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: 48 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00018 | $0.04395 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.02197 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00879 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00439 |
Grade A, and why
neuroskill-bci 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 11d 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.

NeuroSkill BCI Integration
Connect Hermes to a running NeuroSkill instance to read real-time brain and body metrics from a BCI wearable. Use this to give cognitively-aware responses, suggest interventions, and track mental performance over time.
⚠️ Research Use Only — NeuroSkill is an open-source research tool. It is NOT a medical device and has NOT been cleared by the FDA, CE, or any regulatory body. Never use these metrics for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
See references/metrics.md for the full metric reference, references/protocols.md
for intervention protocols, and references/api.md for the WebSocket/HTTP API.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ installed (
node --version) - NeuroSkill desktop app running with a connected BCI device
- BCI hardware: Muse 2, Muse S, or OpenBCI (4-channel EEG + PPG + IMU via BLE)
npx neuroskill statusreturns data without errors
Verify Setup
node --version # Must be 20+
npx neuroskill status # Full system snapshot
npx neuroskill status --json # Machine-parseable JSON
If npx neuroskill status returns an error, tell the user:
- Make sure the NeuroSkill desktop app is open
- Ensure the BCI device is powered on and connected via Bluetooth
- Check signal quality — green indicators in NeuroSkill (≥0.7 per electrode)
- If
command not found, install Node.js 20+

What ships with it
3 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.
- 11d ago First seen · 455 lines · 18 tokens per session scan A 0b7aad0d0987
neuroskill-bci is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (244,059 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 4,395 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 2026-08-30.
