HERMES AGENT: 5 USEFUL COMMUNITY PLUGINS RIGHT NOW Hermes already ships with strong core features — Skills, MCP, Memory, Curator, and a plugin system. These extensions don’t replace anything in the core. They fill practical gaps. Here are the ones worth installing: 1. hermes-plugins by 42-evey Solid collection. Adds goal management, inter-agent communication, cost tracking, and easier model switching. Good for running Hermes autonomously. 2. web-search-plus Much stronger web search than the default. Supports multiple providers, smart routing, quality scoring, and a proper research mode. 3. super-hermes by Cranot Adds “Prisms” — structured analytical frameworks. Makes the agent noticeably better at deep analysis and catching its own blind spots. 4. Hermes Agent Self-Evolution (by Nous Research) Official companion that automatically improves skills and prompts using DSPy + GEPA. Useful if you want the agent to get better over time with minimal manual work. 5. Advanced Memory Providers When built-in memory isn’t enough for long projects, external providers give Hermes stronger long-term recall and context handling. All of these work cleanly on top of Hermes v0.16.0 without conflicting with core systems. Which plugins or extensions are you actually using with Hermes right now? Github links 👇

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

I just built my second brain with Hermes Agent. It remembers people, companies, projects, and decisions. It pulls from meeting notes, docs, anything I feed it, and cites the source every time. It's this repo called Gbrain, open-sourced by Y Combinator president Garry Tan. install it by pasting this into Hermes: "Install Gbrain following the instructions at Set up the embedding provider, then run gbrain init and gbrain doctor to verify." Add the MCP server so Hermes can call it directly: "Add the Gbrain MCP server and reload." The graph builds itself. Pattern matching on the people and companies already in your notes. 31 points more precise than plain vector search, by their own benchmark. The data from the video is made up so I could show you how it works. Hermes' memory remembers our conversations. Gbrain remembers my world. Open source. Runs local, no server, no Docker.

HERMES AGENT TURNS EXPENSE TRACKING INTO ZERO FRICTION. No Siri Shortcuts. No manual entry. Just open Telegram and say: “Hey Bob, I spent $15 on dinner at Guzman Y Gomez.” Done. Hermes profile “Bob” automatically: - Parses the message - Categorizes the expense - Writes directly to your Notion database - Asks clarifying questions when needed (e.g. “Summit” — clothing brand or location?) This is the real advantage of Hermes profiles. You create specialist agents with their own memory, tools, and instructions instead of talking to one generic assistant. Quick setup: 1. Create the profile `hermes profile create bob` 2. Connect Telegram `hermes gateway setup` 3. Equip Bob with tools Enable the Notion integration + required MCP servers so he can write to your database. 4. Define the rules Set categories, formatting and clarification logic in his system prompt or SOUL. md .HERMES AGENT TURNS EXPENSE TRACKING INTO ZERO FRICTION. No Siri Shortcuts. No manual entry.

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

Finally, a proper chat UI for Hermes Agent (open-source)! Hermes ships an official dashboard, but it's primarily built for management, and its chat is just a terminal piped into a browser tab. Hermes Web UI is an open-source chat-first alternative. It's self-hosted and points at your existing ~/.hermes state, so there's nothing new to configure. - It's a native web chat, not a terminal in a tab - Sessions group by date with a context ring - Kanban renders the agent's task board - Spaces manages your workspaces - Skills panel lists the full catalog - Tasks panel shows cron jobs - Insights show usage and activity - Memory shows MEMORY and SOUL files - Logs tails the agent, gateway, and error logs The whole setup runs 100% locally, binds to localhost by default, and you reach it over an SSH tunnel or Tailscale from your phone. I have shared the Hermes Web UI GitHub repo in the replies. Do note that it's a community project, not official, so expect occasional rough edges (concurrent profile runs are blocked for now). To dive deeper into Hermes Agent, my co-founder wrote a full masterclass about it, covering the learning loop, the memory tiers, self-evolving skills, GEPA, and running multiple isolated agents. Read it below.

MASSIVE Hermes Agent update over the last few days Totally changes the way I use Hermes Here's 6 new features you need to start using immediately (video demoing them below): 1. Mixture of agents: send your prompt to a team of different models. The team sends back all of their responses to an orchestrator model who synthesizes a final answer. Gives much better results than just sending a prompt to 1 model 2. /learn: use the new built in /learn skill to have Hermes automatically create new skills. You can either give a prompt after /learn or put in a URL. I like pasting in URLs of tweets with helpful tips after /learn and Hermes will automatically turn it into a skill 3. /journey: See every skill and memory Hermes has created for you on a really nice timeline/chart. Great for seeing how your agent has learned and improved over time 4. Self improvement cost savings: Hermes now uses cheaper models to do it's self improvement including memory creation and skill creation. These types of activities happen in the background of almost every prompt, so this results in TONS of cost savings over time 5. Vibe coding improvements: Hermes desktop is now a full vibe coding tool. You can see diffs, make commits, and even open up PRs directly from the desktop interface. Makes it WAYYY nicer to vibe code with 6. Fable 5 is now built in. Fable 5. Obviously Fable is incredibly expensive, so only use this new profile for incredibly complex tasks. Excellent updates that have significantly improved the experience. Video demoing all the updates below!

A SELF-IMPROVING KNOWLEDGE BASE THAT GROWS EVERY TIME YOU FEED IT. mentioned this briefly in the overnight workflow article. here is the full breakdown. what it is: a self-improving knowledge base built as interlinked markdown files. unlike RAG (which rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. cross-references stay linked. contradictions get flagged automatically. synthesis reflects everything ingested so far. why this matters for Hermes memory: Hermes built-in memory knows YOU. it remembers your conversations, your preferences, your business context across sessions. but it doesn't know your inbox. or your meeting transcripts. or that article you saved last week. or the expert framework you want it to learn. the LLM Wiki solves that. THE DIVISION OF LABOR human curates sources and directs analysis. agent summarizes, cross-references, files, and maintains consistency. you drop in articles, transcripts, notes. Hermes indexes them, links related concepts, flags contradictions, updates affected pages. your knowledge base grows itself. SETUP IS ONE COMMAND the skill ships with Hermes. enable it. set WIKI_PATH in ~/.hermes/.env: WIKI_PATH=/Users/you/wiki defaults to ~/wiki if unset. then drop anything into it: "index this article into my wiki: [paste URL or text]" Hermes reads it, builds a source page, updates related entries, flags contradictions. THE OBSIDIAN ANGLE set OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH to the same directory. now your wiki is visible in Obsidian's graph view. nodes, links, backlinks. all built by Hermes. for headless servers: install obsidian-headless. syncs vaults without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you read on your laptop. THE COMPOUND EFFECT Hermes knows you. the wiki knows your world. combine them and the agent answers questions using BOTH contexts at once. month 1: you explain things twice. month 3: the agent references the wiki on its own. answers get sharper because the knowledge base got sharper. AUTOMATIONS THAT FEED THE WIKI set cron jobs to ingest automatically: "every day at 9am, check Granola for new meetings. add any new transcripts to my wiki under meeting notes." "every morning, scan my Gmail starred items. add anything worth keeping to the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [your niche]. summarize and file." your wiki grows while you sleep. Hermes never forgets what gets indexed. THE LIMITATION TO KNOW unlike Hermes memory (which is conversational and lives across sessions), the wiki is a separate knowledge layer. Hermes won't pull from the wiki automatically unless you reference it or save it as a skill. best setup: build an LLM Wiki personality that tells Hermes to consult the wiki when answering strategy questions or domain-specific queries. full HERMES AGENT OVERNIGHT WORKFLOW👇

Introducing az8 studio — the Agentic Studio for AI video creation. AI video is no longer just about typing a prompt and hoping for the best. It is about creating in a workspace where your agent understands the whole project, remembers the context, and helps before you ask. Meet Zumi — your creative agent inside az8. Zumi sees your assets, prompts, scenes, results, and decisions in one visual studio. It can spot what is missing, suggest what to try next, and help turn vanilla ideas into finished videos.

HERMES AGENT CAN CREATE VIDEOS. NOT WITH AN API CALL. IT WRITES THE CODE, RENDERS THE SCENES, AND STITCHES THEM INTO AN MP4. the video attached to this post was generated by Hermes Agent using manim-video skill. three bundled video skills most people skip: 1. MANIM VIDEO 3Blue1Brown-style animated explainers. algorithm visualizations, equation derivations, architecture diagrams, data stories. the pipeline: PLAN → CODE → RENDER → STITCH → AUDIO → REVIEW Hermes writes a plan.md with narrative arc and scene list. then codes a Python script with one class per scene. renders each scene through Manim CE. stitches clips with ffmpeg. adds voiceover if you want it. requirements: → Python 3.10+ → Manim Community Edition v0.20+ → LaTeX (texlive-full) → ffmpeg → no GPU needed draft quality: manim -ql production quality: manim -qh 2. HYPERFRAMES complement to manim-video. use manim for math and algorithms. use hyperframes for everything else: motion graphics, talking-head with captions, product tours, social overlays, shader transitions. HTML is the source of truth. GSAP timeline for animation. CSS for appearance. HyperFrames engine captures frame-by-frame and encodes to MP4 or WebM with ffmpeg. 3. KANBAN VIDEO ORCHESTRATOR this is the advanced play. a multi-agent video production pipeline backed by Hermes Kanban. it creates profiles for each video role. a director profile decomposes the project into kanban tasks. renderer profiles pick up scenes and produce them. the orchestrator decides which skill fits each scene: manim-video for math, hyperframes for motion graphics, p5js for generative art, blender-mcp for 3D, ascii-video for terminal aesthetics. one prompt. multiple agents. one final video. HOW TO USE: enable any of these: /skills search manim /skills search hyperframes /skills search video or ask directly: "create a 60-second explainer video about how the self-improvement loop works in Hermes Agent. use manim style. dark background, amber and teal accents." Hermes writes the plan, codes every scene, renders, stitches, and delivers an MP4. you review and publish. comment MANIM and I'll send you the exact prompt I used to generate the video in this post. full Hermes NIGHT MODE WORKFLOW 👇

I love Hermes Agent and Gemini Live is also one of my for voice conversation, so over the weekend I built a small vibe-coding project that brings the two together called IRIS. The idea is simple: Gemini Live becomes the conversational interface, while Hermes Agent handles execution, automation, and long-running tasks behind the scenes. I can talk to Gemini naturally, and whenever something needs real work, Gemini formulates the request and hands it off to Hermes. The best part is that the conversation never stops. Gemini keeps talking with me naturally while Hermes works in the background. When Hermes finishes, Gemini proactively tells me the results are ready, switches context to the Hermes output, helps me review it, and then we return to our normal conversation. That manager/worker flow feels really good. Because I wanted the app to be as hands-free as possible, I also added a camera-based gesture layer using MediaPipe Gesture Recognizer. I can point at Hermes task cards, open details, scroll through results with my hand, and close them using gestures. Small weekend project, but I had a lot of fun building it. Also, the anti-flicker macOS app I vibe-coded yesterday ended up being incredibly useful for this project. It fixed my webcam flickering issue, so I can finally record videos properly. 🙂
