Boardstate

A live board your agent builds for you: tabs of notes, tables, charts, KPI cards and live Hermes data, in the dashboard and Hermes Desktop. It appears as a Board tab in the dashboard and a page in Desktop, and the agent lays it out with 19 native boardstate_* tools, approval widgets included. Runs a local Node >= 20 sidecar on loopback with a per-spawn nonce; no network access unless you opt in to operator-gated connectors.

Good to know before installing

Spawns a local Node.js ≥20 sidecar (from PATH/HERMES_NODE_BIN, nothing downloaded) on 127.0.0.1 on first use; state under HERMES_HOME/boardstate-state/. Reads the dashboard's loopback session token from Hermes internals (web_server._SESSION_TOKEN) and passes it to the sidecar for live usage/sessions/cron widgets; mounts one token-gated static route for approved widget assets. No outbound network unless you author boardstate.connectors.json (stdio/HTTP MCP connectors); connector actions need operator approval. Ships one plugin skill, boardstate:boardstate-report-problem, which drafts a bug report and files it with the GitHub CLI only after the user approves the exact text.

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.
    hermes plugins install boardstate
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable boardstate
  3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
