# Plugins
Hermes has a plugin system for adding custom tools, hooks, slash commands, and integrations without modifying core code.

## Slash commands
Plugins can register slash commands that work in both CLI and messaging platforms:
```python
def register(ctx):
ctx.register_command(
name="greet",
handler=lambda args: f"Hello, {args or 'world'}!",
description="Greet someone",
args_hint="[name]",
aliases=("hi",),
)
```
The handler receives the argument string (everything after `/greet`) and returns a string to display. Registered commands automatically appear in `/help`, tab autocomplete, Telegram bot menu, and Slack subcommand mapping.
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `name` | Command name without slash |
| `handler` | Callable that takes `args: str` and returns `str | None` |
| `description` | Shown in `/help` |
| `args_hint` | Usage hint, e.g. `"[name]"` |
| `aliases` | Tuple of alternative names |
| `cli_only` | Only available in CLI |
| `gateway_only` | Only available in messaging platforms |
| `gateway_config_gate` | Config dotpath (e.g. `"display.my_option"`). When set on a `cli_only` command, the command becomes available in the gateway if the config value is truthy. |

In a running session, `/plugins` shows which plugins are currently loaded.
## Injecting Messages
Plugins can inject messages into the active conversation using `ctx.inject_message()`:
```python
ctx.inject_message("New data arrived from the webhook", role="user")
```
**Signature:** `ctx.inject_message(content: str, role: str = "user") -> bool`
How it works:
- If the agent is **idle** (waiting for user input), the message is queued as the next input and starts a new turn.
- If the agent is **mid-turn** (actively running), the message interrupts the current operation — the same as a user typing a new message and pressing Enter.
- For non-`"user"` roles, the content is prefixed with `[role]` (e.g. `[system] ...`).
- Returns `True` if the message was queued successfully, `False` if no CLI reference is available (e.g. in gateway mode).
This enables plugins like remote control viewers, messaging bridges, or webhook receivers to feed messages into the conversation from external sources.
:::note
`inject_message` is only available in CLI mode. In gateway mode, there is no CLI reference and the method returns `False`.
