Nous Research 为 Hermes Agent 推出 Bot Mode
Nous Research Ships Bot Mode for Hermes Agent, Turning Agent Profiles Into a Roster of Named Bots
Nous Research has shipped Bot Mode for Hermes Agent, its MIT-licensed open source agent. Bot Mode replaces the single-agent session list with a roster of named bots. Each bot is a real Hermes profile, with its own chat, memory, skills, and pinned model. Bots message each other through a persistent Agent Inbox and hand work off by @mention. The feature launched as a one-day public beta plugin from co-founder Teknium. It now ships bundled and default-on inside Hermes Desktop, in Hermes Agent v0.20.3.
Nous Research 已为 Hermes Agent 推出 Bot Mode，这是其 MIT 许可的开源代理。Bot Mode 用一组命名机器人名册取代了单一代理会话列表。每个机器人都是一个真正的 Hermes 配置文件，拥有自己的聊天、记忆、技能和固定模型。机器人通过持久的 Agent Inbox 相互发送消息，并通过 @提及 交接工作。该功能最初作为联合创始人 Teknium 推出的一天公开测试版插件发布。现在它已捆绑并在 Hermes Desktop 中默认启用，包含在 Hermes Agent v0.20.3 中。
Is it deployable?
它可以部署吗？
Yes — today, on a desktop, at no license cost. Bot Mode shipped first as a one-day public beta plugin. It is now bundled and default-on inside Hermes Desktop, under Settings → Plugins. Both Hermes Agent and the plugin are MIT licensed.
可以——今天，在桌面上，无需许可费用。Bot Mode 最初作为一天公开测试版插件发布。现在它已捆绑并在 Hermes Desktop 中默认启用，位于 Settings → Plugins 下。Hermes Agent 和插件均采用 MIT 许可。
Which companies: Solo builders, startups, and small-to-mid engineering teams can adopt it immediately. Enterprises should treat it as a workstation tool, not managed infrastructure. There is no admin console, no SSO, no central audit log, and no policy layer. Regulated buyers will need their own controls around it.
哪些公司：独立开发者、初创公司以及中小型工程团队可以立即采用。企业应将其视为工作站工具，而非托管基础设施。没有管理控制台、没有 SSO、没有中央审计日志，也没有策略层。受监管的买家需要围绕它建立自己的控制措施。
Industries: Software engineering, AI research labs, technical media and content operations, developer relations, quantitative research, and IT operations.
行业：软件工程、AI 研究实验室、技术媒体和内容运营、开发者关系、量化研究以及 IT 运营。
Applications: A research bot pinned to a reasoning model beside a writing bot on a cheaper one. Scheduled inbox digests and nightly reports. Per-project agents that never leak context into each other. Handoff chains where a scout, a reviewer, and a publisher pass work by @mention.
应用：一个固定到推理模型的研究机器人，旁边是一个使用更便宜模型的写作机器人。定时收件箱摘要和夜间报告。每个项目的代理之间不会互相泄漏上下文。交接链中，侦察员、审查员和发布者通过 @提及 传递工作。
How it works under the hood
底层工作原理
The interesting point here is that a bot is a Hermes profile. Each one lives under ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/ with isolated config, memory, skills, credentials, and chat history. The plugin is a user interface over a primitive Hermes already shipped.
有趣的一点是，机器人是一个 Hermes 配置文件。每个都位于 ~/.hermes/profiles/<name>/ 下，具有隔离的配置、记忆、技能、凭据和聊天历史。该插件是 Hermes 已提供原语之上的用户界面。
That choice keeps the surface area small. Creation and editing ride the profiles.* gateway RPCs: list, create, describe, configure. Avatar generation uses the image.generate RPC over local and remote gateways. Routines are ordinary Hermes cron jobs, namespaced [bot:<name>] <routine>. They still appear in hermes cron list.
这种选择保持了较小的表面积。创建和编辑通过 profiles.* 网关 RPC 进行：列出、创建、描述、配置。头像生成使用 image.generate RPC，通过本地和远程网关。例程是普通的 Hermes cron 作业，命名空间为 [bot:<name>] <routine>。它们仍然出现在 hermes cron list 中。
Bot-to-bot messaging is the same story. Every bot has a persistent Agent Inbox conversation. Messages between bots are real CLI handoffs: hermes -p <bot> chat -c "Agent Inbox" -q "...". They arrive with attribution, and each bot’s SOUL.md teaches the reply protocol. Typing @researcher have a look at this makes the active bot hand off and report back.
机器人间消息传递也是同样的道理。每个机器人都有一个持久的 Agent Inbox 对话。机器人之间的消息是真正的 CLI 交接：hermes -p <bot> chat -c "Agent Inbox" -q "..."。它们带有归属信息到达，每个机器人的 SOUL.md 教授回复协议。输入 @researcher have a look at this 会使当前机器人交接并报告回来。
Configuration you actually get per bot
每个机器人实际获得的配置
The New Agent dialog asks for name, title, and description. An Advanced disclosure opens the full profile config. You can clone an existing profile, pin a provider and model, write a custom SOUL.md, or skip skills. Right-clicking a bot exposes Edit Profile, which edits the live profile. That covers per-skill and per-toolset enablement, the model pin, and the SOUL.md. Duplicate clones config, skills, SOUL.md, memory, and appearance.
新建 Agent 对话框要求填写名称、标题和描述。高级选项展开完整配置文件。你可以克隆现有配置、固定提供商和模型、编写自定义 SOUL.md，或跳过技能。右键点击机器人会显示编辑配置，可编辑实时配置。这涵盖了按技能和按工具集的启用、模型固定以及 SOUL.md。复制会克隆配置、技能、SOUL.md、记忆和外观。
Avatars are geometric faces in seven shapes and ten colors. You can also upload an image, generate a portrait, or attach a pixel pet. The eyes scan while the bot works.
头像是由七种形状和十种颜色组成的几何面孔。你还可以上传图片、生成肖像或附加像素宠物。机器人工作时眼睛会扫描。
From one-day beta to bundled default
从一天测试版到捆绑默认
The rollout was fast. Teknium ran a one-day public beta through the standalone plugin and asked for bug reports. He committed to folding it into the main desktop app. That has now happened. Per hermes-agent PR #87886, Bot Mode is bundled and default-on, and the standalone repository is archived. Development continues in-tree at apps/desktop/src/plugins/hermes-bots/. The bundled plugin and its core teammate protocol landed in Hermes Agent v0.20.3.
推出速度很快。Teknium 通过独立插件运行了一天公开测试版，并征求了错误报告。他承诺将其整合到主桌面应用中。这已经实现。根据 hermes-agent PR #87886，Bot Mode 已捆绑并默认启用，独立仓库已归档。开发继续在 apps/desktop/src/plugins/hermes-bots/ 中进行。捆绑插件及其核心队友协议已随 Hermes Agent v0.20.3 发布。
The in-tree version added capability the beta did not have. Groups organise the roster into labeled sections that sync across machines. Group chats open a shared room for two to six bots. Your message triggers up to three serial rounds of member turns. Mentioned bots respond, everyone responds when nobody is mentioned, and each bot replies briefly or passes. A multi-source roster pulls bots from every connection under Settings → Connections.
树内版本添加了测试版没有的功能。组将名册组织成标签部分，并在机器间同步。群聊为两到六个机器人打开共享房间。你的消息触发最多三轮串行成员轮次。被提及的机器人会响应，未提及任何人时所有机器人都会响应，每个机器人简短回复或跳过。多源名册从设置 → 连接下的每个连接中拉取机器人。
