You just want to chat with Claude, not have it build things for you.
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.
why it matters · superpowers
Superpowers turns Claude Code from a chat loop into a disciplined builder. Install it once and every new project gets the same baseline: brainstorm before code, write a plan before touching files, verify it works before claiming done. We run this on every agent in our stack. It's the reason sessions stay on track for hours of autonomous work instead of going off the rails. If you install ONE thing from the Armory, make it this one.
