Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00028 | $0.02589 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00014 | $0.01295 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00518 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00259 |
Grade A, and why
link-curator-dashboard scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Link Curator Dashboard — Maintenance Skill
Service overview
The link-curator dashboard is a FastAPI app running on port 8090, separate from the official Hermes dashboard (hermes dashboard, default port 9119). It reads from the vault at <profile-dir>/vault/ and exposes a read-only web UI.
Process inventory
# Find all dashboard processes
lsof -nP -iTCP:8090 -sTCP:LISTEN
# Check the command
ps -p <pid> -o pid,command
# Check working directory (macOS)
lsof -a -p <pid> -d cwd
# Check working directory (Linux)
readlink /proc/<pid>/cwd
Current layout (verify with ps aux | grep "8090"):
- The dashboard process typically runs
uvicorn main:app --port 8090from<profile-dir>/dashboard/ - The process working directory is authoritative — do not assume the path matches the skill's description if multiple dashboard instances exist
- This dashboard is a separate process from the official Hermes dashboard (the
hermes dashboardcommand, default port 9119). They are independent and can run side-by-side.

Caching — automatic
archive.py uses mtime-based invalidation — no lru_cache, no manual invalidation needed:
What ships with it
5 files 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.
