Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.03132 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.01566 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00626 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00313 |
Grade A, and why
hermes-s6-container-supervision 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 12d 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.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to hermes-s6-container-supervision — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Hermes s6-overlay Container Supervision
When to use this skill
Load this skill when you're working on:
- Adding or removing a static service in the Hermes Docker image (something that should be supervised at every container start, like the dashboard)
- Diagnosing why a per-profile gateway isn't starting, restarting, or surviving
docker restart - Understanding why the container's CMD is
/opt/hermes/docker/main-wrapper.shand how leading-dash args reach the user's program - Modifying
cont-init.dboot scripts (UID remap, volume seeding, profile reconciliation) - Changing the rendered run-script for per-profile gateways (Phase 4)
If you're just running the Hermes Agent and want to use Docker, see website/docs/user-guide/docker.md instead.

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.

hermes-s6-container-supervision is a skill published in the GitHub repository aivrar/portable-hermes-agent (218 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 3,132 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to hermes-s6-container-supervision, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
