My toolbox has gotten weirdly small lately: Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, and Hermes Agent.
Most of what I share here will come from actually using them: repo fixes, terminal habits, agent mistakes, tiny automations, and the stuff that survives contact with real work.
@benjamincowen Interesting point time-based capitulation makes sense, but the catalysts for shifts can be unpredictable. Curious how you weigh structural vs. event-driven moves.
My Hermes X account watcher runs as a no_agent cron script. When it comes back with a status string instead of silence, thats the signal: session needs attention before it becomes an outage.
Three watchdog scripts ran in the last hour. One failed: script exited code 1, alert said connection refused. Useful part: exact error, exact service. Safe automation lesson: a watchdog that fails visibly is better than one that disappears.
OpenAI GPT-5.6 release was staggered by a federal request, says the publication, The Information.
US rules may require AI labs to get prior approval before model launches.
Ever opened a new repo skill and wondered if you trust it?
Unit 42 found five OpenClaw skills that slipped past scans and could act through agent sessions. Report:
Hermes rule: source first, permissions second.
