hermes-windows-lab

Public learning lab for running Hermes Agent on Windows — notes, safe samples, and small scripts.

Owner: monerostar
Visibility: public
Not this repo: full Hermes profile backups, sessions, API keys, wallets, or live configs with secrets.

What this is

A calm place to:

• learn Git/GitHub with real Hermes-related work
• document Windows multi-profile setup (main vs tech, etc.)
• keep sanitized skill samples and helper scripts
• build a portfolio-shaped project without dumping the whole machine

What this is not

Avoid here	Why
HERMES_HOME full copy	secrets + personal history
.env, OAuth tokens, keyrings	credential leak risk
xmrig configs with wallets/pools	privacy / security
chat session databases	personal + bulky

Use a separate private backup flow for disaster recovery (monerostar/hermes-backup). This lab stays readable and teachable.
