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: 3 findings, up to high
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 →

Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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 | $0.00013 | $0.03876 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01550 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00775 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00388 |
Grade A, and why
shop 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.
commands: [curl, node] How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Shop CLI Skill
Setup
Prefer the installed shop CLI. If package installation is blocked, the reference files mirror every CLI call via the direct API, no local execution needed.
pnpm add --global @shopify/shop-cli # or: npm install --global @shopify/shop-cli
shop --help
To upgrade: pnpm add --global @shopify/shop-cli@latest (or npm install --global @shopify/shop-cli@latest). Uninstall: pnpm rm -g @shopify/shop-cli (or npm rm -g @shopify/shop-cli).
Reference files:
- catalog-mcp.md — direct catalog MCP calls + manual token exchange
- direct-api.md — auth, checkout, and orders API details
- safety.md — safety, security, and prompt-injection rules
- legal.md — personal-use limits and prohibited commercial uses
IMPORTANT: Shopping flow
Every shopping conversation follows this order. Each step links to its rules below; each rule lives in exactly one place.
- Offer sign-in — required once if signed-out, before any product message, then STOP and wait for the user to complete sign-in or decline. → Sign in
- Search the catalog with
shop search. → Searching - Show results — one assistant message per product, then one summary message. → Showing products
- Offer visualization when the item is visual. → Visualization
- Checkout on the merchant domain, only with clear purchase intent. → Checkout
- Orders — tracking, returns, reorder (needs sign-in). → Orders
Commands
Catalog
shop search is the single entry point for catalog discovery: free-text, similar items (--like-id), and visual search (--image). A result's product link is the product page; run get-product for a variant's checkout_url. Use lookup for IDs you already hold (orders, wishlist, reorder); add --include-unavailable to resurface out-of-stock items.
global --country <ISO2> (context signal, NOT a ships-to filter)
--currency <code> (context signal, e.g. GBP; localizes prices)
--format md|json (default to md; be STRONGLY averse to using json - results are huge and it burns lots of tokens)
search [query] --ships-to <ISO2> [--ships-to-region, --ships-to-postal]
--limit 1-50 (keep small), --cursor <c> (next page), --min/--max-price (minor units; 15000 = $150.00)
--condition new,secondhand (default new), --ships-from <ISO2,...> (comma list)
--shop-id <id...>, --category <id...>, --intent <text>
--color/--size/--gender <list> (taxonomy attribute filters; comma lists OR within, AND across)
--like-id <id...> (similar; product or variant gid), --image ./photo.jpg
(query is optional when --like-id or --image is given)
catalog lookup <ids...> --ships-to <ISO2>, --include-unavailable, --condition
catalog get-product <id> --select Name=Label, --preference Name
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.

shop is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (255,586 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 3,876 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.
