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 | $0.00048 | $0.01344 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00672 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00269 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00134 |
Grade A, and why
hermes-agent-compatibility 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 2d 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 — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Hermes Agent Compatibility
Maintain Socket's deliberate compatibility boundary with Hermes Agent. Start by classifying the requested Socket surface, then choose the narrowest Hermes surface that preserves its real behavior.
Surface Map
| Socket surface | Hermes equivalent | Compatibility outcome |
|---|---|---|
SKILL.md workflow |
GitHub skill tap or direct GitHub skill install | Export when the workflow is portable instructions plus existing tools. |
| Codex plugin bundle | None | Do not present .codex-plugin/plugin.json as a Hermes plugin. Keep it as Codex packaging only. |
.mcp.json server declaration |
mcp_servers entry in ~/.hermes/config.yaml |
Translate the transport and required environment, then validate the server in Hermes. |
| Codex lifecycle hook | Python plugin hook, gateway hook, or shell hook | Select the Hermes event system by runtime owner; do not mechanically translate the Codex event file. |
| Codex app or connector | MCP, API integration, or standalone plugin | Rebuild against the actual external-service contract; .app.json has no Hermes meaning. |
| Codex custom agent | Hermes delegation, profile, or profile distribution | Redesign the role, state, tools, and isolation; do not translate agents/openai.yaml presentation metadata. |
| Runtime tools, hooks, commands, or bundled skills | General Python Hermes plugin | Use plugin.yaml plus register(ctx) only when instruction-only or MCP configuration cannot express the behavior. |
| Messaging channel | Platform adapter | Use the specialized gateway platform plugin surface. |
| Inference, memory, context, secrets, media, search, or browser backend | Specialized Hermes plugin/provider | Use the subsystem-specific interface, not a general plugin wrapper. |
| Native desktop or web dashboard UI | Desktop or dashboard SDK | These are separate Hermes UI extension systems and do not reuse the Python plugin API. |
Maintain the Skill Tap
Socket's Hermes tap is the checked-in root skills/ export. Its authored
source remains plugins/agent-portability-skills/skills/; do not edit the
export manually.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

hermes-agent-compatibility is a skill published in the GitHub repository gaelic-ghost/socket (7 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,344 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
