Awesome Hermes Agent
A hand-picked collection of skills, plugins, tools, integrations, and community resources for Hermes Agent — the self-evolving AI agent from Nous Research.
Hermes Agent is built around a closed learning loop — it generates skills from real experience, improves them while working, and starting from v0.12.0 runs an autonomous Curator that scores, merges, and prunes the skill library on a weekly cron cycle. It builds a growing model of who you are across sessions and retains that context persistently. You can host it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or one of seven serverless backends (Vercel Sandbox, Daytona, Modal, and more). Access it through any of 18 built-in messaging platforms — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Feishu/Lark, WeCom, QQBot, Yuanbao, and others — plus Microsoft Teams through a plugin.
This list tracks the ecosystem building around it.
See also: awesome-openclaw — curated resources for OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot / Clawdbot), the predecessor agent with a native Hermes migration path.

Where Do I Start?
If you're new to Hermes, start small instead of installing everything at once:
- Get it running — Work through the Official Docs quickstart. It walks you through installation, CLI usage, configuration, and your first conversation.
- Install your first skills — wondelai/skills (380+ stars, actively maintained) is a cross-platform skills library that works with Hermes and other agents. Or pick up litprog-skill (75+ stars) if you want literate programming support across Hermes, Claude Code, and OpenCode.
- Get a GUI — hermes-workspace (500+ stars) is a Hermes-native workspace with chat, terminal, and a skills manager. If you need multi-agent fleet management, mission-control (3.7k+ stars) handles task dispatch and cost tracking at scale.
Once you're comfortable with the basics, explore the full list below. Every resource carries a maturity label:
| Tag | Meaning |
|---|
| production | Stable, documented, actively maintained — safe to build on |
| beta | Works but still changing — expect some rough edges |
| experimental | Proof of concept or early-stage — informative, not dependable |

Operational Playbooks
Workflow patterns that repeatedly help Hermes teams in production.
- Nightly self-evolution with guardrails — Run hermes-agent-self-evolution on a schedule, then add a second verification cron that scores quality and blocks optimization-loop gaming.
- Managing memory pressure — If you're losing long-term recall or repeating context, review the Honcho memory docs and evaluate hindsight or self-hosted memory backends.
- Configure session timeout and expiry early — Use the configuration docs to tune session retention for slower-moving threads before you need it.
- Side-by-side OpenClaw migration — Keep both systems running during migration using openclaw-to-hermes and native Hermes migration paths. Cut over once cron and routing behavior match.
- Treat USER.md and MEMORY.md as infrastructure — Keep entries concise, durable, and preference-focused rather than raw notes. High signal beats high volume.
Level-Up Blueprints
Opinionated stacks for getting more from Hermes quickly.
- Memory that compounds — Start with Hermes built-in memory. Add honcho-self-hosted for stronger cross-session user modeling, hindsight for retain/recall/reflect workflows across large histories, and plur for portable shared memory in an open engram format. Pair with flowstate-qmd for proactive context pre-loading.
- Self-improvement without drift — Pair hermes-agent-self-evolution with scheduled regression checks and lintlang for prompt and config linting. The goal isn't "evolve faster" — it's "evolve without quietly getting weird."
- Operator cockpit for real work — Use hermes-workspace for daily use, mission-control for multi-agent fleet visibility and cost tracking, and hermes-webui for a lighter ops surface.
- Multi-agent execution layer — Combine Hermes delegation with hermes-agent-acp-skill for Codex/Claude Code routing, zouroboros-swarm-executors for local executor handoff, and bigiron for specialized agent roles.
- Migration and deployment hardening — Keep openclaw-to-hermes in the toolkit even if you prefer the native migration path. For repeatable deploys: nix-hermes-agent, hermes-agent-docker, or evey-setup depending on how opinionated you want the stack.
- Paperclip-governed ops — For teams running Hermes inside a governed company workflow, combine hermes-paperclip-adapter with Hermes cron and one of the operator dashboards. That gives you task governance and operational continuity rather than a clever demo that forgets what it was doing.
- awesome-openclaw — Curated resources for OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot / Clawdbot), the predecessor agent that Hermes supports migrating from natively. Skills, plugins, UIs, deployment guides, and the broader OpenClaw ecosystem.
