Reasoning Switch

Rotate the focused session reasoning effort from the status bar. A dialog sets the levels, colors, and per-level prompt limits.

Good to know before installing

Changes the focused session's reasoning effort through the gateway config.set API (core may fall back to writing the global config.yaml when the session id is stale) and auto-demotes the level after the configured number of prompts.

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 reasoning-switch
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable reasoning-switch
  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).
