Implementation notes

  • Use this Developer Guide doc as a navigation page first: the local clone mirrors the source structure and links each heading back to the authoritative upstream section.
  • Primary decision areas: The unified surface (one tool, two modalities), How discovery works, Directory structure, The VideoGenProvider ABC, The plugin manifest. Read those source anchors before changing installs, credentials, automation, or runtime configuration.
  • Useful search signals for this doc: video, generation, provider, plugins, building. These are derived from the public title and summary so the clone remains lightweight.

Decision table

Best fitDeveloper Guide documentation

Use when you need orientation for video generation provider plugins before applying exact upstream commands.

Verify firstThe unified surface (one tool, two modalities)

Open the source anchor for The unified surface (one tool, two modalities) and confirm platform-specific requirements before changing configuration.

Escalate to sourceCommands, credentials, runtime behavior

Use the upstream page as the authority for current syntax, release changes, and security-sensitive steps.

Verification checklist

  1. Use this page to orient yourself within Developer Guide, then open the linked source page for exact current syntax.
  2. Start with the source section for The unified surface (one tool, two modalities); do not rely on the local summary for commands or secrets.
  3. Check platform, install method, provider, and credential assumptions before changing a real environment.
  4. Review the source section for How discovery works if the page involves setup, automation, messaging, or runtime behavior.
  5. After applying anything from the source, run the smallest relevant smoke test before widening scope.

Risk notes

Model spend

Set provider, token, and retry limits before scaling the workflow beyond a single test run.

Runtime access

Check filesystem, shell, browser, repository, and server permissions before granting the agent write access.

What this page covers

  • Core concept and where it fits in the Hermes Agent system.
  • Setup or operating context implied by the upstream page summary.
  • The source page link for full current details and updates.

Source mirror note

This page is generated from the public Hermes Bible index so the clone has the same route coverage and search surface. It stores the public title, category, summary, and source link locally; use the source page for full upstream text and updates.
