Is hermes-agent safe to install?

Yes — hermes-agent is safe to install, on this review. Sonnet 5 read every file hermes-agent ships from AtlasOmnia/hermes-custom-pack on 7 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

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.

What was read

The file as it ships in AtlasOmnia/hermes-custom-pack:

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 4things. The reviewer kept 0 and dismissed 4 as false.

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.
