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

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