 **Why it works:** Naturally models the wizard hierarchy. Queries like "who can do X?" and "what blocks task Y?" resolve instantly.

-### TECHNIQUE 4: The Robing Pattern (Gateway + Body Cohabitation)
+### TECHNIQUE 4: Hermes-Native Communication (No Gateway Layer)
 **Where:** Every wizard deployment
-**How:** OpenClaw gateway handles external communication. Hermes body handles reasoning. Both on same machine via localhost. Four states: Robed, Unrobed, Lobster, Dead.
-**Why it works:** Separation of concerns. Gateway can restart without losing agent state.
-**Every agent must:** Know their own state. A Lobster is a failure. Report it.
+**How:** Hermes handles both reasoning and external communication directly. No intermediary gateway. Two states: Online (Hermes running) or Dead (nothing running).
+**Why it works:** Single process. No split-brain failure modes. No Lobster state possible.
+**Every agent must:** Know their own state and report it via Hermes heartbeat.
 
 ### TECHNIQUE 5: Cron-Driven Autonomous Work Dispatch
-**Where:** openclaw-work.sh, task-monitor.sh, progress-report.sh
+**Where:** hermes-work.sh, task-monitor.sh, progress-report.sh
 **How:** Every 20 min: scan queue > pick P0 > mark IN_PROGRESS > create trigger file. Every 10 min: check completion. Every 30 min: progress report to father-messages/.
 **Why it works:** No human needed for steady-state. Self-healing. Self-reporting.
 **Every agent must:** Have a work queue. Have a cron schedule. Report progress.
