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 E, and why

hermes-bot-kit AGENTS.md scanned grade E with 3 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 today.

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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Agent instructions for Hermes Bot Kit

You are installing desktop plugins for Hermes Desktop. Everything here is safe to run unattended: no sudo, no prompts, idempotent, existing files are backed up (*.bak.<timestamp>) before overwrite.

Install the desktop plugins (default)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh | bash

Install just one:

KIT_SKIP_COMPUTER=1 KIT_SKIP_SECTIONS=1 KIT_SKIP_TASK_DOCK=1 bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh)"   # Bubble Mode only
KIT_SKIP_BUBBLES=1  KIT_SKIP_SECTIONS=1 KIT_SKIP_TASK_DOCK=1 bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh)"   # Computer viewer only
KIT_SKIP_BUBBLES=1  KIT_SKIP_COMPUTER=1 KIT_SKIP_TASK_DOCK=1 bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh)"   # Bot Sections only
KIT_SKIP_BUBBLES=1  KIT_SKIP_COMPUTER=1 KIT_SKIP_SECTIONS=1  bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh)"   # Task Dock only

Into a non-default Hermes home (a separate ~/.hermes-shaped tree, e.g. a second install):

HERMES_HOME="/path/to/other/.hermes" bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasbek3/hermes-bot-kit/v2026.09.12/install.sh)"

Do not point HERMES_HOME at ~/.hermes/profiles/<name> for these desktop plugins. Since hermes-agent 284d220ba4 the desktop-plugin root is APP-level, never profile-scoped (electron/desktop-plugins-root.ts): a desktop plugin extends the app, not an agent, so one install serves every profile, and migrateProfileScopedDesktopPlugins() MOVES anything left in profiles/<name>/desktop-plugins/ up to ~/.hermes/desktop-plugins/ on the next launch. The Python halves (orgo-computer, texting-style) are still per-profile — their own installers handle that.

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.
