B64 Ref

@b64: context references that decode encoded text for the model: @b64:<value> takes base64 (standard or URL-safe, padded or not), hex (0x48656c6c6f, 48:65:6c, \x48\x65), percent-encoding or a data: URI, told apart by…
@b64: context references that decode encoded text for the model: @b64:<value> takes base64 (standard or URL-safe, padded or not), hex (0x48656c6c6f, 48:65:6c, \x48\x65), percent-encoding or a data: URI, told apart by the value's shape or picked with base64:, base64url:, hex: or url:, and attaches what it holds: text as text with control and invisible characters escaped, JSON pretty-printed, gzip and zlib inflated in memory (at most 1 MiB, one layer), and binary named by its format (PNG and GIF with their size, JPEG, PDF, ZIP, ELF, SQLite and more) with a hex dump of its first 128 bytes; notes point out a value that was cut short, padding that is off, a second layer of encoding and a JWT inside; the TUI and Desktop composer preview a value as you type it.
Good to know before installing
Reads only the text of the reference itself, using Python's base64, json, urllib.parse and zlib; nothing decoded is run, opened or saved; no network, no files read or written, no subprocess, no credentials read; the plugin keeps no copy of what it decodes, but the @b64: reference and the decoded contents become part of the message sent to your model provider and saved in the session history, so decode only values you are willing to share with it; register() only adds the @b64: reference provider.

Agent Janitor

Process hygiene for agent machines — finds the background processes your agent left behind (dev servers, tunnels, watchers, nohup jobs) using evidence signals (ppid=1 reparent, port listener via /proc/net/tcp{,6}, dev-server traits, TTL exceeded) and attributes them to the originating tool call via agent-ledger's ledger when present. Dry-run by default: nothing is killed until you write policy_mode=enforce; system daemons and host/VM management agents are exempt by name, a user-editable whitelist covers your real infrastructure, and each kill re-reads the cmdline first (SIGTERM, 2s, SIGKILL with PID-reuse check). stdlib-only, fails open.
Good to know before installing
Inside Hermes it only appends terminal commands that look like they start background work (first 300 characters, which can include inline secrets) to plugin-data/agent-janitor/spawns.jsonl, and reads agent-ledger's ledger.db read-only when present. Killing is a separate CLI you run yourself (janitor_cli.py sweep): after you write "enforce" to plugin-data/agent-janitor/policy_mode it sends SIGTERM then SIGKILL to every process re-parented to PID 1 for over a minute that is not on its built-in exempt list or your whitelist, whoever started it (for example a tmux server or a nohup'd hermes gateway), including other users' processes when run as root. Dry-run first; the dry-run list is the kill list.

Runtime guardrails, behavioral evaluation, and signed fleet admission for Hermes Agent: a versioned capability policy that blocks or requires approval for model tool calls, paired synthetic behavioral evaluation with no real side effects, and a signed local promotion gate that refuses a model whose evidence does not satisfy signed fleet policy. Hooks-only (no agent tools).
Good to know before installing
Adds approval prompts to tool calls by default (balanced mode): every MCP, connector or other-plugin tool, memory and skill writes, file reads outside the working and temp directories, and network-capable terminal/code commands go to Hermes's approval prompt; strict mode blocks them instead, and opt-in enforced fleet mode blocks all tool calls until the served model name matches the admitted one. The user-run `hermes antidote eval run` command sends synthetic prompts (and the API key you name) to the OpenAI-compatible endpoint you pass, as billed model calls (default suite up to ~170 requests); `model inspect hf:` queries huggingface.co; `fleet keygen` writes unencrypted Ed25519 private keys (mode 0600) to paths you choose.

A Hermes Desktop page for running a fleet - topology, model traffic, handoffs, traces, merge requests and conformance checks in one place.
Good to know before installing
Reads hermes-metrics-dash's <hermes root>/metrics/metrics.db, the kanban board, every profile's config.yaml (plugin enable state, rolectl-mcp entries, default model) and plugin-data/gitlab-mr/device-aliases.json, all read-only; calls your GitLab (host and token from the plugin settings or GITLAB_HOST/GITLAB_TOKEN), the local model router (MODEL_ROUTER_URL, default 127.0.0.1:8867) and LM Studio (LMSTUDIO_URL, default 127.0.0.1:1234); runs git status/rev-parse/ls-files in the project folders it checks and shows matching lines (including any keys found) on the page. Page buttons create, assign, schedule, unblock and close kanban cards and start their workers at once, write <hermes root>/conformance/conformance.yaml, and "Propose a rule" pushes a branch and opens a merge request on the standard's GitLab project. A hook on every kanban dispatcher tick starts cards scheduled from the page; with alert_target set it posts new attention items through hermes send; with drift_action: automatic it files and starts a fix card for drift_profile for each drifting host with a verified report (at most daily) carrying the standard's remediate commands.

Unofficial Nord theme for Hermes Desktop with hand-tuned Polar Night (dark) and Snow Storm (light) palettes, Nord terminal colors, Nord code-block syntax colors, and Aurora status colors.
Unofficial Nord theme for Hermes Desktop with hand-tuned Polar Night (dark) and Snow Storm (light) palettes, Nord terminal colors, Nord code-block syntax colors, and Aurora status colors. Scoped to its own theme; other themes are untouched.
Good to know before installing

Back up a Supabase project to your own S3, R2 or B2 bucket with the open-source backupdrill CLI (the Postgres database, plus Storage files once their S3 keys are set), then restore the snapshot into a throwaway Postgres in Docker to check it comes back.
Good to know before installing
A skill only, with no Python, hooks or server: it has the agent run npx -y backupdrill@2.7.1 in shell commands, which npx downloads from npm on first run. The CLI connects to the user's Supabase project and their own bucket, and a drill pulls a postgres image from Docker Hub. The connection string and bucket keys stay in a .env.backupdrill file the user fills in; each command loads it in a subshell and never prints it. Nothing is sent to BackupDrill.

One install: the Desktop model picker and the OR Picker composer provider. Checking a model here is what the composer lists.
Good to know before installing
The optional OpenRouter management key is stored in plaintext in Desktop localStorage; the plugin reads OPENROUTER_API_KEY from your environment, Hermes secret store or HERMES_HOME/.env and sends it only to openrouter.ai (credits, usage, and the Test-model button, which spends credits).

Collapses carriage-return progress bars (tqdm, git clone --progress and similar) in terminal output to the frame a terminal would show, so the model reads one line instead of every redraw: a 300-step tqdm loop goes from 17,396 characters to about 120. Other text written between redraws, CRLF line endings and output without a carriage return are left as they are.

Local System One / Laya Typed Decisions control plane for Hermes Agent. Sends bounded turn data to a configurable sidecar for reversible OFF/Shadow/Canary routing decisions, with explicit Canary acknowledgement and fail-open behavior.
Good to know before installing
Executes nothing and does not start the sidecar. In Shadow/Canary mode, Search and Model Tier may POST the current task plus bounded recent conversation context; Notification Shadow may POST the completed turn's final assistant response (up to 6000 chars) plus lifecycle metadata. The default sidecar URL is loopback 127.0.0.1:8787 but is user-configurable to any host and no auth header is added. Notification is observation-only: the plugin never sends a push/message/webhook and persists decision metadata, not raw response text. Its only request mutations, in acknowledged Canary mode on the first provider call of a turn, are removing web_search/web_extract tools for audited deterministic no-Web rules and (off by default) lowering reasoning_effort for gemini-3.8-flash-tiered on audited hard-fast rules. The sidecar (same repo, separate pip install, Apple-Silicon MLX/CoreML) is a text classifier that downloads a pinned Hugging Face model.

Full-power sidebar navigator & uncapped project/session explorer for Hermes Desktop. Bypasses the 3-session overview cap with searchable, scrollable project trees and timeline view.
Good to know before installing
Browses and acts on sessions of every Hermes profile and connection you pick (rename, archive, delete with confirmation, branch, move to a project, create, including bulk archive/delete/move of selected sessions; renaming or exporting a session that is not open briefly resumes it on that backend and closes it again), exports a session's full transcript as a downloaded JSON file on request, and keeps its own pins, colours, unread marks, tags and saved views in its plugin storage, mirroring pin and colour changes to the Desktop sidebar for the profile the window is showing.

Good to know before installing
Sends redacted approval prompts, MCP tool names and compression transcript blocks to openrouter.ai using your OpenRouter key (read-only); on any error approvals escalate to you, never auto-approve; the default decision_model is a moving alias, pin it.

Live, read-only dependency graph of the Hermes kanban boards in Hermes Desktop: every board as a band, tasks as cards, dependencies as arrows with implied ones folded away.
Live, read-only dependency graph of the Hermes kanban boards in Hermes Desktop: every board as a band, tasks as cards, dependencies as arrows with implied ones folded away. Click a task to light up its whole lineage with runs, last failure and the running worker's latest tool calls; deep links open a task directly, and a stdlib CLI renders the same graph as a standalone HTML file. Zero API keys, zero model tokens.
Good to know before installing
Reads every kanban board database and, for running tasks, the assignee profile's state.db (the kanban worker session's latest assistant messages and tool-call arguments), read-only, and shows them in Desktop through its own local dashboard routes.

Security guardrails for Hermes tool calls: per-call authorization, so a prompt injection cannot make the agent do more than you allowed. Each call is checked against a signed, expiring permission slip (a warrant) before the handler runs, down to the arguments (file paths, search queries, spending limits), and every decision lands in a local audit log. Give cron jobs, delegate_task subagents and gateway users their own policy.
Good to know before installing
Hermes-tenuo is a no-op until a warrant is configured and blocks every tool call in a kanban worker that has no per-task warrant; it appends every tool call's name and full arguments to $HERMES_HOME/tenuo/audit.jsonl (disable with audit_log: false); when TENUO_CONNECT_TOKEN or TENUO_CONTROL_PLANE_URL are set, the bundled tenuo SDK (compiled Rust core) streams those decisions, including arguments, to that control plane.

Durable project ownership and bounded initiative management for Hermes fleets.
Good to know before installing
A `pre_llm_call` hook adds a project's saved rules, decisions and facts to turns of bots assigned to that project; objective checks run allowlisted local programs only at autonomy level 3+ and GitHub objectives shell out to your own `gh api`; it creates and edits Hermes Kanban tasks through Hermes' internal kanban modules (title/body/tenant written directly to kanban.db), keeps its own SQLite DB under `<Hermes home>/plugin-data/hermes-dockyard/`, and its optional HTTP API (`/stewardship/v1`, 127.0.0.1) stays closed until you set a bearer token.

Feishu / Lark OAuth sign-in for the web dashboard, admitted by tenant + open_id allow-list. Registers the `feishu` dashboard auth provider once plugins.entries.dashboard-auth-feishu.settings (app_id, tenant_key, owner_open_ids) and an app secret are configured.
Good to know before installing
Calls only the fixed Feishu or Lark authorize, token and user_info endpoints; reads HERMES_DASHBOARD_FEISHU_APP_SECRET or, as a fallback, the Feishu gateway's FEISHU_APP_SECRET, plus HERMES_DASHBOARD_FEISHU_SESSION_KEY; stores tenant, open_id and display name per sign-in in a 0600 SQLite file under plugin-data (no upstream tokens); a refused sign-in logs the tenant_key and open_id Feishu returned (identifiers only, for first-time setup); every admitted identity gets full dashboard access; upstream PKCE is not used (confidential client with single-use cookie-bound state); pending logins are in memory, so one dashboard worker only; WebSockets opened before logout may stay open until the session key is rotated and the dashboard restarted.

Desktop fleet page plus a per-bot Home (status, metrics, alerts, tasks, routines, buttons) published by the bot as JSON.
Good to know before installing
Reads each local profile's home files, can run a declared cron routine from the UI on that bot's profile and credentials, and opens chat, a path, or a URL the bot declared; send_prompt buttons send the shown prompt into the bot's Bot Chat. Bot-declared run_action buttons run a script from the bot's home/actions/ folder: a script runs only after the user approves that exact file (SHA-256), is re-approved if it changes, and is limited to 30s and to that folder, but it runs as your user with the Hermes backend's full environment, including provider keys loaded for the profile Hermes was launched with. Approvals are kept under the Hermes root in bot-hq/approvals/. The `hermes hermes-bot-hq setup` command (asks first unless --yes) links the plugin into every profile's plugins folder and enables it there. No database, signup, or telemetry.

Dataset import, adaptation, augmentation, translation, synthetic generation, and AutoScientist fine-tuning through the hosted Adaption MCP. Portable Agent Plugins v1 package with three workflow skills; the MCP server is added separately with OAuth (or an API key for headless use).
Good to know before installing
Skill-only, no code; the MCP tools call api.prod.adaptionlabs.ai, and launches spend Adaption credits (the skills request a cost estimate first, Hermes does not enforce it). Hermes does not prompt before those tools unless the server is configured with trust: untrusted.

BM25-based skill retrieval for large skill libraries. An llm_request middleware rewrites the outgoing request's <available_skills> block to names only (the same bytes every turn, so prompt caching is unaffected), and a pre_llm_call hook appends the top-K matching skill descriptions to the current user message. Uses public plugin surfaces only (register_middleware, register_hook); reads SKILL.md frontmatter from the profile's skill roots and imports a few agent.prompt_builder / agent.skill_utils helpers read-only. pyyaml is the only dependency.
Good to know before installing
Optional Jev rerank, off by default: with SKILL_RETRIEVAL_RERANK=jev and TYPESAFE_API_KEY set (read from the environment only), each turn POSTs the user message (injection patterns stripped, capped at 2000 chars) and up to 12 shortlisted skill descriptions (400 chars each) to api.typesafe.ai (3 s timeout, no retries, BM25 order kept on error), and appends a local JSONL log (timestamp, session id, 200-char query excerpt, both orders) under $HERMES_HOME/data/jev-trial/, rotated past 5 MB. With the rerank off it makes no network calls and writes no files.

Live per-Bot activity timeline for Hermes Desktop: turns, tool calls (arguments, result, duration), approvals and Group Chat streams, grouped by Bot or by Group Chat, with one-click tracking for new Bots.
Good to know before installing
Local only, no network or telemetry; records every Bot profile's turns, assistant replies, tool arguments and results, approval commands and Group Chat streams (redacted with agent.redact, capped per field, 3-day / 20k-row retention) into one SQLite file shared by all profiles under plugin-data/bot-activity; reads each Bot profile's state.db, profile.yaml and config.yaml read-only; Track now / Update runs `hermes -p <bot> plugins install <same source> --ref <same sha> --enable --yes-deps` (or copies the plugin and runs `plugins enable`) in the Bot profiles you track, never re-enabling one you disabled.

Chat Length
Community
Tells the user when a chat is getting too long and hands them a short opener for a fresh chat; the new chat pulls the earlier context itself via session_search, no handover document.
Tells the user when a chat is getting too long and hands them a short opener for a fresh chat; the new chat pulls the earlier context itself via session_search, no handover document. Fill level from real provider token counts, measured against Hermes' compaction point by default; notices at 70 % and 90 % (configurable), once each per chat, re-armed after compaction, never in cron, subagent, kanban, batch or webhook runs. Notice in the conversation language, English or German.
Good to know before installing
On the turn that crosses a threshold, pre_llm_call adds a one-turn instruction to that turn's user message (never the system prompt; replayed byte-identical, so prompt caching stays intact); post_api_request stores per-session token counts, model and provider name and which notice fired (no message content) under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/chat-length/, pruned after 30 days; reads the session title read-only from state.db and the compression settings read-only from config.yaml; no network calls, no tools, no dependencies.

Parallel AI task orchestrator. Paste a task list into the desktop panel; Hermes phases it into dependency-ordered groups through the agent_batch_plan / agent_batch_phase tools (or you group it yourself in one click), then each phase dispatches one independent coding agent per task to a GitHub Actions workflow in a repo you name — own branch, own PR — and the panel tracks the runs and the PRs. GITHUB_TOKEN is the only required credential; AGENT_BATCH_REPO, AGENT_BATCH_WORKFLOW, AGENT_BATCH_MODEL and AGENT_BATCH_STATE are optional (the last is a directory override for the plan file, not a secret) and each can be set per plan in the panel instead.
Good to know before installing
Hermes can read and rewrite the stored phase plan through the agent_batch_plan / agent_batch_phase tools, but dispatch is always a confirmed click in the panel. Each dispatch fires a GitHub workflow_dispatch with your GITHUB_TOKEN (Actions + pull-requests write) on the repo you name. The workflow you copy into that repo installs third-party coding-agent CLIs (cline by default; the others are unpinned npm packages) and runs them unattended, with auto-approve / skip-permissions, repo write access and your provider secrets. They push real branches and open real PRs, and your task text and repository code go to that runner's model vendor. LLM cost belongs to the runner: cline spends Cline Credits or a BYOK key, opencode free models need its zen relay, kilo needs an active Kilo Go subscription (keyless CI runs fail), and claude-code / codex / dsh need their own keys.

Write-ahead ledger for agent side effects, with an OWASP Agentic Top 10 posture scorer.
Good to know before installing
Records the arguments (up to 4000 chars: terminal commands, file contents, MCP args) and a 300-char result digest of every state-changing tool call in a local plaintext SQLite ledger under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/agent-ledger/ that is never pruned; injects a warning listing this session's unconfirmed calls into the next turn's context; an optional policy engine (off by default; you add policy.json and set policy_mode) can refuse matching tool calls before they run; the optional posture_daily.py script, run from your own cron, sends a score summary to Telegram with the bot token you give it.

Durable non-blocking questions with exact answer binding and gateway continuation.
Good to know before installing
Its pre_gateway_dispatch hook sees every gateway message and consumes only `dq <id> …` answers from the stored recipient; with `enable_tool` on, the model can send questions to any chat the gateway already authorizes, and a question marked continue_agent resumes that chat's agent with the user's answer; questions and answers are stored unencrypted in $HERMES_HOME/deferred-questions/questions.sqlite3; it calls private gateway and adapter methods, so a Hermes update can break delivery until it is re-pinned.

LDAP / Active Directory password login for the web dashboard. Verifies credentials with an LDAP bind (direct or search-then-bind), never stores passwords, requires ldaps:// or StartTLS, and supports group restriction. Registers the `ldap` dashboard auth provider once dashboard.ldap_auth is configured.
Good to know before installing
Dashboard logins are verified by binding to your configured LDAP/AD server with the user's password (TLS with certificate validation required unless allow_insecure is set); sessions are stateless HMAC tokens (12h access / 30d refresh by default) signed with HERMES_DASHBOARD_LDAP_SECRET or a random per-process key, and logout cannot revoke them; group removal and disabled accounts are not re-checked until the refresh token expires; failed logins count toward the directory's account-lockout policy.

LLM Council (karpathy/llm-council) as a Hermes plugin. Four fixed advisor seats (First-Principles Analyst, Skeptic, Pragmatist, Researcher) answer in parallel, anonymously review and rank each other, and a Chairman model synthesizes the final answer. Members borrow your existing provider credentials - no API keys. Registers a Council group in every model menu, a council_deliberate tool, /council, hermes council CLI, and a desktop panel.
Good to know before installing
Council_deliberate and the Council model fan each prompt (as a session model, the whole conversation) out to every seat, judge and chairman model you assign, up to 2N+1 billed calls per turn on your existing provider credentials; it also adds a non-secret "council" marker row to auth.json and keeps run history in $HERMES_HOME/council/runs/.

In the Godot 4 project open in your editor, it places assets into the scene, plays the game, and the next plan fixes each error from its file and line.
Good to know before installing
Needs Godot 4.7 or later, the Godot AI 4.x add-on, and uv. The first start downloads godot-ai==4.3.0 from pypi.org and files.pythonhosted.org. There is no API key. The editor is reached only on 127.0.0.1. A server this plugin starts sends no telemetry. The add-on follows godot_ai/telemetry_enabled (on by default) and can send usage to godot-ai-telemetry-v2-pudmurzsnq-uw.a.run.app. plan_change sends only the session list. apply_plan asks once. A plan that deletes, overwrites, drops unsaved work, writes outside the project or runs code it wrote is not made when what is lost exceeds 1,700 characters, and otherwise runs only after confirm_risky_plan. Play and tests ask once and run the project's code. Tools are on by default on every surface, including the gateway, so anyone who can message Hermes there can ask and approve. This plugin keeps no user list of its own. Cron, hermes chat -q and unattended runs decline. Data stays in <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/agent-plugin-game-editor-<id> after removal. Stop with hermes plugins disable game-editor, or hermes tools for one surface. macOS only.

Greyridge Token Safety

Skill that runs a pre-trade safety check on Base ERC-20 tokens (honeypot/sellability, measured transfer tax, owner/mint/pause flags, liquidity, SAFE/CAUTION/AVOID verdict) by curling the Grey Ridge x402 API's free preview endpoint. Skill-only: no tools, hooks or env vars.
Good to know before installing
The skill has the agent run `curl` against Grey Ridge Signals Group LLC's API (x402-data-api.sigrunner.workers.dev, the same service as api.greyridgesignals.ai) with the token address and, for the swap gate, trade side and USD size; each response carries a paid URL that the skill tells the agent it can call with an x402 client (suggesting `npm i x402-fetch viem`), paying $0.01 USDC per call on Base from whatever wallet that client is given, and it mentions an unpinned `pip install git+https://github.com/rezearcher/greyridge-x402-tools` helper that the user installs themselves. Its verdict is a heuristic, not financial advice.

Dashboard-only cron companion: a Pocket Watch pane showing cron jobs by schedule (daily/weekly/monthly), a health view of run outcomes and consecutive failures, a timeline, and maintenance actions — a read-oriented window onto the scheduler rather than another agent-facing toolset.

A Hermes Desktop theme that follows your wallpaper. Reads Pywal's ~/.cache/wal/colors.json by default, or any palette JSON you point it at (settings page or ~/.config/hermes-wallpaper-theme/config.json), derives a palette with checked contrast floors and repaints live when the file changes. Optional glass mode paints a translucent background for native window materials or compositor blur.
Good to know before installing
The desktop half uses only @hermes/plugin-sdk; the palette file is read by the package's own backend route (dashboard/plugin_api.py, GET /api/plugins/wallpaper-theme/palette, mounted once the plugin is in plugins.enabled), polled every 3 seconds with a change stamp. That route reads only JSON files inside the user's home directory (or XDG_*_HOME) under 256 KiB and returns colour fields only, never raw file text. No network calls, no shell commands, no credentials, no telemetry.

Microsoft-Decision-1 (Azure AI Foundry System One) decision provider for bounded agent decisions. Registers typed-decision tools (decision_noul, decision_choice, decision_score, decide) that preserve full probability distributions, plus an opt-in pre_tool_call hook that requests human approval for known-risk calls without sending their arguments to Azure. Reference implementation of the typed decision-provider runtime in #113008.
Good to know before installing
The four decision tools send the caller-supplied state/questions text to the Azure Foundry endpoint you set in AZURE_FOUNDRY_BASE_URL (nothing is sent while it is unset); with MS_DECISION_GATE=1 the pre_tool_call gate sends only a coarse operation label for known-risk tool calls to that endpoint and routes them to Hermes's human approval prompt (MS_DECISION_GATE_MODE=block hard-denies instead); the labelled eval corpus under tests/ contains literal destructive commands as should-refuse examples.

Unitares
Community
Records each Hermes session on a UNITARES server you run: one identity per session and one check-in per completed turn, so the agent's working record carries across sessions.
Records each Hermes session on a UNITARES server you run: one identity per session and one check-in per completed turn, so the agent's working record carries across sessions. Fail-open; never blocks the agent.
Good to know before installing
Sends only to the server named in UNITARES_MCP_URL, which you host; there is no default server. Per session it sends your model name and platform; per completed turn a fixed check-in marker (never user, assistant or tool text). Hooks run synchronously, so an unresponsive server can delay a call by roughly 40 seconds (connection plus call timeout). After 3 consecutive failures the plugin stops reporting for that session only, until the session is finalized or reset; it stays fail-open and never blocks the agent. If UNITARES_BEARER is set, it is sent as a request header to that same server only.

Hermes Desktop session analytics and provider-reported usage: annual heatmaps, token mix, model breakdowns and source-period summaries.
Good to know before installing
Reads the selected profile's state.db read-only and, for the Providers tab, an Activity cache under plugin-data/hermes-activity plus the optional Quota quota_cache.json. Fetch provider data runs a local Node.js (22.18+) collector and, only on that explicit click, calls chatgpt.com through Hermes's signed-in Codex request route (requires_auth: openai-codex) and api.commandcode.ai, opencode.ai and ollama.com with the optional API keys you configure as plugin secrets; it stores usage aggregates and hashed key identifiers locally. No other credential reads, telemetry or sign-in flow; remote profiles go through the configured gateway.

How to install
Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-activity
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-activity
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).
Full setup steps, settings and screenshots are on the plugin's official catalog page from Nous Research.

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

Persistent long-term conversations across session boundaries via structured handoff briefs and token monitoring.
Good to know before installing
Stores handoff briefs (topic, work in progress, decisions, open questions, next step; in aggressive mode auto-built from the first 200 characters of recent user messages) as plain JSON under HERMES_HOME/long-conversations/ and injects the pending brief into the first turn of the next session for the same chat or user (CLI briefs stay in one local scope and are not shown to messaging users); the model can change the plugin's settings with long_conv_config_set; an opt-in HERMES_LONG_CONV_BETA_LOG writes a local event log; no network calls.

Read-only Desktop model map for main, auxiliary, sub-agent and MoA routes.
Good to know before installing
Reads the selected profile's full config.yaml through the host's `config.get` (the response includes any credential fields it holds); only model-routing fields are kept and nothing is stored or sent off the machine.
