A discovery skill for mapping active services, background jobs, data stores, dependencies, and data flows in an environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inventory an unfamiliar system before changing it and to find hidden connections between live components.
Why use it?
It helps reveal what is running, what depends on it, and which registrations or dependencies may be stale.

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

locate-animals-or-plants 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.

Locate Animals or Plants

Find what is alive, where it lives, and what it is feeding on.

What This Skill Does

Locate Animals or Plants is service discovery with ecological instincts. It helps you find running services, background jobs, data stores, dependency roots, and other living things in an environment before you touch them. The point is not just location, but context: what is active, who depends on it, and what keeps it alive. In this grimoire, Locate Animals or Plants is treated as a metaphorical spell with a shipping-now delivery profile. Canonical reference input: Locate Animals or Plants (spell).

When To Use

  • You need an inventory of active services, dependencies, or data flows in an unfamiliar environment.
  • The problem involves discovering what is running rather than debugging one known component.
  • You suspect there are hidden dependencies or stale registrations mixed in with live systems.

Prerequisites

  • No extra runtime dependencies beyond Hermes Agent and the normal toolset for this session.

Procedure

  1. Restate the target, the success condition, and any no-touch boundaries before taking action.
  2. Sweep the environment for active services, scheduled jobs, stores, queues, and known dependency markers.
  3. Trace the discovered components to the systems they depend on or feed.
  4. Return a live-system map with confidence levels and any blind spots in the survey.
  5. Package the result as the deliverables below, with confidence, assumptions, and unresolved risk called out explicitly.

Deliverables

  • A discovery map of live services and dependencies.
  • A shortlist of the most likely roots, leaves, and chokepoints.
  • A confidence note on stale entries, missing telemetry, or unobservable zones.

Pitfalls / Guardrails

  • Keep the metaphor anchored to a real mechanism instead of drifting into lore.
  • Do not mistake stale config, dead DNS, or abandoned containers for living systems without corroborating signals.
  • Stay within authorized discovery boundaries when scanning networks or environments.
