oh-my-hermes: plugin for Hermes Agent

Plugin for Hermes Agent that adds workflow gates, model setup and project memory around native skills

What oh-my-hermes does

oh-my-hermes turns a normal Hermes Agent request into a clear capability, a next step and a record of what actually happened. The README calls it the operating layer above Hermes-native skills: it frames the problem, picks the workflow and evidence gates, and runs native skills as capabilities inside that path. It covers planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations and project memory, and states that it never replaces Hermes or hides a coding executor behind it.

A command-line tool named omh handles setup, updates and checks. The omh setup step is required after installing, omh update upgrades the package and refreshes managed skills, the installed plugin bundle and the Hermes registration, and omh doctor verifies or troubleshoots. The omh model picker sets the model per work category, and the same picker opens inside the Hermes TUI as /omh-model. Installers exist for macOS, Linux and Windows PowerShell, plus Homebrew, Bun, npm and a Hermes skill tap. The README is available in English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.
