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 C, and why

install-hermes scanned grade C with 2 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/install.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

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

Hermes Agent 一键安装与配置

操作系统: Linux / macOS / WSL2 / Android(Termux)。不支持原生 Windows。

意图识别与行动映射

当用户表达以下意图时,按对应工作流执行:

用户说 对应工作流
"安装 Hermes" / "从零开始" 工作流 1: 全新安装
"安装 [Provider 名]" / "配置 [模型名]" / "接入 [供应商]" 工作流 2: 添加 Provider
"接入 [平台名]" / "配置 [Telegram/钉钉/飞书/微信]" / "安装 Bot" 工作流 3: 添加消息平台
"安装 Workspace" / "Web UI" / "可视化界面" 工作流 4: 安装 Hermes Workspace
"从 OpenClaw 迁移" 工作流 5: OpenClaw 迁移
"检查配置" / "出问题" / "不能用" 工作流 6: 诊断与修复

工作流 1: 全新安装

前提检查

git --version   # 必须可用

执行安装

bash ./scripts/install.sh
source ~/.bashrc   # 或 source ~/.zshrc
hermes doctor      # 验证

安装过程说明:

  • 脚本默认最小安装(跳过 daytona/playwright/WhatsApp 等重型组件),安装速度快
  • 需要完整功能(浏览器工具、WhatsApp 等)时加 --full 参数
  • 脚本默认跳过交互式配置向导,安装完后运行 hermes setup 再配置
  • 如需安装时直接配置,加 --with-setup 参数
  • CI/自动化场景直接运行即可,不会出现任何交互阻塞
  • 安装完成后会自动安装 tokenless 插件(token 用量追踪和响应压缩),无需额外操作

安装参数说明:

参数 说明
(无参数) 最小安装,仅核心包,速度最快(推荐新手)
--full 安装所有 extras(daytona、playwright、WhatsApp 等)
--with-setup 安装完后启动配置向导
--skip-tokenless 跳过 tokenless 插件自动安装

首次配置

hermes model       # 选择 Provider 和模型
hermes             # 启动首次对话验证

工作流 2: 添加 Provider

用户意图:"我要安装 OpenRouter"、"接入 DeepSeek"、"用 Claude"、"配置 Kimi" 等。

Step 1: 确定 Provider 类型

从以下速查表识别用户指定的 Provider:

Provider 环境变量名 交互式命令 详细配置参考
Alibaba / 通义千问 DASHSCOPE_API_KEY hermes model model.md
DeepSeek DEEPSEEK_API_KEY hermes model model.md
z.ai / 智谱 GLM GLM_API_KEY hermes model model.md
Kimi / Moonshot 中国版 KIMI_CN_API_KEY hermes model model.md
MiniMax 中国 MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY hermes model model.md
Ollama (本地) 无需密钥 hermes model model.md

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
