Opt-in background scheduling for host-known delegated sessions, supported cron execution and explicit worker profiles using an existing Adaptive Inference gateway. Interactive and explicitly classified requests retain their routing; model, tools, prompts, output limits and credentials are unchanged.

## Good to know before installing

Adds only X-Adaptive-Class on an exactly configured chat-completions endpoint. No network calls, file access, processes, telemetry or credential handling in plugin code. Uses a bounded in-memory session index. Cron detection requires the newer public execution-identity capability; auxiliary routing is an explicit provider configuration, not an auxiliary middleware claim.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install adaptive-inference-routing
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable adaptive-inference-routing
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
