Redacted showcase of the Hermes Agent setup behind Gumroad operations, with 273 skills and 78 cron loops
Gumclaw is a redacted architectural showcase of a single autonomous agent, running on Hermes Agent, that Antiwork says operates Gumroad's support, risk, fraud, finance, compliance and engineering work. It documents the skills, cron loops and memory files behind it.
What Gumclaw does
The README describes three layers. There are 273 skills as procedural memory, 146 of them in a gumroad domain with the rest spread across software development, creative, productivity, mlops, devops and more. There are 78 cron loops as the autonomous heartbeat, some every 2 minutes for watchdogs and others daily or weekly. And there are two memory files, MEMORY.md and USER.md, injected into every turn. A SOUL.md file carries the personality, and inputs include the support queue, GitHub webhooks, Sentry issues and Telegram DMs.
Actions are split into autonomous (reply, refund, close, suspend for fraud), gated (ship code, payouts, public posts) and human-only (paying taxes, irreversible spend). Guardrails include confirm-before-every-payment, critic and backstop passes that re-verify actions on a timer, and an anti-fabrication rule requiring a live source. Every credential, production endpoint, customer record and seller identity has been removed, so the repository explains how the brain is built and is not meant to be run.
