Signed messaging with paired Hermes and OpenClaw agents, with receiver-controlled live and opt-in non-YOLO headless delivery.

## Good to know before installing

Runs a loopback-only Node receiver when listen_port is set (you expose only its HTTPS receive route); messages from paired peers become agent turns in the sessions you approve and may cause tool use, and opt-in background delivery runs them in non-YOLO sessions only; smart scanning sends message text through your configured provider; ClawReef Public Groups use a plaintext relay that ClawReef can read; identity keys, peer credentials, holds and receipts live in the profile's plugin-data/antenna (0700/0600) and backups contain credentials; policy and storage commands rewrite config.yaml (comments and formatting are lost).

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 antenna
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable antenna
```

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
