How to Install Official Hermes Agent Plugins

Hunting for a way to add one integration to Hermes Agent without dragging every other one along? Good news. The official Hermes plugin catalog lets you install just the piece you need, one line at a time.

Each catalog entry is pinned to the exact commit that was reviewed, so you know what code you are getting. The repo is open source under the MIT license, and plugin fixes can ship on their own schedule without waiting for the next Hermes core release.

What You Need

• Hermes Agent already installed, so the hermes command works.

Tutorial

1. Find the plugin you want in the Hermes plugin catalog. Every entry points at the specific commit that was reviewed, rather than a moving target.

1. Run the install command, swapping <name> for the plugin you picked. The official repo already includes plugins like Home Assistant, Spotify and Snyk.

```

hermes plugins install <name>

```

Wrapping Up

You now have only the integration you asked for, instead of a core loaded with extras. Each plugin directory in the repo is a complete plugin, with its own manifests, dependencies, and tests, so it is easy to see what you actually installed. Head back to the catalog the next time you need another one.
