What the reviewer found
Reference documentation for configuring the Hermes agent CLI; the curl line installs Hermes's own official install.sh from the NousResearch GitHub repo, and the rm -rf/sudo mentions describe Hermes's own approval-mode settings and troubleshooting steps, not actions the skill takes. Body was cut off near 49KB but nothing in the visible text is concerning.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
