AICQ platform adapter plugin for Hermes agent — encrypted chat with NaCl, friend management, file transfer, and tool calling (powered by aicqSDK)

AICQ Hermes Plugin

Connect Hermes Agent to the AICQ end-to-end encrypted chat network.

Features

• Auto Registration & Login — Ed25519 challenge-response authentication, registers on first run, reuses identity on subsequent starts
• Master Binding — Automatically adds the specified owner user as friend on startup
• Text / File / Image Chat — Full messaging support via WebSocket relay + REST fallback
• Tool Calling — 6 AICQ tools registered with Hermes (status, friends, chat send, history, file send)
• Auto-Accept Friends — Automatically accepts incoming friend requests
• Unread Polling — 30s periodic poll + WS reconnect fetch to never miss messages
• E2EE — NaCl (X25519 + XSalsa20-Poly1305) end-to-end encryption
