hermes-desktop: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/lat-md/SKILL.md

lat-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fathah/hermes-desktop. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A documentation skill for maintaining lat.md files: structured Markdown pages that record a project's architecture, design decisions, business rules, and test specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, edit, or review files in a project's lat.md/ directory, including sections about architecture, domain rules, API contracts, constraints, and tests.
Why use it?
It keeps important reasoning and test intent in one linked place without copying the source code or filling the documentation with temporary notes.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is fathah/hermes-desktop's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on hermes-desktop 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-desktop configures →

About the project

Hermes One is a desktop application for installing, configuring, and chatting with Hermes Agent, an AI assistant that uses tools, memory, skills, scheduling, and messaging integrations.

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

lat-md 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

lat.md Authoring Guide

This skill covers the syntax, structure rules, and conventions for writing lat.md/ files. Load it whenever you need to create or edit sections in the lat.md/ directory.

What belongs in lat.md

lat.md/ files describe what the project does and why — domain concepts, key design decisions, business logic, and test specifications. They do NOT duplicate source code. Think of each section as an anchor that source code references back to.

Good candidates for sections:

  • Architecture decisions and their rationale
  • Domain concepts and business rules
  • API contracts and protocols
  • Test specifications (what is tested and why)
  • Non-obvious constraints or invariants

Bad candidates:

  • Step-by-step code walkthroughs (the code itself is the walkthrough)
  • Auto-generated API docs (use tools for that)
  • Temporary notes or TODOs

Section structure

Every section must have a leading paragraph — at least one sentence immediately after the heading, before any child headings or other block content.

The first paragraph must be ≤250 characters (excluding [[wiki link]] content). This paragraph is the section's identity — it appears in search results, command output, and RAG context.

# Good Section

Brief overview of what this section documents and why it matters.

More detail can go in subsequent paragraphs, code blocks, or lists.

## Child heading

Details about this child topic.
# Bad Section

## Child heading

This is invalid — "Bad Section" has no leading paragraph.

lat check enforces this rule.

Section IDs

Sections are addressed by file path and heading chain:

  • Full form: lat.md/path/to/file#Heading#SubHeading
  • Short form: file#Heading#SubHeading (when the file stem is unique)

Examples: lat.md/tests/search#RAG Replay Tests, cli#init, parser#Wiki Links.

Cross-reference other sections or source code with [[target]] or [[target|alias]].

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.
