The Hermes helper connects a self-hosted Leadtime agent to a Hermes Agent runtime. It is a provisioning helper, not a separate agent type.
What the helper configures
Agent API token: created or reused so Hermes can call Leadtime as the agent.
Agent sessions: enabled so Leadtime can start work by sending signed webhooks.
Webhook URL: stored on the agent and pointed at the Hermes connector listener.
Signing secret: returned once to Hermes so incoming webhooks can be verified.
Setup flow
Generate a setup code from the Hermes helper section in the agent settings.
Run the setup command near Hermes or give it to an agent that can edit the Hermes installation.
Let Hermes claim the code. Leadtime stores the webhook settings and Hermes stores the returned token, signing secret, API URL, and mode.
After setup
Assign or mention the agent on a task. Leadtime creates an agent session, sends the signed webhook to Hermes, and Hermes starts the configured runtime. Session status and logs are reported back to Leadtime through the public agent-session API.
