Prompt: Link, i want you to deep research this video. use any skills you need, get the transcript, study what it discusses, the systems the llms, the ais, the methods, the tools, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpBgBNzb2pY then tell me what we need to do, to build it ourselves on the mac mini that you are hosted on.

List OpenClaw agent ids you can target with `sessions_spawn` when `runtime="subagent"` (based on subagent allowlists).

canvas

Control node canvases (present/hide/navigate/eval/snapshot/A2UI). Use snapshot to capture the rendered UI.

edit

Edit a single file using exact text replacement. Every edits[].oldText must match a unique, non-overlapping region of the original file. If two changes affect the same block or nearby lines, merge them into one edit instead of emitting overlapping edits. Do not include large unchanged regions just to connect distant changes.

Path to the file to edit (relative or absolute)

One or more targeted replacements. Each edit is matched against the original file, not incrementally. Do not include overlapping or nested edits. If two changes touch the same block or nearby lines, merge them into one edit instead.

exec

Execute shell commands with background continuation for work that starts now. Use yieldMs/background to continue later via process tool. For long-running work started now, rely on automatic completion wake when it is enabled and the command emits output or fails; otherwise use process to confirm completion. Use process whenever you need logs, status, input, or intervention. Use pty=true for TTY-required commands (terminal UIs, coding agents).

Shell command to execute

Working directory (defaults to cwd)

Milliseconds to wait before backgrounding (default 10000)

Run in background immediately

Timeout in seconds (optional, kills process on expiry)

Run in a pseudo-terminal (PTY) when available (TTY-required CLIs, coding agents)

Run on the host with elevated permissions (if allowed)

Exec host/target (auto|sandbox|gateway|node).

Exec security mode (deny|allowlist|full).

Exec ask mode (off|on-miss|always).

Node id/name for host=node.

image

Analyze one or more images with a vision model. Use image for a single path/URL, or images for multiple (up to 20). Only use this tool when images were NOT already provided in the user's message. Images mentioned in the prompt are automatically visible to you.

Single image path or URL.

Multiple image paths or URLs (up to maxImages, default 20).

Safe exact excerpt read from MEMORY.md or memory/*.md. Defaults to a bounded excerpt when lines are omitted, includes truncation/continuation info when more content exists, and `corpus=wiki` reads from registered compiled-wiki supplements.

Mandatory recall step: semantically search MEMORY.md + memory/*.md (and optional session transcripts) before answering questions about prior work, decisions, dates, people, preferences, or todos. Optional `corpus=wiki` or `corpus=all` also searches registered compiled-wiki supplements. `corpus=memory` restricts hits to indexed memory files (excludes session transcript chunks from ranking). `corpus=sessions` restricts hits to indexed session transcripts (same visibility rules as session history tools). If response has disabled=true, memory retrieval is unavailable and should be surfaced to the user.

message

Send, delete, and manage messages via channel plugins. Supports actions: react, send.

Recipient/channel: E.164 for WhatsApp/Signal, Telegram chat id/@username, Discord/Slack/Mattermost <channelId|user:ID|channel:ID>, or iMessage handle/chat_id

Message effect name/id for sendWithEffect (e.g., invisible ink).

Alias for effectId (e.g., invisible-ink, balloons).

Media URL or local path. data: URLs are not supported here, use buffer.

Base64 payload for attachments (optionally a data: URL).

Quote text for Telegram reply_parameters

Send image/GIF as document to avoid Telegram compression (Telegram only).

Send image/GIF as document to avoid Telegram compression. Alias for forceDocument (Telegram only).

Target message id for read, reaction, edit, delete, pin, or unpin. If omitted for reaction-like actions, defaults to the current inbound message id when available.

snake_case alias of messageId. If omitted for reaction-like actions, defaults to the current inbound message id when available.

When true for a reaction to the current inbound message, use that reacted message as the status-reaction target for subsequent tool progress when the channel supports it.

snake_case alias of trackToolCalls.

Poll answer id to vote for. Use when the channel exposes stable answer ids.

1-based poll option number to vote for, matching the rendered numbered poll choices.

Channel id filter (search/thread list/event create).

Chat id for chat-scoped metadata actions.

pdf

Analyze one or more PDF documents with a model. Supports native PDF analysis for Anthropic and Google models, with text/image extraction fallback for other providers. Use pdf for a single path/URL, or pdfs for multiple (up to 10). Provide a prompt describing what to analyze.

Single PDF path or URL.

Multiple PDF paths or URLs (up to 10).

Page range to process, e.g. "1-5", "1,3,5-7". Defaults to all pages.

process

Manage running exec sessions for commands already started: list, poll, log, write, send-keys, submit, paste, kill. Use poll/log when you need status, logs, quiet-success confirmation, or completion confirmation when automatic completion wake is unavailable. Use write/send-keys/submit/paste/kill for input or intervention.

Process action

Session id for actions other than list

Data to write for write

Key tokens to send for send-keys

Hex bytes to send for send-keys

Literal string for send-keys

Text to paste for paste

Wrap paste in bracketed mode

Close stdin after write

Log offset

Log length

For poll: wait up to this many milliseconds before returning; max 30000 ms, higher values are clamped to 30000

read

Read the contents of a file. Supports text files and images (jpg, png, gif, webp). Images are sent as attachments. For text files, output is truncated to 2000 lines or 50KB (whichever is hit first). Use offset/limit for large files. When you need the full file, continue with offset until complete.

Path to the file to read (relative or absolute)

Line number to start reading from (1-indexed)

Maximum number of lines to read

Show a /status-equivalent session status card for the current or another visible session, including usage, time, cost when available, and linked background task context. Use `sessionKey="current"` for the current session; do not use UI/client labels such as `openclaw-tui` as session keys. Optional `model` sets a per-session model override; `model=default` resets overrides. Use this for questions like what model is active or how a session is configured.

Fetch sanitized message history for a visible session. Supports limits and optional tool messages; use this to inspect another session before replying, debugging, or resuming work.

List visible sessions with optional filters for kind, label, agentId, search, recent activity, derived titles, and last-message previews. Use this to discover a target session before calling sessions_history or sessions_send.

Send a message into another visible session by sessionKey or label. Thread-scoped chat sessions are rejected; target the parent channel session for inter-agent coordination. Use this to delegate follow-up work to an existing session; waits for the target run and returns the updated assistant reply when available.

Spawn a clean isolated session by default with the native subagent runtime. `mode="run"` is one-shot background work. Subagents inherit the parent workspace directory automatically. For native subagents only, set `context="fork"` when the child needs the current transcript context; otherwise omit it or use `context="isolated"`. Use this when the work should happen in a fresh child session instead of the current one.

Native subagent context mode. Omit or use "isolated" for a clean child session; use "fork" only when the child needs the requester transcript context.

When true, spawned subagent runs use lightweight bootstrap context. Only applies to runtime='subagent'.

End your current turn. Use after spawning subagents to receive their results as the next message.

subagents

List, kill, or steer spawned sub-agents for this requester session. Use this for sub-agent orchestration.

tts

Use only for explicit audio intent (audio, voice, speech, TTS) or active TTS config. Never use for ordinary text replies. Audio is delivered automatically from the tool result. After a successful call, follow the current conversation's reply instructions and avoid sending a duplicate text/audio response.

Text to convert to speech.

Optional channel id to pick output format.

Optional provider request timeout in milliseconds.

Fetch and extract readable content from a URL (HTML → markdown/text). Use for lightweight page access without browser automation.

HTTP or HTTPS URL to fetch.

Extraction mode ("markdown" or "text").

Maximum characters to return (truncates when exceeded).

Search the web. Returns provider-normalized results for current information lookup.

Search query string.

Number of results to return.

2-letter country code for region-specific results.

ISO 639-1 language code for results.

Filter by time: day, week, month, or year.

Only results published after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

Only results published before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

Brave search result language code.

Brave UI locale code in language-region format.

Perplexity native Search API domain filter.

Perplexity native Search API total content budget.

Now let me search for what the "Hermes" agent actually is on GitHub:

I've got the full picture. Let me put together the analysis.

Message too long for Stoat. Let me break it up:

Delivered the full analysis across three messages. The short version: we already have ~80% of what the video describes. The three things worth adding are self-generating skills, a nightly reflection cron, and a Firecrawl research skill.

Link, i want you to deep research this video. use any skills you need, get the transcript, study what it discusses, the systems the llms, the ais, the methods, the tools, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpBgBNzb2pY then tell me what we need to do, to build it ourselves on the mac mini that you are hosted on.

Brandon wants me to deep research a YouTube video, get the transcript, study what it discusses, and then tell him what we need to do to build it on the Mac mini. Let me start by fetching the video page to understand what it's about, then get the transcript.

it can correct the skill, and they're

or the user corrects the workflow. So
with<00:08:10.319><c> that</c><00:08:10.479><c> in</c><00:08:10.639><c> mind,</c><00:08:10.879><c> let's</c><00:08:11.120><c> actually</c><00:08:11.360><c> create</c>
with that in mind, let's actually create
a<00:08:11.759><c> skill</c><00:08:12.000><c> that's</c><00:08:12.319><c> going</c><00:08:12.400><c> to</c><00:08:12.560><c> be</c><00:08:12.639><c> super</c><00:08:12.960><c> useful</c>
a skill that's going to be super useful
for<00:08:13.360><c> a</c><00:08:13.440><c> lot</c><00:08:13.520><c> of</c><00:08:13.599><c> the</c><00:08:13.759><c> things</c><00:08:13.919><c> we</c><00:08:14.080><c> do,</c><00:08:14.319><c> which</c><00:08:14.479><c> is</c>
for a lot of the things we do, which is
research.<00:08:15.039><c> We're</c><00:08:15.199><c> out</c><00:08:15.280><c> and</c><00:08:15.440><c> about.</c><00:08:15.680><c> We're</c>
research. We're out and about. We're
thinking<00:08:16.000><c> about</c><00:08:16.240><c> things</c><00:08:16.560><c> and</c><00:08:16.800><c> I</c><00:08:16.960><c> always</c><00:08:17.120><c> think</c>
thinking about things and I always think
with<00:08:17.440><c> use</c><00:08:17.680><c> cases</c><00:08:18.000><c> these</c><00:08:18.240><c> things</c><00:08:18.800><c> I</c><00:08:18.960><c> like</c><00:08:19.120><c> to</c>
with use cases these things I like to
use<00:08:19.440><c> things</c><00:08:19.599><c> that</c><00:08:19.840><c> I</c><00:08:20.080><c> would</c><00:08:20.240><c> actually</c><00:08:20.560><c> use,</c>
use things that I would actually use,
right?<00:08:21.199><c> Like</c><00:08:21.440><c> building</c><00:08:21.759><c> graphics</c><00:08:22.080><c> and</c><00:08:22.319><c> stuff</c>
right? Like building graphics and stuff
looks<00:08:22.800><c> cool,</c><00:08:22.960><c> but</c><00:08:23.520><c> are</c><00:08:23.759><c> we</c><00:08:24.080><c> really</c><00:08:24.319><c> going</c><00:08:24.479><c> to</c>
looks cool, but are we really going to
use<00:08:24.879><c> it</c><00:08:24.960><c> all</c><00:08:25.120><c> the</c><00:08:25.280><c> time,</c><00:08:25.440><c> right?</c><00:08:25.759><c> So</c><00:08:26.080><c> one</c>
use it all the time, right? So one
example<00:08:26.560><c> would</c><00:08:26.720><c> be</c><00:08:26.879><c> in</c><00:08:27.039><c> doing</c><00:08:27.199><c> some</c><00:08:27.360><c> decent</c>
example would be in doing some decent
research.<00:08:28.080><c> I</c><00:08:28.240><c> always</c><00:08:28.400><c> use</c><00:08:28.560><c> firecraw</c><00:08:29.120><c> for</c>
research. I always use firecraw for
research<00:08:29.840><c> just</c><00:08:30.080><c> because</c><00:08:30.319><c> if</c><00:08:30.560><c> you're</c><00:08:30.720><c> using</c>
research just because if you're using
AI,<00:08:31.520><c> it's</c><00:08:31.840><c> 80%ish</c><00:08:32.880><c> cheaper</c><00:08:33.440><c> and</c><00:08:33.680><c> this</c>
AI, it's 80%ish cheaper and this
actually<00:08:34.159><c> goes</c><00:08:34.399><c> ahead</c><00:08:34.640><c> to</c><00:08:34.800><c> the</c><00:08:35.039><c> website</c><00:08:35.599><c> and</c>
actually goes ahead to the website and
can<00:08:36.000><c> scrape.</c><00:08:36.399><c> And</c><00:08:36.560><c> I</c><00:08:36.719><c> always</c><00:08:36.880><c> think</c><00:08:36.959><c> of</c><00:08:37.120><c> it</c><00:08:37.200><c> as</c>
can scrape. And I always think of it as
like<00:08:37.519><c> you're</c><00:08:37.680><c> talking</c><00:08:37.919><c> to</c><00:08:38.080><c> the</c><00:08:38.240><c> website.</c><00:08:38.719><c> So</c>
like you're talking to the website. So
all<00:08:39.039><c> you</c><00:08:39.120><c> do</c><00:08:39.279><c> is</c><00:08:39.440><c> add</c><00:08:39.599><c> the</c><00:08:39.760><c> API</c><00:08:40.159><c> key</c><00:08:40.560><c> in</c><00:08:40.800><c> your</c>
all you do is add the API key in your
environmental<00:08:41.599><c> variables</c><00:08:42.320><c> in</c><00:08:42.880><c> anti-gravity</c>
environmental variables in anti-gravity
or<00:08:43.839><c> claude</c><00:08:44.159><c> and</c><00:08:44.320><c> just</c><00:08:44.480><c> say</c><00:08:44.720><c> hey,</c><00:08:45.200><c> you</c><00:08:45.279><c> know,</c>
or claude and just say hey, you know,
save<00:08:45.600><c> this</c><00:08:45.760><c> API</c><00:08:46.160><c> key</c><00:08:46.320><c> and</c><00:08:46.480><c> it</c><00:08:46.720><c> stores</c><00:08:46.959><c> it</c><00:08:47.040><c> for</c>
save this API key and it stores it for
you<00:08:47.360><c> in</c><00:08:47.680><c> railway.</c><00:08:48.240><c> And</c><00:08:48.320><c> when</c><00:08:48.480><c> you've</c><00:08:48.640><c> done</c>
you in railway. And when you've done
that,<00:08:48.959><c> so</c><00:08:49.120><c> let's</c><00:08:49.279><c> go</c><00:08:49.360><c> ahead</c><00:08:49.519><c> and</c><00:08:49.760><c> test</c><00:08:49.920><c> this</c>
that, so let's go ahead and test this
out.<00:08:50.320><c> So</c><00:08:50.480><c> I'm</c><00:08:50.640><c> going</c><00:08:50.640><c> to</c><00:08:50.720><c> come</c><00:08:50.880><c> down</c><00:08:51.040><c> here</c><00:08:51.200><c> and</c>

hit the record button. Hey there. What
I'd<00:08:52.720><c> like</c><00:08:52.800><c> you</c><00:08:52.959><c> to</c><00:08:53.040><c> do</c><00:08:53.120><c> for</c><00:08:53.279><c> me</c><00:08:53.360><c> is</c><00:08:53.600><c> create</c><00:08:53.839><c> a</c>
I'd like you to do for me is create a
skill<00:08:54.480><c> using</c><00:08:54.800><c> firecrawl.</c><00:08:55.440><c> So</c><00:08:55.600><c> when</c><00:08:55.760><c> I</c><00:08:55.920><c> ask</c><00:08:56.080><c> you</c>
skill using firecrawl. So when I ask you
to<00:08:56.399><c> go</c><00:08:56.480><c> and</c><00:08:56.720><c> research</c><00:08:57.120><c> something,</c><00:08:57.760><c> I</c><00:08:58.000><c> want</c><00:08:58.080><c> you</c>
to go and research something, I want you

who like the product but want to be
better.<00:09:22.160><c> What</c><00:09:22.320><c> are</c><00:09:22.480><c> the</c><00:09:22.560><c> things</c><00:09:22.720><c> that</c><00:09:22.880><c> they're</c>

saying? Just let me know so I can get
some<00:09:24.560><c> ideas</c><00:09:24.880><c> to</c><00:09:25.440><c> improve</c><00:09:25.839><c> our</c><00:09:26.080><c> product,</c>
some ideas to improve our product,
right?<00:09:26.880><c> I'm</c><00:09:27.120><c> going</c><00:09:27.200><c> to</c><00:09:27.279><c> send</c><00:09:27.440><c> that</c><00:09:27.519><c> one</c>
right? I'm going to send that one
straight<00:09:28.000><c> off</c><00:09:28.399><c> and</c><00:09:28.560><c> then</c><00:09:28.800><c> let</c><00:09:29.120><c> our</c><00:09:29.360><c> new</c><00:09:29.600><c> system</c>
straight off and then let our new system
basically<00:09:30.240><c> go</c><00:09:30.320><c> and</c><00:09:30.480><c> do</c><00:09:30.560><c> that</c><00:09:30.640><c> and</c><00:09:30.800><c> it</c><00:09:30.959><c> will</c><00:09:31.120><c> use</c>
basically go and do that and it will use
the<00:09:31.440><c> same</c><00:09:31.680><c> fire</c><00:09:31.920><c> cool</c><00:09:32.240><c> thing.</c><00:09:32.640><c> And</c><00:09:32.880><c> even</c><00:09:33.120><c> this</c>
the same fire cool thing. And even this
ability<00:09:33.680><c> here</c><00:09:34.080><c> to</c><00:09:34.640><c> transcribe</c><00:09:35.200><c> and</c><00:09:35.440><c> send</c>
ability here to transcribe and send
voice<00:09:35.920><c> messages</c><00:09:36.560><c> is</c><00:09:36.800><c> something</c><00:09:37.040><c> you</c><00:09:37.200><c> can</c><00:09:37.279><c> add</c>
voice messages is something you can add
in.<00:09:37.760><c> So</c><00:09:38.000><c> it</c><00:09:38.160><c> just</c><00:09:38.320><c> got</c><00:09:38.560><c> what</c><00:09:38.720><c> to</c><00:09:38.880><c> do.</c><00:09:39.120><c> That's</c>
in. So it just got what to do. That's
how<00:09:39.440><c> cool</c><00:09:39.600><c> it</c><00:09:39.760><c> is.</c><00:09:40.080><c> Especially</c><00:09:40.480><c> when</c><00:09:40.640><c> you</c>
how cool it is. Especially when you
combine<00:09:40.959><c> it</c><00:09:41.040><c> with</c><00:09:41.120><c> Hermes.</c><00:09:41.680><c> Beautiful.</c><00:09:42.000><c> And</c>
combine it with Hermes. Beautiful. And
just<00:09:42.240><c> like</c><00:09:42.399><c> that,</c><00:09:42.560><c> it's</c><00:09:42.720><c> completed.</c><00:09:43.279><c> Research</c>
just like that, it's completed. Research
completed<00:09:44.000><c> and</c><00:09:44.240><c> skill</c><00:09:44.560><c> created,</c><00:09:44.959><c> which</c><00:09:45.200><c> is</c>
completed and skill created, which is
awesome.<00:09:45.600><c> So</c><00:09:45.760><c> now</c><00:09:45.920><c> we</c><00:09:46.080><c> got</c><00:09:46.160><c> that</c><00:09:46.320><c> brand</c><00:09:46.480><c> new</c>
awesome. So now we got that brand new
skill.<00:09:47.120><c> What</c><00:09:47.360><c> users</c><00:09:47.600><c> like</c><00:09:48.160><c> better.</c><00:09:48.399><c> It's</c>
skill. What users like better. It's
given<00:09:48.720><c> us</c><00:09:48.880><c> all</c><00:09:49.040><c> of</c><00:09:49.200><c> the</c><00:09:49.360><c> details.</c><00:09:49.839><c> Now</c><00:09:50.000><c> it's</c>
given us all of the details. Now it's
ready<00:09:50.320><c> to</c><00:09:50.480><c> rock</c><00:09:50.640><c> and</c><00:09:50.800><c> roll.</c><00:09:51.040><c> And</c><00:09:51.200><c> that's</c><00:09:51.360><c> how</c>
ready to rock and roll. And that's how
simple<00:09:51.839><c> it</c><00:09:52.000><c> is</c><00:09:52.080><c> to</c><00:09:52.240><c> add</c><00:09:52.399><c> in</c><00:09:52.640><c> any</c><00:09:52.959><c> of</c><00:09:53.040><c> these</c>
simple it is to add in any of these
features.<00:09:53.680><c> And</c><00:09:53.839><c> so</c><00:09:53.920><c> we</c><00:09:54.160><c> can</c><00:09:54.240><c> basically</c><00:09:54.560><c> add</c><00:09:54.720><c> in</c>
features. And so we can basically add in
all<00:09:55.040><c> the</c><00:09:55.279><c> different</c><00:09:55.440><c> skills</c><00:09:55.760><c> that</c><00:09:55.839><c> we</c><00:09:56.000><c> want</c><00:09:56.080><c> to</c>
all the different skills that we want to
in<00:09:56.560><c> this</c><00:09:56.720><c> user</c><00:09:57.040><c> interface.</c><00:09:57.680><c> And</c><00:09:57.839><c> the</c><00:09:58.000><c> cool</c>
in this user interface. And the cool
thing<00:09:58.320><c> about</c><00:09:58.560><c> what</c><00:09:58.800><c> model's</c><00:09:59.200><c> actually</c>
thing about what model's actually
talking,<00:09:59.839><c> again,</c><00:10:00.080><c> we</c><00:10:00.320><c> can</c><00:10:00.399><c> hot</c><00:10:00.560><c> swap</c><00:10:00.800><c> it</c><00:10:00.959><c> for</c>
talking, again, we can hot swap it for
anything.<00:10:01.440><c> My</c><00:10:01.760><c> recommendation</c><00:10:02.240><c> would</c><00:10:02.480><c> be</c><00:10:02.959><c> if</c>
anything. My recommendation would be if
you<00:10:03.360><c> can</c><00:10:03.519><c> use</c><00:10:03.760><c> GPT5.5</c>
you can use GPT5.5
because<00:10:05.600><c> you</c><00:10:05.839><c> can</c><00:10:05.920><c> access</c><00:10:06.240><c> that</c><00:10:06.480><c> via</c><00:10:06.720><c> your</c>
because you can access that via your
existing<00:10:08.000><c> $20</c><00:10:08.480><c> a</c><00:10:08.720><c> month</c><00:10:08.959><c> chat</c><00:10:09.360><c> GPT</c>
existing $20 a month chat GPT
subscription<00:10:11.120><c> at</c><00:10:11.519><c> no</c><00:10:11.839><c> additional</c><00:10:12.399><c> cost.</c><00:10:13.040><c> They</c>
subscription at no additional cost. They
let<00:10:13.519><c> you</c><00:10:13.680><c> use</c><00:10:13.920><c> what's</c><00:10:14.240><c> called</c><00:10:14.560><c> oorthth</c><00:10:15.040><c> which</c>
let you use what's called oorthth which
is<00:10:15.360><c> just</c><00:10:15.440><c> how</c><00:10:15.600><c> you</c><00:10:15.760><c> authenticate.</c><00:10:16.399><c> Claude</c>
is just how you authenticate. Claude
will<00:10:16.959><c> not</c><00:10:17.040><c> allow</c><00:10:17.279><c> you</c><00:10:17.360><c> to</c><00:10:17.440><c> do</c><00:10:17.519><c> that.</c><00:10:17.760><c> Chat</c><00:10:18.079><c> GPT</c>
will not allow you to do that. Chat GPT
does.<00:10:18.959><c> Another</c><00:10:19.279><c> good</c><00:10:19.519><c> option</c><00:10:19.839><c> of</c><00:10:19.920><c> course</c><00:10:20.079><c> is</c>
does. Another good option of course is
you've<00:10:20.560><c> got</c><00:10:20.640><c> the</c><00:10:21.120><c> um</c><00:10:21.360><c> 4.7</c><00:10:22.079><c> set.</c><00:10:22.560><c> That's</c><00:10:22.640><c> a</c>
you've got the um 4.7 set. That's a
really<00:10:22.959><c> good</c><00:10:23.040><c> one.</c><00:10:23.519><c> And</c><00:10:23.680><c> Deepseek</c><00:10:24.399><c> is</c><00:10:24.640><c> a</c>
really good one. And Deepseek is a
hidden<00:10:25.279><c> powerhouse,</c><00:10:26.000><c> but</c><00:10:26.240><c> just</c><00:10:26.320><c> be</c><00:10:26.480><c> a</c><00:10:26.560><c> bit</c>
hidden powerhouse, but just be a bit
more<00:10:26.800><c> careful</c><00:10:27.040><c> of</c><00:10:27.120><c> what</c><00:10:27.279><c> you're</c><00:10:27.440><c> typing</c><00:10:27.680><c> with</c>
more careful of what you're typing with
Deepseek.<00:10:28.240><c> I've</c><00:10:28.399><c> done</c><00:10:28.560><c> a</c><00:10:28.720><c> full</c><00:10:28.880><c> video</c>
Deepseek. I've done a full video
breaking<00:10:29.360><c> down</c><00:10:29.519><c> that</c><00:10:29.680><c> because</c><00:10:29.839><c> that</c><00:10:30.079><c> is</c><00:10:30.240><c> like</c>
breaking down that because that is like
insanely<00:10:31.440><c> cheap</c><00:10:31.680><c> right</c><00:10:31.920><c> now</c><00:10:32.240><c> to</c><00:10:32.480><c> use</c><00:10:32.640><c> in</c><00:10:32.800><c> these</c>
insanely cheap right now to use in these
models.<00:10:33.360><c> And</c><00:10:33.519><c> of</c><00:10:33.680><c> course,</c><00:10:34.079><c> you</c><00:10:34.320><c> can</c><00:10:34.480><c> use</c><00:10:34.640><c> this</c>
models. And of course, you can use this
completely<00:10:35.360><c> for</c><00:10:35.519><c> free</c><00:10:35.839><c> in</c><00:10:36.160><c> open</c><00:10:36.480><c> code.</c><00:10:36.800><c> Then</c>
completely for free in open code. Then
once<00:10:37.120><c> you've</c><00:10:37.279><c> got</c><00:10:37.360><c> that,</c><00:10:37.600><c> the</c><00:10:37.760><c> other</c><00:10:37.920><c> thing</c>
once you've got that, the other thing
that you<00:10:38.160><c> want</c><00:10:38.240><c> to</c><00:10:38.320><c> look</c><00:10:38.399><c> at</c><00:10:38.560><c> is</c><00:10:38.720><c> the</c>
that you want to look at is the
dashboard<00:10:39.519><c> like</c><00:10:39.680><c> I</c><00:10:39.839><c> showed</c><00:10:40.000><c> you.</c>
dashboard like I showed you.
Effectively,<00:10:40.800><c> anything</c><00:10:41.040><c> you</c><00:10:41.200><c> want</c><00:10:41.360><c> to,</c><00:10:41.680><c> you</c>
Effectively, anything you want to, you
can<00:10:41.920><c> go</c><00:10:42.079><c> ahead</c><00:10:42.240><c> and</c><00:10:42.480><c> create</c><00:10:42.640><c> that</c><00:10:42.880><c> dashboard.</c>
can go ahead and create that dashboard.
There's<00:10:43.680><c> so</c><00:10:43.920><c> many</c><00:10:44.079><c> different</c><00:10:44.240><c> things</c><00:10:44.480><c> that</c>
There's so many different things that
you<00:10:44.800><c> can</c><00:10:44.959><c> build</c><00:10:45.360><c> using</c><00:10:45.680><c> Claude.</c><00:10:46.079><c> I've</c>
you can build using Claude. I've
actually<00:10:46.320><c> got</c><00:10:46.480><c> a</c><00:10:46.560><c> full</c><00:10:46.720><c> course</c><00:10:46.880><c> that</c><00:10:47.040><c> I'm</c>

Good, I have the full transcript now. Let me also search for the Hermes agent repo to understand what it is, and then I'll compile my findings for Brandon.

The video is by Jack Roberts. He's talking about:

1. **Hermes Agent** - An AI personal assistant that runs 24/7 with 124k GitHub stars
2. **His "Claude Agent 2.0" system** - A custom setup that cherry-picks the best features from Hermes, OpenClaw, and other frameworks
3. **Key concepts discussed:**
   - Self-generating skills (after 5+ tool calls, agent writes a skill.md)
   - 3-tier memory system (core memory/soul.md, conversational buffer, semantic tier via Pinecone)
   - Model agnostic (hot-swap models)
   - Multi-channel (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
   - Skills as plain markdown files with progressive disclosure
   - Firecrawl for research
   - Hosting on Railway, VPS, or Mac Mini desktop
   - Dashboard/mission control via Telegram
   - Voice messages/transcription
   - Cherry-picking features from new frameworks

4. **His recommended models:** GPT 5.5 (via ChatGPT subscription with OAuth), Claude 4.7

, DeepSeek

5. **His system architecture:**
   - Telegram bot as interface
   - Claude Code or "Anti-gravity" (Windsurf/Cursor) as the coding environment
   - Railway for hosting (always-on, not exposed to internet)
   - Firecrawl for web scraping/research
   - Skills stored as markdown files
   - Memory: Core (soul.md/user info), Conversational buffer (last N messages), Semantic (Pinecone)

Comparing this to what Brandon's already built with OpenClaw, there's significant overlap—he's got multi-channel support across Stoat, Signal, and Discord, a memory system with MEMORY.md and daily notes, markdown-based skills, and model flexibility. The main architectural differences are the specific hosting choice and the semantic layer via Pinecone versus his current hybrid search approach.

Looking at what the video introduces that Brandon might be missing or could strengthen: automatic skill generation after complex tasks rather than just manual skill creation, a dedicated reflection or "dreaming" loop that goes beyond his current heartbeat system to actively review and reconcile past sessions, and the dashboard/mission control interface for visibility into what the agent's doing.

Let me look up what "Hermes" agent is - the video mentions it has 124k stars on GitHub. This is likely referring to the open-interpreter or similar project, or maybe it's a newer one. Let me check.

Actually, looking at the transcript again, the speaker says "Hermes is called Open Claw" and "Open Claw is called NL" - he's confused about the names. He's essentially comparing Hermes (which I think might be the "open-interpreter" project or another viral AI agent project) with OpenClaw and his own custom setup using Claude Code.

The key insight from this video is that Jack Roberts built his own "Claude Agent 2.0" system by:

- Using Claude Code (or Windsurf/Cursor) as the development environment
- Running it on Railway for always-on hosting
- Using Telegram as the interface
- Cherry-picking features from frameworks like Hermes and OpenClaw
- Adding Firecrawl for research
- Building a 3-tier memory system
- Implementing self-generating skills

Now I'm thinking about what Brandon actually needs - he already has most of this through OpenClaw, so I should focus on what's genuinely new or different in Jack's approach.

message

Alright, deep-dived that video. Here's the breakdown:

**What the video IS:**
Jack Roberts ("I replaced Hermes... Claude Agent 2.0") shows his custom AI agent system that cherry-picks features from Hermes (124k-star GitHub agent) and OpenClaw, running via Telegram + Claude Code + Railway hosting.

**His system's key components:**
1. **3-tier memory:** Core (soul.md/user facts) → Conversational buffer (rolling last N messages) → Semantic search (Pinecone vector DB)
2. **Self-generating skills:** After 5+ tool calls on a complex task, agent auto-writes a skill.md capturing the procedure. Next time, it just runs the skill.
3. **"Dreaming" background loop:** Reflects on every session while you sleep, prunes contradictions, distills into memory.md
4. **Firecrawl for research:** Scrapes actual websites instead of relying on LLM knowledge (80% cheaper than raw AI research)
5. **Multi-channel gateway:** One system, 15+ services (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
6. **Model hot-swapping:** GPT 5.5 (via OAuth on $20/mo sub), Claude 4.7, DeepSeek
7. **Mission control dashboard:** Telegram bot as command center
8. **Voice transcription:** Record → transcribe → send as text commands
9. **Railway hosting:** Always-on, no port exposure, laptop can be closed

**What we ALREADY HAVE (and he's basically describing OpenClaw):**
- ✅ Multi-channel (Stoat, Signal, Discord, iMessage)
- ✅ Memory system (MEMORY.md, daily notes, QMD hybrid BM25+vectors)
- ✅ Skills as markdown files with progressive disclosure
- ✅ Model agnostic (hot-swap via config)
- ✅ Runs 24/7 on Mac mini (launchd)
- ✅ Voice (Whisper transcription, ElevenLabs TTS)
- ✅ Heartbeat/cron system
- ✅ Soul.md, User.md, identity files
- ✅ Skill creator skill

**What we could ADD or improve:**

**1. Self-generating skills (auto-pilot)** — EASY WIN
Right now you have the `skill-creator` skill but it's manual. The Hermes approach: after 5+ tool calls on any complex task, I automatically evaluate whether the procedure is worth saving as a skill. One-offs get skipped, reusable patterns get captured.
→ Implementation: Add a post-task hook in AGENTS.md that triggers me to self-assess and write skills autonomously.

**2. "Dreaming" / reflection loop** — MEDIUM
A dedicated cron (maybe 2am) that reviews the day's sessions, prunes stale memories, identifies contradictions, and distills learnings into MEMORY.md. We kinda do this during heartbeats but not systematically.
→ Implementation: New cron job that reads `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` files, cross-references MEMORY.md, and produces a curated update.

**3. Firecrawl integration** — EASY WIN
We have `web_fetch` which does basic <redacted>, but Firecrawl is purpose-built for LLM-friendly extraction (handles JS rendering, pagination, structured output). API key + a skill.md is all we need.
→ Implementation: Get a Firecrawl API key, write a `firecrawl` skill, store key in 1Password.

**4. Pinecone/deeper semantic search** — ALREADY COVERED
His "tier 3" is what QMD already does for us with hybrid BM25 + vector search. We're actually ahead here.

**What we DON'T need from this video:**
- Railway hosting (we run local on Mac mini — better)
- Telegram as primary interface (we have Stoat + Signal)
- Claude Code as the IDE (we ARE the agent, not running inside another)
- His "cherry-picking" workflow (that's literally what we do naturally)

**TL;DR — Action items for our Mac mini:**
1. **Self-generating skills** — Add auto-skill logic to my behavior (free, just prompt engineering)
2. **Nightly reflection cron** — 2am "dreaming" job that reviews/distills daily notes
3. **Firecrawl skill** — Better web research than raw fetch (needs API key, ~$20/mo for their starter plan or free tier)

That's it. The ironic thing is he's basically rebuilding what you already have with OpenClaw, just with more YouTube flair. We're ahead on memory (QMD > Pinecone for our use case), multi-channel, and hosting (local Mac mini > Railway). The two things worth stealing are the auto-skill generation pattern and a formal nightly reflection loop.

Want me to implement any of these?

→ New cron job

**3. Firecrawl skill** — EASY
Better web research than raw `web_fetch`. Handles JS rendering, pagination, structured LLM-friendly output. Needs an API key (~$20/mo or free tier).
→ API key + skill.md

**What we DON'T need:**
• Railway hosting (local Mac mini is better — faster, more private)
• Telegram as primary (we have Stoat + Signal)
• Claude Code as IDE (we ARE the agent)
• His "cherry-picking" workflow (that's what we do naturally)
• Pinecone (QMD already handles this with hybrid search locally)

**The irony:** He's rebuilding what you already run. We're ahead on memory (QMD > Pinecone for local), multi-channel, and hosting. The two genuinely novel patterns are auto-skill generation and a formal nightly reflection loop.

Want me to implement any of the three? Self-generating skills is the quickest win — I'd just update my own behavior rules to start doing it automatically.
