# Documentation

Hermes is a local-first environment built for focused writing. No cloud synchronization. No tracking. Just an interactive canvas designed for speed and status tracking.

01. Interactive Engine

### Click Actions

Elements in the editor are live. Clicking them modifies the underlying text automatically.

- Toggle Task Click `[ ]` or `[x]`
- Cycle Status Click any `#tag`
- Navigate CTRL + Click Link

### Smart Handling

The editor intercepts specific inputs to format your workflow without breaking your concentration.

Tip: Pasting a URL automatically generates a `[link](url)` and selects the label for immediate renaming.

02. Syntax Guide

### Workflow Lifecycle

#urgn→#todo→#prog→#done

Status tags are interactive. Clicking `#todo` transforms it to `#prog`, and eventually `#done`.

### Task Syntax

- `[ ]` Empty Checkbox
- `[x]` Completed (Fades out)

### Live Shortcodes

- ..dStamp Current Date
- {time} Stamp Current Time
- /Open Template Menu

### Link Logic

| Action        | Markdown Result          |
|--------------|--------------------------|
| Paste URL    | `[link](https://...)`    |
