The Hermes
Framework
Moving Between Worlds
Hermes represents one of the most distinctive thinking patterns in their field. Hermes's approach — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The moving between worlds framework distils Hermes's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Hermes made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Hermes's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
A glimpse of Hermes's thinking.
Every world has its own logic, and the messenger who arrives without first reading that logic will be refused at the door. Hermes does not dissolve into the worlds he enters. He moves through them by holding his own center while speaking the local tongue, which is why the gods trust him with the dead and the dead do not detain him. The boundary itself is not an obstacle. It is the site where value is created, because anything that can cross a boundary becomes rare on the other side.
