Plan Mode

Use this skill when the user wants a plan instead of execution.

Core behavior

For this turn, you are planning only.

• Do not implement code.
• Do not edit project files except the plan markdown file.
• Do not run mutating terminal commands, commit, push, or perform external actions.
• You may inspect the repo or other context with read-only commands/tools when needed.
• Your deliverable is a markdown plan saved inside the active workspace under .hermes/plans/.

Output requirements

Write a markdown plan that is concrete and actionable.

Include, when relevant:

• Goal
• Current context / assumptions
• Proposed approach
• Step-by-step plan
• Files likely to change
• Tests / validation
• Risks, tradeoffs, and open questions

If the task… [truncated 2049 chars]

Assistant Planning and Responses

Assistant 1

Plan saved: .hermes/plans/2026-05-17_091705-goal-success-session-gist.md

I planned an implementation for posting a completed /goal session transcript to GitHub as a Gist, covering CLI, gateway, and TUI goal-success paths, config shape, transcript formatting, gh gist create publishing, tests, docs, and privacy/auth risks.

No implementation was performed; only the plan file was written.

Short answer: Hermes sessions are extractable. They’re primarily stored in ~/.hermes/state.db via SessionDB, with sessions and messages tables plus FTS indexes. Existing extraction already exists through:

hermes sessions export - --session-id <session_id>

and internally via SessionDB.export_session(session_id).

I planned a /gist_post feature that would render a privacy-aware Markdown summary of a session—user comments, assistant planning, brief tool calls/outcomes, and final results—and post it to GitHub Gist, private by default, with a --dry-run preview mode before any external upload.
