Advanced Delegation Plugin for Hermes Agent

Official Nous Research plugin lets Hermes’s orchestrator route each subagent to a different model or Hermes profile via named routes you define (e.g. fast, deep, local, or specialist profiles with their own SOUL.md / skills / credentials). Requires Hermes ≥0.22.5. Model routes and profile routes are separate modes. Agent only sees the names/descriptions you write.

Why it matters

Directly addresses cost, latency, and specialization in multi-agent workflows — the practical next step beyond single-model subagents. High community demand, official support, and immediate setup path.

OpenClaw or Hermes Agent? Neither Is a Model — Both Are Harnesses That Fail Differently

Thread framing both as runtime harnesses controlling memory, tools, routing, and skills. OpenClaw offers persistent agent teams across Slack/Telegram/email and a large ClawHub skill library, but risks context bloat. Hermes is leaner, cron-friendly on cheap VPS, and promotes repeated patterns into skills, but has weaker real multi-agent coordination.

Which agent holds the context is still a user problem

@jessegenet described the cost of a poly-agent setup: remembering which agent and thread has the context. She is testing another product heavily but still runs a Nous Hermes agent team daily. Separate from that, @niyogi noted a VPS Hermes install that was told to install tooling and expose MCP itself.

Computer Use: Hermes Drives Native Apps in the Background

New Computer Use capability lets Hermes operate native desktop applications (menus, settings, dialogs) on macOS, Windows, and Linux while the user continues working. Cursor, keyboard focus, and Spaces stay with the user. Works with any tool-capable model, including local ones. Web and file work still route through existing tools.
