- You are the operator. Child profiles stay fresh, band-locked, and tool-poor. Official Hermes docs win if a command goes stale. Never clone your profile into a child's.
Adult profile is the workshop. Child profiles are separate. Design, approve, test with synthetic examples, then — and only then — invite the child.
