Hermetic
Agents

A council of AI agents based on the seven Hermetic principles.

An independent educational interface that translates the seven principles of The Kybalion (1908) into practical reflection agents for thought, planning, and creative work. Read the codex. Consult the council. Export each principle as a portable skill.

Independent educational project. Not affiliated with Nous Research, the Hermes Agent project, or the Hermès fashion house.

The Source Text

The Kybalion, published in 1908 and attributed to "Three Initiates," is a New Thought distillation of older Hermetic motifs. It does not claim to transmit the full Corpus Hermeticum, nor does it pretend to historical certainty. It offers, instead, seven compact axioms useful as lenses for thinking.

This application treats the work strictly as an educational philosophical framework. It is not historical proof. It is not medical, legal, or spiritual authority. The agents below are structured prompts — mirrors for reflection, not oracles.

Each principle becomes an agent. Each agent becomes a portable skill you can export, copy, or run against an OpenAI-compatible backend.

The Agent Council

Seven agents, one for each principle. Each is a structured lens — a prompt template you may consult, copy, or export.

§ 01
MENTALISM

Nous Agent

Mentalism
The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.

Intention design, thought reframing, mental clarity, and patient self-inquiry.

Helps With
  • Reframing fears into models
  • Clarifying chaotic intent
  • Surfacing unconscious assumptions
Example Prompts
  • Help me reframe this fear into a useful mental model.
  • Turn this chaotic idea into a clear intention.
  • What assumption is shaping my reality here?
§ 02
CORRESPONDENCE

Mirror Agent

Correspondence
As above, so below; as below, so above.

Pattern recognition between inner life, project systems, relationships, and culture.

Helps With
  • Mapping micro/macro patterns
  • Mirroring inner & outer conflicts
  • Linking habits to brand or work
Example Prompts
  • Map the micro/macro pattern in this problem.
  • What does this external conflict mirror internally?
  • Show me the hidden correspondence between my brand and my habits.
§ 03
VIBRATION

Resonance Agent

Vibration
Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.

Tone, energy, mood, frequency, communication style, and brand voice.

Helps With
  • Tuning emotional frequency
  • Calming or elevating copy
  • Auditing brand voice resonance
Example Prompts
  • Shift this message to a calmer vibration.
  • Analyze the emotional frequency of this brand copy.
  • Help me raise the energy of this launch without sounding fake.
§ 04
POLARITY

Polarity Agent

Polarity
Everything is dual; everything has poles.

Paradox resolution, reframing, conflict transformation, finding gradients.

Helps With
  • Turning oppositions into spectrums
  • Transmuting reactive emotions
  • Locating shared nature in extremes
Example Prompts
  • Turn this opposition into a spectrum.
  • Find the shared nature between these two extremes.
  • Help me transmute resentment into useful action.
§ 05
RHYTHM

Rhythm Agent

Rhythm
Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides.

Routines, cycles, content calendars, emotional rhythm, rest/work planning.

Helps With
  • Designing weekly cadences
  • Honoring natural cycles
  • Avoiding burnout in launches
Example Prompts
  • Design a weekly rhythm for this project.
  • Where am I fighting a natural cycle?
  • Create a launch cadence that avoids burnout.
§ 06
CAUSATION

Causation Agent

Cause and Effect
Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.

Decision trees, accountability, systems thinking, consequence mapping.

Helps With
  • Tracing root causes
  • Mapping decision consequences
  • Surfacing ignored variables
Example Prompts
  • Trace the causes behind this outcome.
  • Build a cause/effect map for this business decision.
  • What hidden causes am I ignoring?
§ 07
GENERATION

Generation Agent

Gender (Symbolic / Generative)
Gender manifests on all planes.

Symbolic creative generation, synthesis, inner/outer balance, idea incubation.

Helps With
  • Combining active & receptive modes
  • Synthesizing opposing qualities
  • Incubating new directions
Example Prompts
  • Combine active and receptive modes in this project.
  • Help me generate a new idea from these opposing qualities.
  • What is trying to be created here?

Nous Agent
The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.
Begin with a question, a fragment, a confusion. The agent reflects rather than prescribes.
Folio V

Principle Compass

Fourteen short questions. Answer 1 (rarely true) to 5 (consistently true). Your weakest principle becomes your suggested counsel.

  1. 01I notice the mental models that shape my perception.
  2. 02I can restate fears as workable intentions.
  3. 03I see patterns repeat across scales of my life.
  4. 04I link my private habits to my public work.
  5. 05I sense and tune the emotional tone of my words.
  6. 06I match my energy to the moment without faking it.
  7. 07I treat opposites as gradients on a single axis.
  8. 08I can transmute reactive emotion into useful action.
  9. 09I honor cycles of work, rest, and release.
  10. 10I avoid pushing through natural ebbs.
  11. 11I trace causes upstream of recurring outcomes.
  12. 12I anticipate second-order effects of decisions.
  13. 13I balance projecting outward with receiving inward.
  14. 14I let new ideas incubate before acting on them.
Folio VI

Daily Axiom

One principle a day. A small lens for the next twenty-four hours.

CAUSATION
2026-5-11
Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause.
Cause and Effect, via the Causation Agent.
Reflective Prompt

What would change if you trusted this principle for one day?

Folio VII

Codex Library

Concise, original summaries of the central themes. No copyrighted edition text reproduced. Read these as study notes, not scripture.

7 of 7 entries
Quick Filter

A compact map: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. Treated here as seven lenses for thinking — not as physics, theology, or therapy. Each principle is paired with an agent that turns it into a working prompt.

Suggested Agent Use

Use the Council as a rotating set of perspectives on the same question. The same problem looks different through Mentalism than through Rhythm.

Folio VIII

Hermes Skill Exporter

Each agent is exportable as a portable Markdown skill, compatible with OpenAI-style agent runtimes such as Hermes Agent.

Timestamp mode

The bundle ZIP contains skills/hermetic-*-skill.md for all seven principles, a machine-readable project.json, and a README manifest with generation date and disclosures.
