cron, skills, mcp : les trois couches

hermes cron : les tâches planifiées

usage: hermes cron [-h] [--accept-hooks]
                   {list,create,add,edit,pause,resume,run,remove,rm,delete,status,runs,history,incidents,notepad,doctor,tick}
                   ...

    pause               Pause a scheduled job
    resume              Resume a paused job
    run                 Run a job on the next scheduler tick

                        Remove a scheduled job

                        across runs)

    tick                Run due jobs once and exit

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --accept-hooks        Auto-approve unseen shell hooks without a TTY prompt

                        hooks_auto_accept: true).

--accept-hooks autorise les hooks d'exécution. Le mode --no-agent d'une tâche livre la sortie d'un script pur, sans jetons de modèle : le bon choix pour les tâches fixes qui n'exigent aucun raisonnement.

Un skill est un dossier SKILL.md plus des fichiers annexes. L'agent le charge quand la tâche correspond à son déclencheur. Un skill tiers s'audite comme un script tiers : lisez-le avant d'installer.

Ajouter un serveur, tester la connexion, borner la surface de confiance : le test se fait avant tout usage en production, avec un périmètre minimal et révocable.

Quelle couche pour quel besoin

• Heure fixe, action stable : cron
• Procédure que vous répétée à la main depuis des semaines : skill
• Capacité manquante (navigateur, API métier) : serveur MCP
