Custodian

Autonomous operations monitor for a Hermes install: scans gateway logs, cron jobs, skill journals and agent data directories, classifies findings against a 27-fingerprint registry, auto-repairs Tier 1 problems, escalates the rest, and keeps an append-only issue ledger. Ships /custodian (status, scan, issues, repair, verify, schedule, confidence, init, escalation-runner), four scan/health tools and a grid dashboard.

Good to know before installing

Reads gateway logs, cron job state and per-skill journal files under HERMES_HOME to build its findings, and writes repair actions and an issues ledger back there; it performs no network I/O and holds no credentials. Disclosure — /custodian init registers 3 recurring agent cron jobs (deep scan 4×/day, cron-health 4×/day, escalation runner every 30 min on weekdays).

How to install

Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install custodian
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable custodian
Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
