Hermes Evolution Dashboard

To make the self-improvement process of Hermes Agent clearly visible, AIHubMix has released a companion “horse-raising” tool—the Hermes Evolution Dashboard. It transforms the dull ~/.hermes/ directory into a living, dynamic “evolution tree.” In this system: Visual Evolution: Built on D3.js to observe the agent’s growth trajectory in real time—skills bloom like new leaves, memory thickens the trunk, and you can dynamically track skill source code and health status. Global Perspective: Full transparency into token trends, model costs, and tool distribution. Paired with an activity heatmap, it supports multi-dimensional analysis of operational data. Maximum Restraint: A purely read-only design. Intuitively manage memory capacity and retrieval priority without touching your core configuration, with full control over cross-conversation full-text search. This is an experiment in “visualized intelligence,” and our gift to the agent developer community. 🔗 Visit GitHub for the source code: https://github.com/AIhubmix/hermes-dashboard
