Hermes · Projects

Organize related chats, folders, repositories, and Kanban work inside one named Hermes workspace.

After this videoYou can now keep multi-repo work together and make every new chat or Kanban task start in the right place.

Hermes Projects are named, per-profile workspaces that can span multiple folders and repositories. Each Project has a primary folder, groups matching Desktop sessions, and can bind a Kanban board so tasks use deterministic worktrees and branches. Manage Projects from the CLI or let Hermes create, list, and switch them through the Desktop project tools.
