What the reviewer found

This is the official documentation skill for Hermes Agent, an open-source agent framework by Nous Research. The install command pulls from the project's own GitHub repo (NousResearch/hermes-agent), sudo loginctl is a standard systemd troubleshooting tip, and rm -rf is only cited as an example of a command Hermes's own approval system flags for user confirmation.

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.
