What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects a self-hosted Hermes agent to Google Chat without public webhooks, making enterprise chat integration workable on SSH-managed VPS deployments while keeping access tightly controlled.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Google Chat wiring: Configures Hermes to receive messages through a Cloud Pub/Sub pull subscription and send replies through the Google Chat API.
• Safety checks: Verifies the GCP project, topic, subscription, service-account key path, Publisher IAM, and required allowlist before enabling the integration.
• Operational reliability: Uses idempotent setup steps, dry-run previewing, and rollback-safe gateway reloading so repeated runs stay predictable.
• Use Case: A team wants their internal Workspace users to DM a Hermes agent in Google Chat and get replies from a VPS-hosted bot without exposing a webhook to the internet.

Quick Start

Use this skill to connect a Hermes agent on your VPS to Google Chat by validating the Pub/Sub setup, writing the required Hermes environment values, and reloading the gateway after the Workspace allowlist is in place.
