A terminal dashboard that watches an agent think — its memory, its mistakes, its growth over time. Built for [Hermes](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes), the AI assistant with persistent memory.\n\nPart neofetch, part flight recorder, part existential crisis rendered in Unicode.\n\n---\n\n## What It Does\n\nHermes 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.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"assets/dashboard.png\" alt=\"Hermes HUD — Dashboard Tab\" width=\"700\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Features\n\n- **Interactive TUI** — Full Textual dashboard with 7 tabs, keyboard navigation, and 4 color themes\n- **Themed Boot Screen** — Gradient ANSI art intro with personality\n- **Growth Tracking** — Snapshot diffs show what changed since yesterday: new skills, sessions, corrections\n- **Memory Introspection** — Every memory entry, color-coded by type, corrections highlighted\n- **Skill Library** — Browse all skills across categories with modification timestamps\n- **Session Analytics** — Daily activity charts, platform breakdown, tool usage rankings\n- **Cron Monitor** — Scheduled jobs and their execution history\n- **Project Tracker** — Git repos the agent works on, languages detected, uncommitted changes\n- **Health Checks** — API keys, running services, gateway status at a glance\n- **Corrections Log** — Every mistake the agent made and what it learned from it\n\n---\n\n## Themes\n\nThe TUI ships with four color themes, selectable from the command palette (`ctrl+p`):\n\n- **Neural Awakening** — Blues and cyans on deep black. The default.\n- **Blade Runner** — Amber and neon pink. Warm, dystopian.\n- **fsociety** — Terminal green on void black. Minimal.\n- **Digital Soul** — Purple and pink gradients. Neon accents.\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/joeynyc/hermes-hud.git\ncd hermes-hud\npython3.11 -m venv venv\nsource venv/bin/activate\npip install -e .\n```\n\nThis creates an isolated environment, installs dependencies, and registers the `hermes-hud` command.\n\n\u003e **Python version note:** Hermes HUD requires Python 3.11+. On systems where `python3` still points to Python 3.10 (common on Ubuntu 22.04), `python3 -m venv venv` creates a 3.10 environment and `pip install -e .` will fail with `requires a different Python: 3.10.x not in '\u003e=3.11'`. Use `python3.11` or any other 3.11+ interpreter available on your system when creating the venv.\n\nFor neofetch ASCII art themes, install with extras:\n\n```bash\npip install -e \".[neofetch]\"\n```\n\n\u003e **Note:** On newer Linux distros (Ubuntu 23.04+, Fedora), pip blocks global installs by default. The venv avoids that entirely.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.11+\n- [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes) with data at `~/.hermes/`\n\nWithout Hermes data, the HUD runs but panels will be empty. It's a mirror — it needs something to reflect. If `~/.hermes/` doesn't exist, the HUD prints a clear message explaining what's needed before launching.\n\n### Configuration\n\nHermes HUD works out of the box with zero config. For non-standard setups:\n\n| Environment Variable | Default | Description |\n|---------------------|---------|-------------|\n| `HERMES_HOME` | `~/.hermes` | Agent data directory |\n| `HERMES_HUD_PROJECTS_DIR` | `~/projects` | Directory to scan for git repos |\n| `HERMES_HUD_NOBOOT` | _(unset)_ | Skip boot animation in TUI |\n\n### Platform Support\n\nWorks on **macOS** and **Linux**. The core dashboard (memory, skills, sessions, projects, cron, corrections) is fully cross-platform. The Health and Agents tabs use process inspection that's richest on Linux — on macOS, some service checks will show as unavailable but nothing breaks.\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nhermes-hud              # Interactive TUI\nhermes-hud --text       # Text summary to stdout\nhermes-hud --snapshot   # Save a snapshot for diff tracking\nhermes-hud --ai         # AI awakening neofetch\nhermes-hud --br         # Blade Runner neofetch\nhermes-hud --fsociety   # Mr. Robot neofetch\nhermes-hud --anime      # Mewtwo ASCII art neofetch\nhermes-hud --help       # Show all options\n```\n\n### Keyboard Shortcuts (TUI)\n\n| Key | Action |\n|-----|--------|\n| `1`-`7` | Switch tabs |\n| `j` / `k` | Scroll down / up |\n| `g` / `G` | Jump to top / bottom |\n| `r` | Refresh data |\n| `q` | Quit |\n\n---\n\n## Architecture\n\n```\nhermes_hud/\n├── hud.py           — Textual App + CLI entry point\n├── collect.py       — Orchestrates all collectors into HUDState\n├── models.py        — Typed dataclasses for all state\n├── snapshot.py      — Snapshot/diff tracking\n├── collectors/      — One module per data source\n│   └── utils.py     — Centralized path resolution (HERMES_HOME, etc.)\n└── widgets/         — One Textual panel per tab\n```\n\n**Data flow:** `collectors/ → collect.py → models.py → widgets/ → hud.py`\n\n**Collectors** read from the Hermes data directory:\n\n| Module | Data Source |\n|--------|------------|\n| `memory.py` | Memory entries (user profile + agent notes) |\n| `skills.py` | Skill library with categories and metadata |\n| `sessions.py` | Conversation history, message counts, tool usage |\n| `config.py` | Agent configuration, model, provider |\n| `cron.py` | Scheduled jobs and execution logs |\n| `projects.py` | Git repositories and working state |\n| `health.py` | API keys, running services, gateway status |\n| `corrections.py` | Mistakes and lessons learned |\n| `agents.py` | Active sub-agent processes |\n| `timeline.py` | Key moments in the agent's history |\n\nAll path resolution flows through `collectors/utils.py`, which checks `HERMES_HOME` / `HERMES_HUD_PROJECTS_DIR` environment variables before falling back to defaults.\n\n---\n\n## TUI Tabs\n\n| # | Tab | What It Shows |\n|---|-----|--------------|\n| 1 | Overview | Boot animation + neofetch-style agent summary |\n| 2 | Dashboard | Memory gauges, skill counts, session stats, growth delta |\n| 3 | Cron Jobs | Scheduled tasks, last run times, next execution |\n| 4 | Projects | Git repos, languages, uncommitted changes |\n| 5 | Health | API key status, service health, gateway uptime |\n| 6 | Corrections | Mistakes made, lessons learned, severity levels |\n| 7 | Agents | Active sub-agent processes and their status |\n\n---\n\n## Testing\n\n```bash\npip install pytest\npytest tests/ -v\n```\n\n79 tests covering imports, environment variable handling, every collector, the full data pipeline, snapshot lifecycle, app instantiation, and CLI flags.\n\n---\n\n## Changelog\n\nSee [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for version history and release notes.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/joeynyc/hermes-hud.git\ncd hermes-hud\npython3.11 -m venv venv\nsource venv/bin/activate\nmake dev        # Install in editable mode with all extras\npytest tests/   # Run tests before submitting\n```\n\nIf `python3.11` is not the right binary on your system, use any Python 3.11+ interpreter you have available instead.\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n\n---\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eI do not forget.
