TaskWatch
Background-task watchboard for the Hermes Desktop status bar and a side pane: every process the focused chat dispatched through terminal(background=true) (claude, opencode, codex, a build, anything) with live output tail, runtime, a silence heartbeat, a two-click stop, and OS notifications when a task goes quiet past a configurable threshold or exits (success/failure by exit code). Agent-agnostic by construction — it renders the gateway's own process.list projection for the focused session. Desktop-only (desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface); no agent tools, hooks, middleware, env vars or network. Everything is local.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install taskwatch - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable taskwatch - 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).
