Rocket.Chat gateway adapter for Hermes Agent. Connects to a self-hosted Rocket.Chat instance via the REST API v1 for outbound traffic and the Realtime (DDP) WebSocket for inbound messages. Uses aiohttp (already a Hermes dependency) — no extra packages needed.

## How to install

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

```bash
hermes plugins install rocketchat-platform
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable rocketchat-platform
```

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
