## ✨ 亮点
- **自主策展器** — `hermes curator` 作为后台代理在网关的 cron 定时器上运行（默认为7天周期）。它对技能库进行评分、整合相关技能、修剪无效技能，并将每次运行的报告写入 `logs/curator/run.json` 和 `REPORT.md`。归档的技能通过模型+启发式方法分类为“整合”或“修剪”。纵深防御机制保护捆绑/中心技能免受篡改。统一由 `auxiliary.curator` 管理 — 在 `hermes model` 中选择策展器模型，从仪表板进行管理。`hermes curator status` 按使用率对技能排名（最常用/最不常用）。 ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277), [#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307), [#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941), [#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868), [#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
- **自我改进循环 — 重大升级** — 后台审查分支（Hermes 自我改进的核心：每轮后决定保存或更新哪些记忆/技能）现在是基于类别的（基于评分标准而非自由形式）、偏向主动更新（优先更新代理刚加载的技能）、处理 `references/`/`templates/` 子文件，并正确继承父级的实时运行时（提供商、模型、凭据实际传播）。仅限于记忆+技能工具集，防止扩散。记忆提供商干净关闭。前一轮工具消息从摘要中排除，使分支看到干净的上下文。 ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026), [#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213), [#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099), [#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569), [#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204), [#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))

# Hermes Agent v0.12.0 (v2026.4.30)
**Release Date:** April 30, 2026

> The Curator release — Hermes Agent now maintains itself. An autonomous background Curator grades, prunes, and consolidates your skill library on its own schedule. The self-improvement loop that reviews what to save got a substantial upgrade. Four new inference providers, a 18th messaging platform, a 19th via Teams plugin, native Spotify + Google Meet integrations, ComfyUI and TouchDesigner-MCP moved from optional to bundled-by-default, and a ~57% cut to visible TUI cold start.
---
## ✨ Highlights
- **Autonomous Curator** — `hermes curator` runs as a background agent on the gateway's cron ticker (7-day cycle default). It grades your skill library, consolidates related skills, prunes dead ones, and writes per-run reports to `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md`. Archived skills are classified consolidated-vs-pruned via model + heuristic. Defense-in-depth gates protect bundled/hub skills from mutation. Unified under `auxiliary.curator` — pick the curator's model in `hermes model`, manage it from the dashboard. `hermes curator status` ranks skills by usage (most-used / least-used). ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277), [#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307), [#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941), [#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868), [#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
- **Self-improvement loop — substantially upgraded** — The background review fork (the core of Hermes' self-improvement: after each turn it decides what memories/skills to save or update) is now class-first (rubric-based rather than free-form), active-update biased (prefers the skill the agent just loaded), handles `references/`/`templates/` sub-files, and properly inherits the parent's live runtime (provider, model, credentials actually propagate). Restricted to memory + skills toolsets so it can't sprawl. Memory providers shut down cleanly. Prior-turn tool messages excluded from the summary so the fork sees a clean context. ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026), [#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213), [#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099), [#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569), [#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204), [#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))
- **Skill integrations — major expansion** — **ComfyUI v5** with official CLI + REST + hardware-gated local install, moved from optional to **built-in by default** ([#17610](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17610), [#17631](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17631), [#17734](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17734)). **TouchDesigner-MCP** bundled by default, expanded with GLSL, post-FX, audio, geometry, and 9 new reference docs ([#16753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16753), [#16624](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16624), [#16768](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16768) — @kshitijk4poor + @SHL0MS). **Humanizer** skill ports a text-cleaner that strips AI-isms ([#16787](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16787)). **claude-design** HTML artifact skill + design-md (Google DESIGN.md spec) + airtable salvage + `skill_manage` edits in `external_dirs` + direct-URL skill install + `/reload-skills` slash command. ([#16358](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16358), [#14876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/14876), [#16291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16291), [#17512](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17512), [#16323](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16323), [#17744](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17744))
- **LM Studio — first-class provider** — upgraded from a custom-endpoint alias to a full-blown native provider: dedicated auth, `hermes doctor` checks, reasoning transport, live `/models` listing. (Salvage of @kshitijk4poor's #17061.) ([#17102](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17102))
- **Four more new inference providers** — **GMI Cloud** (first-class, salvage of #11955 — @isaachuangGMICLOUD), **Azure AI Foundry** with auto-detection, **MiniMax OAuth** with PKCE browser flow (salvage #15203), **Tencent Tokenhub** (salvage of #16860). ([#16663](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16663), [#15845](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15845), [#17524](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17524), [#16960](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16960))
- **Pluggable gateway platforms + Microsoft Teams** — the gateway is now a plugin host. Drop-in messaging adapters live outside the core, and Microsoft Teams is the first plugin-shipped platform. (Salvage of #17664.) ([#17751](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17751), [#17828](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17828))
- **Tencent 元宝 (Yuanbao) — 18th messaging platform** — native gateway adapter with text + media delivery. ([#16298](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16298), [#17424](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17424))
- **Spotify — native tools + bundled skill + wizard** — 7 tools (play, search, queue, playlists, devices) behind PKCE OAuth, interactive setup wizard, bundled skill, surfacing in `hermes tools`, cron usage documented. ([#15121](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15121), [#15130](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15130), [#15154](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15154), [#15180](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15180))
- **Google Meet plugin** — join calls, transcribe, speak, follow up. Realtime OpenAI transport + Node bot server, full pipeline bundled as a plugin. ([#16364](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16364))
- **`hermes -z` one-shot mode + `hermes update --check`** — non-interactive `hermes -z <prompt>` with `--model`/`--provider`/`HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL`. `hermes update --check` preflight. Opt-in pre-update HERMES_HOME backup. ([#15702](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15702), [#15704](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15704), [#15841](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15841), [#16539](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16539), [#16566](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16566))
- **Models dashboard tab + in-browser model config** — rich per-model analytics, switch main + auxiliary models from the dashboard. ([#17745](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17745), [#17802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17802))
- **Remote model catalog manifest** — OpenRouter + Nous Portal model catalogs are now pulled from a remote manifest so new models show up without a release. ([#16033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16033))
- **Native multimodal image routing** — images now route based on the model's actual vision capability rather than provider defaults. ([#16506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16506))
- **Gateway media parity** — native multi-image sending across Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Email, and Signal; centralized audio routing with FLAC support + Telegram document fallback. ([#17909](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17909), [#17833](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17833))
- **TUI catches up to (and past) the classic CLI** — LaTeX rendering (@austinpickett), `/reload` .env hot-reload, pluggable busy-indicator styles (@OutThisLife, #13610), opt-in auto-resume of last session, expanded light-terminal auto-detection, session delete from `/resume` picker with `d`, modified mouse-wheel line scroll, and a `/mouse` toggle that kills ConPTY's phantom mouse injection (@kevin-ho). ([#17175](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17175), [#17286](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17286), [#17150](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17150), [#17130](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17130), [#17113](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17113), [#17668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17668), [#17669](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17669), [#15488](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15488))
- **Observability + achievements plugins** — bundled Langfuse observability plugin (salvage #16845) + bundled hermes-achievements plugin that scans full session history. ([#16917](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16917), [#17754](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17754))
- **TTS provider registry + Piper local TTS** — pluggable `tts.providers.<name>` registry; Piper ships as a native local TTS provider. (Closes #8508.) ([#17843](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17843), [#17885](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17885))
- **Vercel Sandbox backend** — Vercel sandboxes as an execute_code/terminal backend (@kshitijk4poor). ([#17445](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17445))
- **Secret redaction off by default** — default flipped to off. Prevents the long-standing patch-corruption incidents where fake secret-shaped substrings mangled tool outputs. Opt in via `redaction.enabled: true` when you need it. ([#16794](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16794))
- **Cold-start performance** — visible TUI cold start cut **~57%** via lazy agent init (@OutThisLife), lazy imports of OpenAI / Anthropic / Firecrawl / account_usage, mtime-cached `load_config()`, memoized `get_tool_definitions()` with TTL-cached `check_fn` results, precompiled dangerous-command patterns. ([#17190](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17190), [#17046](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17046), [#17041](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17041), [#17098](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17098), [#17206](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17206))
- **Configurable prompt cache TTL** — `prompt_caching.cache_ttl` (5m default, 1h opt-in — cost savings for bursty sessions that keep cache warm). Salvage of #12659. ([#15065](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15065))

## 🧠 Autonomous Curator & Self-Improvement Loop
### Curator — autonomous skill maintenance
- **`hermes curator` as a background agent** — runs on the gateway's cron ticker, 7-day cycle by default, umbrella-first prompt, inherits parent config, unbounded iterations ([#17277](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17277) — issue #7816)
- **Per-run reports** — `logs/curator/run.json` + `REPORT.md` per cycle ([#17307](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17307))
- **Consolidated vs pruned classification** — archived skills split with model + heuristic ([#17941](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17941))
- **`hermes curator status`** — ranks skills by usage, shows most-used and least-used ([#18033](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/18033))
- **Unified under `auxiliary.curator`** — pick the model in `hermes model`, configure from the dashboard ([#17868](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17868))
- **Documentation** — dedicated curator feature page on the docs site ([#17563](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17563))
- Fix: seed defaults on update, create `logs/curator/` directory, defer fire import ([#17927](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17927))
- Fix: scan nested archive subdirs in `restore_skill` (@0xDevNinja) ([#17951](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17951))
- Fix: use actual skill activity in curator status (@y0shua1ee) ([#17953](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17953))
- Fix: `skill_manage` refuses writes on pinned skills; pinning now blocks curator writes ([#17562](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17562), [#17578](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17578))
- Fix: `bump_use()` wired into skill invocation + preload + skill_view (salvage #17782) ([#17932](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17932))
### Self-improvement loop (background review fork)
- **Class-first skill-review prompt** — rubric-based grading rather than free-form "should this update" ([#16026](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16026))
- **Active-update bias** — prefers updating skills the agent just loaded, handles `references/` + `templates/` sub-files ([#17213](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/17213))
- **Fork inherits parent's live runtime** — provider, model, credentials actually propagate now ([#16099](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16099))
- **Scoped toolsets** — review fork restricted to memory + skills (no shell, no web) ([#16569](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16569))
- **Clean shutdown** — background review memory providers exit properly (salvage #15289) ([#16204](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/16204))
- **Clean context** — prior-history tool messages excluded from review summary (salvage #14967) ([#15057](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/15057))
---
