Tidy Hermes Workspace Hygiene

What it does

This proficiency enforces workspace hygiene for Hermes agents: it ensures file creations, edits, moves, and deletions follow git-aware routing, avoids orphaned files, and requires approvals for destructive or high-impact operations. The skill provides mode-driven procedures, risk classes, and checklists, and links to support files for publishing and destructive-operation SOPs.

When to use it

Load before any agent action that can write, move, delete, sync, or publish durable files — or before touching git state or skill source/runtime trees. It is not needed for read-only answers or ephemeral temp work.

What's included

• Scripts: none required; this is a procedural/proficiency skill with reference mode files.
• References: extensive reference files and templates for modes (normal workspace, protected wiki, destructive operations, publishing) and a workspace verification checklist.
• Instructions: clear runtime contract, invocation contract, risk classes, and step-by-step workflow for classifying mode, checking safety state, routing before writing, preferring least-risky edits, and verifying changes.

Compatible agents

Intended for Hermes-style agents or any agent runtime that performs filesystem/git operations and supports decision/interactivity tooling (AskUserQuestion, patch/write_file, terminal).
