Nerve

Nerve is a supervisory nervous system for Hermes Agent with provider-neutral Jev, Laya, and OpenJev Reflex backends, evidence-backed Kanban supervision, context governance, token-budget trajectory control, and durable SSH workers.

Good to know before installing

The default Reflex backend is hosted Jev; with the default settings (enabled / admission_enabled on) each turn's user prompt (up to 12k characters) and redacted tool/result previews are sent to the configured Jev provider (OpenRouter Decisions / TypeSafe Jev) using your OPENROUTER_API_KEY or TYPESAFE_API_KEY, spending your credits on every turn. Laya and OpenJev can be configured as local/self-hosted backends. The operator-only nerve setup CLI can copy a local HermesContextBus checkout into HERMES_HOME/plugins/hermes-context-bus and runs hermes plugins enable/disable for that plugin when a profile is saved; the model cannot trigger this.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

How to install

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