bighelp plugin 3.15.0

3.15.0: agents that know each other

This release lets agents on one computer know each other and ask each other for help. It also lets the bighelp app show what an agent does when another agent asks it something.

In this release

• Agents talking (#157): the new feature native-agent-talk-v1, with the read-only route agents/talk.
  • When one agent asks another agent, the app shows what the other agent does now, for example "Nova is searching the web".
  • The route reads the history of the other agent, read-only. The app sends a hash of each message, never the words. The plugin stores nothing.
• Teamwork (#158): the new feature native-team-v1, with the route team. It is off until you turn it on in the app.
  • When it is on, each agent gets a short brief in bighelp chats.
  • The brief has the name and role of each other agent, and how to ask them for help.
  • The plugin writes the brief into the Hermes setting platform_hints.bighelp.append of each agent. Text that you wrote in that setting stays. When you turn Teamwork off, the plugin removes its text.
• Safer feature checks (#159): if Hermes is in an unusual state, the app does not show the two new features. All other features continue to work.

You need bighelp 2.5.0 (128) or later for Teamwork and the live status of the other agent. Older apps work as before.

Tested

• tests/test_team.py and tests/test_agent_talk.py pass on Hermes main (2026-10-18).
• A test saves the Teamwork brief through the Hermes config helpers in a throwaway Hermes home. Then it reads the brief back as Hermes does when it builds a prompt.
• On a throwaway Hermes host, the agents/talk route showed the tool that the other agent ran, and then "not working" after the answer.
• The full suite has the same failures as 3.14.0. This release does not cause them.
