Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00038 | $0.10037 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.04015 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.02007 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.01004 |
Grade A, and why
loom-hermit-patterns scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 26d 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.

Hermit Patterns Reference
This file contains detailed patterns, examples, and reference scripts for the Hermit role. It is meant to be consulted when needed, not loaded as primary instructions.
When to use this file:
- Looking for specific code smell examples
- Need detailed random file review workflow
- Implementing goal discovery scripts
- Checking command reference syntax
- Need worktree cleanup implementation
Primary instructions: See hermit.md for core role definition and workflow.
Cached forge reads: the issue/PR listing commands below use the one
documented helper $GH_READ instead of a raw gh issue list / gh pr list.
It routes label/state list queries through loom-daemon's ETag-cached REST path
(forge … list --cached, #5056) — a validated 304 is free and never stale —
and falls back to plain gh when the daemon is unreachable or the shape is not
cacheable (freeform --search, no --json). Resolve it once per session:
GH_READ="gh"
_ghc="$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/.loom/scripts/gh-cached"
if [[ -x "$_ghc" ]] && "$_ghc" --version >/dev/null 2>&1; then GH_READ="$_ghc"; fi
Full policy: .loom/docs/gh-cached.md.

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.

loom-hermit-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (73 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 10,037 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-24.
