Pairs this machine's Hermes bots with the AI Chipmunk mobile app from inside Hermes Desktop — pick a bot, get the reachable host, profile and API key as a scannable code. Registers a `hermes aichipmunk` CLI command, a desktop page and a dashboard API; no tools or hooks.

## Good to know before installing

On an explicit confirmed "Switch to Tailscale" it adds a persistent tailscale serve handler putting the API server's own port (plain HTTP inside the tailnet, API_SERVER_KEY auth) onto the tailnet; on a machine with no Tailscale CLI it instead runs hermes config set platforms.api_server.host <tailnet IP> on the owning profile and restarts that gateway; reads API_SERVER_KEY from every profile's .env on this machine on each status poll (masked in lists, the full key only in the pairing link and QR returned to an authenticated dashboard caller, which may be the phone over a published dashboard); shells out to the tailscale and hermes CLIs and probes only this machine's own /health; no third-party network calls.

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 aichipmunk
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable aichipmunk
```

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
