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 | $0.00016 | $0.01810 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00724 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00181 |
Grade C, and why
actual-setup scanned grade C 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 1mo 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.

Actual Computer Setup Skill
Sets up actual.inc (Actual Computer) as a Hermes inference
provider. Actual turns the user's own hardware into a private inference cluster
and exposes an OpenAI-compatible API two ways: a hosted end-to-end-encrypted
relay at https://api.actual.inc (authenticated with an ac_ key), and a local
on-device daemon at http://127.0.0.1:8080 (no auth on loopback). This skill
does not install the Actual daemon for the user — device authorization requires
a human in a browser.
When to Use
- User wants to add actual.inc as an inference provider (cloud relay or local).
- User has an
ac_key and wants Hermes routed through their Actual cluster. - User wants fully-local, on-device inference via the Actual daemon.
- Troubleshooting: Actual requests failing with cryptic 400s or empty streams.
Prerequisites
- Hermes has first-class
actualprovider support (provider idactual, aliasesactual-computer,actualcomputer,aci). Do NOT configure Actual as acustom_providers/providers.actual.*entry on current Hermes — the built-in provider owns the name and handles base-url normalization, the Responses transport, and local no-auth automatically. - Relay mode: an Actual account and an
ac_inference key from https://actual.inc/user/keys. - Local mode: the user has installed the daemon
(
curl -fsSL "https://actual.inc/install" | bash) and completed device authorization by runningactualonce and opening the printedhttps://actual.inc/device?code=...URL in a browser. Relay that URL to the user and WAIT — never invent an email or authorize on their behalf. Codes expire in 5 minutes; re-runactualfor a fresh one.
How to Run
Relay / API mode
- Put the key in
.env(secrets only — never config.yaml): appendACTUAL_API_KEY=ac_...to~/.hermes/.env. - Verify the key and discover models with
terminal:curl -s https://api.actual.inc/v1/models -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACTUAL_API_KEY" - Select provider + model:
hermes config set model.provider actual hermes config set model.default "MODEL_ID_FROM_DISCOVERY" - Verify end-to-end:
hermes chat -Q -q "Reply with exactly: ACTUAL_OK" --provider actual -m MODEL_ID
What ships with it
1 file 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.

actual-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository nobodyohm-web/Thot (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,810 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to actual-setup, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
