What Scarf does

Scarf mirrors Hermes's surface area through a sidebar-based UI grouped into four sections:

• Monitor — Dashboard, Insights, Sessions, Activity. See what Hermes is doing.
• Interact — Chat, Memory, Skills. Talk to Hermes and shape what it knows.
• Configure — Platforms, Personalities, Quick Commands, Credential Pools, Plugins, Webhooks, Profiles, Servers. Set Hermes up.
• Manage — Tools, MCP Servers, Gateway, Cron, Health, Logs, Settings. Operate Hermes.

Scarf 2.0 is a multi-window app — one window per Hermes server, local or remote. Remote hosts are reached over plain SSH using your existing ~/.ssh/config, agent, ProxyJump, and ControlMaster.

Project status
