A user wants a fully local desktop agent stack for file ops and small scripts

A Reddit user asks for a local offline agent setup around Hermes and Gemma 4 12B for desktop assistance.
Their intended use case is modest: creating folders, writing text/Markdown files, and occasionally running small scripts.
They’re considering:
- Hermes + Ollama
- an MCP client
- which MCP servers to install for the workflow
The post is basically a request for a practical stack recommendation for a small local desktop agent.
