Waypoint

Session status for Hermes Desktop: a thin bar next to every sidebar session with four states — Working (remembers your next step), Waiting on someone (who/what plus a follow-up reminder), Done (outcome plus a fresh-start handoff) and untracked. Suggests 3 next steps per session (instant quick ideas from the chat, opt-in AI ideas from the auxiliary model, priority colours) with one-click Ask, a Power up button that asks a strong model for sharper ideas on demand, and Mark complete to stop suggestions. Adds a Status Board page (columns, follow-ups due, stale sessions, archive all done), triage of untracked sessions, a resume banner above the composer, a status-bar counter, a daily summary, palette commands and English/Arabic (RTL). SDK-only: session-row slots, a route, sidebar nav, status bar, composer banner, palette.

Good to know before installing

No network calls of its own (all model calls go through Hermes llm.oneshot); AI next-step suggestions are OFF by default; when enabled, after new replies (at most every 90 s) the plugin sends the focused session's last ~12 user/assistant messages (≤ ~7,000 chars) plus its title and the user's notes to the auxiliary task title_generation (Hermes default "auto" = your main model); Power up runs only when pressed — also with AI suggestions off — and sends a longer excerpt (last ~20 messages, ≤ ~12,000 chars) to the plugin's own auxiliary tasks waypoint_ideas / waypoint_ideas_2 (registered by __init__.py; unset they resolve to "auto" = your main model) or, for "My chat model", to the open session's model; an optional automatic big idea (off by default) uses the same choice at most every 10 minutes; Power up call log (2.5.0): the Python half also registers two observe-only hooks (pre_auxiliary_call, post_auxiliary_call) that ignore every auxiliary task except waypoint_ideas / waypoint_ideas_2 and, for those, write one line per call to the user's own Hermes log (logs/agent.log) and append a record to <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/waypoint/power-calls.jsonl (rolls over at ~1 MB): model, provi

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install waypoint
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable waypoint
  3. 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).
