Eighteen Hermes Desktop themes in dithered classical marble, one god each: all twelve Olympians plus Hades, Nyx, Helios, Selene and Medusa. Install once, then switch with /skin <name>. Matching terminal skins ship in cli/skins.
Good to know before installing
Theme-only desktop plugin: it registers eighteen themes through the plugin SDK, and their stylesheets restyle parts of Desktop's own UI (sidebar art, tabs, composer, wordmark) only while a Pantheon theme is active. It also watches Desktop's active theme: when a terminal skin named pantheon-<god> is active, it switches Desktop to that god's theme through the SDK's requestTheme. The terminal skins are plain YAML files the user copies into the Hermes skins folder by hand; the plugin does not install them or write any files. Fonts and art are bundled; no network requests, no agent tools or hooks.

Render a chart inline in the Hermes Desktop transcript: the model emits ::echarts{labels=... values=...} and the plugin mounts an interactive SVG chart (dataZoom slider, click-to-filter legend, resize-aware, 280-560px height clamp) in the plugin SDK's transcript-directive slot.
Good to know before installing
No network calls, no shell commands, no stored credentials, no environment variables, no background processes, and nothing read or written outside the message it renders; the chart is drawn locally as inline SVG with no third-party libraries.

Status-bar quota tracking for 17 providers: Tavily, OpenCode Go, DeepSeek, GLM (z.ai), OpenRouter, Grok (xAI), Codex (OpenAI), OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Cerebras, Moonshot Kimi, MiniMax, Google Gemini, Hugging Face, Mistral, and Qwen. DeepSeek and GLM show peak/off-peak gauges and countdowns. Includes OAuth and multi-key pools. This edition does not rotate Hermes environment keys on exhaust, and an expired OAuth token asks for a new login. Codex and Grok checks use their CLI client identity and user-agent.
Good to know before installing
Reads provider API keys from the Hermes .env and its own config.json and calls each enabled provider's own usage or billing endpoint; Codex and Grok sign-ins use those CLIs' OAuth client identity and user-agent, keep the plugin's tokens in its install folder, and ask for a new login on expiry. When the Discord gateway runs, the bot's Discord presence (visible to everyone in servers the bot shares) is updated every 20 seconds by default with tokens/sec, context-window use and the active provider's name with its remaining quota or dollar credit balance (model and running tool are opt-in); turn it off with plugins.entries.provider-status.settings.discord_presence_enabled: false. /pulse and the agent_pulse tool report process-wide telemetry (model, provider, current tool, quota) to anyone allowed to call them on a gateway. Writes a secret-free quota-cache.json into its install folder and reads Hermes config.yaml for the active model.

Guided Desktop workspace in BOTS: tailored questions, reference files, editable instructions and capabilities, version comparisons, model-only trials, and native Bot Chat handoff. Saves specialists as separate Hermes profiles and installs the Builder companion plugin into its own bot profile.
Good to know before installing
"Talk to Builder" auto-creates a hermes-builder profile cloned from the active profile with copied .env/auth.json and copies+enables this plugin there outside the catalog installer (uninstall does not remove that copy); "Save agent" creates new profiles the same way and rewrites their tool/skill selection.

Prompt Snippets

Prompt snippet library for the Hermes Desktop composer: a quick-pick overlay styled after the app's own slash menu (own shortcut), plus a management view with drag reordering, group tags and import/export. Inserts into the focused session, not the active one. UI in EN / 简中 / 繁體. v1.8.0 is fully SDK-only: the quick-pick overlay renders as an official Popover anchored to the plugin's own contributed node and all draft writes go through the host composer draft API. No local network; v1.6.0+ adds local JSON import/export via the system clipboard.

Git review pane for Hermes Desktop: every changed file of the agent's last turn, uncommitted, staged or unstaged work, the branch since it left the default branch, or any selection of commits, in one scroll, unified or split, with syntax colours; cites changed lines into the composer as @line: references; and stages, unstages, discards, commits, pushes and opens pull requests from the pane.
Good to know before installing
Reads run git subprocesses (rev-parse, status, diff, log, show, cat-file, ls-files, for-each-ref, branch, remote, rev-list, merge-base, symbolic-ref, hash-object) with timeouts and output caps, external diff and textconv drivers disabled. Writes run only when the user clicks: git add, restore, reset, rm, commit and push, on paths validated inside the repository; discard asks first in Desktop's confirmation dialog and deletes only the untracked files it names. By default hooks are skipped and any write that would run a program named by the repository's own config (filter drivers, signing, SSH or credential commands) is refused; the run_repo_programs setting allows them, and the read_only setting hides and refuses every write. Network use: push to the branch's own name on its remote, and the user's own gh or glab CLI for the PR/MR badge and for Create pull request; the plugin itself makes no network requests. Generate commit message sends what the commit will contain and recent commit subjects to the focused chat's model through Hermes's commit_message one-shot template, only when clicked.

Profile Switcher
Community
The Alt+Tab gesture for Hermes profiles. Hold Ctrl+Alt and tap Tab to cycle through your profiles, release to land on the highlighted one — the same hold-tap-release rhythm as the OS app switcher.
The Alt+Tab gesture for Hermes profiles. Hold Ctrl+Alt and tap Tab to cycle through your profiles, release to land on the highlighted one — the same hold-tap-release rhythm as the OS app switcher. (Alt+Tab, Win+Tab and Cmd+Tab are owned by the window manager and cannot be bound by any application, so the gesture lives on ctrl+alt+tab, unclaimed by the OS and by Hermes core.) Each row shows the profile's model and most recent conversation; a working profile shows a spinner. Also opens with a single contributed keybind (Cmd+Alt+P / Ctrl+Alt+P, rebindable in the app's own keybind panel), a status-bar chip, and a palette command. The switch goes through the Desktop's own profile path, so the target profile's backend is activated and its chrome is scoped onto it. Desktop-only (desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface); no agent tools, hooks, middleware, env vars, network calls, or stored credentials.

Status-bar chip, popover and dockable pane showing which skills are read into the active Hermes Desktop conversation's context: full bodies bold with an accent dot, compression-pruned ones ghosted, never-loaded ones not listed. A second pane view lists the whole skill library grouped by category with descriptions and a loaded marker, and clicking a skill drops /<skill> into the composer for you to send (it never submits). A small local backend reads the profile's state.db read-only to tell a live skill body from a [SKILL_PRUNED] marker, and reads SKILL.md frontmatter for the descriptions. No network calls, no credentials, no telemetry, no writes.
Good to know before installing
The local backend opens state.db read-only for the requested session in this profile, the default root and, as a fallback, every other profile's state.db, and returns only skill names and load state; it reads SKILL.md frontmatter under the Hermes skill directories and makes no network calls or writes.

Read-only observability for Hermes Desktop: what each session cost and why, its full trace, recurring tool failures, every profile at a glance, provider quotas and service balances, model comparison with cheaper-route evidence, and instruction-rule grading.
Good to know before installing
Reads every profile's state.db read-only plus agent logs, cron/gateway state, config.yaml and .env (key names, and the values of keys an adapter uses); with the credentials Hermes' own resolvers return, calls only each configured vendor's usage or balance endpoint (hosts listed in the README), sending Grok CLI client headers to cli-chat-proxy.grok.com and a Claude Code user-agent to api.anthropic.com; Hermes' resolvers may renew Hermes' Codex, Nous and xAI logins and, when Hermes holds no other Anthropic credential, Claude Code's login; runs the local monid CLI when installed; an Anthropic one-token Claude Haiku probe is off by default; writes no Hermes state itself and sends no session content anywhere.

Kanban Gantt
Community
One board, three views, and each answers a different question: List says what the work is, Timeline says when it happened, Graph says what hangs off what.
One board, three views, and each answers a different question: List says what the work is, Timeline says when it happened, Graph says what hangs off what. The Graph view draws a card per task and an arrow per dependency, laid out top-down by longest path (or left to right, by status, or as a compact grid), with a transitive reduction that counts the arrows it implies instead of hiding them, links you draw, move and delete where they are drawn, and a click that lights the whole upstream and downstream lineage of a task. The Timeline renders any board as real work timestamps (created/started/review/done), with a collapsible tree column (boxed fold controls, tree connectors, per-board fold state, multi-parent links kept visible), live-activity arcs, filters, bulk actions, and a period selector from 6 hours to 7 days. The List view trades the bars for a dense table — task, assignee, status, last activity. Quick scopes (Running, Blocked, Open, All) narrow the board in all three views alike, and a lineage switch widens any of them to what leads to the selection and what follows it. Tasks are created from the page (project, workspace, skills, model override, goal mode), re-parented by drag & drop or from the drawer, and moved between boards with their children; any task with files carries a paperclip, its files listed on demand — the board payload carries only a count — and previewed by type (markdown, plain text, image, PDF, HTML in a sandboxed frame) or downloaded. Zero API keys, zero model tokens; live updates follow the plugin's /events websocket, which a gateway turns off with KANBAN_GANTT_WS=0 (the page then polls every 60 s and shows a Refresh button).
Good to know before installing
Desktop page plus dashboard routes that read and write the local kanban boards (create tasks with workspace path, skills, model override and goal mode; re-parent; move a task, with its children, to another board — the copy is verified there before the source rows and their links are deleted; edit status, assignee and description; bulk archive and delete; read task attachment files from the board's own attachments folder for preview and download); live updates over a dashboard-authenticated /events websocket, off with KANBAN_GANTT_WS=0; no third-party network.

Nine-Balance Widget
Community

Nine AI provider balances in one desktop widget — live balance/usage and quota reads, token-based spend estimates with off-peak price windows, drop alerts, and an anime mascot per provider with rotating flavour lines (DeepSeek, MiniMax, GLM, Kimi, MiMo, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok). Fully English UI. Desktop-only: desktop/plugin.js inside the plugin SDK surface; no agent tools, hooks, middleware or env vars. Keys are entered in the widget's settings page and stored in plugin-scoped storage; the widget only calls those providers' official APIs. Ported from MeteorNOX/DeepSeek-Balance-Whale-Widget (MIT).
Good to know before installing
API keys you enter in the widget's settings are stored in plaintext in Desktop plugin storage (not Hermes' secret store); while the widget is on, the Desktop renderer polls the balance/usage endpoint of the provider matching your current model every 60 s with that provider's key (api.deepseek.com, api.minimaxi.com / api.minimax.io, open.bigmodel.cn / api.z.ai, api.moonshot.cn / api.moonshot.ai, api.kimi.com, token-plan-cn.xiaomimimo.com, api.openai.com, api.anthropic.com, generativelanguage.googleapis.com with the key in the URL, api.x.ai); each key goes only to its own provider; draws a floating widget over the app window.

Tell Cabinet the job you need done and it answers with the smallest setup that does it (one chat, a skill, a routine, a Bot or a crew), shows which answers led there, then helps you act: add one of botcabinet.com's 20 Bots (each with its test record shown) as a Hermes profile, plan a new Bot line by line, or set up a crew of Bots in a handoff order with blocked Kanban cards. Everything Cabinet makes can be removed again from My Bots, and a Bot that Hermes's own Bots catalog carries is handed over to it, never duplicated.
Good to know before installing
Fetches its Bot catalog from https://botcabinet.com/catalog.json on open and Refresh (data only, 2 MB cap) and, after you confirm, creates Hermes profiles whose instructions (SOUL.md) come from that catalog; can create and archive Kanban cards for a crew; deletes only profiles it created that you have not changed; reads ~/.hermes/profiles and hashes profile files to track what it made; calls private Hermes modules (hermes_cli.profiles, kanban_db), so a Hermes update can break it; no shell, credentials, telemetry or self-updates.

Your workspace, shaped by your agent: a bundled browser desktop powered by Hermes. Describe the workflow you need; the agent can rearrange windows and panes, customize appearance, build versioned sandboxed web apps, and refine your workspace with scoped control, previews and checkpoints. Illustrated examples show a project-specific COCS 3D asset viewer and OmniVoice experiment bench; these example apps and their backends are not bundled. Includes permission-controlled desktop agent-reply notifications (generic alerts while Orbit remains open; browser/OS restrictions apply) and 100,000-character chat messages, guidance and drafts. Includes Devplan Studio for guided interviews, specifications, phased devplans and circular-development handoff exports. Optional conversational interviews require explicit service setup and a working Hermes provider login, and send project context to that provider. Includes 14 distinctive interface presets including Nous Atelier, with local wallpapers, themed icons and taskbar treatments. Agent chats include inline expandable tool activity, running/completed/failed summaries, an activity strip, a workspace agent overview and responsive toolbar controls. Missing tool-call IDs are explicitly uncorrelated. Embedded apps retain their own styling. Includes a reviewed GitHub app catalog with immutable source pins and a portable Live Telemetry package. Catalog sync (operator-run scripts/orbit_catalog.py, never triggered by the Hermes tool or at register) reads the entry list from the upstream repo's main branch at sync time and downloads third-party static app bundles at their per-entry commit pins; installed UI runs in a sandboxed iframe and never executes backend code. Optional telemetry backend staging downloads pinned Python; execution requires explicit host-code trust and separate private authenticated HTTPS setup. Backend code runs with owner privileges, not a sandbox.
Good to know before installing
Adapter talks only to the configured local Orbit server (loopback, Bearer capability from runtime_dir); mutations off by default. Optional orbit.py setup runs npm ci / node. Bundled VNC/Xpra launchers use the Orbit page's hostname and scheme; optional Linux apps require separate provisioning. Optional api.typesafe.ai requests require explicit consent and a user-supplied key. The 0.2.7 web app's opt-in Show tools panel displays tool call arguments and results for the current Hermes conversation, fetched from the local Orbit server and local Hermes session API and kept in the browser only. The Nous Atelier theme contains Nous Research logo artwork and is unofficial; Orbit is not affiliated with Nous Research.

Codex × ChatGPT inspired theme for the Hermes Desktop chat: dual light/dark palettes that follow the system appearance, graphite-on-paper typography with a 1.625 root line height (measured from ZCode's chat body) and content-spacing presets (1.5/1.625/1.75), the OpenAI radius scale (inline 4px / rows 8px / controls 10px / cards 12px / composer 20px), hairline borders instead of shadows, and an 880px reading column with 768/880/992px presets. Settings → Plugins → Codex Theme offers appearance mode, reading width, content spacing, text & code font presets, user/assistant chat bubble colors and a bilingual (EN/中文) UI as native controls; the theme paints theme-level tokens only and never writes user-configurable settings such as --chat-text-scale. v1.2.0 is a compliance release — the composer-drag and input-focus-guard features of the v1.1 line were removed because they patched prototypes and captured global events, which catalog rule 8 forbids.
Good to know before installing
No network calls, no telemetry, no credentials; registers only through the Desktop plugin SDK (THEMES_AREA, PALETTE_AREA, ctx.registerSettingsPage, ctx.i18n), switches the active theme to Codex once on first install, and keeps its preferences in plugin-scoped ctx.storage.

A Today page in Hermes Desktop, plus hermes day show and check, built from sections you list in a YAML file: any program that prints JSON (your tracker, a script of yours), your open GitHub pull requests and review requests through gh, one read-only tool of an MCP server you already configured, and your AI providers' limit windows from hermes usage. Items can carry a colour, a progress bar and a relative time; the page follows the Desktop theme. Ships a demo page that needs no login or network. Read-only and no model calls; merging a pull request from the page is off by default and needs a preview and a confirmation pinned to the head commit.
Good to know before installing
Runs the programs your sources file names (no shell), plus gh and hermes usage, as your user with your existing logins; calls a configured MCP server's tool only when the server marks it readOnlyHint, in a child process that imports three undocumented Hermes MCP modules (there is no public seam for this yet); reads only the sources file; writes nothing to disk; logs carry section names and exit statuses, not source output. No credentials stored, no telemetry.

Discover, visualize, sanitize/export, and import community agents.md swarm configurations. Outputs abbreviated agent/persona/goal tables, renders ASCII topology diagrams (.svg and .png images + portable 7-bit copy-paste ASCII symbol blocks), generates rich themed swarm illustrations across 12 curated signature themes and orthogonal intensity levels (understated, normal, overstated) via Hermes default model and image_generate, exports sanitized agents.md files, and imports/reverts shared configs with on-screen file preview and best-effort import warnings; every import/revert asks for approval.
Good to know before installing
Myswarm_import/myswarm_revert replace the workspace AGENTS.md/agents.md (a file Hermes loads into every session's system prompt) after a Hermes approval prompt; choosing "always" approves all later imports. The import security check is a best-effort regex + model warning, not a security boundary — only import files you trust. Swarm file contents are sent to your configured model for parsing and PII scrubbing (also best-effort; review exports before sharing), and myswarm_visualize_image calls your configured image_generate provider (may cost credits). Adds a ~2.8k-character MySwarm guidance section to every session's system prompt. Writes myswarm-ascii.svg/.png and .md exports into the current folder (exports may overwrite an existing .md file there), plus a .agents.md.myswarm.orig sidecar, and keeps import backups under HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/myswarm/.

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
Its stylesheet recolors Desktop surfaces, code-block syntax colors, status colors, selection and inline code only while Nord is selected, and it switches the active theme to Nord once on first enable; no network calls, file reads or shell commands.
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 nord-theme
Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable nord-theme
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).
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).

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.
