πΊοΈ Where Everything Is
The complete map of every file, folder, account, and backup β written so that if this computer died today, you (or Hermes) could rebuild everything from this one page plus the backups it points to.
π How to Use This Document
- Every path below is exact β drive letter and full folder. Copy and paste them into File Explorer.
- This file lives at
X:\Dropbox\WHERE-EVERYTHING-IS.html β inside Dropbox, so it is already backed up to the cloud. There is a second copy attached in the Hermes chat where it was created.
- Secrets are never written here. This document names the files that hold passwords and tokens, but never their contents. That keeps this page safe to keep around.
- Start with the red-flag section if the worst happens: π¨ PC Crash Restore Plan.
π½ Drives and Big Folders
Important discovery: there are TWO different Dropbox folders on this computer. They contain different files. Neither is a copy of the other. Knowing which one holds what is the single biggest time-saver when restoring.
Drive X: β the big legacy Dropbox (most stuff lives here)
X:\Dropbox\
| Folder | What it holds |
X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\ | Source code for every HTML report page ever built. One folder per website slug. This is the most important folder on the machine (see CF Pages). |
X:\Dropbox\hermes_projects\ | Working folders for major projects (digitalassetideas, loot47, dropsites, stucco-leadgen, planner-app, wfm-client, crushingdebts, and more). |
X:\Dropbox\loot47\ | The Loot47 product: sales page (get-loot47\), ad images, reports, and the sprint plan. |
X:\Dropbox\downloads\ad-tracker\ | Ad Tracker source code (the thing running at ad-tracker.seosemworks.workers.dev). |
X:\Dropbox\downloads\bfx_stucco_sites\ | Stucco lead-generation websites (synced to GitHub). |
X:\Dropbox\wfm-backups-mirror\ | Full website backups for fatiguedoctornc.com and heartburnreliefnc.com. |
X:\Dropbox\downloads\Hermes-Backup-Guide.md | Written backup guide for the Hermes system. |
X:\Dropbox\BUSINESS\, accounts\, personal\ | Old business records, accounting, personal files (long history, kept as-is). |
Drive C: β programs, Hermes, and the SECOND Dropbox
C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\ β a different Dropbox folder from X:\Dropbox\
| Folder | What it holds |
C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\downloads\leadgen-sites\ | The lead-generation site fleet (about 50 sites, synced to GitHub). Note: this is NOT on the X: drive. |
C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\downloads\buildfixinstall-research\ | Stucco research material. |
C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\downloads\cf-pages-index\ | Older index material. |
C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\ β the entire Hermes brain (see below)
C:\Users\webcl\My Drive\HermesBackups\ β nightly backups on Google Drive (see Backups)
π€ Hermes Agent Files (the brain of the assistant)
Everything Hermes knows and does lives in one folder:
C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\
| File or Folder | What it is | Must survive a crash? |
config.yaml | All Hermes settings: which AI models, tools, connections. | β
Yes |
.env | API keys and secrets for every service Hermes uses. | β
Yes |
state.db | Every conversation ever had with Hermes (very large file, about 1 gigabyte). | β
Yes |
auth.json | Login tokens (Google, GitHub, and other connected accounts). | β
Yes |
skills\ | All learned skills and procedures β backed up to GitHub every 6 hours. | β
Yes |
memories\ | Hermes's long-term memory about you and your projects. | β
Yes |
sessions\ | Session transcripts and routing data. | β
Yes |
cron\ | Scheduled automation jobs (backups run from here). | β
Yes |
logs\ | Error and activity logs β useful for debugging, not critical. | Nice to have |
scripts\ | backup-hermes.sh, skill-backup.sh β the backup scripts themselves. | β
Yes |
profiles\ | A second Hermes profile named "general" (separate skills and settings). | β
Yes |
plans\, projects.db, kanban.db | Project plans and task boards. | β
Yes |
π¦ Backups β Where They Are and What They Cover
| Backup | Where it lives | How often | What it covers |
| Hermes full backup | C:\Users\webcl\My Drive\HermesBackups\ (Google Drive β safe in the cloud) | Every night at 3:00 AM | Settings, memory, conversations, skills, credentials β one timestamped .tar.gz file per night. Currently 31 backup files kept. |
| Skills backup | GitHub: github.com/makbot2000/hermes-skills | Every 6 hours | All Hermes skills and procedures. |
| Website backups | X:\Dropbox\wfm-backups-mirror\ | Manual, when done | fatiguedoctornc.com and heartburnreliefnc.com full site copies. |
| Code backups | GitHub (four repositories, see GitHub) | Whenever pushed | Lead generation sites, stucco sites, Digital Asset Ideas blog, Hermes skills. |
| HTML report sources | X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\ (Dropbox β safe in the cloud) | Live sync | Every built page. Also live on the internet at its .pages.dev address. |
| Restore guides | C:\Users\webcl\My Drive\HermesBackups\RESTORE-GUIDE.md and RESTORE-INSTRUCTIONS.md | β | Step-by-step instructions for unpacking a Hermes backup. |
Bottom line: the two things that cannot be recreated are the Hermes brain and your project source folders. Both are backed up off this computer right now β the Hermes brain to Google Drive nightly, the project folders to Dropbox continuously and GitHub on push.
π¨ PC Crash Restore Plan (do these in order)
- Get a new PC and install Dropbox and Google Drive for desktop. Both folders sync back automatically β
X:\Dropbox content and C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox content return, including this document.
- Install Hermes Agent (the installer is saved at
C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\hermes-setup.exe, also downloadable from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com).
- Restore the Hermes brain: take the newest file from
C:\Users\webcl\My Drive\HermesBackups\, extract it into C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\, restart Hermes. The written guide sits in that same folder: RESTORE-GUIDE.md.
- Reconnect GitHub: credentials file is
C:\Users\webcl\.git-credentials. The GitHub account is makbot2000. Clone or pull the four repositories listed in GitHub.
- Reconnect Cloudflare: the three token files in the home folder (see Credentials) plus one login command. Account details in Cloudflare.
- Re-check cloud services that need no local files β just logins: Google Sheets, GoHighLevel, Clerk, Convex, Stripe, Hostinger. Roster in Cloud Services.
- Ask Hermes to verify. Once Hermes runs, ask it to read this document and confirm every location in it still checks out.
π©οΈ Cloudflare β Four Separate Accounts
There are four Cloudflare accounts. Each holds different websites. Tokens are stored in files in your home folder.
| Account | Account ID | Token file | What lives there |
| Webcliksnow (main) | aed9dfe0135fffb5d40dad0ee9fa0472 | Set as a Windows environment variable CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, plus a wrangler login in C:\Users\webcl\.wrangler\ | Almost every HTML report site (the ~100 projects in X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\). Account is at its project limit β new pages may need an old project deleted first. |
| seosemworks | 28fd7aa019871684401013717275d653 | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-seosem.env | digitalassetideas.com, and Workers like the Ad Tracker (ad-tracker.seosemworks.workers.dev). |
| buildfixinstall (stucco) | 7383889facf597c47451c81466983e93 | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-buildfixinstall.env | The stucco lead-generation websites. |
| shane | 7e795bddde91d4bdeece157b31560ac9 | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-shane.env | The Loot47 ads page (loot47-ads). |
Account IDs are safe to share (they appear in the dashboard); the tokens inside those files are not.
π CF Pages β How the HTML Files Get Built and Deployed
Every report, tool page, and microsite follows the same convention. Understand this and you understand where every HTML file "goes":
- Build it here first: create a folder
X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\<slug>\ and put index.html in it. The folder name IS the website address.
- Deploy it to Cloudflare Pages. It goes live at
https://<slug>.pages.dev.
- Register it on the master index at cf-pages-index-3ay.pages.dev β the one page that lists every site ever deployed.
X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\cf-pages-index-3ay\ β source for the master index (includes add_index_card.py β never hand-edit the big index.html, it corrupts)
X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\cf-pages-index-3ay-clean-backup-20261006.html β clean backup of the index if it ever corrupts
Rule to remember: the local folder in X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\ is the source of truth. If the live website and the local file ever disagree, redeploy from the local folder.
π GitHub β Four Repositories (account: makbot2000)
| Repository | Lives on this PC at | What it is |
| leadgen-sites | C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\downloads\leadgen-sites | The 50-site lead generation fleet (branches: main and dev). |
| bfx_stucco_sites | X:\Dropbox\downloads\bfx_stucco_sites | Stucco lead-gen sites (one folder per domain under sites\). |
| DAI_BLOG | X:\Dropbox\hermes_projects\digitalassetideas | The Digital Asset Ideas blog source. |
| hermes-skills | C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\skills | All Hermes skills β pushed automatically every 6 hours. |
Login token file: C:\Users\webcl\.git-credentials.
π Project Folders β Who Is Who
| Project | Source folder | Goes live at |
| Digital Asset Ideas (editorial blog) | X:\Dropbox\hermes_projects\digitalassetideas\ | digitalassetideas.com |

| Ad Tracker | X:\Dropbox\downloads\ad-tracker\ | ad-tracker.seosemworks.workers.dev |
| Lead generation fleet (~50 local service sites) | C:\Users\webcl\Dropbox\downloads\leadgen-sites | Various domains |
| Stucco lead-gen sites | X:\Dropbox\downloads\bfx_stucco_sites\ | Stucco domains (buildfixinstall account) |
| WFM client sites (fatigue + heartburn) | X:\Dropbox\wfm-project\, backups at X:\Dropbox\wfm-backups-mirror\ | fatiguedoctornc.com, heartburnreliefnc.com |

| Dropsites, Planner app, Rank and Rent, Crushing Debts | X:\Dropbox\hermes_projects\ (matching folder names) | Various report pages in X:\Dropbox\cf-pages\ |
π Google Sheets (cloud β survive any crash)
| Sheet | What it holds | Link |
| CONTENT_ADS | Ad and content ideas. The "Business Lines" tab is the master list of every project. | Open CONTENT_ADS |
| SKILLS | Catalog of tools, repositories, and AI skills. | Open SKILLS |
| IDEAS | Business and content ideas (source links in the last column). | Open IDEAS |
Rule for these sheets: append new rows with the current date; ask you before deleting or overwriting anything.
π Where Credentials Live (file names only β never the values)
| Credential | File location |
| Cloudflare token β seosemworks account | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-seosem.env |
| Cloudflare token β buildfixinstall account | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-buildfixinstall.env |
| Cloudflare token β shane account | C:\Users\webcl\.cf-shane.env |
| Cloudflare token β Webcliksnow account | Windows environment variable CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN + login in C:\Users\webcl\.wrangler\ |
| GitHub login | C:\Users\webcl\.git-credentials |
| Google login (for Sheets and Drive) | C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\google_token.json and google_client_secret.json |
| All other service API keys | C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\.env |
| Website logins and passwords | Hermes encrypted vault (inside the Hermes folder) β unlocked through the Hermes app, never written in plain text. |
βοΈ Cloud Services Roster (who is who)
| Service | What it does here | How to get in |
| Cloudflare | Hosting for all report pages, DNS for domains, Workers, R2 storage. | Four accounts above. Dash: dash.cloudflare.com |

| Vercel | Hosting for Video Studio. | vercel.com. |
| OpenSEO | SEO tracking β projects: digitalleveragemarketing.com and thyroiddoctornc.com. | API key inside Hermes configuration. |
β° Automations (things that run without you)
| Job | Schedule | What it does | Where configured |
| hermes-nightly-backup | Every night, 3:00 AM | Packs up the whole Hermes brain into Google Drive. | C:\Users\webcl\AppData\Local\hermes\cron\ |
| Skill Backup to GitHub | Every 6 hours | Pushes all skills to the hermes-skills repository. | Same folder. |
Both jobs need the computer to be awake at the scheduled time. If it is off, the backup simply waits for the next run.
