Signed Nextcloud Talk bot webhooks and text replies for Hermes, with JSON/XML OCS support.

## Good to know before installing

Runs an HTTP webhook listener (default 0.0.0.0:8788, HMAC-verified with the bot secret) and sends messages and optional Basic-auth room lookups to your Nextcloud server; registers the `nextcloud_talk` gateway platform.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `NC_TALK_BASE_URL`, `NC_TALK_BOT_SECRET`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install nextcloud-talk
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable nextcloud-talk
```

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
