Durable project ownership and bounded initiative management for Hermes fleets.

## Good to know before installing

A `pre_llm_call` hook adds a project's saved rules, decisions and facts to turns of bots assigned to that project; objective checks run allowlisted local programs only at autonomy level 3+ and GitHub objectives shell out to your own `gh api`; it creates and edits Hermes Kanban tasks through Hermes' internal kanban modules (title/body/tenant written directly to kanban.db), keeps its own SQLite DB under `<Hermes home>/plugin-data/hermes-dockyard/`, and its optional HTTP API (`/stewardship/v1`, 127.0.0.1) stays closed until you set a bearer token.

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-project-stewardship
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-project-stewardship
```

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
