Hermes Studio by balaji-embedcentrum for Hermes Agent

Self-hostable browser IDE for Hermes agents with chat, file tree, terminal, memory and GitHub workspaces

What Hermes Studio does

Hermes Studio is the studio-core engine, a single codebase that builds several branded studios selected at build time with VITE_BRAND. The hermes brand is the agent IDE base with chat, files, terminal, memory and skills. The default sylang brand adds the Sylang MBSE toolset, with coverage, traceability and FMEA views plus DSL and diagram editors, and a sample brand serves as a copyable template for making your own.

The stack is TanStack Start (React 19 SSR), Vite and Tailwind, with Supabase for authentication and Postgres data and a GitHub OAuth provider for sign-in. Chat needs an agent gateway, which can be any OpenAI-compatible backend such as the Hermes agent or LiteLLM, set through HERMES_API_URL. Secrets are encrypted at rest with an AES-256-GCM key, and each user's GitHub clones live in a workspace directory. It requires Node 22 or later and pnpm 9.
