Hermes Agent Made Crystal Clear · chapter 3: Core Concepts: The Learning Loop

The learning loop

2026-08-27

Everything in this chapter is one idea seen from four angles. The agent runs a task, notices it succeeded, keeps what is worth keeping, and reaches for it again later. The value is that each lap leaves the next lap a little easier. Here is the full cycle before we walk the parts.
