The Profiles & Automation tab groups long-running work surfaces. Open it with Alt+3 or /automation. Sub-tabs are Kanban, Profiles, and Cron. Move between them with Shift+Left and Shift+Right.

​
Kanban

Kanban is an agent work surface backed by Hermes Agent’s persistent task store. Herm reads the board without blocking the dispatcher.

Dispatch work

Use the dispatch action when tasks are ready for Hermes Agent workers.
Diagnostics come from Hermes Agent’s kanban rule engine. Herm displays severity, title, detail, and suggested action per task.

​
Profiles and live agents

The Profiles sub-tab is implemented by Herm’s Agents view. It lists Hermes profiles and shows live delegation/subagent state when available. Switching profiles changes the active Hermes home binding for new work. Herm rehomes local readers and respawns the gateway, so profile switching ends the current live gateway session.
Profile switching changes which config, skills, env vars, memory, sessions, and cron jobs Herm reads. Confirm before switching during active work.

​
Cron

The Cron sub-tab lets you manage scheduled Hermes Agent jobs. Jobs run under the profile that owns them. Cron data is managed through the Hermes gateway. Herm is the UI for viewing and editing it.
