hermes-inbox-router

hermes-inbox-router (orchestrator)

Why this exists

Replies vanish when LinkedIn/Reddit/email each have their own log location and no unified surface. hermes-daily-audit (06:00 CT) needs ONE source of truth for "new replies in last 24h" so Cooper sees the funnel section accurately. This skill aggregates them.

Output schema (canonical)

data/hermes_inbox/<YYYY-MM>/<reply_id>.json:

{
  "reply_id": "<surface>-<8-hex>",
  "surface": "linkedin|reddit|email",
  "from": "@handle or email-address",
  "body": "...",
  "in_reply_to": "<outbound_id or null>",
  "received_at": "<iso8601>",
  "status": "new"
}

reply_id is unique across surfaces (prefix avoids collision). received_at in UTC. status: new until hermes-daily-audit (or another consumer) flips it.

Procedure

DRYRUN="${HERMES_INBOX_DRYRUN:-0}"
MONTH=$(date +%Y-%m)
INBOX_DIR=${REPO_ROOT}/data/hermes_inbox/$MONTH
mkdir -p "$INBOX_DIR"

# Sub-skill 1: Reddit (cheap, no auth)
REDDIT_OUT=$(timeout 60 bash ${OPENCLAW_HOME}/skills/reddit-reply-poll/run.sh "$DRYRUN" 2>&1)
echo "[hermes-inbox-router] reddit: $REDDIT_OUT"

# Sub-skill 2: LinkedIn (browser CDP, gated on auth)
LI_OUT=$(timeout 90 bash ${OPENCLAW_HOME}/skills/linkedin-reply-poll/run.sh "$DRYRUN" 2>&1)
echo "[hermes-inbox-router] linkedin: $LI_OUT"

# Sub-skill 3: email (IMAP, gated on creds; native email-as-trigger when wired)
EMAIL_OUT=$(timeout 30 bash ${OPENCLAW_HOME}/skills/email-reply-poll/run.sh "$DRYRUN" 2>&1)
echo "[hermes-inbox-router] email: $EMAIL_OUT"

# Sub-skills write directly to $INBOX_DIR. Aggregate count for log.
NEW_COUNT=$(find "$INBOX_DIR" -name "*.json" -newermt "15 minutes ago" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
echo "[hermes-inbox-router] aggregated: $NEW_COUNT new in last 15min — month total $(ls "$INBOX_DIR" 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"

Sub-skill contract

Each sub-skill (linkedin-reply-poll, reddit-reply-poll, email-reply-poll) takes one arg ("1" for dry-run, anything else for live) and:
