Hermes Imports

Use this skill when turning a repeated Hermes workflow into something safe to ship in ECC.

Hermes is the operator shell. ECC is the reusable workflow layer. Imports should move stable patterns from Hermes into ECC without moving private state.

When To Use

• A Hermes workflow has repeated enough times to become reusable.
• A local operator prompt should become a public ECC skill.
• A launch, content, research, or engineering workflow needs sanitized handoff docs.
• A workflow mentions local paths, credentials, personal datasets, or private account names that must be removed before publication.

Import Rules

• Convert local paths to repo-relative paths or placeholders.
• Replace live account names with role labels such as operator, default profile, or workspace owner.
• Describe credential requirements by provider name only.
• Keep examples narrow and operational.
• Do not ship raw workspace exports, tokens, OAuth files, health data, CRM data, or finance data.
• If the workflow requires private state to make sense, keep it local.

Sanitization Checklist

Before committing an imported workflow, scan for:

• absolute paths such as /Users/...
• ~/.hermes paths unless the doc is explicitly explaining local setup
• API keys, tokens, cookies, OAuth files, or bearer strings
• phone numbers, private email addresses, and personal contact graphs
• client names, family names, or account names that are not already public
• revenue, health, or CRM details
• raw logs that include tool output from private systems

Conversion Pattern

1. Identify the repeatable operator loop.
2. Strip private inputs and outputs.
3. Rewrite local paths as repo-relative examples.
4. Turn one-off instructions into a When To Use section and a short process.
5. Add concrete output requirements.
6. Run a secret and local-path scan before opening a PR.

Example: Launch Handoff

Local Hermes prompt:

Read my local workspace files and finalize launch copy.

ECC-safe version:

Use the public release pack under docs/releases/<version>/.Return one X thread, one LinkedIn post, one recording checklist, and the missing assets list.

Example: Quiet-Hours Operator Job

Local Hermes job:

Run my private inbox, finance, and content checks overnight.

ECC-safe version:

Describe the scheduler policy, the quiet-hours window, the escalation rules, and the categories of checks. Do not include private data sources or credentials.

Output Contract

Return:

• candidate ECC skill name
• sanitized workflow summary
• required public inputs
• private inputs removed
• remaining risks
• files that should be created or updated
