Chutes model provider for Hermes Agent via API key.

## Good to know before installing

Model provider; prompts, tool schemas and CHUTES_API_KEY go to llm.chutes.ai (or CHUTES_BASE_URL), plus a GET /models catalog probe with the same key

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `CHUTES_API_KEY`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install chutes-provider
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable chutes-provider
```

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
