Clor helps coding agents run repeat tasks
Clor is a CLI that lets a coding agent create and run repeat tasks. Its maker says tools like Hermes had good ideas, but failed too often in real work and raised security worries. For hermes-agent.nousresearch.com users, the useful lesson is to check permissions, safety, and failure handling before trusting an agent with real tasks.
Key points
- Clor treats a coding agent as a tool for everyday automation, not only code work.
- It follows a simple pattern: wake up, do the job, then go back to sleep.
- When using Hermes, first check what the agent can access, what happens when it fails, and how risky actions are limited.
