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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00019 | $0.00607 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00303 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00121 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00061 |
Grade A, and why
github 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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub
Work GitHub end to end with the gh CLI (REST fallback where noted): auth,
issues, the PR lifecycle, issue-to-PR delivery, code review, and repo
management. This skill consolidates six former skills; each workflow lives
complete in its reference file — ALWAYS read the matching reference before
starting that workflow, the body below only routes.
Routing
| Task | Read first |
|---|---|
| Auth broken / new machine / token or SSH setup / gh login | references/auth.md |
| Create, triage, label, assign, close issues | references/issues.md |
| Branch, commit, open PR, watch CI, merge | references/pr-workflow.md |
| Carry an ISSUE to a verified PR (full delivery loop) | references/issue-to-pr.md |
| Review someone's PR: diffs, inline comments, verdict | references/code-review.md |
| Clone/create/fork repos, remotes, releases | references/repo-management.md |
Supporting assets: scripts/gh-env.sh + scripts/git-credential-token.py
(auth helpers), templates/ (PR bodies, bug report, feature request),
references/ci-troubleshooting.md, references/conventional-commits.md,
references/github-api-cheatsheet.md, references/review-output-template.md.
Core discipline (applies to every workflow)
- Preflight once per session:
gh auth status— if it fails, go toreferences/auth.mdbefore anything else. - Prefer
ghover raw REST; drop togh apionly for endpoints the porcelain lacks (the cheatsheet lists them). - Never report CI green without checking
gh pr checksyourself; never claim merged without verifyingstate,mergedAt. - Read full context before writing:
gh issue view --comments/gh pr view --comments— decisions live in threads, not titles. - Sweep for duplicates before creating anything:
gh pr list --search/gh issue list --search.
Verification
- The workflow's own reference file defines done for that task.
- Cross-cutting: every claim about remote state (CI, merge, release,
issue state) is backed by a fresh
ghread, never memory.
What ships with it
16 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.

github is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (241,505 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 607 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 2026-09-03.
