Hermes Labs Plugins
NousResearch/hermes-labs-plugins Published by Nous Research
Experimental Hermes Agent plugins from Nous Research that are published without support
Hermes Labs Plugins is a Nous Research repository of experimental Hermes Agent plugins that are not supported. It currently lists Telegram Business Mode, Inbox and Workflow Record.
What Hermes Labs Plugins does
These plugins began as Hermes features that Nous Research decided not to put in the core. Each one works and installs from the Hermes plugin catalog, where it appears in the community tier instead of the official one. The README is explicit that they are unsupported: bug reports may sit, core changes may break a plugin, and CI runs every plugin against current Hermes nightly so breakage is at least visible. Anyone who uses one can ask to adopt it and move it to their own repository.
The three plugins are Telegram Business Mode, which drafts replies to customers on a Telegram Business account and sends nothing until you approve; Inbox, whose hermes inbox command shows failed cron runs, stalled delegations, orphaned background processes and blocked kanban tasks in one read-only view; and Workflow Record, whose hermes record captures a browser workflow you demonstrate once so /learn can turn it into a replay skill. Supported first-party plugins live in hermes-official-plugins.
Key features
- Telegram Business Mode: drafts customer replies and waits for approval
- Inbox: one read-only view of failed cron runs, stalled delegations, orphaned processes and blocked kanban tasks
- Workflow Record: captures a demonstrated browser workflow, with passwords masked in the page
- Each plugin is self-contained with its own plugin.yaml, README and tests
- CI runs every plugin against current Hermes nightly
When to use it

- Turning a one-time browser demonstration into a reusable skill
Who it is for: Hermes Agent users who want to try experimental plugins and accept that they are not supported.
