hermes-agentfs-setup

hermes-agentfs-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rhtevan/agentfs. It costs 23 tokens per session (1,505 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A configuration guide that lets Hermes Agent, a command-line and desktop coding assistant, find skills stored by AgentFS, a shared skill library used by Goose and other tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register the shared user skill folder and specific project skill folders in Hermes.
Why use it?
Hermes normally searches only its own skill folder, so shared user and project skills would otherwise be missed or duplicated.

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 A, and why

hermes-agentfs-setup 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Hermes Agent — AgentFS Compatibility Setup

Configure Hermes Agent so it discovers AgentFS skills, making the same skill library available to both Goose and Hermes without duplication.

Problem

AgentFS stores skills at two levels:

Scope Path Goose Hermes (default)
USER ~/.agents/skills/ ✅ native ❌ not scanned
PROJECT .agents/skills/ (CWD) ✅ native ❌ not scanned

Hermes only scans ~/.hermes/skills/ by default. It supports additional paths via skills.external_dirs in ~/.hermes/config.yaml, but nothing is configured out of the box.

What This Skill Fixes

USER scope — adds ~/.agents/skills to skills.external_dirs so Hermes discovers every SKILL.md under ~/.agents/skills/ alongside its own ~/.hermes/skills/.

PROJECT scope — registers a specific project's .agents/skills/ directory (as an absolute path) in skills.external_dirs. This is a per-project action because Hermes has no CWD-relative skill scanning — there is no way to configure a single relative path that follows the working directory. Each project must be registered individually.

Compatibility Matrix (After Setup)

Feature Goose Hermes
AGENTS.md from CWD ✅ native (default #1) ✅ native (priority #2)
~/.agents/skills/ (USER) ✅ native ✅ via external_dirs
.agents/skills/ (PROJECT) ✅ native (auto) ✅ via external_dirs (manual per-project)
SKILL.md format ✅ YAML frontmatter ✅ same format

Prerequisites

  • Hermes Agent installed (~/.hermes/ exists with config.yaml)
  • AgentFS initialized (~/.agents/skills/ exists — run agentfs-setup skill in USER scope if needed)

Steps

Step 1: Check Current Compatibility

bash ~/.agents/skills/hermes-agentfs-setup/scripts/setup.sh --check

Reports USER and PROJECT status, registered project paths, and any issues to fix.

Step 2: USER Setup

bash ~/.agents/skills/hermes-agentfs-setup/scripts/setup.sh

Files

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.

Changes

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.
