Twelve Norse gods carved in runestone and wood: Odin, Thor, Freyja, Loki, Frigg, Baldur, Tyr, Heimdall, Hel, Skadi, Freyr and Bragi, as Hermes Desktop themes. Install once, then switch with /skin <name>. Matching terminal skins ship in cli/skins.

## Good to know before installing

Theme-only desktop plugin: it registers twelve themes through the plugin SDK, and their stylesheets restyle parts of Desktop's own UI (sidebar art, tabs, composer, wordmark) only while one of its themes is active. It also watches Desktop's active theme: when a terminal skin named asgard-<god> is active, it switches Desktop to that god's theme through the SDK's requestTheme. The terminal skins are plain YAML files the user copies into the Hermes skins folder by hand; the plugin does not install them or write any files. Fonts and art are bundled; no network requests, no agent tools or hooks.

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 hermes-asgard
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-asgard
```

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
