hermes-local-knowledge AGENTS.md

hermes-local-knowledge AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from stepanov1975/hermes-local-knowledge. It costs 1,586 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Hermes Local Knowledge, a Python plugin for searching and using local knowledge. They define its public tools, hooks, files, privacy rules, and development boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them before editing the repository to identify required files, preserve unrelated changes, keep dependencies controlled, and maintain the documented tools and hooks.
Why use it?
They help an AI agent make focused changes without breaking the plugin's documented interface or exposing local data.

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-local-knowledge AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent instructions for hermes-local-knowledge

These instructions apply to the whole repository.

Before editing

  1. Read README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and memory.md.
  2. Check git status --short --branch; preserve unrelated dirty work.
  3. Keep changes focused. Runtime dependencies remain Python standard library only unless a documented product need justifies otherwise.
  4. Never commit generated/local state or secrets.

Documented public boundaries

  • Package version is synchronized in plugin.yaml, pyproject.toml, and hermes_local_knowledge/__init__.py.
  • The Python plugin entry point is local_knowledge = hermes_local_knowledge.plugin; plugin.register is the registration boundary.
  • Registration provides exactly five native tools (knowledge_search, knowledge_get, knowledge_neighbors, knowledge_feedback, knowledge_usage_report) and four hooks (pre_llm_call, post_tool_call, on_session_end, on_session_finalize).
  • indexer.__all__ is exactly: Artifact, Edge, IndexSettings, build_index, search_index, get_artifact, get_neighbors, main.
  • python -m hermes_local_knowledge.cli is the primary standalone CLI. python -m hermes_local_knowledge.indexer is the preserved compatibility entry point. hermes local-knowledge is the smaller install/doctor surface; its worker command is host-internal.
  • Preserve documented configuration aliases and defaults. Do not preserve undocumented private call shapes merely because a test once patched them.
  • The three router-skill copies are an intentional packaging/install exception to DRY and must remain byte-identical with one equality assertion in tests/test_public_contract.py.

Current owners

  • config.py: configuration models and resolution.
  • implicit.py: default-enabled search-result consumption feedback.
  • artifacts.py: whole-artifact models, collection, privacy-safe metadata, graph edges.
  • index.py: format-4 persistence, cross-version/SQLite build locks, rebuild classification, deterministic retrieval.
  • telemetry.py: usage/feedback persistence and reports.
  • routing.py: bounded explicit and implicit feedback-assisted routing.
  • evaluation.py: read-only feedback replay and metrics.
  • service.py: managed index and telemetry lifecycle for one resolved config.
  • okf.py: safe OKF queue, hooks, worker, validation, fenced publication.
  • plugin.py: Hermes tools/hooks/skill/CLI registration.
  • cli.py: standalone and Hermes CLI adapters.
  • indexer.py: thin compatibility facade.
  • __init__.py: package version.

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.
