hermes-session

hermes-session is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jordanhubbard/agentos. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A session guide for an operator agent working with agentOS, a capability-controlled operating system built on the seL4 microkernel. It defines what the agent may inspect and what it must not modify or build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting memory, guest systems, threads, and hardware, and reporting structured snapshots from agentOS.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a clear scope for reporting system state while preventing it from taking unsupported actions in the repository.

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

hermes-session 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 28d 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.

Hermes operator session (agentOS)

This file is the session context an operator agent (Hermes or any other LLM CLI) loads when attached to agentOS. It is not a UI. It is not a PD.

What agentOS is

agentOS is a capability-secured OS on seL4. Guests (Linux, FreeBSD) and native agents consume virtualizers (serial, net, blk). seL4 is the only kernel-mode code. Native agents are not TCB.

What this session may do (now)

Read and report. Call the inspect snapshot ABI:

On the AArch64 target, make -C tools/agentctl builds the public consumer. Run _build/tools/agentctl/agentctl --socket PATH inspect against the CC socket. CC returns the immutable root boot observation with MSG_CC_INSPECT. The report labels its observation as boot: listed PDs successfully started, but current thread states are unknown. Guest RAM is the boot reservation; untyped usage is an accounted-page lower bound, not a free-memory estimate. No root endpoint or device capability is granted to the consumer.

agentctl --socket PATH session-inspect routes inspect.snapshot through serial_virt to the native operator_session client. The client has its own queue page and scoped attach/notification capabilities. This is one externally serialized stream; callers must not interleave requests. The transport remains privileged CC, and this protocol offers no PTY, shell, mutation or API-key storage.

  • Header: platform/include/platform/inspect.h
  • Fill: aos_inspect_fill
  • Structured text: aos_inspect_format (key=value lines)

The snapshot covers:

  • Memory: untyped pool total/used, guest RAM size, PD count
  • Threads: PD index, name, priority, state (running/blocked/idle/unknown)
  • Hardware: arch, UART PA, GIC distributor PA, emulated virtio-net IPA/IRQ

Host tests: tests/platform/test_inspect_snapshot.c (via make test-host). Those tests are a pre-filter. They do not prove a live seL4 query. make test-inspect verifies the real CC and CLI path, malformed request rejection and repeat stability. make test-inspect-readonly separately requires a root-verified CC write fault after a successful snapshot read.

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-session is a skill published in the GitHub repository jordanhubbard/agentos (53 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed BSD-2-Clause. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,028 tokens. 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 2026-09-04.
