Session command tray — shell commands the Hermes agent ran via the terminal tool (success and failure). Desktop pane and /commands. No API keys.

## Good to know before installing

Records terminal commands with exit code, workdir and a 160-char redacted output preview to $HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/command-tray/state.json; the Desktop pane inserts text through Hermes Desktop's internal hermes:composer-insert event (not a public SDK API) with clipboard fallback; no network.

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 command-tray
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable command-tray
```

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
