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 | $0.00015 | $0.03692 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01846 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00738 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00369 |
Grade C, and why
code-wiki scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
If you cloned to a temp dir, remind the user it can be removed (`rm -rf "$WIKI_TMP"`) after they've reviewed the wiki. Copies of this mod
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 446 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Wiki Skill
Generate a full wiki for any codebase — overview, architecture, per-module deep-dives, Mermaid class and sequence diagrams. Inspired by Google CodeWiki, but works on local repos, private repos, and any language. Uses only existing Hermes tools (terminal, read_file, search_files, write_file); no Docker, no external services, no extra dependencies.
This skill produces reference documentation (what/how). It does not produce strategic narrative (why — that's a different skill).
When to Use
- User says "document this codebase", "generate a wiki", "make architecture diagrams"
- Onboarding to an unfamiliar repo and wants a structured reference
- User points at a GitHub URL and asks for documentation
- Need a stable artifact (markdown + Mermaid) that renders on GitHub
Do NOT use this for:
- Single-file or single-function documentation — just answer directly
- API reference for one specific endpoint — use
read_fileand answer inline - Strategic "why does this exist" narrative — different skill, different purpose
- Codebases the user is actively developing in this session — just answer questions as they come
Prerequisites
- No env vars required.
giton PATH for repo SHA tracking and remote clones.- Optional:
pygountfor language-breakdown stats (see thecodebase-inspectionskill).
How to Run
Invoke through the terminal tool from the target repo's root, then use read_file / search_files / write_file to produce the wiki. Default output location is ~/.hermes/wikis/<repo-name>/. Only write into the repo (docs/wiki/) when the user explicitly requests it.
Quick Reference
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Resolve target — local cwd, given path, or git clone --depth 50 <url> to a temp dir |
| 2 | Scan structure — ls, find -maxdepth 3, manifest files, README |
| 3 | Pick 8–10 modules to document |
| 4 | Write README.md (overview + module map) |
| 5 | Write architecture.md with Mermaid flowchart |
| 6 | Write per-module docs in modules/ |
| 7 | Write diagrams/class-diagram.md (Mermaid classDiagram) |
| 8 | Write diagrams/sequences.md (Mermaid sequenceDiagram, 2–4 workflows) |
| 9 | Write getting-started.md |
| 10 | Write api.md if applicable, else skip |
| 11 | Write .codewiki-state.json |
| 12 | Report paths to user |
What ships with it
4 files 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.

code-wiki is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (242,680 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,692 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.

peek
Searches memories and displays compact one-liner results, or looks up a specific memory by ID. Use for quick memory lookups, checking if a decision was recorded, resolving [mem0:id] citations, or browsing memories without full category detail.
mem0-test-integration
Verify a Mem0 integration produced by /mem0-integrate. Runs in the same workspace on the same branch (loose coupling) — installs dependencies, runs the repo's native test suite, then exercises a real end-to-end smoke flow against the user's API key. Produces a scorecard. TRIGGER when: user has just run /mem0-integrate…
baby-sit
Monitor a GitHub pull request until CI is green, diagnose failures, and rerun only evidence-backed flaky GitHub Actions jobs.

Create and validate Microsoft PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), including structured slide decks, tables, workflows, metadata, and reproducible generation scripts. Use for presentation, slides, PowerPoint, PPT, or PPTX creation and verification tasks.
