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 | $0.00046 | $0.01455 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00727 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
engineering-database-optimizer 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 5d 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.
The source is not reproduced here
A licence we could not identify
The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.
What ships with it
1 file 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.
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.

engineering-database-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository clowlove/Hermes-House (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), with no licence file. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,455 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

hermes-mnemosyne
Mnemosyne is Hermes' primary local-first memory engine — SQLite with vector + FTS5 hybrid search, 19+ tools, auto-consolidation, and a standalone CLI. It's a pip-installed plugin (not a built-in toolset) discovered via $HERMESHOME/plugins/mnemosyne/.
data-divergence
Investigate why two datasets that should agree don't — two pipelines writing the same logical table, a rollup vs the detail it aggregates, a dashboard vs its source, one environment vs another. Use when row counts, totals, or date ranges disagree and the question is what happened rather than just what differs. Covers…
sql-diagram
Diagram a SQL query and explain what it shows — either its execution steps (mode=plan) or its column lineage (mode=lineage) — then trace it through small data so the defects the picture cannot show become visible. Use when asked to visualize, diagram, explain or review what a query does, how it joins its tables, or…
maintain-python-template
Extend or repair the Python Template repository while keeping its catalog, Copier questions, templates, generated references, and tests synchronized. Use for adding a framework, provider, database, interface, ML tool, deployment target, preset, compatibility rule, or generated-project capability.
hermes-backup-recovery
Use when designing, operating, or verifying encrypted backups and disaster recovery for Hermes state. Combines sanitized Git history, atomic Restic snapshots, WAL-safe SQLite copies, manifest checks, retention gates, and clean-room restore drills.
