First migration of an existing built-in platform adapter to the plugin system established by IRC / Teams / LINE / Google Chat. Closes #24325; advances the umbrella refactor in #3823. Matches Teams' shape exactly — adapter under ``plugins/platforms/discord/`` with the standard ``__init__.py`` / ``adapter.py`` / ``plugin.yaml`` shell, ``register(ctx)`` entry point, **no back-compat shim** at the old import path, and full parity for the four hooks Teams uses plus the ``apply_yaml_config_fn`` hook that landed in #25443 (the Discord plugin is the first consumer of that hook): * ``standalone_sender_fn`` — out-of-process cron delivery via REST API * ``setup_fn`` — interactive ``hermes setup gateway`` wizard * ``apply_yaml_config_fn`` — translate ``config.yaml`` ``discord:`` keys into ``DISCORD_*`` env vars (replaces the hardcoded block in ``gateway/config.py``) * ``is_connected`` — declares connection state from ``DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN`` * ``check_fn`` — lazy-installs ``discord.py`` on demand * plus ``allowed_users_env``, ``allow_all_env``, ``cron_deliver_env_var``, ``max_message_length``, ``emoji``, ``required_env``, ``install_hint`` * ``gateway/platforms/discord.py`` (5,101 LOC) → ``plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py`` (git rename, R090). * New ``plugins/platforms/discord/{__init__.py, plugin.yaml}`` with ``requires_env`` / ``optional_env`` declarations. * Append ``register(ctx)`` block + new hook implementations (``_standalone_send``, ``interactive_setup``, ``_apply_yaml_config``, ``_clean_discord_user_ids``, ``_is_connected``, ``_build_adapter``, plus helpers ``_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE`` etc.) to the adapter. * Replace the ``Platform.DISCORD elif`` branch in ``GatewayRunner._create_adapter()`` (−9 LOC) with a generic post-creation hook (+6 LOC) in the registry path: any plugin adapter that declares a ``gateway_runner`` attribute now gets it auto-injected. Webhook's built-in branch is unchanged (it doesn't go through the registry path). * Move ``_send_discord`` (190 LOC) and helpers (``_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE``, ``_remember_channel_is_forum``, ``_probe_is_forum_cached``, ``_derive_forum_thread_name``) from ``tools/send_message_tool.py`` into the plugin as ``_standalone_send``. * Wire via ``standalone_sender_fn=_standalone_send`` (Teams pattern; same gap fixed in #21804 for other plugin platforms). * Replace the Discord ``elif`` in ``tools/send_message_tool.py`` ``_send_to_platform`` with a 10-line registry-hook dispatch. * Drop the ``DiscordAdapter`` import and the ``Platform.DISCORD: DiscordAdapter.MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH`` ``_MAX_LENGTHS`` entry — the registry's ``max_message_length=2000`` covers it. * Move ``_setup_discord`` and ``_clean_discord_user_ids`` (68 LOC) from ``hermes_cli/setup.py`` into the plugin as ``interactive_setup``. * Wire via ``setup_fn=interactive_setup``. CLI helpers (``prompt``, ``print_info``, etc.) are lazy-imported so the plugin's module-load surface stays minimal. * Remove ``"discord": _s._setup_discord`` from ``hermes_cli/gateway.py::_builtin_setup_fn``. * Remove the entire 32-line ``_PLATFORMS["discord"]`` static dict entry — Discord's setup metadata is now discovered dynamically via ``_all_platforms()`` from the registry entry. * Move the 59-line ``discord_cfg`` YAML→env bridge from ``gateway/config.py::load_gateway_config()`` into the plugin as ``_apply_yaml_config``. Covers ``require_mention``, ``thread_require_mention``, ``free_response_channels``, ``auto_thread``, ``reactions``, ``ignored_channels``, ``allowed_channels``, ``no_thread_channels``, ``allow_mentions.{everyone,roles,users, replied_user}``, and ``reply_to_mode`` (including the YAML 1.1 ``off``-as-False coercion and the ``extra.reply_to_mode`` fallback). * Wire via ``apply_yaml_config_fn=_apply_yaml_config``. * The hook runs BEFORE ``_apply_env_overrides`` and after the generic shared-key loop, exactly as documented in ``website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md``. * Behavior is preserved exactly — every assignment still uses ``not os.getenv(...)`` guards so env vars take precedence over YAML. All 78 references to the old import path are rewritten — no back-compat shim: * 51 ``from gateway.platforms.discord import X`` → ``from plugins.platforms.discord.adapter import X`` * 5 ``import gateway.platforms.discord as discord_platform`` → ``import plugins.platforms.discord.adapter as discord_platform`` * 1 ``from gateway.platforms import discord as discord_mod`` → ``from plugins.platforms.discord import adapter as discord_mod`` * 21 ``mock.patch("gateway.platforms.discord.X")`` strings → ``mock.patch("plugins.platforms.discord.adapter.X")`` * 1 docstring reference in ``hermes_cli/commands.py`` * 1 import in ``tools/send_message_tool.py`` (now removed entirely) The import-safety test in ``tests/gateway/test_discord_imports.py`` is updated to purge the new canonical module name from ``sys.modules``. **38 files changed, +621 / −473** — net positive due to the YAML hook implementation (89 new LOC in the plugin trading for 59 deleted in core), but every line moved has a clear plugin home now. The git rename is detected at R090 because the adapter gained ~340 LOC of moved-in hook implementations (``_standalone_send`` + ``interactive_setup`` + ``_apply_yaml_config`` + helpers). * All 568 Discord-specific tests pass across 25 ``test_discord_*.py`` files plus voice/send/text-batching/reload-skills/stream-consumer/ integration tests. * All 147 tests in the YAML-touching subset (``test_discord_reply_mode``, ``test_discord_free_response``, ``test_discord_allowed_channels``, ``test_discord_allowed_mentions``, ``test_discord_channel_controls``, ``test_discord_reactions``, ``test_discord_thread_persistence``, ``test_runtime_footer``) pass — this is the strongest signal that the YAML→env hook behaves identically to the legacy block. * Broader gateway/cron/integration sweep (1297 tests) introduces zero new failures vs ``main``. Pre-existing failures in ``tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py`` and ``tests/e2e/test_platform_commands.py`` reproduce identically on the unchanged ``main`` revision. * Plugin discovery sanity check confirms Discord registers alongside the other four platform plugins: Registered platforms: ['discord', 'google_chat', 'irc', 'line', 'teams'] These Discord-shaped tendrils in core were **deliberately not moved** — they are generic platform-registry concerns affecting every platform, not Discord-specific: * ``gateway/config.py:1205`` ``DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN → config.token`` env enablement — same shape Telegram has. The existing ``env_enablement_fn`` registry hook only seeds ``extra``, not ``.token``, so it can't replace this without an adapter refactor to read from ``extra["bot_token"]``. * ``gateway/run.py`` voice-mode hooks (``self.adapters.get(Platform.DISCORD)`` for ``start_voice_mode``/``stop_voice_mode``), role-based auth, ``DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS`` branch in ``_is_user_authorized``, ``_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS`` frozenset, and the per-platform allowlist maps — generic platform-registry concerns. * ``Platform.DISCORD`` enum literal — stable identifier used as dict keys throughout the codebase; removing it is a separate refactor with no real benefit. * ``tools/discord_tool.py`` and ``tools/environments/local.py`` — first-class agent tools and env-passthrough config, neither is the gateway adapter. Each of these is worth its own scoping issue when the time comes. |

Hermes Agent ☤
The self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research. It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.
Use any model you want — Nous Portal, OpenRouter (200+ models), NovitaAI (AI-native cloud for Model API, Agent Sandbox, and GPU Cloud), NVIDIA NIM (Nemotron), Xiaomi MiMo, z.ai/GLM, Kimi/Moonshot, MiniMax, Hugging Face, OpenAI, or your own endpoint. Switch with hermes model — no code changes, no lock-in.
| A real terminal interface | Full TUI with multiline editing, slash-command autocomplete, conversation history, interrupt-and-redirect, and streaming tool output. |
| Lives where you do | Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, and CLI — all from a single gateway process. Voice memo transcription, cross-platform conversation continuity. |
| A closed learning loop | Agent-curated memory with periodic nudges. Autonomous skill creation after complex tasks. Skills self-improve during use. FTS5 session search with LLM summarization for cross-session recall. Honcho dialectic user modeling. Compatible with the agentskills.io open standard. |
| Scheduled automations | Built-in cron scheduler with delivery to any platform. Daily reports, nightly backups, weekly audits — all in natural language, running unattended. |
| Delegates and parallelizes | Spawn isolated subagents for parallel workstreams. Write Python scripts that call tools via RPC, collapsing multi-step pipelines into zero-context-cost turns. |
| Runs anywhere, not just your laptop | Seven terminal backends — local, Docker, SSH, Singularity, Modal, Daytona, and Vercel Sandbox. Daytona and Modal offer serverless persistence — your agent's environment hibernates when idle and wakes on demand, costing nearly nothing between sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS or a GPU cluster. |
| Research-ready | Batch trajectory generation, trajectory compression for training the next generation of tool-calling models. |
Quick Install
Linux, macOS, WSL2, Termux
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
Windows (native, PowerShell) — Early Beta
Heads up: Native Windows support is early beta. It installs and runs, but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as our Linux/macOS/WSL2 paths. Please file issues when you hit rough edges. For the most battle-tested Windows setup today, run the Linux/macOS one-liner above inside WSL2.
Run this in PowerShell:
iex (irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.ps1)
The installer handles everything: uv, Python 3.11, Node.js, ripgrep, ffmpeg, and a portable Git Bash (MinGit, unpacked to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git — no admin required, completely isolated from any system Git install). Hermes uses this bundled Git Bash to run shell commands.
If you already have Git installed, the installer detects it and uses that instead. Otherwise a ~45MB MinGit download is all you need — it won't touch or interfere with any system Git.
Android / Termux: The tested manual path is documented in the Termux guide. On Termux, Hermes installs a curated
.[termux]extra because the full.[all]extra currently pulls Android-incompatible voice dependencies.Windows: Native Windows is supported as an early beta — the PowerShell one-liner above installs everything, but expect rough edges and please file issues when you hit them. If you'd rather use WSL2 (our most battle-tested Windows path), the Linux command works there too. Native Windows install lives under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes; WSL2 installs under~/.hermesas on Linux. The only Hermes feature that currently needs WSL2 specifically is the browser-based dashboard chat pane (it uses a POSIX PTY — classic CLI and gateway both run natively).
After installation:
source ~/.bashrc # reload shell (or: source ~/.zshrc)
hermes # start chatting!
Getting Started
hermes # Interactive CLI — start a conversation
hermes model # Choose your LLM provider and model
hermes tools # Configure which tools are enabled
hermes config set # Set individual config values
hermes gateway # Start the messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
hermes setup # Run the full setup wizard (configures everything at once)
hermes claw migrate # Migrate from OpenClaw (if coming from OpenClaw)
hermes update # Update to the latest version
hermes doctor # Diagnose any issues
CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference
Hermes has two entry points: start the terminal UI with hermes, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
| Action | CLI | Messaging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Start chatting | hermes |
Run hermes gateway setup + hermes gateway start, then send the bot a message |
| Start fresh conversation | /new or /reset |
/new or /reset |
| Change model | /model [provider:model] |
/model [provider:model] |
| Set a personality | /personality [name] |
/personality [name] |
| Retry or undo the last turn | /retry, /undo |
/retry, /undo |
| Compress context / check usage | /compress, /usage, /insights [--days N] |
/compress, /usage, /insights [days] |
| Browse skills | /skills or /<skill-name> |
/<skill-name> |
| Interrupt current work | Ctrl+C or send a new message |
/stop or send a new message |
| Platform-specific status | /platforms |
/status, /sethome |
For the full command lists, see the CLI guide and the Messaging Gateway guide.

Migrating from OpenClaw
If you're coming from OpenClaw, Hermes can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.
During first-time setup: The setup wizard (hermes setup) automatically detects ~/.openclaw and offers to migrate before configuration begins.
Anytime after install:
hermes claw migrate # Interactive migration (full preset)
hermes claw migrate --dry-run # Preview what would be migrated
hermes claw migrate --preset user-data # Migrate without secrets
hermes claw migrate --overwrite # Overwrite existing conflicts
What gets imported:
- SOUL.md — persona file
- Memories — MEMORY.md and USER.md entries
- Skills — user-created skills →
~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/ - Command allowlist — approval patterns
- Messaging settings — platform configs, allowed users, working directory
- API keys — allowlisted secrets (Telegram, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs)
- TTS assets — workspace audio files
- Workspace instructions — AGENTS.md (with
--workspace-target)
See hermes claw migrate --help for all options, or use the openclaw-migration skill for an interactive agent-guided migration with dry-run previews.
Contributing
We welcome contributions! See the Contributing Guide for development setup, code style, and PR process.
Quick start for contributors — clone and go with setup-hermes.sh:
git clone https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent.git
cd hermes-agent
./setup-hermes.sh # installs uv, creates venv, installs .[all], symlinks ~/.local/bin/hermes
./hermes # auto-detects the venv, no need to `source` first
Manual path (equivalent to the above):
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv venv .venv --python 3.11
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e ".[all,dev]"
scripts/run_tests.sh
