Loaded Skills Indicator
Status-bar chip, popover and dockable pane showing which skills are read into the active Hermes Desktop conversation's context: full bodies bold with an accent dot, compression-pruned ones ghosted, never-loaded ones not listed. A second pane view lists the whole skill library grouped by category with descriptions and a loaded marker, and clicking a skill drops /<skill> into the composer for you to send (it never submits). A small local backend reads the profile's state.db read-only to tell a live skill body from a [SKILL_PRUNED] marker, and reads SKILL.md frontmatter for the descriptions. No network calls, no credentials, no telemetry, no writes.
Good to know before installing
The local backend opens state.db read-only for the requested session in this profile, the default root and, as a fallback, every other profile's state.db, and returns only skill names and load state; it reads SKILL.md frontmatter under the Hermes skill directories and makes no network calls or writes.

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