Tell Cabinet the job you need done and it answers with the smallest setup that does it (one chat, a skill, a routine, a Bot or a crew), shows which answers led there, then helps you act: add one of botcabinet.com's 20 Bots (each with its test record shown) as a Hermes profile, plan a new Bot line by line, or set up a crew of Bots in a handoff order with blocked Kanban cards. Everything Cabinet makes can be removed again from My Bots, and a Bot that Hermes's own Bots catalog carries is handed over to it, never duplicated.

## Good to know before installing

Fetches its Bot catalog from https://botcabinet.com/catalog.json on open and Refresh (data only, 2 MB cap) and, after you confirm, creates Hermes profiles whose instructions (SOUL.md) come from that catalog; can create and archive Kanban cards for a crew; deletes only profiles it created that you have not changed; reads ~/.hermes/profiles and hashes profile files to track what it made; calls private Hermes modules (hermes_cli.profiles, kanban_db), so a Hermes update can break it; no shell, credentials, telemetry or self-updates.

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-cabinet-v2
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable bot-cabinet-v2
```

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
