# 🗺️ Hermes Atlas
**The community-curated map of every tool, skill, and integration for [Hermes Agent](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com).**
🌐 **Live site:** [hermesatlas.com](https://hermesatlas.com)
---
## What is this?
Hermes Atlas is a living directory of the Hermes Agent ecosystem. Hermes Agent (the self-improving AI agent from Nous Research) launched in February 2026 and immediately spawned a fast-growing community of skills, plugins, integrations, deployment templates, and forks. This site is the canonical map of all of it.
**Features:**
- **80+ quality-filtered repos** across 12 categories — every project security-reviewed before inclusion
- **Live star counts** fetched from the GitHub API and cached in Redis
- **Sparklines and trending badges** showing growth over time
- **RAG-powered chatbot** ("Ask the Atlas") that answers questions about Hermes Agent grounded in 27 research files
- **Search, sort, filter** across the entire ecosystem
- **Light and dark mode** with OS preference detection
- **Mobile responsive**

```
**Stack:**
- **Frontend:** Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no framework, no build step)
- **Hosting:** Vercel (static + serverless functions)
- **Cache:** Redis Cloud (1hr TTL on star counts, daily history snapshots)
- **LLM:** Nous Portal with a client-side fallback chain (GPT-6 Luna → Claude Haiku 5.5)
- **Embeddings:** OpenAI text-embedding-3-small (computed once at build time, cached as static JSON)
- **Retrieval:** Hybrid BM25 + cosine similarity, MMR re-ranking, conversation-aware query rewriting

Would you bet a product on this? Bounded 0–100 and slow moving.
