GitHub Mentions
Run approved GitHub mentions as Hermes tasks and reply in the original thread. Polls GitHub's API in a gateway worker and sends signed local webhooks granting terminal, file, web, skills and todo tools. Optional Discord copies and read-only Hermes session progress tracking.
Good to know before installing
Polls the GitHub notifications API every 60 s or more as the bot account, and when a GitHub user on your allowed_authors list @mentions the bot in any repository the bot can see, starts an unattended Hermes agent turn with terminal, file, web, skills and todo tools on this computer through a signed local webhook route; the mention text and the repository content the agent reads are untrusted input, and the agent acts with the bot's classic `repo` token (the same GITHUB_TOKEN Hermes' GitHub tools use). Hermes' unattended approval mode (deny by default) still governs flagged commands. `hermes github-mentions routes --apply` edits this profile's config.yaml (adds webhook routes, enables the webhook platform on 127.0.0.1). Optional progress notices read Hermes' state.db read-only; optional Discord notices post through Hermes' own Discord adapter.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-github-mentions - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-github-mentions - 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).
