Awesome Hermes EVA Skins: app and UI for Hermes Agent

EVA-style Hermes CLI skins with pixel fonts and a retro CRT shader setup for Windows Terminal

What Awesome Hermes EVA Skins does

Awesome Hermes EVA Skins is a collection of four Hermes Agent skins in an EVA and NERV control-room style: eva-00, eva-01, eva-02 and eva-nerv, each a YAML file for the Hermes CLI. The repository pairs them with a Windows Terminal setup that gives the terminal a retro CRT look, using Ark Pixel fonts, two HLSL pixel shaders and ready-made profile and color-scheme snippets.

The two shaders trade style for legibility. The amber one maps most colors to amber with CRT glow and suits screenshots and recordings, while the readable one keeps more of the original hues for long sessions with code and logs. A PowerShell script installs the fonts, skins, shaders and profiles for the current user without administrator rights, offers a dry run, and backs up the Windows Terminal settings.json before changing it. A browser tool, braille-studio.html, converts images to colored braille.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

Built for the Hermes CLI: the skins are Hermes skin YAML files that you activate with the /skin command, and the installer copies them into the Hermes skin directory.

How to install Awesome Hermes EVA Skins

These commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository for the latest steps before you run them.
