Hermes Agent for Bluesky: A Serial Story, Week by Week
Let Hermes Agent remember your serial story's characters and earlier chapters, draft each weekly chapter as a Bluesky thread and keep continuity, with every thread approved in Tareno.
Can Hermes Agent remember my serial story and draft each weekly chapter as a Bluesky thread?
Yes. Hermes Agent keeps your characters, places and published chapters in memory, drafts each weekly chapter as a Bluesky thread of up to 25 posts of 300 characters, and flags anything that contradicts earlier chapters. You write the story; it keeps the record. Scheduling stays pending until you approve it in Tareno.
Serial fiction has found a natural format in threads: a chapter a week, each a few posts long, read by people who return on the same day. What breaks serials is not the idea but the record. By chapter nine, nobody remembers whether the lighthouse keeper's dog is called Moss or Mott, or that the harbour froze in chapter three. Hermes Agent keeps context between sessions, which is what a serial needs, and Bluesky is the one network where Tareno saves a whole thread as one draft. This page follows a fiction writer through a weekly routine, with the continuity check that earns its place and the line it does not cross: the author writes the story.
Example: a writer publishes a weekly serial about a lighthouse keeper
Imagine a writer in the ninth week of a lighthouse serial. Hermes remembers the characters, the places and the events of the first eight chapters. She sends the new chapter, written by her, as a text of 1,900 characters. Hermes splits it into a root post and six replies of up to 300 characters, ending each on a beat, and flags that the dog is called Mott in the new text and Moss in chapter four. She confirms Moss. Hermes saves the thread as one draft with create_drafts and, in a second step, offers a recap of the previous chapter for the root post.
Step by step
01
Give Hermes the story bible once
Tell it the characters, places, timeline and style rules. Hermes keeps this between sessions and updates it as chapters are published.
02
Send the chapter you wrote
The writing is yours. Paste the chapter, and ask Hermes only to split it into posts and to check it against the record.
03
Check continuity
Hermes compares names, places and events with the bible and with published chapters, and lists contradictions. Tell it which version is right so the record stays true.
04
Split into posts that end on beats
Ask for a root post and replies, each within 300 characters and ending on a small turn so readers tap on. Tareno saves up to 24 replies after the root.
05
Save the thread as one draft
Hermes confirms the account with list_accounts and saves the root and the replies through create_drafts in one call. Read the thread top to bottom in Tareno.
06
Request a weekly slot and approve
Give the weekday, the time and an IANA time zone. The request becomes a pending action, and you approve it in the Tareno dashboard each week.
Prompts to copy
Store the story bible
Remember this story bible for my serial: [characters, places, timeline, style rules]. Also remember each chapter as I publish it. Tell me what you stored, and list anything in it that is ambiguous, such as two names for the same place.
Check the new chapter
Here is chapter nine, written by me: [text]. Compare it with the story bible and chapters one to eight and list every contradiction: names, places, dates and events. Quote the earlier line next to the new one, and do not change my text.
Split into a thread
Split chapter nine into a Bluesky thread for Tareno: a root post and replies, each within 300 characters, each ending on a small turn. Keep my wording and only cut at sentence boundaries, and give me the character count of every post.
Save and request
Use Tareno to confirm my Bluesky account [handle] and save the approved thread as one draft. After I confirm, ask for [Friday 18:00] in the [Europe/Berlin] time zone and return the draft ID and the pending action ID.

What Tareno can read

Network-specific
a drafted thread can have up to 24 replies of 300 characters each
As configured in Tareno on 2026-10-24. The live rules for your own account come from the get_platform_schema tool.
What Bluesky itself documents
Post text is limited to 300 graphemes and 3,000 bytes, so an emoji counts as one grapheme but can use several bytes.
A post can embed up to 4 images, each up to 2,000,000 bytes.
Video embeds accept MP4 up to 300,000,000 bytes, with up to 20 caption files in WebVTT. Tareno's configuration is stricter: one MP4 of up to 180 seconds and 100 MB.
Tareno saves a Bluesky thread as one draft of a root post and up to 24 replies, each up to 300 characters, so a chapter of about 7,000 characters is the most one thread can carry.
Tareno does not read posts or replies on Bluesky, so Hermes's memory of published chapters depends on what you tell it, not on reading your account.
Tareno's configuration for Bluesky allows up to four images per post, so a chapter can open with an illustration in the root post.
A thread is published as a unit, so a typo found after approval cannot be fixed by adding a reply through Tareno.
What does not work
Hermes Agent cannot write the story for you and should not rewrite your text, since it checks and splits what you wrote.
It cannot read your published chapters on Bluesky through Tareno, so its record depends on what you give it.
It cannot make the thread appear on its own, since a time request becomes a thread only after you approve it in the Tareno dashboard.
Mistakes to avoid
Letting the record drift. Update the bible when you change a detail on purpose.
Cutting mid-sentence to fit 300 characters. Cut at sentence boundaries or rewrite.
Assuming Hermes read your account. It only knows what you told it.
Publishing a chapter with an unresolved contradiction. Fix it before approval, since the thread publishes as one unit.
Open the client's MCP server settings. Add Tareno with the HTTPS endpoint below using Streamable HTTP. This requires support for authenticated remote MCP, not just local stdio servers.
Choose OAuth, connect and sign in with your own Tareno account. Check the requested permissions. Refresh the client's tool list after authorization.
Run list_accounts first. Confirm the returned workspace and account IDs before creating a draft. If no accounts appear, connect a social account in Tareno first.

Use the same Tareno account across supported clients. Open the relevant setup guide for authentication, first use, reconnect, and revocation.
No. It keeps the record, checks your chapter against it and splits your text into posts. The prose stays yours, which is also what readers of serial fiction expect.
How does Hermes know what I published before?
From what you give it. Tareno does not read posts on Bluesky, so you paste each chapter as you publish it, or ask Hermes to store the approved thread text at the same time as the draft.
How long can one chapter be?
A root post plus up to 24 replies, each up to 300 characters, so around 7,000 characters at most. Most chapters work better at a third of that, which keeps the thread readable.
What if I change a detail on purpose?
Tell Hermes that the earlier version is superseded and why. It updates the record so the continuity check does not flag the same change again in later chapters.
Can I attach an illustration?
Yes, up to four images on a post in Tareno's configuration, each up to 2 MB. An illustration in the root post works well, with alt text that describes the scene for readers who cannot see it.
Will a chapter be published without my approval?
No. A scheduling request is a pending action in Tareno, and Bluesky receives the thread only after you approve it in the dashboard. `get_action_status` shows what happened afterwards.
