Hermes Ecosystem Projects

Use the curated selection heuristic below when the user wants a recommendation.

Deployment Templates

Repo	Stars	Forks	Updated	Value
praveen-ks-2001/hermes-agent-template	200	172	2026-06-12	Railway one-click deploy + admin dashboard. Manage config, gateway, user pairing from browser. Key envs: ADMIN_PASSWORD, HERMES_REF. Supports OpenRouter/DeepSeek/DashScope/GLM/Kimi/MiniMax/HF. Channels: TG/Discord/Slack/WhatsApp/Email/Mattermost/Matrix.
(404) jinwon-int/wiki-agent	—	—	—	Multi-node knowledge graph + agent collaboration. README unavailable. Cannot verify after 2026-06-13 check.

Ecosystem Maps & Indexes

Repo	Stars	Forks	Value
ksimback/hermes-ecosystem	1,001	81	"Hermes Atlas" — community map at hermesatlas.com. 80+ quality-filtered repos across 12 categories, live star sparklines, RAG chatbot (OpenRouter + Redis).
(unverified) Hermes Skill Registry	—	—	Supposed skill marketplace. Mentioned in @GitTrend0x tweet but no canonical repo identified.

Brain / Memory / Knowledge Graph

Repo	Stars	Forks	License	Value
garrytan/gbrain	22,464	3,227	MIT	"Opinionated brain layer." Synthesis + self-wiring knowledge graph + dream cycle. P@5 49.1%, R@5 97.9% on BrainBench (+31.4 P@5 over graph-disabled). 15 page types. MCP clients: Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / ChatGPT / Perplexity / Claude Desktop. Quick-start: gbrain init --pglite.
(mentioned) Graphiti / Mnemosyne / YantrikDB	—	—	—	Knowledge graph plugin, memory observability dashboard, enterprise vector memory backend. Mentioned in tweet, no repos verified as of 2026-06-13.

Expert Role Packs

Repo	Stars	Forks	License	Value
jnMetaCode/agency-agents-zh	14,729	2,579	MIT	215 plug-and-play AI expert roles. 165 translated + 50 China-market original. 18 departments. 17 tools including Hermes Agent. Install: ./scripts/install.sh --tool hermes. Works with agency-orchestrator for DAG multi-agent execution.

Pitfalls

• Twitter/X social posts frequently truncate project names and omit the actual repo link. Always resolve claims back to the canonical repo via gh repo view.
• jinwon-int/wiki-agent returned 404 in 2026-06-13 check; a link/tweet mentioning it is stale until a real repo exists.
• "Official" sounding tooling like Hermes Skill Registry may not yet have a public repository — treat tweets as leads, not sources of truth.
• GBrain claims strong metrics; only adopt after validating it against actual Hermes tool integration, not brand endorsements alone.
• GBrain's CLI requires bun runtime. If bun is unavailable, the GBrain CLI path is blocked; fall back to cloning the repo for study only. The full-install path needs gbrain init --pglite or Docker.
• agency-agents-zh/scripts/convert.sh writes Hermes-formatted skills into integrations/hermes/ but does not copy them to ~/.hermes/skills/. You still need install.sh --tool hermes to make them active.

Curated Selection Heuristic

For direct Hermes carryover value:

1. GBrain — production-grade brain layer with published metrics, fastest path to durable Hermes memory.
2. Agency Agents ZH — immediate expert roster expansion, especially valuable for China-focused workflows.

• Hermes Atlas — ecosystem discovery surface when choosing future integrations. Prefer direct browsing of the cloned repo's data/repos.json over the live site when offline or API-constrained.

4. hermes-agent-template — only if Railway one-click deploy is the actual deployment target; otherwise a side project.
