hermes-swe-agent: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/setup/SKILL.md

setup is a skill for Claude Code from Deepank308/hermes-swe-agent. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,143 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive guide for deploying this infrastructure on your own repositories and AWS account, Amazon's cloud service. It walks through environment settings, repository configuration, setup commands, and integrations such as Linear and GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure repositories, choose an AWS region and server setup, run the installation script, connect Linear, and optionally configure Slack notifications, stable preview domains, or an AWS machine image.
Why use it?
It helps turn a collection of configuration choices into a guided setup and checks the information needed before installation. This reduces guesswork when connecting repositories, cloud resources, and optional services.

Skill for Claude Code

This is Deepank308/hermes-swe-agent's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hermes-swe-agent itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hermes-swe-agent configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash scripts/setup.sh.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup 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 1mo 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.

Self-Hosting Setup Guide

Help the user set up this infrastructure for their own repositories and AWS account. This is an interactive walkthrough — ask questions, validate inputs, and guide them through each step.

Important: Read SETUP.md and .env.example first for the full setup flow. Use the docs in docs/ as references for each integration.

Phase 1: Understand Their Setup

Ask the user about their environment:

  1. Which repositories will the agent work on? (GitHub org/repo names)
  2. AWS region preference (default: eu-north-1)
  3. Domain name they'll use for the orchestrator (e.g. hermes.example.com)
  4. Which integrations they want:
    • Linear (required)
    • GitHub App or PAT only? (recommend App for short-lived tokens)
    • Slack notifications? (optional)
    • Preview URLs with stable domains? (optional, needs Cloudflare API token)

Phase 2: Configure repos.json

Based on their answers:

  1. Read the current repos.json and repos.example.json to understand the format.
  2. Edit repos.json with entries for their repositories.
  3. For each repo, decide:
    • bakeAmi: true (heavy deps, Docker services) or false (lightweight, fast install)
    • instanceType based on their repo's resource needs
    • scriptsDir if they need custom boot scripts (explain when this is needed)
  4. Use docs/repos-json.md to guide the conversation.

Phase 3: Configure .env.local

  1. Help them create .env.local from .env.example:
    cp .env.example .env.local
    
  2. Walk through each section of .env.example and help them fill in values.
  3. For each integration, read the corresponding guide from docs/:

Linear (required)

  • Guide: docs/linear.md
  • They need to create: OAuth app + webhook in Linear Settings
  • Collect: LINEAR_CLIENT_ID, LINEAR_CLIENT_SECRET, LINEAR_WEBHOOK_SECRET
  • Callback URL: https://<their-domain>/oauth/callback
  • Webhook URL: https://<their-domain>/webhook

GitHub (required)

  • Guide: docs/github.md
  • GITHUB_TOKEN (PAT with repo scope) is always required for setup
  • Recommend also setting up a GitHub App for agent operations — collect GITHUB_APP_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY, GITHUB_APP_INSTALLATION_ID

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.
