Awesome Hermes Agent

A curated list of skills, tools, integrations, and resources for enhancing your Hermes Agent workflow — the self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research.

Hermes Agent is the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure. Talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.

This list tracks the growing ecosystem around it.

Ecosystem status (last reviewed: 2026-04-03)

• Hermes Agent: v0.6.0 (v2026.3.30)
• Core repo: NousResearch/hermes-agent (23k+ stars)
• Latest release notes: Hermes releases

Where Do I Start?

New to Hermes? Don't try to install everything at once. Here's the three-step path from zero to productive:

1. Get running — Follow the Official Docs quickstart. It covers installation, CLI, configuration, and your first conversation.
2. Add your first skills — Install wondelai/skills (380+ stars, actively maintained) — a cross-platform skills library that works with Hermes and other agents. Or try litprog-skill (75+ stars) for literate programming across Claude Code, OpenCode, and Hermes.
3. Get a GUI — Set up hermes-workspace (500+ stars) for a Hermes-native workspace with chat, terminal, and skills manager. Or use mission-control (3.7k+ stars) for a broader agent orchestration dashboard with fleet management, task dispatch, and cost tracking.

Operational Playbooks

Practical workflow patterns that repeatedly help Hermes teams in production.

• Nightly self-evolution + guardrail evaluation — Run hermes-agent-self-evolution on a schedule, then run a second verification cron to score quality and block optimization-loop gaming.
• Memory pressure handling with Honcho/Hindsight — If you are repeating context or losing long-term recall, review Honcho Memory docs, and evaluate hindsight or self-hosted memory backends.
• Tune session timeout/expiry early — Use configuration docs to adjust session retention for slower-moving threads so context is kept when needed.
• OpenClaw side-by-side migration — Keep both systems running during migration using openclaw-to-hermes and native Hermes migration paths, then cut over once cron and routing behavior match.
• Curate USER.md and MEMORY.md intentionally — Treat profile memory as high-signal infrastructure. Keep entries concise, durable, and preference-focused instead of dumping raw notes.
