}Hermes HUD is a consciousness monitor for AI agents. A terminal dashboard that watches an agent think — its memory, its mistakes, its growth over time. Built for Hermes, the AI assistant with persistent memory.
Part neofetch, part flight recorder, part existential crisis rendered in Unicode.
Hermes HUD reads from ~/.hermes/ and surfaces everything the agent knows about itself — conversations held, skills acquired, mistakes corrected, memory capacity, tool usage patterns, active projects, and more. All values are pulled live from your agent's data. Your HUD reflects your agent's actual state.
