Hermes
Nous Research's Hermes agent CLI.
hive agents install hermes Run it in a terminal, or find it in Hivemind under Settings ▸ Plugins.
Hermes
Runs hermes, the Hermes command-line agent, in a Hivemind terminal tile.
Before you add it
Hivemind installs no code for it: it runs the hermes command you install yourself. Get it from its install page, or run curl -fsSL https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/install.sh | bash.
What it can do in Hivemind
- Says when a turn ends, so another agent can hand it work and read its reply (
hive ctl read, workflows). - Starts a new session after a restart.
- Its permission prompts stay with you, even when another agent started it.
What it asks for
Hivemind shows this before it adds the agent.
- Links your {home}/.hermes into a private copy it points hermes at
- Reports its status and approval prompts to Hivemind through its own hooks, which can also read and type into your other tiles
Launch options
Set them on its page in Settings ▸ Plugins, or with hive plugins set agent:hermes <option> <value>.
| Option | How it is passed |
|---|---|
| Model | --model <value> |
| Approval | yolo: --yolo |
