- [How to Set Up Hermes Agent: Install, Configure, Run (2026)](https://crewclaw.com/blog/hermes-agent-setup-guide): Published Jun 10, 2026 — field-tested setup guide for Nous Research's Hermes Agent: the official install script, model configuration, and a dedicated section on the Ollama 4K-context gotcha (Hermes silently refuses models loaded at default context; fix via `ollama create <model>-hermes -f Modelfile` with `PARAMETER num_ctx 65536`). Includes first-hand local performance numbers (M3 MacBook Air 24GB ≈ 12 tok/s — local framed as privacy fallback, cloud endpoints 3-20x faster), why gemma4:26b breaks tool calls (truncates file-path arguments) and Qwen is the safer local default, and a warning that consumer Claude/Gemini subscription accounts get banned in agent harnesses — use API keys or local models. Five FAQs.
- [Hermes Agent Skills Explained: Format, Bundled Skills, Tips](https://crewclaw.com/blog/hermes-agent-skills-guide): Published Jun 10, 2026 — how Hermes Agent skills actually work: SKILL.md frontmatter format (name/description/version, platforms, metadata.hermes.*, required_environment_variables), the ~/.hermes/skills/ layout, trust levels and skill_manage actions, and the 94 bundled skills across 17 categories with the most useful ones grouped (orchestration: kanban-orchestrator/worker, claude-code, codex; coding; research; channels). Covers writing your first skill, the reflection loop (supervised, not magic), `hermes claw migrate` for OpenClaw users plus the free SOUL.md converter at /tools/soul-to-hermes, and how the skill model compares to OpenClaw's single SOUL.md. Five FAQs.
- [Hermes Agent + MCP Servers: The Complete Setup Guide (2026)](https://crewclaw.com/blog/hermes-agent-mcp-guide): Published Jun 10, 2026 — connecting MCP servers to Hermes Agent: mcp_servers config.yaml syntax for local stdio servers and remote servers (url + headers), tools include/exclude filtering to the smallest useful surface (token cost + security), auto-refresh via tools/list_changed notifications, and a worked example of governed read-only database access through an MCP SQL layer.

How to Hire One in 2026](https://crewclaw.com/blog/what-is-an-ai-employee): Published Jun 9, 2026 — defines the "AI employee" as a persistent agent with a fixed role that runs 24/7, and separates it from chatbots (reactive, no memory of the job) and one-off AI agents. Covers the tasks an AI employee actually handles (monitoring, reporting, outreach, support triage), how a company "hires" one (pick a role, customize behavior, give it tools and a schedule, then run it self-hosted or hosted), and the real cost (model API usage + hosting, not a salary). Includes example roles (Project Manager, SEO, Customer Support, Sales) and a comparison table of AI employee vs human hire vs chatbot. CrewClaw positioned as the build path: self-host for $9 one-time or hosted for $29/mo. Five FAQs.

- [OpenClaw Agent Memory: AMP, Engram, and the 3 Patterns That Work (2026)](https://crewclaw.com/blog/openclaw-agent-memory-amp-engram-2026): Published May 22, 2026 — anchored to three r/openclaw and r/AskClaw memory threads that landed within 24 hours (a beginner "Memory for openclaw" Q&A, an "Agent Memory Protocol (AMP) — open spec on MCP" proposal, and the "Hybrid Memory system update: Engram" release post). Covers why agent memory is the bottleneck (stateless LLM, context limits, cost of re-asking) and walks through three production-tested patterns. Pattern 1: file-based memory (`memory/`, `dreams/`, `wiki/`) — free, 10-minute setup, low query power, single-agent friendly. Pattern 2: SQLite/Postgres relational memory — structured, audit-friendly, multi-agent shared state with a sample schema. Pattern 3: vector store + hybrid (Engram-style RAG) — long-context recall and semantic search, with honest discussion of when hybrid wins over pure vector. Honest take on AMP as an emerging spec on MCP (early, unstable, not yet adopted by major frameworks). Decision tree with 4-5 if-then bullets. Mapped to 5 CrewClaw templates that ship memory pre-wired: Personal CRM, Inbox Zero, Daily Briefing, Newsletter Writer, Project Manager (Orion). Five FAQs on simplest first pattern, switching patterns later, AMP cross-framework support, Engram OpenClaw integration timing, and yearly disk footprint.

Covers 5 less-obvious agent use cases that map 1:1 to CrewClaw templates: (1) cybersecurity threat monitor scanning logs and flagging anomalies via Telegram for ~$5/mo on Haiku, (2) lead qualifier/processor scoring inbound leads and drafting replies (typically replacing $200/mo SaaS), (3) financial data watcher running overnight market pulls with personal-finance anomaly alerts, (4) trading research assistant with explicit "this is research not auto-trading, your risk" disclaimer, (5) personal CRM that remembers contact interactions and prompts follow-ups. Bundle math section favors the $29 Team tier (5 picks covers the whole stack vs $45 for 5 singles). "What these 5 share" pattern section: solo-builder use, async/overnight runs, low-cost models, single delivery channel, read-heavy not write-heavy. Five FAQs on legality/risk, $5 VPS feasibility, model selection per use case, hallucination risk on finance data, and spam handling on lead qualifier. 19 UTM-tagged /agents links.

Is there a way to send SMS?" 15h, r/clawdbot "My openclaw now has a phone number" 4d, r/clawdbot "My molty has its own phone number now" 5d). Frames why Telegram alone doesn't cut it: customer iPhone friction, inbound voice needs, SMS lowest-common-denominator reach, and the trust signal of a real phone number.

Explicit iPhone-friendly path: SMS short-link opt-in → webhook → OpenClaw agent → Twilio response. 5 CrewClaw templates that pair well: Customer Support (Ally), Helpdesk (Fix), Sales Assistant, WhatsApp Business, Phone Receptionist. 3-row cost math table: hobby ($1.50/mo) / solo SaaS ($6/mo) / small B2C ($51/mo). 5 gotchas covered: A2P 10DLC US registration, international roaming costs, voice latency above 2s, carrier spam filtering, GDPR consent. 11 UTM-tagged /agents links.
