Hermes Teammates
Give your agent a team: named subagents with their own instructions, tools and model, which it assigns work to, checks on and steers mid-task. The operator defines the roster; the agent follows up with a digest of earlier results and can work a Kanban teammates lane with a review handoff. Launches subagents only through the public ctx.subagent_lifecycle API. Stock Hermes; no patched core.
Good to know before installing
Adds six tools (teammates_roster, teammate_assign, teammate_check, teammate_wait, teammate_message, teammate_stop) and a /teammates command; the model picks only a teammate name, and the operator's config decides what it means. Teammates run as in-process Hermes subagents using credentials selected by Hermes from the parent, delegation settings or an operator-configured teammate route where supported. Toolsets narrow the parent's tools at toolset granularity only (the file toolset includes write_file and patch); Hermes can add inherited MCP toolsets back unless delegation.inherit_mcp_toolsets is false. A teammate with invalid settings refuses to launch. A delegated child cannot start teammates. Steering uses the lifecycle steer where Hermes provides it, otherwise delegate_task's steer action with the turn-bound parent. Under plugins.isolation: host every tool except the roster refuses. Optionally the roster is read from an operator-named YAML file (roster_file, relative to the profile home or absolute, so several profiles can share one); the plugin never writes it. It keeps a per-profile SQLite run ledger in its plugin-data folder (goals, statuses, clipped summaries, role hashes an

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