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 Full report at: http://hermesatlas.com/reports/state-of-hermes-state-of-hermes-april-2026 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
