About Hermes Workspace
Hermes Workspace is a free, open-source web workspace designed to serve as the command center for AI agents. It connects to any OpenAI-compatible backend and unlocks enhanced features — sessions, memory, skills, and jobs — when paired with the Hermes gateway. Built with TypeScript and React, it ships as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with full mobile support and an 8-theme system.
- Hermes Agent Integration — Connect directly to the Hermes gateway via real-time SSE streaming for live agent output and tool call rendering.
- Memory Browser — Browse, search, and edit agent memory files with markdown preview and live editing.
- Skills Registry — Explore and manage 2,000+ skills from the registry, with per-session skill management.
- File Manager — Navigate workspace directories, preview and edit files using a Monaco editor integration.
- Full PTY Terminal — Run a persistent shell session with cross-platform support directly inside the workspace.
- 8-Theme System — Choose from Official, Classic, Slate, or Mono themes, each with light and dark variants that persist across sessions.
- Security Hardened — Auth middleware on all API routes, CSP headers, path traversal prevention, rate limiting, and optional password protection.
- Mobile-First PWA — Install as a native-feeling app on iOS, Android, or desktop; access remotely via Tailscale with no port forwarding.
- Local Model Support — Works with Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, Atomic Chat, llama.cpp, and any OpenAI-compatible server.
- Docker Quickstart — Run both the Hermes Agent gateway and Hermes Workspace together with a single
docker compose upcommand.
To get started, clone the repository, run pnpm install, configure your .env with a backend URL, and launch with pnpm dev. The workspace auto-detects gateway capabilities and enables advanced features automatically.
