Delegate coding tasks to the Devin CLI, on your computer or in Devin Cloud, with live progress cards and change review in Hermes Desktop. Every launch goes through Hermes approval; Cloud runs need a separate Cloud-managed-permissions confirmation.

## Good to know before installing

Spawns the vendor devin CLI from PATH or cli_path (devin acp, devin acp --cloud, devin --print, devin auth status, devin models list); the CLI edits files and runs shell commands in a folder the model picks (any folder unless allowed_roots is set) under the configured permission mode (accept-edits/smart auto-allow edits, dangerous auto-allows everything and needs allow_dangerous: true), and talks to Cognition's servers; Devin Cloud runs use Cognition-managed permissions that Hermes does not gate. Every model-initiated launch goes through Hermes approval; follow-ups typed on a Desktop run card and answers to Devin's prompts on the card start or allow actions on that click without a Hermes prompt (unanswered card prompts are denied after 300 s by default). Uses the existing Devin CLI login and stores no credentials; Hermes provider, bot and tool secrets are stripped from the child environment (extra_env is passed as set). Background runs continue after the turn up to their timeout and post Devin's output back into the conversation as a message when they finish. Run history (prompts, diffs, command output) and model preferences are saved under plugin-data/devin unless persist_runs is

## 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 devin
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable devin
```

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
