Spotify Connect remote for Hermes Desktop — status-bar mini player (now playing, transport, volume, devices, search, playlists, queue) reusing the Hermes Spotify login (Spotify Premium required for playback control). Unified agent+desktop package: Electron status-bar player plus a dashboard-API backend (desktop-focused, no web UI). No agent tools; config via plugins.entries.spotify-desktop.settings (poll intervals).

## 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 spotify-desktop
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable spotify-desktop
```

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
