Discovering plugins — the Hermes plugin catalog
hermes plugins search <term> searches the Hermes plugin catalog - the curated, SHA-pinned catalog maintained in the hermes-agent repository ( plugin-catalog/ ). Matching covers entry names, descriptions, and declared tools: Once you've found a plugin, install it by bare name - the name resolves to the entry's repository at its pinned commit SHA , and catalog provenance is recorded so hermes plugins update can re-pin when the catalog moves: Explicit owner/repo or Git-URL identifiers never touch the catalog and are flagged as custom (unreviewed) sources. An explicit --ref <40-char commit SHA> pins a custom install. See Plugin Catalog for the full trust model, admission CI, and submission workflow. Cataloged ≠ audited A catalog entry means the entry's metadata and declared capabilities were reviewed at admission - it is not a code audit . Installing still goes through the normal consent flow (plugins install disabled by default, enabling is an explicit step, and tool-override rights require a separate grant). Review a plugin's source before enabling it.
