herdr-auto-title

Auto-title herdr tabs from the first user message of a Hermes Agent session.

When running Hermes inside a herdr-managed pane, this plugin sets the tab label to the first ~40 characters of your first message — so tabs are named by what you're working on, not just numbered.

How it works

• On post_llm_call (first turn only), takes the first line of user_message, truncates to 40 chars, and sends a tab.rename request to the herdr Unix socket.
• On on_session_start, resets state so each new session gets a fresh title.
• Uses HERDR_TAB_ID and HERDR_SOCKET_PATH env vars (set by herdr when launching a pane).

Install

mkdir -p ~/.hermes/plugins/herdr-auto-title
cd ~/.hermes/plugins/herdr-auto-title
# Download plugin.yaml and __init__.py from this repo

Then enable it in your Hermes config (~/.hermes/config.yaml):

plugins:
  enabled:
    - herdr-agent-state
    - herdr-auto-title

Note: plugins.enabled must be a YAML list, not a comma-separated string. If hermes config set writes it as a string, edit config.yaml directly.

Restart Hermes (/reset or relaunch hermes --tui) for the plugin to load.

Requirements

• Hermes Agent with plugin support
• herdr v0.7.1+
• herdr integration install hermes must be run first (sets up HERDR_ENV etc.)
