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 | $0.00017 | $0.01675 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00838 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00335 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00168 |
Grade A, and why
stripe-link-cli 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 2d 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.

Stripe Link CLI Skill
Wraps @stripe/link-cli so Hermes can complete purchases on the user's behalf using one-time-use virtual cards or Shared Payment Tokens (SPT). Every spend is gated by an in-app approval in the Link mobile/web app — Hermes cannot self-approve.
US-only at the moment (Link account requirement). Windows is not supported by the upstream CLI — this skill is gated [linux, macos].
When to Use
Trigger phrases:
- "buy X", "pay for X", "make a purchase", "complete checkout"
- "get me a card", "I need a payment method"
- "log in to Link", "connect my Link wallet"
- HTTP 402 response from a merchant API with
www-authenticate: ... method="stripe"
If the user wants a paid API call (HTTP 402, no checkout form), the card path is wrong — use SPT via this same skill, or hand off to the mpp-agent skill.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ available on
PATH(node --version) - US-based (Link account requirement)
The Link account, payment method, and spend-approval app do NOT need to be set up before Hermes attempts to pay — the CLI walks the user through them on first run:
- A Link account at https://app.link.com — created/linked during first
link-cliauth - At least one payment method — added during first run at https://app.link.com/wallet
- The Link mobile/web app — opened to approve the first spend request when it's made
No env vars required — auth state is stored locally by the CLI under its own config directory.
Install
Install once, globally:
npm install -g @stripe/link-cli
Or invoke ad-hoc via npx @stripe/link-cli. The skill below uses the installed link-cli form.
How to Run
All commands run through the terminal tool. The CLI auto-detects non-TTY callers and emits compact toon output by default — fine for the model. Pass --format json if a step needs structured fields.
Discover commands: link-cli --llms-full.
Get a command's schema before invoking: link-cli <command> --schema.
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.

stripe-link-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (241,505 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,675 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.
