Automation Blueprints

Automation Blueprints are ready-to-run automations. Pick one, fill in a couple of fields, and Hermes schedules it as a cron job — no cron syntax required.

Every blueprint works from every surface:

• Dashboard / desktop app — open the Cron page, switch to the Blueprints tab, fill the form, and click Schedule it.
• CLI, TUI, and messengers — type /blueprint <name> (e.g. /blueprint morning-brief) and Hermes asks you for what it needs, one question at a time, then schedules it. The name match is forgiving — a prefix or near-spelling resolves. Power users can skip the questions by passing values inline: /blueprint morning-brief time=08:00.
• Desktop app — click Send to App on any blueprint and it opens with the command pre-loaded in your composer.

Blueprints never schedule anything silently — you always confirm before the job is created. Manage created jobs anytime with /cron.

Writing your own

A blueprint is just a skill with a metadata.hermes.blueprint block in its SKILL.md frontmatter. See Creating Skills → Automation Blueprints for the slot schema and how to publish one.
