Read RSS and Atom feeds and discuss articles in Hermes Desktop.

## Good to know before installing

Feeds and full articles are fetched with curl through the gateway's shell.exec on the connected Hermes host (public-IPv4 SSRF guard); opt-in AI grading sends article excerpts to your configured model and creates HERMES_HOME/skills/rss-importance-grading/SKILL.md if missing; opt-in image loading fetches publisher images directly from Desktop.

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-rss
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-rss
```

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
