hermes-desktop-plugins — Write desktop app plugins that add UI panes and commands.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hermes Desktop Plugins Skill Write plugins for the Hermes desktop app: statusbar items, layout panes, command-palette commands, keybinds, routes, and themes. A plugin is a single plain-JavaScript ESM file the app loads at runtime — no build step, no repo changes. A plugin can also talk to its own Python backend namespace (`ctx.rest`/`ctx.socket` → `/api/plugins/<id>`); the general Python plugin system (`~/.hermes/plugins/`) is otherwise documented separately. Full human reference (every export, area payloads, backend, security): `website/docs/developer-guide/desktop-plugin-sdk.md`. ## When to Use - The user asks for a new desktop UI element (a pane, a statusbar widget, a dashboard, a command) without modifying the app itself. - You want to surface data you compute (via gateway RPC) inside the app. ## Prerequisites - The Hermes desktop app (it loads plugins; the CLI/gateway alone does not). - Write access to `$HERMES_HOME/desktop-plugins/` (usually `~/.hermes/desktop-plugins/`). ## How to Run 1. Create `$HERMES_HOME/desktop-plugins/<name>/plugin.js` from `templates/plugin.js` (relative to this skill directory) — that's …

How to install
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/hermes-desktop-plugins@sha256:79c1efd62aa0241aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
