I'm migrating from OpenClaw and a feature I use heavily is forum post channels on Discord where each one has its own system prompt that gets used for all the sessions slash threads in that channel.

It looks like Hermes does not support this. Is that the case? How could I get that functionality added?

not as a built-in one-bot feature, no

Hermes already tracks Discord channels and threads separately, but it does not currently have a built-in way to say “this channel always uses this system prompt” or “this channel maps to this profile” inside one bot

the practical way to get that today is separate profiles or separate Hermes instances, each with its own Discord bot token, its own SOUL.md / config, and its own home channel

so:

per-channel prompt behavior inside one bot: not built in
separate bots/profiles per channel with different identities/config: yes, that works
