Pocket agents
One job on one machine. Then a loop.
For one person.
Saif Ali Shaik Founding DX Engineer · Scalekit
The formula
The usual agent, plus these.
You talk in a Claude session. You run /ask-dora. The CLI asks until the job fits one person and one machine.
Jobs
Four jobs. Same folder.
Two are live. Two are next.
New catalog slug. Draft it, then publish. Do not clone a twin.
GitHub asks. The pocket writes a review comment. It does not click Approve.
One thread to join. Or a PR that adds Scalekit.
The whole path
Grill. One pass. Runs. Then you improve it.
A run writes to Slack or Webflow. You look there. Then you tell the CLI to improve the harness.
Hermes
What it does.
You design the job here. Loop model: Claude, Grok, or Zai.
Inside the folder
What lives where.
~/.dora/harness/<slug>/
Plain English for what this run does.
- prompt.md: the steps each run follows
- when each step is done
- do not put the Slack footer here
How often it runs. Which MCP URL Hermes hits.
- interval: 6h / 1h
- mcp_url: gateway
- max_tick: 15m cap
Copied skills and last-run memory. Secrets stay here.
- skills/: copies
- handled_*.json: memory
- .env: if there is no MCP
hermes cron list
hermes cron runs --limit 20
hermes sessions list --source cron --limit 10
hermes sessions export --source cron --format md --title ooo-holidays-timeoff
Exports go to ~/.hermes/session-exports/. The CLI writes on disk. Nothing pings you when auth dies.
The ask
Run one this week.
I will open the terminal next. /ask-dora. Hermes. The files. The Slack replies.
