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 | $0.00095 | $0.02829 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.01414 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00566 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00283 |
Grade B, and why
hermes-remote scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
**This wrapper covers a deliberately narrow slice:** status, model, env list (read-only), config get/set, cron CRUD, and one-shot chat. It does NOT wrap a local CLI — there is no `hermes` remote-control CLI to fall back How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
hermes-remote
Remote CLI for talking to a Hermes Agent deployment over its REST API. Stdlib-only Python 3. No pip installs.
The binary lives at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../bin/hermes-remote inside this plugin, and bin/ is auto-added to PATH when the plugin is enabled — so call it as hermes-remote.
When to reach for this
- The user asks about the state of a remote Hermes instance (status, model, crons, env).
- The user wants to pause, resume, trigger, or delete a Hermes cron job.
- The user wants to create a new cron — always use the skillify pattern below, not a prompt-only job.
- The user wants to inspect which env vars Hermes can see vs has missing.
For one-shot chat calls (/v1/chat/completions), use hermes-remote chat "<prompt>" — needs HERMES_CHAT_API_KEY set (distinct from the admin password).
hermes-remote chat "status?" # quick one-shot
hermes-remote chat --model anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5 ... # override per-call
hermes-remote chat --max-tokens 200 "..." # cap output
hermes-remote chat --system "Be terse." "what is k8s?" # add system prompt
hermes-remote chat --json "..." # full response body
For multi-turn conversations or streaming, use an OpenAI-compatible SDK pointed at $HERMES_URL/v1 — this wrapper is for one-shot calls and cron-friendly scripting.
When NOT to use this — fall back to the Hermes REST API directly
This wrapper covers a deliberately narrow slice: status, model, env list (read-only), config get/set, cron CRUD, and one-shot chat. It does NOT wrap a local CLI — there is no hermes remote-control CLI to fall back to. "Fall back" here means hit the Hermes REST API directly with curl (or http.client / requests) using the same cookie + bearer token flow hermes-remote uses internally. There is no other route.
Specific cases where you should talk to the Hermes endpoint directly, not through hermes-remote:
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.

hermes-remote is a skill published in the GitHub repository osouthgate/agent-plus-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 2,829 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

cloud-administration
Administers the cloud the company runs on rather than the one it sells — tenant and subscription structure, the SaaS estate and who owns each app, identity as the real perimeter, cloud spend that arrives as a surprise, and what the provider does not do for you.

Use this to segment a network, set up or fix remote access, diagnose intermittent connectivity, plan addressing or DNS, or assess whether the network's trust assumptions still hold.
telephony-and-conferencing
Runs voice and meeting infrastructure — phone systems and numbers, emergency calling obligations, conference rooms and their AV, call recording and its retention consequences, and the porting that makes provider changes go badly. Use this to replace a phone system, fix rooms nobody can start a meeting in, meet…
