Remote Telegram lifecycle notifications for the main Hermes agent: turn start, completion with a bounded final answer, interruption/failure, and user-facing approval requests. Suppresses subagent, Telegram-origin lifecycle, and automatic/smart-approval noise. Outbound-only, no input channel.

## Good to know before installing

Enabled by default once installed and reuses the core Telegram gateway's TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL when present, so each main-agent turn's final answer (up to 3,200 chars) and approval-request command text (up to 700 chars) from CLI, Desktop and eligible gateway platforms are sent to api.telegram.org for delivery to that one chat; Telegram-origin lifecycle and approval-prompt copies (and, when notify_on_approval_response is enabled, Telegram-origin approval-response copies) are suppressed because the core Telegram gateway already delivers them in that chat; token and state are stored 0600 under HERMES_HOME/telegram-notify.

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 telegram-notify
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable telegram-notify
```

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
