Advanced Delegation: Official Plugin Routes Subagents to Different Models

Nous Research’s official Advanced Delegation plugin (requires ≥0.22.5) lets you define named routes (fast/cheap, deep/strong, local, or another Hermes profile). Hermes assigns each subagent task to the fitting route. Results show the actual model used. Multiple practical demos appeared (Haiku for summaries, Opus for hard logic).

Hermes Skill Lock + Pre-LLM Blocking Hooks (v0.22.6/7 window)

HermesWatcher highlighted key changes from the Nov 1–3 merge window (rolled into v0.22.6/7): Skill Lock lets you lock individual skills from Desktop or CLI so Hermes cannot rewrite them via skill_manage, write_file, patch, or terminal. Plugins and shell hooks can now block a request before it ever reaches the model (no tokens spent). Approval prompts surface hidden Unicode/control characters. `/model reset` restores default model without losing conversation. Cron jobs receive actual run time + timezone.
