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 | $0.00016 | $0.08993 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.04496 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.01799 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00899 |
Grade D, and why
claude-code scanned grade D with 2 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Claude Code — Hermes Orchestration Guide
Delegate coding tasks to Claude Code (Anthropic's autonomous coding agent CLI) via the Hermes terminal. Claude Code v2.x can read files, write code, run shell commands, spawn subagents, and manage git workflows autonomously.
Prerequisites
- Install:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code - Auth: run
claudeonce to log in (browser OAuth for Pro/Max, or setANTHROPIC_API_KEY) - Console auth:

claude auth login --ssofor Enterprise - Check status:
claude auth status(JSON) orclaude auth status --text(human-readable) - Health check:
claude doctor— checks auto-updater and installation health - Version check:
claude --version(requires v2.x+) - Update:

Two Orchestration Modes
Hermes interacts with Claude Code in two fundamentally different ways. Choose based on the task.
Mode 1: Print Mode (-p) — Non-Interactive (PREFERRED for most tasks)
Print mode runs a one-shot task, returns the result, and exits. No PTY needed. No interactive prompts. This is the cleanest integration path.
terminal(command="claude -p 'Add error handling to all API calls in src/' --allowedTools 'Read,Edit' --max-turns 10", workdir="/path/to/project", timeout=120)
When to use print mode:
- One-shot coding tasks (fix a bug, add a feature, refactor)
- CI/CD automation and scripting
- Structured data extraction with
--json-schema - Piped input processing (
cat file | claude -p "analyze this") - Any task where you don't need multi-turn conversation
Print mode skips ALL interactive dialogs — no workspace trust prompt, no permission confirmations. This makes it ideal for automation.
Mode 2: Interactive PTY via tmux — Multi-Turn Sessions
Interactive mode gives you a full conversational REPL where you can send follow-up prompts, use slash commands, and watch Claude work in real time. Requires tmux orchestration.
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.

claude-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository john-data-chen/hermes-agent-backup (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 8,993 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). It is 92% identical to claude-code, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
regulatory-analysis
Analyzes documents and processes against FINRA, SEC, Federal Reserve, and CFPB regulatory frameworks. Identifies compliance gaps, classifies findings by severity, and recommends remediation. Use when performing compliance audits, regulatory reviews, gap analyses, or verifying policy adherence to financial regulations.
create-agent
Creates and configures agent.yaml files, writes SOUL.md personality definitions, and sets up agent directory structures with skills, tools, and knowledge. Use when the user wants to configure an agent, create agent.yaml, write SOUL.md, set up agent directory structure, or customize agent settings.
manage-skills
Searches the SkillsMP registry, installs skills locally or globally, creates custom skills with SKILL.md frontmatter, and manages the skill lifecycle. Use when the user wants to find skills, add new capabilities, install a skill, browse available skills, create a custom skill, or manage the skills system.
run-agent
Configures and runs agents with different adapters including Claude, OpenAI, CrewAI, Lyzr, and GitHub Models. Supports local execution, remote git repos, and one-shot prompts. Use when the user wants to run an agent, switch LLM providers, configure adapter settings, or launch agents from git repositories.
wiki-ingest
Ingest a raw source document into the wiki. Reads the source, extracts key information, creates or updates wiki pages, maintains cross-references, and logs the operation. Use when the user adds a new source or says 'ingest this'.
document-review
Reviews financial documents (prospectuses, ADVs, marketing materials) for FINRA 2210 compliance, required disclosures, and balanced presentation. Use when reviewing financial statements, audit documents, regulatory filings, or when the user mentions compliance checks, financial audits, or document verification.
