Local pixel-art town where every Hermes session is a resident and every tool call walks to a building. Passive lifecycle bridge to a loopback-only server; prompts, arguments, and output never leave the process.

## Good to know before installing

Version 0.3.0 bundles the Town Node server and a prebuilt browser app inside the plugin directory and adds a hermes town setup/start/status/stop/open command tree. Nothing is downloaded and no npm install runs at any point; node (^20.19 or >=22.12) must already be installed and is launched only by the explicit hermes town start command, bound to 127.0.0.1 only. Runtime state, a 0600 bridge token, a bounded event journal and rotated server logs are written under HERMES_HOME/hermes-town/runtime/. On start the server also reads HERMES_HOME/cron/jobs.json (job id and enabled flag only) to place one resident per enabled scheduled job.

## 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-town
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable hermes-town
```

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
