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.

- NVIDIA SkillSpector warn
SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 57 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00015 | $0.01402 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00561 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00280 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
meme-generation 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 26d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Meme Generation
Generate actual meme images from a topic. Picks a template, writes captions, and renders a real .png file with text overlay.
When to Use
- User asks you to make or generate a meme
- User wants a meme about a specific topic, situation, or frustration
- User says "meme this" or similar
Available Templates
The script supports any of the ~100 popular imgflip templates by name or ID, plus 10 curated templates with hand-tuned text positioning.
Curated Templates (custom text placement)
| ID | Name | Fields | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
this-is-fine |
This is Fine | top, bottom | chaos, denial |
drake |
Drake Hotline Bling | reject, approve | rejecting/preferring |
distracted-boyfriend |
Distracted Boyfriend | distraction, current, person | temptation, shifting priorities |
two-buttons |
Two Buttons | left, right, person | impossible choice |
expanding-brain |
Expanding Brain | 4 levels | escalating irony |
change-my-mind |
Change My Mind | statement | hot takes |
woman-yelling-at-cat |
Woman Yelling at Cat | woman, cat | arguments |
one-does-not-simply |
One Does Not Simply | top, bottom | deceptively hard things |
grus-plan |
Gru's Plan | step1-3, realization | plans that backfire |
batman-slapping-robin |
Batman Slapping Robin | robin, batman | shutting down bad ideas |
Dynamic Templates (from imgflip API)
Any template not in the curated list can be used by name or imgflip ID. These get smart default text positioning (top/bottom for 2-field, evenly spaced for 3+). Search with:
python "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/generate_meme.py" --search "disaster"
Procedure
Mode 1: Classic Template (default)
- Read the user's topic and identify the core dynamic (chaos, dilemma, preference, irony, etc.)
- Pick the template that best matches. Use the "Best for" column, or search with
--search. - Write short captions for each field (8-12 words max per field, shorter is better).
- Find the skill's script directory:
SKILL_DIR=$(dirname "$(find ~/.hermes/skills -path '*/meme-generation/SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1)") - Run the generator:
python "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/generate_meme.py" <template_id> ~/.hermes/cache/scratch/meme.png "caption 1" "caption 2" ... - Return the image with
MEDIA:~/.hermes/cache/scratch/meme.png
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.

meme-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (254,120 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 1,402 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 2026-08-30.
