Unofficial OpenCode Zen free-model transport for Hermes. Discovers live zero-cost tool-capable models by intersecting OpenCode Zen and models.dev over HTTPS, persists only the last successful intersection for restart fallback, and bidirectionally translates compatible OpenCode and Hermes tool schemas, calls, choices, and replayed history while Hermes executes tools locally. No OpenCode CLI, Node.js, npm, or npx dependency.

## Good to know before installing

Prompts, tool schemas, tool results, and other conversation content leave the machine for OpenCode and the selected model provider; model availability, retention, data use, and permission are governed by their current terms.

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.

```bash
hermes plugins install oc-free-provider
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable oc-free-provider
```

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
