btw¶

Hermes Wingtips #60: /bg vs /btw

(1) /bg hands a prompt to a separate session:

your Hermes Agent works on it in the background while your conversation stays free, and the result comes back when it is done.

(2) /btw is for a side question about the conversation you are already in:

it answers from a snapshot, so the task that is currently running never stops.

they also both work on messaging platforms, not only in the terminal.
