Hermes Agent adds live todo lists
Hermes Agent now exposes a live `todo` list so the agent can track and update tasks as it works. It’s a small UX feature, but it makes the self-improving agent feel more stateful and easier to supervise.
// ANALYSIS
This is the kind of boring plumbing that matters: explicit task state is what turns a chatty agent into something closer to a usable workflow engine.
- –The `todo` list gives Hermes a visible planning layer, which helps both users and the model stay aligned on what’s next.
- –For long-running tasks, a live checklist reduces drift and makes it easier to recover when the agent gets interrupted.
- –It fits Hermes’s broader pitch: persistent memory, skills, delegation, and now task tracking, all in one open-source agent stack.
- –The update is incremental, not flashy, but agent products usually win on these operational details rather than model hype.
