Grow a local TamaHermes pet from real Hermes agent activity.

## Good to know before installing

Hooks write a pet ledger and sprite atlas under $HERMES_HOME only; the optional python -m tamahermes CLI additionally reads/writes ~/.codex, ~/.petdex and ~/.evopet, runs an unauthenticated loopback preview server (127.0.0.1:8765) and on macOS compiles a Swift overlay and installs a RunAtLoad+KeepAlive LaunchAgent with no uninstall command. No network egress, no credential reads.

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 tamahermes
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable tamahermes
```

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
