Bills Invoices Agent for Hermes - stop chasing bills and invoices by hand

The free Bills Invoices Agent runs on Hermes as three plain-text files: set it up once in your Hermes workspace, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Bills Invoices Agent does

On Hermes, this agent's files and outputs stay entirely on your machine. It captures new bills and invoices, runs duplicate checks and builds a due-item review queue: vendor, invoice, amount, due date, duplicate check, review status.

Duplicate payments and late fees are tracking failures, not vendor problems. This assistant logs each bill with its key fields, flags possible duplicates against the tracker, and drafts approval requests and vendor queries. You approve what gets paid; the due-date surprise retires.

Where the Included files go in Hermes

Give Hermes the Included files in its workspace: skill.md becomes the standing skill, then run the setup prompt and approve the fictional-data test. Because Hermes is open-source and local-first, your prompts and outputs stay under your control.

What a run looks like on Hermes

A run looks like this: you ask Hermes to run bill-tracking with this run's inputs, and it works through the workspace skill. The output - it captures new bills and invoices, runs duplicate checks and builds a due-item review queue: vendor, invoice, amount, due date, duplicate check, review status - is written to your own workspace for review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Place skill.md in your Hermes workspace as the standing skill for the job (for example: bill tracking).
  2. Run setup-prompt.txt; the agent runs bill-tracking on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  3. Hermes is local-first and open-source, so the prompts, files and outputs stay under your control.
  4. Trigger each real run with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; the workspace persists between asks.

Honest limits on Hermes

Hermes is a young, fast-moving open-source project. Expect rough edges, and verify its current file-handling in its own docs before a big setup.
