Hermes Agent
Hermes Agent, Nous Research's open-source agent, shares one memory with your other tools instead of keeping what it learns to itself.
What changes
- Checks your notes and rules before it starts
- Saves what it learns where Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can see it
- Works wherever you run Hermes: your computer, a server or the cloud
Set up
Add the lines shown here to ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
In your terminal, run hermes mcp login alwen. Your browser opens the Alwen page; click Allow.
In a chat that's already running, type /reload-mcp.

Every write is a commit signed by Hermes Agent, so you can see what it added and undo it.

- Notes that match what you're working on
Your vaultyou/alwen-vault
Writes
- What it learns, into inbox/hermes/ for the tidy-up to file
- Decisions, straight into journal/
- Suggested rules, which wait for you to confirm
