Using Hermes agent workflow to manage AI-assisted fiction writing
A hobbyist writer using Claude AI for sci-fi fiction and roleplay describes keeping all world-building information in a single markdown file called a '' — covering world rules, characters, locations, and a timeline of what happened in each story arc and scene. A key challenge is tracking which characters or factions know which facts; for example, in a card game like blackjack within the story, it breaks immersion if character A somehow knows character B's cards, so this kind of knowledge is tracked carefully in the bible.
The old workflow involved pasting the entire into a chat interface or API call, discussing how the story should progress, outlining a scene's key beats before writing, having the LLM write the scene, then asking for minor corrections afterward. To make this process smoother, the writer is now using Hermes's flow, which involves delegating parts of the task to with in the loop, and includes a diagram of this workflow.
Key points
- Writer manages sci-fi/roleplay world-building in a single markdown '' file
- Bible tracks not just characters, locations, and timeline but also who knows what information
- Old process meant manually pasting the bible into chat, outlining scene beats, then requesting LLM edits
- New approach uses Hermes's flow: task delegation to plus (HITL)
- Post includes a diagram illustrating the agentic Hermes workflow
