Native Discord Rich Presence (RPC) integration for Hermes Agent — real-time session, model, token, and tool tracking with local-only IPC.

## Good to know before installing

Publishes your most recent session title (or, in full title mode, the workspace folder name), model name and token total to the local Discord client as Rich Presence every 3 s (visible to other Discord users); opt-in settings also publish the git branch and a "View Repository" button with the public github.com/gitlab.com remote URL (credentials, ports and other hosts stripped); reads ~/.hermes/state.db read-only; reads the active workspace's .git/HEAD and .git/config read-only to resolve repository and branch; on Linux may scan running Discord processes' environment via psutil to find XDG_RUNTIME_DIR; writes a small presence-ownership file in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (or the system temp dir) and, under herdr, queries the local HERDR_SOCKET_PATH socket for pane focus.

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-discord-rpc
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-discord-rpc
```

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
