Hermes /learn and /goal: The Two Commands Most People Never Use

Hermes Agent has a command called /learn that turns anything — a doc, a video, a URL — into a permanent skill. Here are 8 ways to use it, and how to make them stick. Every AI agent forgets everything the moment your session ends — until you teach it to stop. In this video I break down /learn, one of the most underused commands in Hermes Agent, and show 8 real ways to use it: training it on a slide deck template, distilling a YouTube tutorial into a skill, even teaching it how to write better /goal conditions using a loop engineering guide. Two of these get handed straight to /goal, Hermes Agent's other core command, so you can watch it finish the job completely unsupervised using something called a completion contract — a way of proving a task is actually done instead of just guessing. Then, because none of this matters if it disappears when your session closes, I show how to save every skill you teach Hermes Agent into Supabase — using Supabase's own official Agent Skill, not a custom integration — so a brand new agent instance can load your entire skill library back in seconds. That means the skills you build once are available to every agent you spin up after, on any machine, for any client, or with any teammate. If you've been using AI agents like a search bar instead of teaching them anything permanent, this changes that. TIMESTAMPS: Stop your AI agent from forgetting every session. Learn to use the Hermes Agent /learn and /goal commands for permanent skills. Most AI agents suffer from amnesia, losing everything the moment your session ends. In this tutorial, I break down how to use Hermes Agent to train your AI on documents, videos, or URLs, effectively turning them into permanent AI agent skills that stick. I demonstrate eight real-world use cases, from training slide deck templates to writing better goal conditions. More importantly, I show how to connect these to Supabase so your work persists across sessions. Building autonomous workflows means your agent library is available on any machine, ensuring the persistent memory you build once is ready to use every time you spin up a new instance.
