Nous Research ships official Hermes Agent plugins, incl. an approve-first Telegram helper

Nous Research has put the official plugins for its open-source Hermes Agent in one GitHub repo (MIT licence, created 10 October 2026). Each plugin installs with one command from the Hermes plugin catalog, and every catalog entry is pinned to a reviewed commit, so you get exactly the code that was reviewed. The official set includes Home Assistant, Spotify, Snyk security scanning, Blender, a Memory Wiki that turns your local session history into browsable pages, and Telegram Business Mode, which drafts replies to your customers and sends nothing until you approve each one. There is also an experimental plugin that runs Hermes on your Claude Pro or Max subscription through the official Claude Code CLI instead of a per-token API key. Hermes itself works from the terminal, a desktop app, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp and other chat apps, with whichever model you choose. Sorted take: The approve-before-send pattern is the right default for any agent that talks to customers.
