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.

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 | $0.02850 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.01425 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00570 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00285 |
Grade A, and why
powerpoint 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 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.
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.

Powerpoint Skill
Create, inspect, and edit PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations using the python-pptx library. Five helper scripts cover deck creation from a JSON spec, structured read-back, in-place edits, template-driven brand decks, and slide rendering — all offline, no PowerPoint installation required.
When to Use
- The user asks to build a slide deck, report presentation, or pitch deck.
- You need to extract text, notes, tables, chart data, or images from a .pptx someone shared.
- You need to update an existing deck: replace text, refresh or patch chart data, swap a logo, duplicate/remove/reorder slides, set backgrounds, footers, hyperlinks, or speaker notes.
- You must produce an on-brand deck from a company .pptx template.
- Do NOT use this for .ppt (legacy binary) files — convert them first with
soffice --convert-to pptx old.pptif LibreOffice is available.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ with
python-pptxinstalled (pip install python-pptx). - Optional: LibreOffice (
soffice) plus poppler (pdftoppmorpdftocairo) for rendering slides to PNGs and for PDF export.pptx_render.pydetects both withshutil.whichand degrades gracefully (reports{"rendered": false, "missing": [...]}, exit 0) when absent — all create/read/edit operations work without them. - Check availability via
terminal:python -c "import pptx; print(pptx.__version__)"andwhich soffice pdftoppm.
How to Run
All scripts live in scripts/, take --help, print JSON to stdout, and
exit non-zero on failure. Run them with terminal:
python scripts/pptx_create.py deck.json out.pptx
python scripts/pptx_read.py deck.pptx --outline # full JSON outline
python scripts/pptx_read.py deck.pptx --notes # speaker notes
python scripts/pptx_read.py deck.pptx --images ./img # export pictures
python scripts/pptx_edit.py deck.pptx --replace-text "Old Corp" "New Corp"
python scripts/pptx_edit.py deck.pptx --chart-data update.json
python scripts/pptx_edit.py deck.pptx --duplicate-slide 2
python scripts/pptx_edit.py deck.pptx --remove-slide 3 --move-slide 2 0
python scripts/pptx_from_template.py brand.pptx out.pptx --values vals.json
python scripts/pptx_render.py deck.pptx --outdir ./render # slide PNGs
What ships with it
7 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.

powerpoint is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (242,093 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 2,850 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 2026-09-03.
