Documentation

Three documents. That is the whole manual.

During alpha the docs live in the repository, so they always match the tag you installed. These pages link straight to them rather than keeping a second, staler copy.

01 · QUICKSTART.MD

Get running

Install, configure policy, choose an optional route, initialize keyvault, and inspect state. Start here if the CLI is new to you.

github

02 · USAGE.MD

CLI reference

Every subcommand, flag, policy key, and refusal message, with the exit status each one produces.

github

03 · EXTENSION.MD

Browser bridge

The extension, wallet handshake, permissions, and what the bridge can see. Optional for browser use.

github

Start with Quickstart. Keep the CLI reference nearby while you work. Open Browser bridge only if you add the optional extension.

Browser Extension · Chromium preview

Use Hermes with the Mordred Browser Extension.

Pair the separately distributed Mordred extension with its local server using a one-time code. It brings Hermes chat, encrypted gateway messaging, protected conversation history, and approval-based wallet signing into the browser.

Quick reference

The commands people look up most, so you do not have to open a document for them.

hermes-mordred status: policy, route, keyvault, and encryption state
hermes-mordred policy show: print the resolved policy snapshot
hermes-mordred network status: configured route and live process state
hermes-mordred audit tail: read recent audit entries
hermes-mordred keyvault list: list logical key IDs
hermes-mordred encryption status: inspect every at-rest target

A bug

Open an issue with the refusal message and your status output. Never paste the audit log.
