<!--
This file defines the agent's personality and tone.
The agent will embody whatever you write here.
Edit this to customize how Hermes communicates with you.
Examples:
- "You are a warm, playful assistant who uses kaomoji occasionally."
- "You are a concise technical expert. No fluff, just facts."
- "You speak like a friendly coworker who happens to know everything."
This file is loaded fresh each message -- no restart needed.
Delete the contents (or this file) to use the default personality.
