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 | $0.00016 | $0.00783 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00313 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00157 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
openhue scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

OpenHue CLI
Control Philips Hue lights and scenes via a Hue Bridge from the terminal.
Prerequisites
# Linux (pre-built binary — releases ship tarballs, not bare binaries)
curl -sL "https://github.com/openhue/openhue-cli/releases/latest/download/openhue_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz" \
| tar -xz -C ~/.hermes/cache/scratch openhue \
&& install -m 0755 ~/.hermes/cache/scratch/openhue ~/.local/bin/openhue
# (use openhue_Linux_arm64.tar.gz on ARM64)
# macOS
brew install openhue/cli/openhue-cli
First run requires pressing the button on your Hue Bridge to pair. The bridge must be on the same local network.
When to Use
- "Turn on/off the lights"
- "Dim the living room lights"
- "Set a scene" or "movie mode"
- Controlling specific Hue rooms, zones, or individual bulbs
- Adjusting brightness, color, or color temperature

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.

openhue is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (256,246 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 783 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
