SHA-pinned plugin pack for Hermes Desktop: provider quotas, tool breaks, memory review, RSS reader
Hermes Agent Awesome Plugins is a collection of sixteen plugins for Hermes Desktop and the Hermes CLI, thirteen of which are bundled in a SHA-pinned pack. It adds status-bar provider quotas, stalled-tool control, reasoning and iteration budgets, memory review and more.
What Hermes Agent Awesome Plugins does
Hermes Agent Awesome Plugins is a repository of sixteen plugins for Hermes Desktop and CLI workflows. Thirteen of them are pinned by SHA in a pack file, hermes-pack.yaml, at pack version 1.22.0, so an install reproduces the same builds each time. Three others, reasoning-switch, prompt-enhance and hermes-jev-routing, live in the repo but are installed separately.
The repo keeps two trees. The personal tree is the author's full-featured edition, which may reach into Hermes Desktop internals such as the app DOM and persisted keys, so a Desktop update can break it. The public tree stays inside the Hermes plugin SDK so it can be listed in a catalog. Fourteen of the sixteen plugins have a public edition, while better-capabilities and sessionretitler remain personal-only. Provider Status, for example, shows used and remaining quota in the status bar for providers such as OpenRouter, Anthropic, Grok, Codex and DeepSeek, with multi-account support.
Key features
- Provider Status shows used and remaining quota in the status bar, with multi-account support and rotation on low quota
- Iteration Budget Meter shows per-turn N/budget progress, with request stats on hover and click
- Reasoning Switch cycles reasoning effort from the status bar (installed separately from the pack)
- Intelligent Tool Break adds /break, /break {msg} and /again so a stalled tool can be interrupted while the turn stays alive
- Memory Review lets you approve or reject staged memory writes from a checkbox dialog
- Better Capabilities deletes plugins and skills, zips a skill and offers on/off presets (personal edition only)
When to use it
- Watching API quota across several LLM providers during long Hermes sessions
- Interrupting a stuck tool call without losing the current turn
- Reviewing what Hermes is about to write to memory before it is saved
Who it is for: Hermes Desktop users who run long sessions across several model providers and want status-bar tooling.
