You should know
A side agent rereads the conversation while Hermes works on longer turns and surfaces the one thing you might have missed — a silent tradeoff, an unverified result, an irreversible action — as a dismissible note above the prompt.
Good to know before installing
On tool-using turns in Desktop, CLI and TUI (configurable via `platforms`), sends up to 12,000 characters of the recent conversation, including clipped tool calls and results, to Hermes's configured auxiliary model up to five extra times per turn (45 s cooldown), which adds model cost; notes are stored in the plugin's own data folder.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install you-should-know - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable you-should-know - 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).
