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 5.1 | $0.00017 | $0.01144 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00572 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00229 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
watchers 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 8d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to watchers — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Watchers
Poll external sources on an interval and react only to new items. Three ready-made scripts plus a shared watermark helper; wire them into a cron job (or run them ad-hoc from the terminal).
When to Use
- User wants to watch an RSS/Atom feed and be notified of new entries
- User wants to watch a GitHub repo's issues / pulls / releases / commits
- User wants to poll an arbitrary JSON endpoint and get notified on new items
- User asks for "a watcher for X" or "notify me when X changes"
Mental model
A watcher is just a script that:
- Fetches data from the external source
- Compares against a watermark file of previously-seen IDs
- Writes the new watermark back
- Prints new items to stdout (or nothing on no-change)
The scripts below handle all three. The agent runs them via the terminal tool — from a cron job, a webhook, or an interactive chat — and reports what's new.
Ready-made scripts
All three live in $HERMES_HOME/skills/devops/watchers/scripts/ once the skill is installed. Each reads WATCHER_STATE_DIR (defaults to $HERMES_HOME/watcher-state/) for its state file, keyed by the --name argument.
| Script | What it watches | Dedup key |
|---|---|---|
watch_rss.py |
RSS 2.0 or Atom feed URL | <guid> / <id> |
watch_http_json.py |
Any JSON endpoint returning a list of objects | Configurable id field |
watch_github.py |
GitHub issues / pulls / releases / commits for a repo | id / sha |
All three:
- First run records a baseline — never replays existing feed
- Watermark is a bounded ID set (max 500) to cap memory
- Output format:
## <title>\n<url>\n\n<optional body>per item - Empty stdout on no-new — the caller treats that as silent
- Non-zero exit on fetch errors
Usage
Run a watcher directly from the terminal tool:
python $HERMES_HOME/skills/devops/watchers/scripts/watch_rss.py \
--name hn --url https://news.ycombinator.com/rss --max 5
Watch a GitHub repo (set GITHUB_TOKEN in ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env to avoid the 60 req/hr anonymous rate limit):
What ships with it
4 files 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.

watchers is a skill published in the GitHub repository johnson7788/MultiUserClaw (317 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,144 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to watchers, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
