Hermes Pickup

Pick up where you left off: up to 10 cards (5 by default) of unfinished work from your recent Hermes chats, project folders and files, each with where you stopped and a one-click next step. Adapted from Herald OS by Luke (iamlukethedev), MIT.

Good to know before installing

After explicit in-app consent (stored per profile), each Refresh reads recent chats from every profile's session store (read-only; profiles the user skips in Settings are never opened) and sends chat excerpts and metadata, project/file names and paths, git branch/changed-file names and recent commit subjects to the current profile's Hermes LLM route (the auxiliary title-generation model, main provider unless configured); runs read-only git and, on macOS, Spotlight `mdfind`; never reads document contents; writes only $HERMES_HOME/pickup/. The "Next step" button can submit a model-written prompt straight into the card's chat in one click. The optional install.sh, when asked, adds the plugin to every profile's plugins.enabled (undone exactly by uninstall.sh).

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.
    hermes plugins install hermes-pickup
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable hermes-pickup
  3. 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).
