Hermes already supports multiple isolated profiles, and the VS Code extension currently appears to launch Hermes without a way to choose which profile is used.
It would be very useful to add a per-agent profile selector in the extension, or at least a way to pass --profile <name> when defining an agent.
Why this matters
- I may want a dedicated lightweight profile for VS Code/editor work
- I may want a different profile for experiments, higher reasoning, or separate credentials
- Right now the extension seems to rely on Hermes's sticky default profile only
Suggested behavior
- Keep the current default behavior when no profile is set
- Add an explicit
profile setting for an ACP agent, or expose a UI selector
- Launch Hermes with the chosen profile, for example:
hermes --profile vscode-fast acp
Example use case
- Default profile: normal CLI/chat use
- VS Code profile: lower reasoning / faster model / narrower tools
Thanks for considering it.
