Hermes TUI (Terminal User Interface)

Hermes TUI is a redesigned terminal user interface introduced in Hermes Agent v0.11 to improve user control over long-running and complex agentic tasks^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-结构升级与实战工作流解读.md] built using React and Ink. Unlike standard chat interfaces, it is designed specifically for real-time observation, steering, and state tracking, enabling users to intervene in tasks as they execute rather than reviewing them only after completion^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].

核心特性

The v0.11 update shifted the interface focus from aesthetics to operational upgrades. Key features include:

  • Sticky Composer: The input area remains fixed and visible regardless of output length^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].
  • Real-time Status Bar: Displays contextual information such as the current Git branch and per-turn timers^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].
  • Streaming Output: Supports real-time streaming of generation results^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].
  • Sub-agent Visualization: Provides visibility into spawned child agents and their activities^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].

工作流整合：任務內決策

The TUI is a critical component for the /steer workflow, which allows for in-task correction^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].

In previous versions, if a task deviated from its goal, the user typically had to terminate and restart the process. With the Hermes TUI, users can observe the output stream, detect deviations, and inject corrective prompts to refocus the agent without losing the context or progress of the current session^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].

實作細節

The interface is constructed using the React + Ink stack^[001-TODO__Hermes_Agent_v0.11_-_结构升级与实战工作流解读.md].
