Build a BenAgent Prompt Inventory for Hermes and OpenClaw
Create reusable BenAgent prompts for Hermes and OpenClaw so repeated desktop workflows stay consistent across Quick Chat, voice, and saved prompt sends.
Prompt Inventory is for repeated work. Instead of rewriting the same instruction every morning, save the prompt once, review it, and send it to the selected Hermes or OpenClaw runtime when the context is right.
Good inventory items
- Daily planning prompts that ask the runtime to use a fixed structure.
- Review prompts for PR notes, changelogs, meeting notes, or incident summaries.
- Safe setup checks that avoid tools unless you approve them in the runtime.
- Drafting prompts where BenAgent should show the answer on the Mac before you paste it elsewhere.
Write prompts that survive provider changes
Do not hard-code provider-specific behavior unless the prompt depends on it. A good inventory prompt should make sense whether the selected runtime is Hermes or OpenClaw, while still allowing each runtime to use its own tools and skills.
Name the task
Use a short title that describes the result, such as Daily Standup Draft or Review Build Failure.
Define the output shape
Ask for bullets, a table, a checklist, or a short message. This keeps replies predictable inside the BenAgent bubble.
State tool boundaries
If the prompt should not run commands, say so. If it may inspect local files, make the target path explicit and let the runtime handle approvals.
Starter prompts
Summarize this note into five action items. Keep names, dates, and blockers intact.
Review this terminal error. List likely causes, then give the smallest safe next check.
Draft a reply I can paste into Slack. Keep it under 120 words and do not invent status.Prompt Inventory is not a skill system
A saved BenAgent prompt is a reusable user instruction. Hermes skills and OpenClaw skills are runtime-side instructions that teach the agent about tools. Use Prompt Inventory for repeated human intent, and runtime skills for repeated tool procedure.
Ready to bring agent-first work to your Mac?
Install BenAgent, connect Hermes or OpenClaw, verify the endpoint and its access boundary, then delegate one safe result you can review before relying on longer work.
