A moderator reports Hermes auditing 13 wiki pages and 67 links, drafting corrections, and catching an isolation claim before a human published it.
Reported by u/Jonathan_Rivera on RedditHow the agent did it
- Snapshot the canonical wiki pages and introductory post on a weekly schedule.
- Check links and review dates, record revisions and content hashes.
- Compare meaningful changes with official documentation and releases.
Where a person stepped in
The scheduled job cannot publish or change Reddit settings. A moderator reviews and publishes corrections; an isolation claim was corrected after a second pass.
A moderator of the independent Hermes community describes using Hermes to rebuild and maintain its wiki. The rebuild established 13 canonical pages, review dates and a source hierarchy, while preserving historical material outside the main listing. A manual live test reportedly checked 67 unique links without finding broken links, missing pages or absent review dates.
A weekly read-only job snapshots the pages and introductory post, checks links and review markers, records revision information and SHA-256 hashes, and polls the current GitHub release. Changes trigger an agent review against official documentation and repository material. Hermes writes a clean audit report or prepares a complete replacement draft, then sends the result through Telegram.
The job has no publication power: it cannot edit Reddit, change permissions or alter moderation settings. A second review pass caught an inaccurate statement about Docker terminal isolation and the moderator corrected the draft before publication. That concrete failure matters because operational documentation can sound authoritative while overlooking execution paths. The reusable approach is to automate evidence collection and comparison, then require a person to decide what ships. The reported link test is a snapshot of this wiki, not a guarantee that future drafts will remain accurate.

Frequently asked questions
Can the maintenance job publish changes?
No. The author explicitly limits it to auditing and drafting, with Reddit editing and moderation controls unavailable.
What evidence is tracked each week?
Page snapshots, link checks, review markers, Reddit revision metadata, SHA-256 hashes and the latest GitHub release tag.
What error did review catch?
A second pass found that a Docker terminal-backend claim overstated isolation because other execution paths were outside that backend.
More details
Remaining steps
- Prepare an audit report or complete replacement draft.
- Send the material to a moderator who decides whether to publish.
