Hermes Agent is an AI assistant that learns from its use by creating and improving skills, retaining knowledge, searching past conversations, and adapting to its users. It is for people who want to run an agent through a terminal or messaging platforms while connecting it to different AI models and scheduled tasks.
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 | $0.00012 | $0.00600 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00300 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
archify 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 today.
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.
What it actually says
Archify (upstream-maintained)
Catalog stub. This entry is maintained upstream at tt-a1i/archify: the project ships a self-contained skill directory (
archify/) with the Node CLI, schemas, renderers, examples and references.hermes skills install official/creative/archifypulls the current tree live from that repo (quarantined and scanned like any hub install) — this directory holds only the catalog metadata, so the vendored copy can never go stale.
Archify turns a small typed JSON spec into a self-contained, explorable HTML
diagram: architecture, workflow, sequence, dataflow and lifecycle
(state machine) types, dark/light themes, pan/zoom, search, relationship
tracing, optional trace motion, and PNG/JPEG/WebP/SVG/WebM export. It accepts
plain-language requirements or pasted Mermaid (flowchart, sequenceDiagram,
stateDiagram) and can read repository evidence when the diagram must reflect
real code. Every candidate goes through a 9-check validate / deliver
receipt, so the output is verifiable rather than eyeballed.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ on
PATH(node bin/archify.mjs doctorconfirms the install; nonpm installis needed inside the skill package). - Installs pull ~200 files (~8 MB, mostly upstream tests and examples) from GitHub; the fetch is pinned to one tree SHA, recorded in the bundle metadata.
- Upstream's "Update awareness" step runs
scripts/check-update.mjs, which reads a release manifest from GitHub and only prints a notice — it never downloads or installs anything. Skip it if outbound calls are unwanted.
After install, the bundled architecture-diagram skill remains the
zero-dependency fallback (it ports the same Cocoon AI lineage archify grew out
of); prefer archify when the user wants validated receipts, Mermaid conversion,
sequence/lifecycle types, or export beyond a single HTML file.

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.

archify is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (244,603 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 600 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-09-12.

Create a design canvas - a multi-artboard visual design published as an Artifact that runs Claude Design's canvas editor (an early preview of Claude Design inside Claude Code). You DRAFT the design as .dc.html artboards laid out on one pan/zoom canvas; where saving is enabled for the user's account they refine every…
create-design-system
Skill to use if user asks you to create a design system or UI kit.
hi-fi-design
The design process for high-fidelity, polished work — the system prompt tells Claude to invoke it before starting any design.

Present multiple design options as a vertical stack of anchored turns.
wireframe
Explore many ideas with wireframes and storyboards.
design-sync
Push a React design system to claude.ai/design. This runs a converter that bundles the real component code (from Storybook or a bare package) and uploads it. Use when the user runs /design-sync or says "sync my design system to Claude Design".
