hermes-environment-migration

hermes-environment-migration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from asimons81/hermes-field-kit. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for moving a Hermes environment, including its profiles, skills, memory, and scheduled jobs, between computers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for preparing staged exports, separating credentials, verifying archive contents and hashes, importing selected data, and checking the migration.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of copying machine-specific files, exposing secrets, importing corrupted data, or losing the ability to roll back.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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-environment-migration 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/validate_bundle.py, tests/test_contracts.py), 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.

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.

hermes-environment-migration

Overview

A platform-aware migration protocol that refuses blind copies of machine-bound state and separates ordinary configuration from credentials and encrypted vault material.

The skill is evidence-first. It identifies unavailable evidence, separates facts from interpretations, and does not claim a repair or successful outcome merely because a command returned without an obvious error.

When to Use

  • Move my Hermes setup to a new machine.
  • Prepare a Hermes migration export.
  • Verify and import this Hermes archive.
  • Migrate profiles, skills, memory, and cron safely.

Counter-Triggers

Do not load this skill when:

  • The user only wants to install a fresh Hermes instance.
  • The request is a generic file copy with no Hermes state.
  • The archive cannot be staged and verified before import.

Safety Contract

  • Back up the target before any import.
  • Never display or include secrets in the ordinary migration archive.
  • Never activate an imported session database blindly.
  • Stage and verify archives outside live Hermes directories.
  • Reject path traversal, absolute archive paths, hash mismatches, and unexpected files.
  • Import cron jobs disabled and gateway configuration inactive until reviewed.
  • Stop on integrity failures and preserve rollback artifacts.
  • Never invent names, paths, versions, counts, component identities, or other specifics that are absent from the supplied evidence.
  • When evidence provides only an aggregate, preserve that aggregate exactly, such as three local skills (names not provided), rather than supplying plausible examples.
  • Treat evidence labels narrowly. A clean SHA-256 manifest proves only the explicitly stated hash result; it does not prove manifest scope, absence of orphan files, signatures, provenance, archive safety, or lack of tampering unless those checks were separately supplied.

Any mutation, repair, persistence, publication, credential change, process change, repository write, or external side effect mentioned by this skill requires a separate explicit approval after the diagnostic or planning output.

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.
