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 | $0.00014 | $0.02546 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00007 | $0.01273 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00509 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00255 |
Grade C, and why
parallel-cli 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 3d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Parallel CLI
Use parallel-cli when the user explicitly wants Parallel, or when a terminal-native workflow would benefit from Parallel's vendor-specific stack for web search, extraction, deep research, enrichment, entity discovery, or monitoring.
This is an optional third-party workflow, not a Hermes core capability.
Important expectations:
- Parallel is a paid service with a free tier, not a fully free local tool.
- It overlaps with Hermes native
web_search/web_extract, so do not prefer it by default for ordinary lookups. - Prefer this skill when the user mentions Parallel specifically or needs capabilities like Parallel's enrichment, FindAll, or monitor workflows.
parallel-cli is designed for agents:
- JSON output via
--json - Non-interactive command execution
- Async long-running jobs with
--no-wait,status, andpoll - Context chaining with
--previous-interaction-id - Search, extract, research, enrichment, entity discovery, and monitoring in one CLI
When to use it
Prefer this skill when:
- The user explicitly mentions Parallel or
parallel-cli - The task needs richer workflows than a simple one-shot search/extract pass
- You need async deep research jobs that can be launched and polled later
- You need structured enrichment, FindAll entity discovery, or monitoring
Prefer Hermes native web_search / web_extract for quick one-off lookups when Parallel is not specifically requested.
Installation
Try the least invasive install path available for the environment.
Homebrew
brew install parallel-web/tap/parallel-cli
npm
npm install -g parallel-web-cli
Python package
pip install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
Standalone installer
curl -fsSL https://parallel.ai/install.sh | bash
If you want an isolated Python install, pipx can also work:
pipx install "parallel-web-tools[cli]"
pipx ensurepath
Authentication
Interactive login:
parallel-cli login
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.

parallel-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository nobodyohm-web/Thot (0 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,546 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). It is 100% identical to parallel-cli, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
