Does Hermes Agent work in VS Code?

Hermes Agent can be connected to ACP-enabled editors such as VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains through ACP. The direction given in the official quickstart is to install ACP extra and then run hermes acp as the editor backend.

Basic steps

1. First make sure that the normal CLI mode can be used: hermes can chat normally.
2. Installing ACP support: pip install -e '.[acp]'.
3. Run hermes acp.
4. Configure the Hermes Agent as the agent backend in an editor that supports ACP.

What scene is it suitable for

If you want Hermes to read projects, modify code, and run tests in the editor, ACP access is more natural. But if you're just experiencing it for the first time, the CLI is simpler. Run through the model, file reading, and tool calls first, and then connect to the editor.

In a word: it works, but it is recommended to run the CLI first, and then use ACP to connect to VS Code/Zed.
