+# Hermes Agent Has Had "Routines" Since March
+
+Anthropic just announced [Claude Code Routines](https://claude.com/blog/introducing-routines-in-claude-code) — scheduled tasks, GitHub event triggers, and API-triggered agent runs. Bundled prompt + repo + connectors, running on their infrastructure.
+
+It's a good feature. We shipped it two months ago.
+
+---
+
+## The Three Trigger Types — Side by Side
+
+Claude Code Routines offers three ways to trigger an automation:
+
+**1. Scheduled (cron)**
+> "Every night at 2am: pull the top bug from Linear, attempt a fix, and open a draft PR."
+
+Hermes equivalent — works today:
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 2 * * *" \
+  "Pull the top bug from the issue tracker, attempt a fix, and open a draft PR." \
+  --name "Nightly bug fix" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+**2. GitHub Events (webhook)**
+> "Flag PRs that touch the /auth-provider module and post to #auth-changes."
+
+Hermes equivalent — works today:
+```bash
+hermes webhook subscribe auth-watch \
+  --events "pull_request" \
+  --prompt "PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title} by {pull_request.user.login}. Check if it touches the auth-provider module. If yes, summarize the changes." \
+  --deliver slack
+```
+
+**3. API Triggers**
+> "Read the alert payload, find the owning service, post a triage summary to #oncall."
+
+Hermes equivalent — works today:
+```bash
+hermes webhook subscribe alert-triage \
+  --prompt "Alert: {alert.name} — Severity: {alert.severity}. Find the owning service, investigate, and post a triage summary with proposed first steps." \
+  --deliver slack
+```
+
+Every use case in their blog post — backlog triage, docs drift, deploy verification, alert correlation, library porting, bespoke PR review — has a working Hermes implementation. No new features needed. It's been shipping since March 2026.
+
+---
+
+## What's Different
+
+| | Claude Code Routines | Hermes Agent |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Scheduled tasks** | ✅ Schedule-based | ✅ Any cron expression + human-readable intervals |
+| **GitHub triggers** | ✅ PR, issue, push events | ✅ Any GitHub event via webhook subscriptions |
+| **API triggers** | ✅ POST to unique endpoint | ✅ POST to webhook routes with HMAC auth |
+| **MCP connectors** | ✅ Native connectors | ✅ Full MCP client support |
+| **Script pre-processing** | ❌ | ✅ Python scripts run before agent, inject context |
+| **Skill chaining** | ❌ | ✅ Load multiple skills per automation |
+| **Daily limit** | 5-25 runs/day | **Unlimited** |
+| **Model choice** | Claude only | **Any model** — Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen, local |
+| **Delivery targets** | GitHub comments | Telegram, Discord, Slack, SMS, email, GitHub comments, webhooks, local files |
+| **Infrastructure** | Anthropic's servers | **Your infrastructure** — VPS, home server, laptop |
+| **Data residency** | Anthropic's cloud | **Your machines** |
+| **Cost** | Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise subscription | Your API key, your rates |
+| **Open source** | No | **Yes** — MIT license |
+
+---
+
+## Things Hermes Does That Routines Can't
+
+### Script Injection
+
+Run a Python script *before* the agent. The script's stdout becomes context. The script handles mechanical work (fetching, diffing, computing); the agent handles reasoning.
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "every 1h" \
+  "If CHANGE DETECTED, summarize what changed. If NO_CHANGE, respond with [SILENT]." \
+  --script ~/.hermes/scripts/watch-site.py \
+  --name "Pricing monitor" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+The `[SILENT]` pattern means you only get notified when something actually happens. No spam.
+
+### Multi-Skill Workflows
+
+Chain specialized skills together. Each skill teaches the agent a specific capability, and the prompt ties them together.
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 8 * * *" \
+  "Search arXiv for papers on language model reasoning. Save the top 3 as Obsidian notes." \
+  --skills "arxiv,obsidian" \
+  --name "Paper digest"
+```
+
+### Deliver Anywhere
+
+One automation, any destination:
+
+```bash
+--deliver telegram                      # Telegram home channel
+--deliver discord                       # Discord home channel  
+--deliver slack                         # Slack channel
+--deliver sms:+15551234567              # Text message
+--deliver telegram:-1001234567890:42    # Specific Telegram forum topic
+--deliver local                         # Save to file, no notification
+```
+
+### Model-Agnostic
+
+Your nightly triage can run on Claude. Your deploy verification can run on GPT. Your cost-sensitive monitors can run on DeepSeek or a local model. Same automation system, any backend.
+
+---
+
+## The Limits Tell the Story
+
+Claude Code Routines: **5 routines per day** on Pro. **25 on Enterprise.** That's their ceiling.
+
+Hermes has no daily limit. Run 500 automations a day if you want. The only constraint is your API budget, and you choose which models to use for which tasks.
+
+A nightly backlog triage on Sonnet costs roughly $0.02-0.05. A monitoring check on DeepSeek costs fractions of a cent. You control the economics.
+
+---
+
+## Get Started
+
+Hermes Agent is open source and free. The automation infrastructure — cron scheduler, webhook platform, skill system, multi-platform delivery — is built in.
+
+```bash
+pip install hermes-agent
+hermes setup
+```
+
+Set up a scheduled task in 30 seconds:
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 9 * * 1" \
+  "Generate a weekly AI news digest. Search the web for major announcements, trending repos, and notable papers. Keep it under 500 words with links." \
+  --name "Weekly digest" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+Set up a GitHub webhook in 60 seconds:
+```bash
+hermes gateway setup    # enable webhooks
+hermes webhook subscribe pr-review \
+  --events "pull_request" \
+  --prompt "Review PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title}" \
+  --skills "github-code-review" \
+  --deliver github_comment
+```

+
+# Architecture Diagram Skill
+
+Generate professional, dark-themed technical architecture diagrams as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. No external tools, no API keys, no rendering libraries — just write the HTML file and open it in a browser.
+
+Based on [Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator](https://github.com/Cocoon-AI/architecture-diagram-generator) (MIT).
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. User describes their system architecture (components, connections, technologies)
+2. Generate the HTML file following the design system below
+3. Save with `write_file` to a `.html` file (e.g. `~/architecture-diagram.html`)
+4. User opens in any browser — works offline, no dependencies
+
+### Output Location
+
+Save diagrams to a user-specified path, or default to the current working directory:
+```
+./[project-name]-architecture.html
+```
+
+### Preview
+
+After saving, suggest the user open it:
+```bash
+# macOS
+open ./my-architecture.html
+# Linux
+xdg-open ./my-architecture.html
+```
+
+## Design System & Visual Language
+
+### Color Palette (Semantic Mapping)
+
+Use specific `rgba` fills and hex strokes to categorize components:
+
+| Component Type | Fill (rgba) | Stroke (Hex) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Frontend** | `rgba(8, 51, 68, 0.4)` | `#22d3ee` (cyan-400) |
+| **Backend** | `rgba(6, 78, 59, 0.4)` | `#34d399` (emerald-400) |
+| **Database** | `rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.4)` | `#a78bfa` (violet-400) |
+| **AWS/Cloud** | `rgba(120, 53, 15, 0.3)` | `#fbbf24` (amber-400) |
+| **Security** | `rgba(136, 19, 55, 0.4)` | `#fb7185` (rose-400) |
+| **Message Bus** | `rgba(251, 146, 60, 0.3)` | `#fb923c` (orange-400) |
+| **External** | `rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.5)` | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) |
+
+### Typography & Background
+- **Font:** JetBrains Mono (Monospace), loaded from Google Fonts
+- **Sizes:** 12px (Names), 9px (Sublabels), 8px (Annotations), 7px (Tiny labels)
+- **Background:** Slate-950 (`#020617`) with a subtle 40px grid pattern
+
+```svg
+<!-- Background Grid Pattern -->
+<pattern id="grid" width="40" height="40" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
+  <path d="M 40 0 L 0 0 0 40" fill="none" stroke="#1e293b" stroke-width="0.5"/>
+</pattern>
+```
+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Component Rendering
+Components are rounded rectangles (`rx="6"`) with 1.5px strokes. To prevent arrows from showing through semi-transparent fills, use a **double-rect masking technique**:
+1. Draw an opaque background rect (`#0f172a`)
+2. Draw the semi-transparent styled rect on top
+
+### Connection Rules
+- **Z-Order:** Draw arrows *early* in the SVG (after the grid) so they render behind component boxes
+- **Arrowheads:** Defined via SVG markers
+- **Security Flows:** Use dashed lines in rose color (`#fb7185`)
+- **Boundaries:**
+  - *Security Groups:* Dashed (`4,4`), rose color
+  - *Regions:* Large dashed (`8,4`), amber color, `rx="12"`
+
+### Spacing & Layout Logic
+- **Standard Height:** 60px (Services); 80-120px (Large components)
+- **Vertical Gap:** Minimum 40px between components
+- **Message Buses:** Must be placed *in the gap* between services, not overlapping them
+- **Legend Placement:** **CRITICAL.** Must be placed outside all boundary boxes. Calculate the lowest Y-coordinate of all boundaries and place the legend at least 20px below it.
+
+## Document Structure
+
+The generated HTML file follows a four-part layout:
+1. **Header:** Title with a pulsing dot indicator and subtitle
+2. **Main SVG:** The diagram contained within a rounded border card
+3. **Summary Cards:** A grid of three cards below the diagram for high-level details
+4. **Footer:** Minimal metadata
+
+### Info Card Pattern
+```html
+<div class="card">
+  <div class="card-header">
+    <div class="card-dot cyan"></div>
+    <h3>Title</h3>
+  </div>
+  <ul>
+    <li>• Item one</li>
+    <li>• Item two</li>
+  </ul>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Output Requirements
+- **Single File:** One self-contained `.html` file
+- **No External Dependencies:** All CSS and SVG must be inline (except Google Fonts)
+- **No JavaScript:** Use pure CSS for any animations (like pulsing dots)
+- **Compatibility:** Must render correctly in any modern web browser
+
+## Template Reference
+
+Load the full HTML template for the exact structure, CSS, and SVG component examples:
+
+```
+skill_view(name="architecture-diagram", file_path="templates/template.html")
+```
+
+The template contains working examples of every component type (frontend, backend, database, cloud, security), arrow styles (standard, dashed, curved), security groups, region boundaries, and the legend — use it as your structural reference when generating diagrams.

+
+# Automation Templates
+
+Copy-paste recipes for common automation patterns. Each template uses Hermes's built-in [cron scheduler](/docs/user-guide/features/cron) for time-based triggers and [webhook platform](/docs/user-guide/messaging/webhooks) for event-driven triggers.
+
+Every template works with **any model** — not locked to a single provider.
+
+:::tip Three Trigger Types
+| Trigger | How | Tool |
+|---------|-----|------|
+| **Schedule** | Runs on a cadence (hourly, nightly, weekly) | `cronjob` tool or `/cron` slash command |
+| **GitHub Event** | Fires on PR opens, pushes, issues, CI results | Webhook platform (`hermes webhook subscribe`) |
+| **API Call** | External service POSTs JSON to your endpoint | Webhook platform (config.yaml routes or `hermes webhook subscribe`) |
+
+All three support delivery to Telegram, Discord, Slack, SMS, email, GitHub comments, or local files.
+:::
+
+---
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Nightly Backlog Triage
+
+Label, prioritize, and summarize new issues every night. Delivers a digest to your team channel.
+
+**Trigger:** Schedule (nightly)
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 2 * * *" \
+  "You are a project manager triaging the NousResearch/hermes-agent GitHub repo.
+
+1. Run: gh issue list --repo NousResearch/hermes-agent --state open --json number,title,labels,author,createdAt --limit 30
+2. Identify issues opened in the last 24 hours
+3. For each new issue:
+   - Suggest a priority label (P0-critical, P1-high, P2-medium, P3-low)
+   - Suggest a category label (bug, feature, docs, security)
+   - Write a one-line triage note
+4. Summarize: total open issues, new today, breakdown by priority
+
+Format as a clean digest. If no new issues, respond with [SILENT]." \
+  --name "Nightly backlog triage" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+### Automatic PR Code Review
+
+Review every pull request automatically when it's opened. Posts a review comment directly on the PR.
+
+**Trigger:** GitHub webhook
+
+**Option A — Dynamic subscription (CLI):**
+
+```bash
+hermes webhook subscribe github-pr-review \
+  --events "pull_request" \
+  --prompt "Review this pull request:
+Repository: {repository.full_name}
+PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title}
+Author: {pull_request.user.login}
+Action: {action}
+Diff URL: {pull_request.diff_url}
+
+Fetch the diff with: curl -sL {pull_request.diff_url}
+
+Review for:
+- Security issues (injection, auth bypass, secrets in code)
+- Performance concerns (N+1 queries, unbounded loops, memory leaks)
+- Code quality (naming, duplication, error handling)
+- Missing tests for new behavior
+
+Post a concise review. If the PR is a trivial docs/typo change, say so briefly." \
+  --skills "github-code-review" \
+  --deliver github_comment
+```
+
+**Option B — Static route (config.yaml):**
+
+```yaml
+platforms:
+  webhook:
+    enabled: true
+    extra:
+      port: 8644
+      secret: "your-global-secret"
+      routes:
+        github-pr-review:
+          events: ["pull_request"]
+          secret: "github-webhook-secret"
+          prompt: |
+            Review PR #{pull_request.number}: {pull_request.title}
+            Repository: {repository.full_name}
+            Author: {pull_request.user.login}
+            Diff URL: {pull_request.diff_url}
+            Review for security, performance, and code quality.
+          skills: ["github-code-review"]
+          deliver: "github_comment"
+          deliver_extra:
+            repo: "{repository.full_name}"
+            pr_number: "{pull_request.number}"
+```
+
+Then in GitHub: **Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook** → Payload URL: `http://your-server:8644/webhooks/github-pr-review`, Content type: `application/json`, Secret: `github-webhook-secret`, Events: **Pull requests**.
+
+### Docs Drift Detection
+
+Weekly scan of merged PRs to find API changes that need documentation updates.
+
+**Trigger:** Schedule (weekly)
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 9 * * 1" \
+  "Scan the NousResearch/hermes-agent repo for documentation drift.
+
+1. Run: gh pr list --repo NousResearch/hermes-agent --state merged --json number,title,files,mergedAt --limit 30
+2. Filter to PRs merged in the last 7 days
+3. For each merged PR, check if it modified:
+   - Tool schemas (tools/*.py) — may need docs/reference/tools-reference.md update
+   - CLI commands (hermes_cli/commands.py, hermes_cli/main.py) — may need docs/reference/cli-commands.md update
+   - Config options (hermes_cli/config.py) — may need docs/user-guide/configuration.md update
+   - Environment variables — may need docs/reference/environment-variables.md update
+4. Cross-reference: for each code change, check if the corresponding docs page was also updated in the same PR
+
+Report any gaps where code changed but docs didn't. If everything is in sync, respond with [SILENT]." \
+  --name "Docs drift detection" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+### Dependency Security Audit
+
+Daily scan for known vulnerabilities in project dependencies.
+
+**Trigger:** Schedule (daily)
+
+```bash
+hermes cron create "0 6 * * *" \
+  "Run a dependency security audit on the hermes-agent project.
+
+1. cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && source .venv/bin/activate
+2. Run: pip audit --format json 2>/dev/null || pip audit 2>&1
+3. Run: npm audit --json 2>/dev/null (in website/ directory if it exists)
+4. Check for any CVEs with CVSS score >= 7.0
+
+If vulnerabilities found:
+- List each one with package name, version, CVE ID, severity
+- Check if an upgrade is available
+- Note if it's a direct dependency or transitive
+
+If no vulnerabilities, respond with [SILENT]." \
+  --name "Dependency audit" \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+---
+
+## DevOps & Monitoring
+
+### Deploy Verification
+
+Trigger smoke tests after every deployment. Your CI/CD pipeline POSTs to the webhook when a deploy completes.
+
+**Trigger:** API call (webhook)
+
+```bash
+hermes webhook subscribe deploy-verify \
+  --events "deployment" \
+  --prompt "A deployment just completed:
+Service: {service}
+Environment: {environment}
+Version: {version}
+Deployed by: {deployer}
+
+Run these verification steps:
+1. Check if the service is responding: curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' {health_url}
+2. Search recent logs for errors: check the deployment payload for any error indicators
+3. Verify the version matches: curl -s {health_url}/version
+
+Report: deployment status (healthy/degraded/failed), response time, any errors found.
+If healthy, keep it brief. If degraded or failed, provide detailed diagnostics." \
+  --deliver telegram
+```
+
+Your CI/CD pipeline triggers it:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://your-server:8644/webhooks/deploy-verify \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -H "X-Hub-Signature-256: sha256=$(echo -n '{"service":"api","environment":"prod","version":"2.1.0","deployer":"ci","health_url":"https://api.example.com/health"}' | openssl dgst -sha256 -hmac 'your-secret' | cut -d' ' -f2)" \
+  -d '{"service":"api","environment":"prod","version":"2.1.0","deployer":"ci","health_url":"https://api.example.com/health"}'
+```
+
+### Alert Triage
+
+Correlate monitoring alerts with recent changes to draft a response. Works with Datadog, PagerDuty, Grafana, or any alerting system that can POST JSON.
+
+**Trigger:** API call (webhook)
+
+```bash
+hermes webhook subscribe alert-triage \
+  --prompt "Monitoring alert received:
+Alert: {alert.name}
+Severity: {alert.severity}
+Service: {alert.service}
+Message: {alert.message}
+Timestamp: {alert.timestamp}
+
+Investigate:
+1. Search the web for known issues with this error pattern
+2. Check if this correlates with any recent deployments or config changes
+3. Draft a triage summary with:
+   - Likely root cause
+   - Suggested first response steps
+   - Escalation recommendation (P1-P4)
+
+Be concise. This goes to the on-call channel." \
+  --deliver slack
+```
+
+### Uptime Monitor
+
+Check endpoints every 30 minutes. Only notify when something is down.
+
+**Trigger:** Schedule (every 30 min)

+
+| Target | Flag | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| Same chat | `--deliver origin` | Default — delivers to where the job was created |
+| Local file | `--deliver local` | Saves output, no notification |
+| Telegram | `--deliver telegram` | Home channel, or `telegram:CHAT_ID` for specific |
+| Discord | `--deliver discord` | Home channel, or `discord:CHANNEL_ID` |
+| Slack | `--deliver slack` | Home channel |
+| SMS | `--deliver sms:+15551234567` | Direct to phone number |
+| Specific thread | `--deliver telegram:-100123:456` | Telegram forum topic |
+
+### Webhook Template Variables
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `{pull_request.title}` | PR title |
+| `{issue.number}` | Issue number |
+| `{repository.full_name}` | `owner/repo` |
+| `{action}` | Event action (opened, closed, etc.) |
+| `{__raw__}` | Full JSON payload (truncated at 4000 chars) |
+| `{sender.login}` | GitHub user who triggered the event |
+
+### The [SILENT] Pattern
+
+When a cron job's response contains `[SILENT]`, delivery is suppressed. Use this to avoid notification spam on quiet runs:
+
+```
+If nothing noteworthy happened, respond with [SILENT].
+```
+
+This means you only get notified when the agent has something to report.

+Port 8642 exposes the gateway's [OpenAI-compatible API server](./api-server.md) and health endpoint. It's optional if you only use chat platforms (Telegram, Discord, etc.), but required if you want the dashboard or external tools to reach the gateway.

+Opening any port on an internet facing machine is a security risk. You should not do it unless you understand the risks.
+
+## Running the dashboard
+
+The built-in web dashboard can run alongside the gateway as a separate container. 
+
+To run the dashboard as its own container, point it at the gateway's health endpoint so it can detect gateway status across containers:
+
+```sh
+docker run -d \
+  --name hermes-dashboard \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -v ~/.hermes:/opt/data \
+  -p 9119:9119 \

+  nousresearch/hermes-agent dashboard
+```
+
+Replace `$HOST_IP` with the IP address of the machine running the gateway container (e.g. `192.168.1.100`), or use a Docker network hostname if both containers share a network (see the [Compose example](#docker-compose-example) below).

+| `GATEWAY_HEALTH_TIMEOUT` | Health probe timeout in seconds | `3` |
+
+Without `GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL`, the dashboard falls back to local process detection — which only works when the gateway runs in the same container or on the same host.

+## Proxy Mode (E2EE on macOS)
+
+Matrix E2EE requires `libolm`, which doesn't compile on macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon). The `hermes-agent[matrix]` extra is gated to Linux only. If you're on macOS, proxy mode lets you run E2EE in a Docker container on a Linux VM while the actual agent runs natively on macOS with full access to your local files, memory, and skills.
+
+### How It Works
+
+```
+macOS (Host):
+  └─ hermes gateway
+       ├─ api_server adapter ← listens on 0.0.0.0:8642
+       ├─ AIAgent ← single source of truth
+       ├─ Sessions, memory, skills
+       └─ Local file access (Obsidian, projects, etc.)
+
+Linux VM (Docker):
+  └─ hermes gateway (proxy mode)
+       ├─ Matrix adapter ← E2EE decryption/encryption
+       └─ HTTP forward → macOS:8642/v1/chat/completions
+           (no LLM API keys, no agent, no inference)
+```
+
+The Docker container only handles Matrix protocol + E2EE. When a message arrives, it decrypts it and forwards the text to the host via a standard HTTP request. The host runs the agent, calls tools, generates a response, and streams it back. The container encrypts and sends the response to Matrix. All sessions are unified — CLI, Matrix, Telegram, and any other platform share the same memory and conversation history.
+
+### Step 1: Configure the Host (macOS)
+
+Enable the API server so the host accepts incoming requests from the Docker container.
+
+Add to `~/.hermes/.env`:
+
+```bash
+API_SERVER_ENABLED=true
+API_SERVER_KEY=your-secret-key-here
+API_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0
+```
+
+- `API_SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0` binds to all interfaces so the Docker container can reach it.
+- `API_SERVER_KEY` is required for non-loopback binding. Pick a strong random string.
+- The API server runs on port 8642 by default (change with `API_SERVER_PORT` if needed).
+
+Start the gateway:
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway
+```
+
+You should see the API server start alongside any other platforms you have configured. Verify it's reachable from the VM:
+
+```bash
+# From the Linux VM
+curl http://<mac-ip>:8642/health
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure the Docker Container (Linux VM)
+
+The container needs Matrix credentials and the proxy URL. It does NOT need LLM API keys.
+
+**`docker-compose.yml`:**
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  hermes-matrix:
+    build: .
+    environment:
+      # Matrix credentials
+      MATRIX_HOMESERVER: "https://matrix.example.org"
+      MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN: "syt_..."
+      MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS: "@you:matrix.example.org"
+      MATRIX_ENCRYPTION: "true"
+      MATRIX_DEVICE_ID: "HERMES_BOT"
+
+      # Proxy mode — forward to host agent
+      GATEWAY_PROXY_URL: "http://192.168.1.100:8642"
+      GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY: "your-secret-key-here"
+    volumes:
+      - ./matrix-store:/root/.hermes/platforms/matrix/store
+```
+
+**`Dockerfile`:**
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM python:3.11-slim
+
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libolm-dev && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+RUN pip install 'hermes-agent[matrix]'
+
+CMD ["hermes", "gateway"]
+```
+
+That's the entire container. No API keys for OpenRouter, Anthropic, or any inference provider.
+
+### Step 3: Start Both
+
+1. Start the host gateway first:
+   ```bash
+   hermes gateway
+   ```
+
+2. Start the Docker container:
+   ```bash
+   docker compose up -d
+   ```
+
+3. Send a message in an encrypted Matrix room. The container decrypts it, forwards it to the host, and streams the response back.
+
+### Configuration Reference
+
+Proxy mode is configured on the **container side** (the thin gateway):
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `GATEWAY_PROXY_URL` | URL of the remote Hermes API server (e.g., `http://192.168.1.100:8642`) |
+| `GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY` | Bearer token for authentication (must match `API_SERVER_KEY` on the host) |
+| `gateway.proxy_url` | Same as `GATEWAY_PROXY_URL` but in `config.yaml` |
+
+The host side needs:
+
+| Setting | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `API_SERVER_ENABLED` | Set to `true` |
+| `API_SERVER_KEY` | Bearer token (shared with the container) |
+| `API_SERVER_HOST` | Set to `0.0.0.0` for network access |
+| `API_SERVER_PORT` | Port number (default: `8642`) |
+
+### Works for Any Platform
+
+Proxy mode is not limited to Matrix. Any platform adapter can use it — set `GATEWAY_PROXY_URL` on any gateway instance and it will forward to the remote agent instead of running one locally. This is useful for any deployment where the platform adapter needs to run in a different environment from the agent (network isolation, E2EE requirements, resource constraints).
+
+:::tip
+Session continuity is maintained via the `X-Hermes-Session-Id` header. The host's API server tracks sessions by this ID, so conversations persist across messages just like they would with a local agent.
+:::
+
+:::note
+**Limitations (v1):** Tool progress messages from the remote agent are not relayed back — the user sees the streamed final response only, not individual tool calls. Dangerous command approval prompts are handled on the host side, not relayed to the Matrix user. These can be addressed in future updates.
+:::
+
 ### Sync issues / bot falls behind
 
 **Cause**: Long-running tool executions can delay the sync loop, or the homeserver is slow.
