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.

Status-bar chip showing the provider balance and runway tracked by the MIT burnclock CLI, read from its local badge cache. Requires the CLI (pip install burnclock); the plugin makes no network calls and reads no credentials.
Good to know before installing
Runs a read-only shell command (cat of burnclock's local cache file) in your active local session every 60 seconds; balances come from the separately installed burnclock CLI (PyPI `burnclock`), which you configure with your provider keys and run yourself.

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.

Context-window forensics: per-turn input/output token estimates, the single largest tool output of each turn, oversized tool calls (args over 50 KB), and compaction events, recorded as metadata only (tool name, byte length, ids, timestamps — never args or results) in a local SQLite DB under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/context-audit/.

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/.

Game Editor

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.
Good to know before installing
The pane's API reads the cron jobs file under HERMES_HOME to render schedules and run history; it registers no tools, hooks or middleware, performs no network I/O and holds no credentials.

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.

Algorithmic (no-LLM) context compaction engine: builds summaries by deterministic regex extraction instead of a summarizer-model call — zero-token, byte-reproducible, inside the built-in ContextCompressor; compacted turns stay searchable via session_search.
Good to know before installing
No network calls, no env vars, no secrets, no telemetry; registers no tools/hooks/middleware and reads only the turns the host passes for compaction; debug: true (default false) writes one metadata-only file $HERMES_HOME/vcc-debug.json. Derived from pi-vcc (MIT, sting8k)

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.

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.

Marketplace-aware LLM routing for Surp — live prices for all models, provider TPS and trusted flags, mid-chat seller switching, secret masking, and approval-gated paid chat.
Good to know before installing
The messages passed to surp_chat and SURP_API_KEY go to the surp.ivc.lol gateway, run by the individual developer ivcained (operator page https://surp.ivc.lol/operator, terms https://surp.ivc.lol/terms; not affiliated with Surplus Intelligence), which forwards them to third-party sellers on the Surplus Intelligence marketplace, including sellers not flagged trusted unless trusted_only is set; paid surp_chat calls spend from the user's prepaid Surp balance (USDC on Base, 5 % gateway markup), each behind a per-model Hermes approval prompt (denied in cron and other unattended runs by default) plus a per-request ceiling (max_spend_usd, default $0.05); the price, provider, quote, combo and cache tools call the same gateway without a key; routing preferences are stored under HERMES_HOME/cache/surp-hermes-x402-llm/.

Git workbench for the Hermes Dashboard and Desktop: discovers the git repositories under the folders you watch, and inspects or changes them per file — stage, unstage, diff and discard — plus commit, push, pull, branches, commits and worktrees.
Good to know before installing
Reads the watch paths from its own SQLite table (under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/project-manager) and git metadata (branch, remote, ahead/behind, commit subjects, status and diff text) from the repositories under them, and lists folder names under any path you type when adding a watch folder; file contents are read only as diff text returned to the requesting UI; the five agent tools are read-only. Writes on request only from the Dashboard/Desktop UI: git add, commit, push, stash (including stash -u before a branch switch), fetch, merge --ff-only (also as "pull all" across every watched repository), restore, clean -f, git switch, and git worktree remove (including --force and remove-all). Discard on a tracked file restores it from HEAD and drops the uncommitted edits; on a file in no commit (untracked or staged-new) it leaves the bytes on disk but nothing here can restore a version of it, and both sit behind a confirmation naming which one you are doing. The Desktop Chat button starts a new Hermes session whose working directory is that project's folder, and the project name and branch chip open the repository's remote URL in your system browser.

Give it one feature for the Unity project open in your editor, and it builds the scripts, objects and scene in one plan, stops that plan when the compile reports an error CS line, and plays the scene when the compile is clean.
Good to know before installing
Needs MCP for Unity pinned to v10.3.0, plus git and uv. Hermes starts mcpforunityserver==10.3.0 through uvx with telemetry and the update check off. Disk reads run at once. apply_plan asks once and puts back a file the plan did not name. A plan that deletes, runs editor code, can lose unsaved work or writes outside the project asks again, and that summary is sent only when every line fits the approval card; otherwise nothing is sent and confirm_risky_plan asks. unity_docs sends the query to docs.unity3d.com after Hermes asks. unity_generate can call paid providers you configured in MCP for Unity; that call was not part of the check. Tools are on by default on every surface, including the gateway. Only users the gateway admits can reach the tools, and this plugin keeps no user list of its own. Cron and a session with nobody to answer decline. Logs stay in <HERMES_HOME>/plugin-data/agent-plugin-csharp-game-editor-<hash>/logs.

Route a task to the right (model, reasoning effort) arm before you start. Classifies the task into a lane, prints a provenance-carrying route card, and installs per-model reasoning-effort defaults. Strong rules run locally; weak-signal classification calls the host LLM and consumes tokens. The separate harness and shim can make paid provider calls when explicitly run; no plugin-owned credentials.
Good to know before installing
Weak-signal task classification sends the task text to your active Hermes model via the host LLM facade (token cost). The model-callable tool, /route, /rate and observed /model and /reasoning commands append task text and command args to a local ledger at <HERMES_HOME>/evalroute/labels.jsonl. "hermes evalroute install-routes" rewrites agent.reasoning_overrides in config.yaml when you run it. The bundled harness and Hermes shim are never run by the plugin. When run by hand they make paid provider calls, execute model-generated code on the host via shell checkers, and run hermes -z with approvals bypassed. Disclosure — "hermes evalroute sync" (run by hand) downloads the route table from the Hugging Face dataset keppy/evalroute-flywheel into HERMES_HOME and route cards then show that dataset's text; "hermes evalroute dispatch" (run by hand) spawns a single-query hermes chat on the routed model (Nous provider by default) — or, with --runner claude-code, a `claude -p` (Claude Code) process under the user's own Claude account, whose per-run cost is recorded in the local sidecar — with the brief as its query, inheriting the current environment except HERMES_YOLO_MODE (the worker never inh

Names the one skill from your live roster that fits the turn, before the model call — typed routing via TypeSafe Jev (one choice over the roster plus gate booleans, then a re-read of the shortlist with per-candidate fits), with both thresholds applied in code. Says nothing when nothing fits; opt-in, fail-open, stdlib only, no Node; no redirects, proxy env ignored, payload capped.
Good to know before installing
On eligible turns it sends your message (up to 4,000 chars) plus skill names and short SKILL.md excerpts from your local roster to TypeSafe, OpenRouter, or your configured gateway, using your key. With backend auto an OpenRouter key is used automatically when no TypeSafe key is set, and the OpenRouter route also reads Hermes' OpenRouter credential pool (auth.json) when OPENROUTER_API_KEY is absent, rotating that pool's entries through the core pool API.

Community (non-official) plugin that rewrites Hermes terminal commands through RTK (rtk-ai/rtk, Apache-2.0) before execution, so the model sees compact output instead of raw command spam — cutting tokens on common dev commands. Adds a fail-open pre_tool_call hook (2s timeout, unexpected exits leave the command untouched), an optional desktop pane, and update scripts.
Good to know before installing
Every terminal tool command is passed to the rtk binary found on PATH (rtk-ai/rtk, installed separately) and replaced with rtk's rewrite before approval and execution; fail-open when rtk is missing or errors. Community mirror of upstream's hooks/hermes/rtk-rewrite, not affiliated with rtk-ai. scripts/update.sh downloads the pinned RTK release binary (v0.49.0, checksum-verified).

How to install
Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install rtk-rewrite
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable rtk-rewrite
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).

Hermes Wincred
Community
Resolve Hermes environment variables from the current user's Windows Credential Manager at startup, instead of keeping provider keys in plaintext in .env or auth.json.
Resolve Hermes environment variables from the current user's Windows Credential Manager at startup, instead of keeping provider keys in plaintext in .env or auth.json. Config is secrets.wincred.map, an ENV_VAR -> generic-credential-target mapping (bare names or wincred:// names); each value is read with CredReadW in the current user's vault and handed to the secret-source orchestrator, which applies it with the usual precedence, provenance and conflict rules. Values may be UTF-8 or UTF-16LE (cmdkey and the Credential UI write UTF-16); anything that does not decode to text, or that contains interior NULs, is skipped with a warning instead of being injected as a mangled key.
Good to know before installing
This source reads your Windows Credential Manager: only the generic credentials named in the map, with no enumeration of the vault. Resolved values become environment variables of the Hermes process and its children, exactly like .env entries, so anything that can read that environment can see them. The package is read-only and stdlib-only (ctypes): it never creates, updates or deletes credentials, writes no files, starts no subprocesses, makes no network calls and does not self-update. Windows only. Credential Manager is user-scoped, so this raises the at-rest bar for backups, cloud sync and dotfiles; it is not a boundary against code already running as the same user. Applying fetched values stays the orchestrator's job; the plugin never writes os.environ itself. Disclosure — when enabled, reads only the Windows Credential Manager generic credentials named in secrets.wincred.map (no vault enumeration) and injects them as environment variables of the Hermes process and its children, exactly like .env entries; read-only, stdlib ctypes, no subprocesses, no network, no file writes; user-scoped at-rest protection, not a boundary against code already running as the same user.

Automatically pin every new interactive session (desktop, CLI, TUI) and the branches you fork from them. Cron, one-shot, subagent and messaging sessions are left alone, and unpinning a session sticks.
Good to know before installing
On each new desktop/CLI/TUI session it sets the session's pinned flag in Hermes's session database (state.db) through the shared SessionDB handle, and records each automatic pin in $HERMES_HOME/auto-pin/ledger.txt; no network, no tools.

Lightweight local alternative to directory checkpoints for Git projects. Before a mutating tool call it saves the affected repository's working state to a private local shadow ref (refs/hermes-autosave/<branch>, with reflog) through a private index, or copies the single existing file outside Git; `hermes autosave find` and `restore` recover a pre-edit version.
Good to know before installing
Runs local git subprocesses in repositories the agent touches (hooks, clean filters, fsmonitor and lazy fetch disabled); writes shadow refs/reflogs into those repositories' .git and unencrypted file copies into its plugin-data directory; never changes HEAD, branches, the real index or the working tree and never pushes; skips credential stores (.env, auth.json, .ssh, .aws, .docker, .kube, gh/gcloud/azure configs) and dependency directories; `hermes autosave sweep` reads the session database read-only and is scheduled by the user; no network, no background processes; it observes only and never blocks or approves a tool call.
