Self-hosted AI investment committee — skills for portfolio review, a decision ledger, and a 4-role LLM committee (macro / quant / risk / CIO) that debates a symbol.

## Good to know before installing

The skills run the openinvest backend from PyPI via uvx (pinned in run.sh) and keep portfolio, ledger, committee records and any keys you add in plaintext under ~/openInvest (or $INVEST_HOME); it fetches public market data and RSS news, and on the Direct path / daily report sends your portfolio and wealth context to the LLM you configure (default api.deepseek.com) and, if installed, to the agy or gemini CLI for a second opinion; news ingestion can trigger extra committee runs (LLM spend). The MCP tools are a server you add to config.yaml yourself (the printed snippet runs the plugin's pinned run.sh with `trust: untrusted`, so Hermes asks before ledger writes); buy/sell/deposit/withdraw only edit the local ledger — it never connects to a broker or places orders.

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 openinvest
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable openinvest
```

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
