Plan, launch, watch and compare WOOF weather simulations on your own NVIDIA GPU: size runs with WOOF's own planner, launch them locally or on an ssh/WSL GPU host, get maps in the chat while the forecast runs, compare physics or resolution, run multi-arm research campaigns and score runs against radar and surface observations.

## Good to know before installing

Runs need Linux x86_64 with an NVIDIA GPU (plan-only elsewhere); the user-run hermes woof install pip-installs recast-woof>=1.0.0,<1.1 into ~/woof-env and downloads WOOF tables and optional geography (about 1.6 GB); runs execute the WOOF CLI as detached background jobs writing to ~/woof-runs and fetch public weather data; run events are pushed into the chat as user-role messages; the optional serve/ scripts download llama.cpp and a Qwen GGUF and start an unauthenticated local model server.

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 woof
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable woof
```

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
