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 | $0.00014 | $0.12432 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.04973 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.02486 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.01243 |
Grade F, and why
hermes-agent scanned grade F with 4 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 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
By default (`approvals.mode: manual`), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, etc.). The modes are: Makes network callslowCapability

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
2 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.

hermes-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository RaihanParl/ai-skill (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 12,432 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it F with 4 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-09.
