hermit-health is a skill for Claude Code from gtapps/claude-code-hermit. It costs 130 tokens per session (1,967 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A health report for a hermit system, covering alerts, pending proposals, routine activity, stored knowledge, communication channels, fragile areas, and recent learning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether the system is functioning, review unresolved alerts and proposals, inspect stale accepted changes, and see recent learning activity.
Why use it?
It brings operational and analytical warning signs into one compact check, making it easier to spot problems or neglected work.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

hermit-health 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 5d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hermit Health

Synthesize a compact "state of the hermit" snapshot in two halves: infrastructure (active alerts, proposal queue, routine engagement, knowledge state, channel readiness) and analysis (fragile zones, stale accepted proposals, recent learnings). Everything is read directly in main — this skill is on-demand and runner-free.

Step 0 — Channel reply

If this skill was invoked from a channel-arrived message (the inbound prompt contains a <channel source="..."> tag), reply via that channel's reply tool. Otherwise emit to conversation.

Scope

Read the following (gracefully skip any file that doesn't exist). The nine sources are independent — read them concurrently:

  1. .claude-code-hermit/state/alert-state.json — the alerts object, keyed by alert id (checklist:*, proposal-pending:PROP-NNN, micro-proposal-pending:*, stale-session). Each entry has text, count, first_seen, last_seen, suppressed, consecutive_clean.
  2. .claude-code-hermit/state/runtime.json — last_activity, session_id.
  3. .claude-code-hermit/state/reflection-state.json — last_reflection timestamp, counters (including judge_suppress_by_code map and run/output fields), and queue (pending micro-proposals and reflect candidates).
  4. .claude-code-hermit/config.json — routines array (id, schedule, enabled); channels object (each channel's default_chat_id and dm_channel_id).
  5. .claude-code-hermit/proposals/PROP-*.md — glob; count by status frontmatter field, and read id, title, accepted_date, resolved_date, tags for the stale-proposal and fragile-zone analysis.
  6. .claude-code-hermit/state/micro-proposals.json — count entries with status: "pending".
  7. Glob counts: .claude-code-hermit/raw/** (excluding .archive/), .claude-code-hermit/compiled/**, .claude-code-hermit/raw/.archive/**.
  8. .claude-code-hermit/sessions/S-*-REPORT.md — glob all, sort descending by filename, read the 5 most recent; parse status, tags, proposals_created frontmatter.
  9. .claude-code-hermit/sessions/SHELL.md — current session tags, blockers, and ## Findings entries (fallback source for recent learnings).

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.
