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.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00014 | $0.02434 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00974 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00487 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00243 |
Grade A, and why
docker-management 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.

Docker Management
Manage Docker containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose stacks using standard Docker CLI commands. No additional dependencies beyond Docker itself.
When to Use
- Run, stop, restart, remove, or inspect containers
- Build, pull, push, tag, or clean up Docker images
- Work with Docker Compose (multi-service stacks)
- Manage volumes or networks
- Debug a crashing container or analyze logs
- Check Docker disk usage or free up space
- Review or optimize a Dockerfile
Prerequisites
- Docker Engine installed and running
- User added to the
dockergroup (or usesudo) - Docker Compose v2 (included with modern Docker installations)
Quick check:
docker --version && docker compose version
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Run container (background) | docker run -d --name NAME IMAGE |
| Stop + remove | docker stop NAME && docker rm NAME |
| View logs (follow) | docker logs --tail 50 -f NAME |
| Shell into container | docker exec -it NAME /bin/sh |
| List all containers | docker ps -a |
| Build image | docker build -t TAG . |
| Compose up | docker compose up -d |
| Compose down | docker compose down |
| Disk usage | docker system df |
| Cleanup dangling | docker image prune && docker container prune |
Procedure
1. Identify the domain
Figure out which area the request falls into:
- Container lifecycle → run, stop, start, restart, rm, pause/unpause
- Container interaction → exec, cp, logs, inspect, stats
- Image management → build, pull, push, tag, rmi, save/load
- Docker Compose → up, down, ps, logs, exec, build, config
- Volumes & networks → create, inspect, rm, prune, connect
- Troubleshooting → log analysis, exit codes, resource issues
2. Container operations
Run a new container:
# Detached service with port mapping
docker run -d --name web -p 8080:80 nginx
# With environment variables
docker run -d -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret -e POSTGRES_DB=mydb --name db postgres:16
# With persistent data (named volume)
docker run -d -v pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data --name db postgres:16
# For development (bind mount source code)
docker run -d -v $(pwd)/src:/app/src -p 3000:3000 --name dev my-app
# Interactive debugging (auto-remove on exit)
docker run -it --rm ubuntu:22.04 /bin/bash
# With resource limits and restart policy
docker run -d --memory=512m --cpus=1.5 --restart=unless-stopped --name app my-app
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.

docker-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (255,903 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,434 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 2026-08-30.
