What the reviewer found
A 'godmode' jailbreak skill that ships ready-to-use config (~/.hermes/prefill.json, HERMES_EPHEMERAL_SYSTEM_PROMPT) to make the installing agent itself respond with 'GODMODE ENABLED' and no safety filters, persisting across sessions. This goes beyond describing an attack technique against a third party; it operationally hijacks the host agent's own guardrails.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
