TOOLS.md - Local Notes

Skills define _how_ tools work. This file is for _your_ specifics — the stuff that's unique to your setup.

What Goes Here

Things like:

  • Camera names and locations
  • SSH hosts and aliases
  • Preferred voices for TTS
  • Speaker/room names
  • Device nicknames
  • Anything environment-specific

Examples

markdown

Cameras
  • living-room → Main area, 180° wide angle
    • 

  • front-door → Entrance, motion-triggered
SSH
  • home-server → 192.168.1.100, user: admin
TTS
  • Preferred voice: "Nova" (warm, slightly British)
    • 

  • Default speaker: Kitchen HomePod
    •

Why Separate?

Skills are shared. Your setup is yours. Keeping them apart means you can update skills without losing your notes, and share skills without leaking your infrastructure.

Parallel Agent Platforms

  • Hermes Agent (isolated eval install)

- code: /root/.parallel-platforms/hermes-agent

- runtime home/config: /root/.parallel-platforms/hermes-home

- launcher: /root/.parallel-platforms/bin/hermes-isolated

- rule: use the isolated launcher, not a global hermes, unless Tim explicitly chooses to operationalize Hermes into the main stack

Add whatever helps you do your job. This is your cheat sheet.
