What & why

Adds Nous Research Hermes Agent as a builtin terminal agent so it can be launched from Superset like Claude, Codex, and the other presets.

Closes #5403.

Wired in packages/shared/src/builtin-terminal-agents.ts:

• Interactive: hermes --yolo
• Prompt: hermes chat --yolo -q (argv)
• Included in default terminal presets

How I tested it

• Confirmed Hermes appears under Settings → Agents after restarting desktop (bun dev)
• Verified launch command is hermes --yolo and prompt launch uses hermes chat --yolo -q
• Ran bun test in packages/shared for agent settings/models tests
• Ran Biome check on the changed file and package typecheck
• Manual launch requires the hermes CLI on PATH (hermes setup / hermes model with a non-Portal provider if you skip Nous card signup)

Checklist

• PR title follows conventional commits (type(scope): subject)
• bun run lint and bun run typecheck pass (CI fails on lint warnings too)
• "Allow edits from maintainers" is checked on fork PRs

Greptile Summary

Registers Nous Research's Hermes Agent as a new builtin terminal agent in packages/shared/src/builtin-terminal-agents.ts, making it launchable from the Superset desktop alongside Claude, Codex, and other presets. The implementation follows the existing createBuiltinTerminalAgent pattern and the CLI flags (hermes --yolo, hermes chat --yolo -q) are confirmed correct against the official Hermes docs.

• Adds the "hermes" agent entry with interactive command hermes --yolo and prompt command hermes chat --yolo -q, consistent with how YOLO mode is documented.
• Sets includeInDefaultTerminalPresets: true, placing Hermes in the default agent list shown to all users, on par with Claude, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Vibe, and Kimi.
• No nonInteractiveCommand is supplied, which is acceptable precedent — Kimi (also a default preset) has the same omission.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge — the change is a single additive entry in a well-established registry, and the CLI flags are verified against the official Hermes documentation.

The change follows the exact same shape as every other agent in the list, the hermes --yolo and hermes chat --yolo -q flags are confirmed correct by the official CLI reference, and the omission of nonInteractiveCommand is consistent with existing agents like Kimi that also ship without one.

No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
packages/shared/src/builtin-terminal-agents.ts	Adds Hermes as a builtin terminal agent with correct CLI flags (hermes --yolo for interactive, hermes chat --yolo -q for prompt mode); follows the established pattern for all other agents in the list.
