Reka as a Hermes model provider: Reka's agent-capable models on Reka's OpenAI-compatible API, each with its context window, tool support and image input declared, and reasoning effort sent as Reka's top-level reasoning_effort. Pick Reka in `hermes model` or use `--provider reka`.

## Good to know before installing

Registers one model provider at import and nothing else (no tools, hooks, middleware, commands, background work or file access); chat requests (prompts, tool schemas and results, supported user images) and the model list go to https://api.reka.ai/v1 (or REKA_BASE_URL) through Hermes's own client with REKA_API_KEY, which Hermes reads; usage is billed to your Reka account; the plugin itself opens no connections.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

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

```bash
hermes plugins install reka-provider
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable reka-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
