One /crew message becomes verified work on the kanban board. A coordinator owns every card until its proof command exits 0 - one writer per card, an independent verifier, a hard token budget per card, and a live local dashboard of every card, run and tool call.

## Good to know before installing

Install.py creates four crew-* profiles cloned from your chat profile (including its .env provider keys and memories), deletes non-crew skills in them, updates crew in other profiles and on Linux starts a loopback dashboard service (127.0.0.1:8799, transcript excerpts; --publish serves it to one tailnet login), restarting it when an upgrade changes the plugin code; it never approves shell hooks itself, but on a terminal offers (y/N) to open each profile's Hermes so Hermes asks for hook consent, first revoking approvals whose hook script changed; on native Windows the service and the optional nightly cron are skipped and the dashboard is started by hand, and proofs run in Git for Windows's bash; a Crew tab in the Hermes dashboard and a native Crew page in Hermes Desktop build that board inside the Hermes backend, including its transcript excerpts, each live card's step count and last tool name, and its acknowledge, Unstuck, Retry, Proof and Stop actions, under /api/plugins/crew/ to anyone with dashboard access; a detached coordinator makes read-only model decisions and runs card proof commands unattended with a scrubbed env, flagged or changed proofs only after the owner answers /cr

## 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 crew
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable crew
```

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
