Quickstart — offline first success

Goal: one command, no API keys, no Hermes host, real receipt, brier: null.

From this repo

cd Hyperlex
python3 scripts/hyperlex.py demo

Equivalent explicit path:

export HYPERLEX_OFFLINE=1
python3 scripts/hyperlex.py pipeline "rizz" --route offline
# or: run "rizz" --route offline

What success looks like

Check	Expect
Exit code	0
ok	true
brier	null
Receipt	Path under ~/.hyperlex/receipts/ or demo out dir
Lineage	Often a family_id for known slang atoms

Verify the environment

python3 scripts/hyperlex.py doctor
python3 scripts/hyperlex.py smoke
python3 scripts/hyperlex.py check

After Hermes skill install

bash install.sh
export HERMES_SKILL_DIR="${HOME}/.hermes/skills/hyperlex"
export HLX="python3 $HERMES_SKILL_DIR/scripts/hyperlex.py"
$HLX demo
$HLX wizard --auto

Claude Code

bash install.sh --claude
export HYPERLEX_SKILL_DIR="${HOME}/.claude/skills/hyperlex"
export HLX="python3 $HYPERLEX_SKILL_DIR/scripts/hyperlex.py"
$HLX demo

Same offline first success. Hermes remains the default install.sh target; --claude is additive. Details: Claude skill.

Committed sample output
