You're happy with Claude Code and don't want a second agent running on the side.
why it matters · everything-claude-code
everything-claude-code is a ready-made pack of skills, instincts, and habits that plug into Claude Code when you install it. You get memory that survives across sessions, security sweeps built in, and a research-first habit that stops your agent from guessing when it should look things up. It works alongside Superpowers, not instead of it. If you want a second opinion on what a starter setup should feel like — or a drop-in fallback — this is the one. Also works with Codex, Cursor, and Opencode.
why it matters · hermes-agent
Hermes is a standalone agent — you install it and it runs in your terminal on its own, separate from Claude Code. It ships with memory that carries across sessions, plus 40+ tools already wired up (browser, files, scripts, SMS, Telegram). If you want an agent that lives on its own instead of riding on top of Claude Code — or you want a free backup that keeps working if Anthropic pricing shifts — install this. Open-source, updated constantly.
