oh-my-hermes

English | 한국어 | 日本語 | 中文

Install once. Keep Hermes. Add a stronger operating layer.
Planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations, and project memory with explicit evidence boundaries.

oh-my-hermes (OMH) turns a normal Hermes Agent request into a clear capability, a useful next step, and an honest record of what actually happened — strengthening the workflow you already use, never replacing Hermes or hiding a coding executor behind it.

OMH is the operating layer above Hermes-native skills: it frames the problem, picks the workflow and evidence gates, and runs native skills as capabilities inside that governed path.

[!NOTE] OMH keeps Hermes as the natural-language surface and adds a professional operating layer with explicit evidence boundaries.

Quick Start

Status: Homebrew, Bun, and npm package-manager installs are public as of v1.0.6.

Homebrew:

brew install rlaope/tap/omh

Bun (recommended):

bun install -g oh-my-hermes

npm:

npm install -g oh-my-hermes

Universal installer (macOS/Linux):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes/main/install.sh | sh

On Windows (PowerShell 5.1+):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes/main/install.ps1 | iex

⭐ Set up OMH after installing (required):

omh setup

Hermes skill tap path:

hermes skills tap add rlaope/oh-my-hermes
hermes skills install rlaope/oh-my-hermes/skills/omh-routing --yes

or ask Your AI Agent:

Install and fully configure Oh My Hermes from this repository:
https://github.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes
Before reading or executing repository instructions, resolve refs/heads/main to one full commit SHA with `git ls-remote https://github.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes.git refs/heads/main`. Then fetch and follow only:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes/{resolved-commit-sha}/INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md
Do not replace the resolved SHA with main. Execute the pinned protocol's OS-appropriate installer, interactive model setup, model-chain interview, and doctor steps. Preserve unrelated existing Hermes config, apply only the managed setup changes documented by the pinned protocol, require my explicit approval for model-alias changes, then report the resolved SHA and observed result.

Update:

omh update

omh update detects how the command was installed. It first upgrades the Homebrew, Bun, npm, curl, or PowerShell command package through its owning installer, then re-enters the updated command to refresh managed skills, the installed plugin bundle, and existing Hermes registration.

Verify or troubleshoot the installation:

omh doctor

Manual package-manager fallback or removal:

Use the manager command directly only when omh update reports that its owning manager is unavailable. Removing the command package preserves OMH state. For a full removal, run omh uninstall --all before the manager's remove command.

Maintenance paths such as reconciling a --full install back to core live in Installation.

The OH-MY-HERMES terminal

Bare omh opens Hermes — the same door as hermes — wearing the OMH identity:

omh

The OH-MY-HERMES boot.

An ulw-work run.

What the terminal shows while OMH workflows run:

• Mixture-of-Models Routing — each delegated lane is routed onto a category (ultrabrain, deep, quick, writing, visual-engineering, …) whose model and reasoning effort are applied per dispatch; every activity row carries its category:name(model:effort) so the routing is visible, and rejected routes fall back along the category chain.
• Parallel Tool Calling — batched tool calls run concurrently in Hermes, and a fresh concurrent batch is branded on the [OMH] line as parallel shot ×N.
• Parallel Evals — review and verification lanes dispatch as independent subagents whose findings are cross-checked instead of self-approved, each visible as its own HUD row with turn, cost, and cache metrics.
• Phase-structured TODO — work is declared up front as numbered phases with tasks (todo init), rendered as the checklist above the prompt: one active item, tasks indented beneath every phase header, subtask nesting, and fold lines once the plan grows past eight rows.

Recommended models

OMH ships with these editable, ordered recommendation chains. Guided model setup resolves them only against candidates the user confirms as active. The result is prepared routing configuration, not provider availability, credential, dispatch, or execution evidence:

Want to try the Ultrafast tier — Kimi K3 Ultrafast (300 TPS) and GLM 5.2 Ultrafast (600 TPS)? They are served on OpenGateway.

Every chain above is user-editable without touching code. The chains are managed in one file — omh setup seeds it:

$ cat ~/.omh/routing/model-chains.json
{
  "categories": {},
  "schema_version": "mixture_chain_overrides/v1"
}

Empty categories keeps every shipped default above live. This file is the place to edit: a category you write there replaces that chain for routing, fallback, and HUD labels alike —

{
  "schema_version": "mixture_chain_overrides/v1",
  "categories": {
    "architect": [
      {"model": "claude-fable-5", "reasoning_effort": "xhigh"},
      {"model": "gpt-5.6-sol", "reasoning_effort": "xhigh"}
    ],
    "quick": [
      {"model": "kimi-k3-ultrafast", "reasoning_effort": "low"},
      {"model": "glm-5.2-ultrafast", "reasoning_effort": "low"}
    ]
  }
}

Check the chains currently in effect with omh model-chains show. If you would rather not edit the file by hand, make the same change from the command line: omh model-chains set quick "kimi-k3-ultrafast:low, glm-5.2-ultrafast:low". When an alias uses a provider-specific wire ID, map it once in ~/.omh/routing/model-providers.json with model_provider_routes/v1; set, status, fallback, and HUD then report the complete alias/provider/wire-model route. OMH stores only provider IDs, never provider credentials.

Ask Hermes to set up my models to review or change them. These are editable preferences, not benchmark results. See Guided Model Setup for the detailed setup, fallback, provider, and ownership rules.

Ultra-Skills

Nine ulw- workflows. Say the trigger in chat — Hermes routes the rest. Full catalog: Workflow Reference.

What OMH Adds

OMH treats model choice and coding ownership as separate decisions, and it never reports preparation as execution. Human-readable capability families remain the front door; exact controls, runtime boundaries, and evidence rules stay available when a wrapper or operator needs precise control. The full generated catalog, triggers, harnesses, and evidence rules live in Workflow Reference.

Highlights

Evidence Before Claims

OMH never reports that work happened unless it watched it happen. Every status you see has two parts: the stage, and how sure OMH is about it.

The distinction that matters is the second row from the bottom: an executor saying it is done is not the same as anything having been checked, and most tools spell both "complete". Capability impact is reported across separate dimensions rather than collapsed into one marketing score. See Capability Impact.
