Live per-Bot activity timeline for Hermes Desktop: turns, tool calls (arguments, result, duration), approvals and Group Chat streams, grouped by Bot or by Group Chat, with one-click tracking for new Bots.

## Good to know before installing

Local only, no network or telemetry; records every Bot profile's turns, assistant replies, tool arguments and results, approval commands and Group Chat streams (redacted with agent.redact, capped per field, 3-day / 20k-row retention) into one SQLite file shared by all profiles under plugin-data/bot-activity; reads each Bot profile's state.db, profile.yaml and config.yaml read-only; Track now / Update runs `hermes -p <bot> plugins install <same source> --ref <same sha> --enable --yes-deps` (or copies the plugin and runs `plugins enable`) in the Bot profiles you track, never re-enabling one you disabled.

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 bot-activity
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable bot-activity
```

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
