Hermes Council
LLM Council (karpathy/llm-council) as a Hermes plugin. Four fixed advisor seats (First-Principles Analyst, Skeptic, Pragmatist, Researcher) answer in parallel, anonymously review and rank each other, and a Chairman model synthesizes the final answer. Members borrow your existing provider credentials - no API keys. Registers a Council group in every model menu, a council_deliberate tool, /council, hermes council CLI, and a desktop panel.
Good to know before installing
Council_deliberate and the Council model fan each prompt (as a session model, the whole conversation) out to every seat, judge and chairman model you assign, up to 2N+1 billed calls per turn on your existing provider credentials; it also adds a non-secret "council" marker row to auth.json and keeps run history in $HERMES_HOME/council/runs/.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-council - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-council - 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).
