hermes-agent-spawning

hermes-agent-spawning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from raphaelmansuy/edgecrab. It costs 55 tokens per session (2,157 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A way to start additional Hermes Agent processes as separate helpers for independent tasks. They can run once without interaction or stay available for a conversation through a terminal session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run parallel coding or research jobs, start autonomous one-off tasks, or open an interactive helper for multi-step collaboration.
Why use it?
It lets separate tasks run independently and for a long time without making one agent handle every task in a single process.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

hermes-agent-spawning scanned grade C 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 6d 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.

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.
