 "title": "Run Hermes on your Claude Pro or Max subscription",
 "page_title": "How to run Hermes on your Claude Pro or Max subscription with Hermes Official Plugins",
 "summary": "Use the experimental Claude Subscription plugin to run Hermes through the logged-in Claude Code CLI.",
 "who": "A Claude Pro or Max subscriber who wants Hermes to use that subscription instead of a separate API key and per-token bill.",
 "problem": "Paying a separate per-token API bill on top of an existing Claude subscription doubles the cost for people who already have a plan.",
 "outcome": "Hermes keeps its own loop, tools and approvals while the logged-in claude binary handles model turns.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Claude Code and log in with your Claude subscription, since the plugin drives the logged-in claude binary.",
  "Run `hermes plugins install claude-subscription-directsdk`.",
  "Run `hermes model` and pick Claude Subscription DirectSDK (Experimental).",
  "Send Hermes a short test prompt.",
  "If you see an install hint, install Claude Code and try again."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo NousResearch/hermes-official-plugins, install the claude-subscription-directsdk plugin, select it in `hermes model`, and send Hermes the prompt <test-prompt>. Expected output is a normal Hermes reply with no API key set; verify that the reply came from the plugin and not from another provider.",
