Fix Action

Workaround

Currently the closest option is on_session_start, but that only fires when a user actually initiates a new conversation — it does not detect gateway process restarts.

Problem

The current Hook system (hermes hooks) has on_session_start, on_session_end, pre_gateway_dispatch, etc., but there is no hook event for when the messaging gateway process itself starts up.

Use Case

When the gateway restarts (e.g., after config changes, system reboot, crash recovery), users on messaging platforms (WeChat, Telegram, Discord, etc.) have no way to know the agent is back online until they send a message and get a reply.

A gateway:startup hook would allow:

  • Sending automatic "Hermes is back online ✅" notifications to messaging platforms
  • Running startup health checks
  • Triggering initialization tasks (reloading external skills, warming up caches)

Proposed Solution

Add a gateway:startup hook event to VALID_HOOKS in hermes_cli/plugins.py, fired once when the gateway runner finishes initializing adapters and starts its main event loop.

Workaround

Currently the closest option is on_session_start, but that only fires when a user actually initiates a new conversation — it does not detect gateway process restarts.

Environment

  • Hermes Agent: 2026.5.7 (Homebrew, macOS)
  • Gateway: launchd auto-start, WeChat platform
