# Herm Config tab: settings, skills, and toolsets

> Manage Hermes Agent settings, installed skills, toolsets, environment variables, and memory providers from the Config tab in Herm.

The Config tab collects Hermes Agent settings and local Herm controls in one place. Open it with **Alt+4** or `/config`.

The tab has five sub-tabs: **Config**, **Skills**, **Toolsets**, **Env**, and **Memory**. Move between them with **Shift+Left** and **Shift+Right**.

## Config

The Config sub-tab lets you inspect and edit Hermes Agent configuration.

| Key      | Action                                |
| -------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `m`      | Toggle between form view and raw YAML |
| `Ctrl+S` | Save the current configuration        |

Form view exposes common settings with grouped fields, including model slots. YAML view is useful when you need to edit a setting that does not have a form control yet.

After saving config, use `/reload` for `.env` changes and `/reload-mcp` after MCP server changes.

## Skills

The Skills sub-tab lists installed skills and can search the skill hub. It does not toggle arbitrary skills on and off with `Space`.

| Key     | Action                                        |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `/`     | Search installed skills or hub results        |
| `Enter` | View a skill or install a selected hub result |
| `s`     | Change sort mode                              |
| `c`     | Open curator information                      |
| `h`     | Show skill history when available             |

Run `/reload-skills` after adding or removing skill files on disk so the gateway re-scans available skills.

## Toolsets

The Toolsets sub-tab shows toolsets exposed to Hermes Agent. Configurable toolsets can be toggled. Platform bundles and composite toolsets may be read-only.

After changing MCP-related tool configuration, run `/reload-mcp` so the gateway restarts MCP servers and rebuilds its tool list.

Jump here with `/toolsets`.

## Env

The Env sub-tab shows environment variables from the active Hermes profile's `.env` file. This is where API keys, model endpoint overrides, and other runtime secrets live.

<Warning>
  Edit secrets carefully. A bad API key or endpoint can break the next gateway request.
</Warning>

After editing environment variables, run:

```text theme={null}
/reload
```

Jump here with `/env`.

## Memory

The Memory sub-tab shows memory provider status and capacity. It is a provider/control view, not a per-memory-entry editor.

Use it to see the active provider, provider details, capacity usage, and recent memory activity. Provider switching is available when more than one provider is configured.

Jump here with `/memory`.

## Quick navigation

| Command     | Destination      |
| ----------- | ---------------- |
| `/config`   | Config sub-tab   |
| `/skills`   | Skills sub-tab   |
| `/toolsets` | Toolsets sub-tab |
| `/env`      | Env sub-tab      |
| `/memory`   | Memory sub-tab   |
