Hermes works best when memory comes first
Hermes and differ in what they treat as the starting point. Hermes can be understood as a memory-first system: it reads memory, turns that into context, and then chooses an action.
This means past information, ps, goals, and work history can strongly shape the result when using Hermes. is closer to a -first system: it plans the process, sends work to workers, and gathers the result.
In that view, memory in is more like an added support feature than the center of the system. Hermes is built around remembering and acting from that memory, while is built around arranging and running work steps.
Key points

- Hermes may work better when useful past information is available.
- is described as → workers → result.
- For Hermes, write down goals, ps, and repeated rules clearly.
- This is a mental model, so it should be checked through real use.
