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 | $0.00020 | $0.01740 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00696 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
maps 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 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.
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.

Maps Skill
Location intelligence using free, open data sources. 8 commands, 44 POI categories, zero dependencies (Python stdlib only), no API key required.
Data sources: OpenStreetMap/Nominatim, Overpass API, OSRM, TimeAPI.io.
This skill supersedes the old find-nearby skill — all of find-nearby's
functionality is covered by the nearby command below, with the same
--near "<place>" shortcut and multi-category support.
When to Use
- User sends a Telegram location pin (latitude/longitude in the message) →
nearby - User wants coordinates for a place name →
search - User has coordinates and wants the address →
reverse - User asks for nearby restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies, hotels, etc. →
nearby - User wants driving/walking/cycling distance or travel time →
distance - User wants turn-by-turn directions between two places →
directions - User wants timezone information for a location →
timezone - User wants to search for POIs within a geographic area →
area+bbox
Prerequisites
Python 3.8+ (stdlib only — no pip installs needed).
Script path: ~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py
Commands
MAPS=~/.hermes/skills/maps/scripts/maps_client.py
search — Geocode a place name
python $MAPS search "Eiffel Tower"
python $MAPS search "1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC"
Returns: lat, lon, display name, type, bounding box, importance score.
reverse — Coordinates to address
python $MAPS reverse 48.8584 2.2945
Returns: full address breakdown (street, city, state, country, postcode).
nearby — Find places by category
# By coordinates (from a Telegram location pin, for example)
python $MAPS nearby 48.8584 2.2945 restaurant --limit 10
python $MAPS nearby 40.7128 -74.0060 hospital --radius 2000
# By address / city / zip / landmark — --near auto-geocodes
python $MAPS nearby --near "Times Square, New York" --category cafe
python $MAPS nearby --near "90210" --category pharmacy
# Multiple categories merged into one query
python $MAPS nearby --near "downtown austin" --category restaurant --category bar --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 · 196 lines · 20 tokens per session scan A 775ef9f79be9
maps is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (255,268 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,740 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from…

Present multiple design options as a vertical stack of anchored turns.
notion
Search, read, create, and update Notion pages via the Notion MCP.
content-engine
Create platform-native content systems for X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, newsletters, and repurposed multi-platform campaigns. Use when the user wants social posts, threads, scripts, content calendars, or one source asset adapted cleanly across platforms.
article-writing
Write articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues, and other long-form content in a distinctive voice derived from supplied examples or brand guidance. Use when the user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph, especially when voice consistency, structure, and credibility matter.
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…
