Needs You

Hermes is waiting. One page for everything that needs you.

A Hermes Desktop plugin: the pending approval queue as a full page — not a chip that only blinks, not a tray you forget. Leave the chat. When the agent hits a dangerous command, it lands here. Approve once, allow for the session, deny, or jump back to the session.

Repo: https://github.com/aydnOktay/hermes-needs-you

Disclosure — stores redacted command previews and approval metadata under $HERMES_HOME/plugin-data/needs-you/. Nothing leaves the machine. No API keys.

What you get


Full page Sidebar Needs You, palette-friendly route `/needs-you`.	Status chip `needs you N` — click opens the page.
Live queue Hooks catch `pre_approval_request` / `post_approval_response`.	Decide here `approval.respond` via the gateway when possible.
Notify Optional chime + OS notify when a new item arrives.	Safe storage Secrets scrubbed before write; previews truncated.

Install

hermes plugins install https://github.com/aydnOktay/hermes-needs-you.git
hermes plugins enable needs-you

Copy the Desktop package (Hermes 0.21 may skip it):

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\hermes\desktop-plugins\needs-you" | Out-Null
Copy-Item "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\hermes\plugins\needs-you\desktop\plugin.js" "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\hermes\desktop-plugins\needs-you\plugin.js" -Force

Restart Hermes Desktop. Open Needs You in the sidebar.

Use

Trigger any approval (dangerous shell / code).
Chip shows needs you 1 — open the page.
Approve once / Allow session / Deny, or Open session.
Slash: /needs, /needs clear, /needs help

Tools: needs_you_list, needs_you_clear (local queue only — clear does not deny a live approval).

v1 rules

Unique modules (needs_store / needs_hooks / …)
Observer hooks only enqueue/resolve local state; consent is via gateway RPC
Redacted previews only — never persist raw secrets on purpose
Full page (ROUTES_AREA) + sidebar + status chip

Not this

Not a Done Bell replacement (turn-finished chime) — complementary
Not a Resetwatch / quota page
Not an agent tool that auto-approves
