The idea in one minute

Start with meaning, then move to detail.

This lesson explains Provider Runtime Resolution as part of Hermes internals and extension points. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.

If you are new

If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?

For hands-on use

For practice, open the source, choose one section, and write an expected result before changing configuration.

For specialists

For advanced readers, inspect Resolution precedence, Providers, Output of runtime resolution, then verify failure modes and version compatibility.

What do you need first?

Know Python, Git, and basic project structure before changing code.

What will you know?

A clear outcome before you read.

  • Understand Provider Runtime Resolution without assumed prior knowledge.
  • Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
  • Write one sentence describing what should change after applying this topic.
Lesson terms

Short definitions before the details.

Provider
The service that runs or provides access and authentication to a model.
Gateway
The process that connects Hermes to channels such as Telegram or Discord and routes messages.
Official page description

How Hermes resolves providers, credentials, API modes, and auxiliary models at runtime

    Finish here to verify the result and special cases.

Try it now

Write one sentence describing what should change after applying this topic.

Match every command to your installed Hermes version, review the files and accounts it can reach, and use non-sensitive data for the first test. If this explanation differs from the source, the official source wins.

Knowledge check

Three decisions before completion.

1. What is the source of truth when “Provider Runtime Resolution” changes?
2. What is the best way to apply this lesson?
3. What should happen before a step can modify files or an external account?
