This wraps NousResearch's Hermes Agent so you can call it from Claude via shell commands. You get self-improving skills that learn from tasks, persistent memory with full-text search, and the ability to delegate work to sub-agents that run in isolation. The v2.0 install script is genuinely portable, no hardcoded paths, which matters if you're running multiple Claw instances. Use it when you need an AI agent that remembers context across sessions or when a task is complex enough to benefit from parallel sub-agents handling different pieces. The token costs add up fast on complex tasks ($0.05 to $0.50), so the ability to limit toolsets is actually useful here. Works with OpenRouter, Anthropic, or domestic providers like Zhipu.
