30% of OpenClaw users have switched to Hermes Agent per a 1,300-comment Reddit analysis. Hermes overtook OpenClaw as #1 on OpenRouter daily rankings in May 2026 (224B vs 186B daily tokens). But migration is manual. Users copy configs by hand, rewrite skill formats, reconnect channels one-by-one, and lose conversation history. The 25% who run both agents side-by-side do it with no shared state. This tool reads an OpenClaw config, translates agent definitions and skill references to Hermes format, migrates channel tokens (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp), converts memory stores, and supports a shadow-run mode where both agents process turns simultaneously for validation before cutover.
