What the reviewer found

This is Hermes Agent's own SKILL.md; the curl targets hermes-agent.nousresearch.com, the project's own installer domain. The rm -rf and sudo loginctl mentions are documentation of Hermes's built-in destructive-command approval gate and a systemd linger fix, not commands the file executes.

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.
