Local ledger of the times Hermes stopped to wait for you (approval prompts, clarify questions, password prompts): /waits shows how many waits there were, how many were answered or left unanswered, and how long Hermes stood still in total, typically and at most, per kind of prompt, per platform or per day, for the last 24 hours, any number of hours or days, the latest session or everything recorded; /waits recent lists the newest waits (ten, or up to 100 with /waits recent 50).

## Good to know before installing

Writes wait metadata (session id, platform, kind of prompt, how it ended, wait time; no prompt text, answer or session key) to plugin-data/wait-ledger/waits.jsonl, trimmed to 5,000 rows past 2 MB; observer only, cannot answer, delay or change a prompt; no network

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 wait-ledger
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable wait-ledger
```

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
