omnyx-hermes 0.1.1

Omnyx personality adaptation for Hermes desktop AI assistant

Omnyx Hermes Plugin

Personality-driven adaptation for Hermes — the self-improving AI agent from Nous Research.

✅ NO FORK REQUIRED — Uses Hermes' native MCP (Model Context Protocol) support

Installation

pip install omnyx-hermes

Quick Start (MCP Integration - Recommended)

# 1. Setup with your Omnyx dashboard API key
omnyx-hermes setup --api-key omx_your_key_here

# 2. Configure Hermes MCP (adds to ~/.hermes/config.yaml)
omnyx-hermes setup-hermes

# 3. Restart Hermes — Omnyx tools auto-discover
hermes

# 4. In Hermes chat, try: @omnyx get_profile

Alternative: Bridge Mode (Legacy)

For proxy/WebSocket integration (requires Hermes configuration):

omnyx-hermes setup --api-key omx_your_key_here
omnyx-hermes run  # Start bridge service

How It Works

Hermes is a desktop AI assistant that integrates with your OS (file system, applications, browser). Unlike Codex (terminal) or Devin (autonomous), Hermes is:

• Always available — hotkey-activated from anywhere
• Context-aware — sees your screen, knows your open files
• Conversational — ongoing chat history, not one-off commands

Omnyx Hermes adapts the assistant's personality and interaction style:

Trait	Adaptation
High Conscientiousness →	Structured responses, step-by-step plans, checklist format
Low Conscientiousness →	Free-form, brainstorming mode, "here are some ideas"
High Openness →	Creative suggestions, "what if we tried...", novel approaches
Low Openness →	Practical, proven solutions, conservative recommendations
High Extraversion →	Warm, enthusiastic, proactive suggestions, explains reasoning
Low Extraversion →	Direct, minimal pleasantries, gets to the point
High Agreeableness →	Collaborative tone, asks clarifying questions, checks understanding
Low Agreeableness →	Challenger mode, points out flaws, debate-style
High Neuroticism →	Cautious warnings, multiple fallback options, risk highlighting
Low Neuroticism →	Confident recommendations, assumes success, optimistic framing

Commands

omnyx-hermes setup              # Configure API key and preferences
omnyx-hermes start             # Start background bridge service
omnyx-hermes stop              # Stop the bridge service
omnyx-hermes status            # Show connection and profile
omnyx-hermes run               # Run bridge in foreground (debug mode)
omnyx-hermes config            # View/change settings
omnyx-hermes test "prompt"     # Test adaptation on a sample prompt
omnyx-hermes suggest           # Review pending personalization suggestions
omnyx-hermes forget            # Clear all local data

Architecture

MCP Mode (Recommended — No Fork)

┌─────────────┐ MCP   ┌──────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐
│   Hermes    │──────▶│  omnyx-hermes    │────▶│  Omnyx Backend  │
│   Agent     │◄──────│   MCP Server     │◄────│  (/api/agentic) │
│             │stdio   │  (stdio/HTTP)    │     │                 │
└─────────────┘       └──────────────────┘     └─────────────────┘

Hermes calls tools:
• omnyx_get_profile → Returns personality profile
• omnyx_adapt_prompt → Returns adapted prompt with context
• omnyx_get_context → Returns system prompt addition

The MCP server:

1. Runs as stdio server (managed by Hermes)
2. Exposes tools Hermes can call
3. Gets adaptation from Omnyx backend
4. Returns formatted results to Hermes

Bridge Mode (Alternative)

WebSocket/HTTP proxy for scenarios where MCP isn't available:

omnyx-hermes run  # Starts WebSocket on localhost:8765

MCP Tools

Once connected, Hermes can call these tools:

Tool	Purpose
omnyx_get_profile	Get personality profile and confidence
omnyx_adapt_prompt	Get personality-adapted prompt
omnyx_get_context	Get system prompt context
omnyx_get_suggestions	Check for pending suggestions
omnyx_accept_suggestion	Accept a suggestion

Configuration

Hermes MCP config is auto-installed by setup-hermes, or manually:

# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
mcp_servers:
  omnyx:
    command: "omnyx-hermes"
    args: ["mcp"]
    env:
      OMNYX_API_KEY: "omx_your_key_here"
    enabled: true

Privacy Modes

• raw_prompts (default): Full prompt context for best adaptation
• summaries_only: Send conversation summaries, not full history
• paused: No data transmission, Hermes runs normally

Configure: omnyx-hermes config --privacy-mode summaries_only

Context Awareness

Hermes can share context with Omnyx:

• Active application (Chrome, VS Code, etc.)
• Selected text or file path
• Time of day (morning focus vs evening wind-down)

This enables situationally-aware adaptation:

• High C user + morning + coding task → "Let's plan your approach"
• Same user + evening + general chat → More relaxed, exploratory

Suggestion System

After 20-30 interactions with >70% confidence, Omnyx may suggest:

"You often ask for code explanations after receiving solutions. Would you like me to proactively include brief explanations with all code responses?"

Suggestions appear in the dashboard and can be accepted/dismissed. Accepted suggestions become part of the adaptation profile.
