Inspect, resize, crop, rotate, convert and re-encode image files in-process with Pillow - no shell, no ImageMagick, no network.

## 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 image-utils
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable image-utils
```

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
