ai_thoughts

中文版

A collection of articles and essays covering two main themes: using AI tools to run a lean one-person business, and hands-on experience with OpenClaw 🦞 and Hermes Agent ⚕ — with recent focus on Hermes as my primary AI agent platform. Topics range from practical how-tos (building custom skills, hardening a self-hosted deployment) to more personal writing (motorcycle culture, solo entrepreneurship).

Images for each article live in the imgs/ subdirectory and follow the same YYMMDDHHММ_slug naming convention as the articles themselves.
