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 | $0.02581 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00516 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00258 |
Grade A, and why
xlsx 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Xlsx Skill
Work with Excel .xlsx workbooks using Python and openpyxl: build styled multi-sheet workbooks with formulas and charts, inspect or dump existing files, edit cells and structure, and convert to/from CSV. All helper scripts are argparse CLIs that print JSON and use explicit UTF-8 I/O.
When to Use
- Creating .xlsx reports: multiple sheets, number formats, styling, merged cells, freeze panes, autofilter, conditional formatting, charts, data-validation dropdowns, native Excel tables, defined names, hyperlinks, cell notes, sheet protection.
- Reading a workbook: sheet inventory, dumping data as JSON or CSV, listing formulas vs cached values, notes, defined names, tables.
- Editing existing files: set cells, append rows, insert/delete
rows/columns (reference-aware via
xlsx_restructure.py), copy/rename sheets, tables, names, notes, protection. - Recalculating formulas headlessly via LibreOffice
(
xlsx_recalc.py). - CSV interop with type inference and non-UTF-8 encodings.
- Not for the legacy .xls binary format (use LibreOffice to convert
first:
soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx old.xls).
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ with
openpyxl(pip install openpyxl). No other third-party packages are needed; everything else is stdlib. - Optional: LibreOffice (
soffice) for headless recalculation or format conversion.
How to Run
Run the helper scripts with the terminal tool from this skill's
scripts/ directory (every script supports --help):
python scripts/xlsx_create.py spec.json report.xlsx # build from JSON spec
python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --sheets # inventory
python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --json --sheet Data
python scripts/xlsx_read.py report.xlsx --formulas
python scripts/xlsx_edit.py report.xlsx --sheet Data --set B2=42 --recalc
python scripts/xlsx_restructure.py report.xlsx --sheet Data --insert-rows 3:2
python scripts/xlsx_recalc.py report.xlsx
python scripts/csv_to_xlsx.py data.csv out.xlsx --encoding utf-8
python scripts/xlsx_to_csv.py report.xlsx out.csv --sheet Data

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.

xlsx is a skill published in the GitHub repository NousResearch/hermes-agent (242,680 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 2,581 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.
