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
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 5.1 | $0.00017 | $0.02164 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01082 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00433 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00216 |
Grade C, and why
here-now scanned grade C with 3 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 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.
Subtle steeringmediumPrompt injection
Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.
- Never tell the user to inspect `.herenow/state.json` for claim URLs or auth status. Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
mkdir -p ~/.herenow && echo "{API_KEY}" > ~/.herenow/credentials && chmod 600 ~/.herenow/credentials Makes network callslowCapability
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 — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
here.now
here.now lets agents publish websites and store private files in cloud Drives.
Use here.now for two jobs:
- Sites: publish websites and files at
{slug}.here.now. - Drives: store private agent files in cloud folders.
Current docs
Before answering questions about here.now capabilities, features, or workflows, read the current docs:
Read the docs:
- at the first here.now-related interaction in a conversation
- any time the user asks how to do something
- any time the user asks what is possible, supported, or recommended
- before telling the user a feature is unsupported
Topics that require current docs (do not rely on local skill text alone):
- Drives and Drive sharing
- custom domains
- payments and payment gating
- forking
- proxy routes and service variables
- handles and links
- limits and quotas
- SPA routing
- error handling and remediation
- feature availability
If docs and live API behavior disagree, trust the live API behavior.
If the docs fetch fails or times out, continue with the local skill and live API/script output. Prefer live API behavior for active operations.
Requirements
- Required binaries:
curl,file,jq - Optional environment variable:
$HERENOW_API_KEY - Optional Drive token variable:
$HERENOW_DRIVE_TOKEN - Optional credentials file:
~/.herenow/credentials - Skill helper paths:
${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish.shfor publishing sites${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/drive.shfor private Drive storage
Create a site
PUBLISH="${HERMES_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish.sh"
bash "$PUBLISH" {file-or-dir} --client hermes
Outputs the live URL (e.g. https://bright-canvas-a7k2.here.now/).
Under the hood this is a three-step flow: create/update -> upload files -> finalize. A site is not live until finalize succeeds.
Without an API key this creates an anonymous site that expires in 24 hours. With a saved API key, the site is permanent.
File structure: For HTML sites, place index.html at the root of the directory you publish, not inside a subdirectory. The directory's contents become the site root. For example, publish my-site/ where my-site/index.html exists — don't publish a parent folder that contains my-site/.
What ships with it
2 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.

here-now is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (242,093 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 2,164 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (subtle steering, asks for root, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
