Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hermes-agent-harness-plus CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Guidance for AI agents working in this repository.

What this repo is

A companion toolbox for Hermes Agent: Task Canvas evidence trails (packages/context-canvas/), archived Autopilot source, the Prime Agent minion bridge (plugins/), local Qdrant recall helpers (scripts/), Hermes skills (skills/), and ops checklists (ops-rules/). Hermes Agent itself is never modified; every piece is optional and documents its data path and failure posture. Local observability helpers may fail open; credential, route, ownership, and replay boundaries fail closed.

Before touching README, docs/, or the website

Read ops-rules/docs-and-website-update-guide.md first. It is the single source of truth for brand voice, color tokens, section anatomy, the content sync map, and the verification checklist. Non-negotiables:

  • docs/index.html stays a single self-contained file (no external assets, fonts, or analytics) and keeps its prefers-reduced-motion and :focus-visible accessibility blocks.
  • Honest marketing only: no invented numbers, testimonials, or claims.
  • The same quick-start commands must appear identically in docs/install.md, README.md, and the website #quickstart blocks (visible text and data-copy attributes).
  • Website links to .md files use GitHub blob URLs, never raw relative paths.

Commands

python -m pip install -e '.[mcp]' pytest   # install for development
python -m pytest -q                        # smoke tests (must pass before push)

Deployment

GitHub Pages serves main branch /docs automatically — pushing to main is the deploy. Verify after ~1–2 minutes with a cache-busted fetch: curl -s "https://phenomenoner.github.io/hermes-agent-harness-plus/?cb=$RANDOM".

Conventions

  • Commits: docs: / feat: / fix: prefix, imperative subject ≤ 72 chars.
  • Anything public must pass ops-rules/public-release-checklist.md — no secrets, no machine-specific paths, placeholders documented.
  • New third-party dependencies get a source + version + license entry in NOTICE.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
