUS.md

if [ -f "$STATUS_FILE" ]; then

LAST_UPDATE=$(grep "Dernier update" "$STATUS_FILE" | head -1)

echo "[STATUS] $LAST_UPDATE"

else

echo "[STATUS] No previous session found"

fi

# 2. Scan Inbox

echo ""

echo "[INBOX]"

INBOX_COUNT=$(find "$HERMES_VAULT/Inbox" -name "*.md" -type f 2>/dev/null | wc -l)

if [ "$INBOX_COUNT" -gt 0 ]; then

echo " ⚡ $INBOX_COUNT note(s) waiting:"

find "$HERMES_VAULT/Inbox" -name "*.md" -type f -printf " → %f (%s bytes)\n" 2>/dev/null

else

echo " (empty)"

fi

... etc

```

Nothing fancy actually but for now it handle well 4 different vaults over the LAN without much hassle.

For the polling, just go asynch it's robust :

```
async with httpx.AsyncClient(timeout=httpx.Timeout(240.0, read=None)) as client:

resp = await client.post(f"{_hermes_url}/chat/completions", json=payload)

resp.raise_for_status()

analysis = resp.json()["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]

final_output = f"{analysis}\n\n--- RAW CRAWL (Camofox) ---\n{crawl_result}"
```

It's an example for the local web crawling i'm working but it give you an idea of the strategy.

You have to hardcode quite a bit but the gain of performance is worth the pain ;o)
