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 5.1 | $0.00014 | $0.00958 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
petdex 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 6d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to petdex — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Petdex Skill
Browse, install, and select animated "pet" mascots from the public
petdex gallery. An installed pet
reacts to agent activity (idle, running a tool, reviewing, error, done) across
the Hermes CLI, TUI, and desktop app. This skill drives the hermes pets CLI
and the display.pet config — it does not generate sprites.
When to Use
- The user wants a desktop/terminal mascot or asks about "pets" / petdex.
- The user wants to change, preview, or disable the active pet.
- Diagnosing why a pet isn't showing (terminal graphics support, config).
Prerequisites
- Network access to
petdex.devfor the gallery/manifest (read-only, no auth). - Pillow (a core Hermes dependency) for sprite decoding — already installed.
- For full-fidelity terminal rendering: a graphics-capable terminal (kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm, iTerm2, or sixel). Otherwise a truecolor Unicode half-block fallback is used automatically.
How to Run
Use the terminal tool to run hermes pets <subcommand>.
Quick Reference
| Goal | Command |
|---|---|
| Browse the gallery | hermes pets list (add a substring to filter: hermes pets list cat) |
| List installed pets | hermes pets list --installed |
| Install a pet | hermes pets install <slug> (add --select to make it active) |
| Set the active pet | hermes pets select <slug> (omit slug for a picker) |
| Resize the pet everywhere | hermes pets scale <factor> (e.g. 0.5, clamped 0.1–3.0) |
| Preview/animate in terminal | hermes pets show [slug] [--cycle] [--state run] |
| Disable the pet | hermes pets off |
| Remove a pet | hermes pets remove <slug> |
| Diagnose setup | hermes pets doctor |
Procedure
- Find a pet:
hermes pets list <query>and note itsslug. - Install + activate:
hermes pets install <slug> --select. - Preview it:
hermes pets show(Ctrl+C to stop). - Confirm setup:
hermes pets doctor— shows the resolved pet, configured render mode, detected terminal graphics protocol, and effective mode.
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.

petdex is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyborg-garden/hermes-agent-mt (13 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 958 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to petdex, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
