README

Claude Subscription DirectSDK (Experimental) — Hermes plugin

Standalone Hermes Agent model-provider plugin: `claude-subscription-directsdk-experimental`, displayed as **Claude Subscription DirectSDK (Experimental)**. It drives the unmodified official Claude Code executable as a request-scoped model client for your Claude Pro/Max subscription. Hermes keeps its normal agent loop, tools, approvals and compaction. Despite the name, the implementation speaks native stream-json directly and does not require the Python Agent SDK package.

Requirements

Hermes Agent with the external-process provider seams from hermes-agent PR #117451 (the core half of #105863). On an older Hermes the plugin fails to load with a clear Failed to load user provider plugin warning rather than half-working.
Python 3.10+, Linux or macOS (the process-group transport is POSIX-only).
The official Claude Code CLI, installed and logged in. This plugin has no credentials of its own; everything goes through claude.

The plugin checks for `claude` at every seam and never guesses:

When	What happens without `claude`
plugin load	one warning in the log; the provider stays registered so setup can explain what is missing
`hermes model` → this provider	the flow stops with the install hint and writes nothing to config
`/model`, Desktop/TUI picker	the pinned catalog is listed (no live account picker)
a request	fails immediately with the install hint instead of a `Popen` traceback

Install Claude Code with `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`, or point `CLAUDE_SUBSCRIPTION_DIRECTSDK_COMMAND` at the binary if it lives outside `PATH`. The `plugin.yaml` declares the same requirement under `external_dependencies`.
