bighelp-plugin: plugin for Hermes Agent

Hermes plugin for the bighelp iPhone app: agent boards, native cards, iPhone tools, voice and files

What bighelp-plugin does

The bighelp plugin is the Hermes side of the bighelp iPhone app. It adds what the app needs on top of a stock Hermes host: per-agent boards with feed, ideas, goals, activity and approval history, native chat cards such as metrics, lists, timelines, charts and forms, iPhone tools, live voice, files and wikis, and optional end-to-end encrypted notifications. Hermes stays in charge of agents, chats, tools, approvals and scheduled tasks.

The plugin runs inside the Hermes dashboard and reuses its sign-in, opens no extra ports and needs no bighelp account or public URL. The iPhone tools cover health data (read-only), calendar, reminders and location, and each stays off until you allow it for a host on your phone. A secure-input tool lets an agent request a password or API key through a masked pop-up. Hermes saves the value to the agent's .env, and the model never sees it. Updates run through hermes bighelp update.
