Kanban Stream

Live-stream Hermes kanban worker activity to a Telegram ops channel: one edit-in-place message per task with rolling tool-call history, elapsed timer, tokens/sec, thinking indicator, and a pinned final state (done/blocked). Mid-task steering via task comments — /steer from Telegram through the bundled companion daemon, or straight from the board. Ships disabled by default; needs a dedicated ops bot (KANBAN_STREAM_BOT_TOKEN + KANBAN_STREAM_ALLOWED_USERS). Outbound calls go only to api.telegram.org; reads the kanban DB read-only; no telemetry, no self-update.

Good to know before installing

Sends kanban task titles, summaries and tool names with command/path snippets to the Telegram chat you configure via your own bot; the optional steer daemon posts allowlisted Telegram users' /steer text as task comments that reach the running worker.

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs KANBAN_STREAM_BOT_TOKEN, KANBAN_STREAM_ALLOWED_USERS), then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install kanban-stream
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable kanban-stream
  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).
