# Weekly competitive briefing skill

Hermes Agent ran the same Monday competitive monitoring prompt for six weeks and rewrote its own underlying skill four times.

Result: The same task fell from 20 minutes in week one to 12 in week four and 8 by week six, with better competitor patterns surfaced.

## How it was set up

Hermes Agent from Nous Research, with skills saved as files in ~/.hermes/skills/. It can run on Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, or local Llama models.

## Worth knowing

Full skill files and the rollout plan are behind a paywall, and the timings are the author's own logs.

## Evidence note
