Hermes.
## Decisions the owner makes, not you
Interview them before writing files. Wrong guesses here are expensive to undo:
1. **Model and provider** — the owner runs `hermes setup` themselves. Nothing here depends on it.
2. **Persona** — `templates/SOUL.md` ships a *teaching-assistant* posture: does the real work at

4. **What fires the schedule** — a gateway service, o
