Secrets and local state

Gormes keeps configuration inspectable and routes secrets away from config.toml.

File or directoryPurpose
$GORMES_HOME/config.tomlNon-secret configuration.
$GORMES_HOME/.envProvider keys, bot tokens, and other secrets.
$GORMES_HOME/profiles/Profile-local config and state.
$GORMES_HOME/sessions/Persisted session state.
$GORMES_HOME/memory/Local memory and mirrors.
$GORMES_HOME/gormes.logRuntime log.

Default GORMES_HOME is ~/.gormes.

Prefer gormes config set. Secret-looking keys are routed to .env automatically.

Terminal window
gormes config set hermes.provider openai
gormes config set hermes.api_key sk-...
gormes config show
gormes config check

Do not commit or paste .env, provider keys, bot tokens, profile secrets, or session exports that contain private data.
