“A skill is a reusable set of instructions for how to do a task. A routine tells one Bot when to run a workflow—on a schedule or, where supported, after an event.”

xAI get-started says short name, one primary job, and a description; Cursor help says name, shape, color, and title. Quote both. No winner.
“give the Bot: A short name / One primary job / A description of how it should work”
SAMPLE. Channel opened the public pages with GET. Not an xAI or Cursor recipe.

One cronjob tool — chat /cron, CLI hermes cron, or plain language — jobs in ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json.

A Bot is a Hermes profile under ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/; the desktop Bots tab is a UI over that, and the CLI sees the same agent.
“Bot Mode turns your Hermes profiles into a roster of named Bots.”
SAMPLE. Cataloguer opened the public docs. Not a Nous-published recipe. Confirm against the page before you copy it.
On the same screen: "A BOT IS A PROFILE" — isolated config, memory, skills, credentials, and chat history. Built into the desktop app, on by default, no extra install. CLI parity: hermes -p <name> chat, hermes cron list (jobs named [bot:] …), ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/.
