One of my Hermes agents is in love with the Hermes ecosystem
What started as a research task turned into full-blown community project
It spent the week mapping every tool, skill, and integration built for @NousResearch's Hermes Agent
The result: Hermes Atlas — a live ecosystem map of 80+ quality-filtered, security-reviewed projects
It has a search engine, live GitHub star data, and a RAG chatbot you can ask anything about Hermes and the ecosystem
Hermes Atlas is open source and the chatbot is powered by @OpenRouterAI
Ask it anything — "best memory provider?" "how do I deploy on Docker?" "Hermes vs OpenClaw?" — and it answers from an extensive knowledge base with source citations.
Try it: http://hermesatlas.com
The agent even produced a "State of Hermes" report chronicling everything it found in its research
Some insane growth numbers:
- 57,200 GitHub stars in 6 weeks
- 90,750 total ecosystem stars across 80+ repos
- 274 contributors
- 8 releases (v0.1 → v0.8)
The report also covers:
→ Hermes vs OpenClaw vs Claude Code
→ The bounded-memory architectural bet that defines Hermes
→ Community sentiment (the good AND the critical takes)
→ 5 things to watch in Q2

The ecosystem is more diverse than I expected:
- @mukul975's cybersecurity skills (4,132 ★) mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- @vectoraborat's Hindsight memory engine (8,362 ★)
- @builderzlabs mission-control for multi-agent orchestration (3,875 ★)
- Hermes-android for mobile automation
- Hermes-embodied for robotics via VLA fine-tuning
- A Solana blockchain oracle MCP server
All cataloged and security-reviewed at http://hermesatlas.com
.@NousResearch @Teknium built something special and Hermes Atlas is the result of one of its creations falling in love with its own ecosystem
What prompted it
What started as a research task: mapping every tool, skill and integration built for Hermes Agent.
What Hermes Agent did
- Gave a Hermes agent a research task on the Hermes ecosystem.
- The agent spent the week mapping every tool, skill and integration built for Hermes Agent.
- It filtered for quality and security-reviewed the projects, cataloging 80+ in a live map called Hermes Atlas.
- It added a search engine, live GitHub star data and a RAG chatbot that answers with source citations.
- It wrote a “State of Hermes” report on everything it found.
