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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.01320 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00528 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00264 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
blocked-page-recovery scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Blocked-Page Recovery
When a page won't fetch — 403/429, Cloudflare "Just a moment...", a paywall, or a bot-detection interstitial — don't give up and don't loop on the same URL. Third-party services often hold a copy of the page. Work down this ladder, cheapest first.
The ladder
1. Wayback Machine — archive.org "available" API (snapshot + timestamp)
2. archive.today — domain rotation: archive.ph → .md → .li → .is
3. Jina Reader — only if JINA_API_KEY is set (live server-side render)
4. API-first pivot — look for /api/, /graphql, .json, or RSS on the same host
5. Real browser — browser tool as the last, most expensive resort
Run it in one shot with the bundled script:
python3 scripts/recover_page.py "https://example.com/blocked-article" --json
The script tries each route in order, validates every body (see "Fake successes" below), and prints the first genuine hit with its provenance.
Provenance discipline (non-negotiable)
Every recovered copy carries a provenance you MUST preserve when citing:
| Route | Provenance | How to cite |
|---|---|---|
| Wayback / archive.today | snapshot |
Cite WITH the snapshot date: "as archived 2026-08-06". Never present a snapshot as the live page — it may be stale. |
| Jina Reader | live |
Server-side re-render of the live page; cite normally. |
| Live fetch / browser | live |
Cite normally. |
If the user needs current data (prices, availability, breaking news), a snapshot is context, not an answer — say so explicitly and note its age.
Manual routes
1. Wayback Machine (best provenance, try first)
# Discovery: returns closest snapshot URL + timestamp as JSON
curl -sL "https://archive.org/wayback/available?url={URL}"
# Then fetch archived_snapshots.closest.url
For enumerating many snapshots (or recovering deleted pages), the CDX index:
curl -sL "https://web.archive.org/cdx/search/cdx?url={URL}&output=json&limit=10"
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 138 lines · 25 tokens per session scan A 7f7d321f1773
blocked-page-recovery is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (257,419 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,320 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
