+# Evey Autonomy plugin customization
+
+The autonomy plugin now reads optional instance-specific config from:
+
+- `$HERMES_AUTONOMY_CONFIG`, if set
+- otherwise `$HERMES_HOME/evey-autonomy.json`
+
+If no file exists, defaults are tuned for Brendan's Hermes instance:
+
+```json
+{
+  "operator_name": "Brendan",
+  "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
+  "heavy_model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
+  "cheap_model": "claude-haiku-4-5",
+  "bridge_peer_names": ["claude-code", "mother", "pr-agent", "copilot"],
+  "projects": [
+    {"name": "aries-app", "path": "/home/node/aries-app", "base_branch": "master", "importance": 9}
+  ],
+  "disabled_sources": []
+}
+```
+
+## What changed from the original Evey-specific version
+
+- Timezone is configurable; default is `America/Los_Angeles`, not hardcoded Berlin.
+- Model recommendations are configurable; defaults use Hermes/Claude slugs instead of Evey/OpenClaw aliases.
+- Routing recommends Hermes-native tools (`delegate_task`, `web_search`, `terminal`, `patch`, `send_message`, `claude_bridge_check`).
+- Bridge language no longer assumes only “Mother”; peer names are configurable.
+- Adds `projects` collection for local git repositories such as `/home/node/aries-app`.
+- Planning includes Brendan/Hermes workflows like PR/project checks and Gmail maintenance.
+
+## Install locally
+
+```bash
+cp -r evey-autonomy ~/.hermes/plugins/
+# restart gateway or start a new Hermes session
+```
+
+## Disable noisy sources
+
+```json
+{
+  "disabled_sources": ["time", "projects"]
+}
+```
+
+Available sources: `bridge`, `goals`, `projects`, `memory`, `cron`, `time`.
