Experimental plugins for Hermes Agent that Nous Research built but does not support.
Each one works and installs from the Hermes plugin catalog, listed in the community tier.
These plugins started as Hermes features we decided not to put in the core. They are here so anyone who wants them can install them. They are not supported:
- No promise of fixes. A bug report may sit, and a core change may break a plugin before anyone notices. CI runs every plugin against current Hermes nightly, so breakage is at least visible.
- Community tier in the catalog. The catalog shows these as community plugins, not official ones, so nobody installs one thinking Nous maintains it.
- Up for adoption. If you use one and want to own it, open an issue. We'll help you move it to your own repo and point the catalog entry there.
Supported first-party plugins live in hermes-official-plugins.
| Plugin | Install | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram Business Mode | hermes plugins install hermes-telegram-business |
Turns Hermes into an observe-with-approval secretary for your Telegram Business account. It drafts replies to your customers, and nothing is sent until you approve it. |
| Inbox | hermes plugins install inbox |
hermes inbox shows everything in flight for the active profile in one read-only view: failed cron runs, stalled or dropped delegations, orphaned background processes and blocked kanban tasks, plus running work, undelivered results, upcoming jobs and open chat sessions. |
| Workflow Record | hermes plugins install workflow-record |
hermes record captures a browser workflow you demonstrate once (clicks, field values, navigations; passwords masked inside the page), and its bundled skill lets /learn turn the recording into a skill that replays it. |
| GitHub Copilot | hermes plugins install github-copilot |
Your GitHub Copilot subscription as a model provider, formerly bundled in Hermes core: copilot calls the Copilot API with your GitHub account (hermes auth add copilot device-code sign-in or a GH_TOKEN), copilot-acp drives your installed Copilot CLI over ACP. |
| Patsnap | hermes plugins install patsnap |
Patent and scientific-literature search through Patsnap's hosted MCP server (prior art, assignees, legal lifecycle, papers), with a workflow skill. Needs a PATSNAP_API_KEY from the Patsnap Open Platform; calls spend Patsnap credits. |
| Yuanbao | hermes plugins install yuanbao |
Tencent Yuanbao (腾讯元宝) as a Hermes messaging platform, formerly built into Hermes core: DMs and group chats over Yuanbao's bot WebSocket, native media and stickers, DM/group access policies, cron delivery to a home channel, and the yb_* group/DM/sticker tools. Unsupported and likely not maintained going forward; community fixes welcome. |
Same layout and rules as the official repo: each top-level directory is one self-contained plugin with its own plugin.yaml, README.md and tests/. Run a suite against core with:
cd telegram-business
HERMES_AGENT_REPO=../../hermes-agent PYTHONPATH=../../hermes-agent python -m pytest -qMerging here ships nothing to users. The release is the catalog pin on hermes-agent (plugin-catalog/<name>.yaml, sha: + subdir:).
