A workflow for reading very long documents, especially large PDFs, in tracked sections instead of repeatedly loading the whole file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize or answer questions about long documents while keeping track of which page ranges have been covered.
Why use it?
It reduces lost page references, missing early sections, and summaries based on text that was never actually read.

About the project

oh-my-hermes is an operating layer for Hermes Agent that organizes requests into workflows for planning, research, creation, coding handoffs, operations, and project memory. Hermes users run these workflows through the desktop app, CLI, or messenger app, while the catalogue add-ons extend its native capabilities.

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

omh-long-document-reading 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 2d 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.

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.

Long Document Reading

This is a Hermes-native long-document-reading workflow skill.

Why This Exists

long-document-reading exists because a 300-page PDF is about 500,000 characters and Hermes' read_file returns 100,000 per call with no page numbers, re-converting the whole file each time; five unanchored reads then sit in the conversation until the ratio-based compressor summarizes them without a page number, so without a ledger the session either truncates, loses the early ranges to compaction, or claims a summary of pages it never read.

Do Not Use When

  • The document is a research paper and the user wants it explained by level; use omh-paper-learning.
  • The request asks to convert, export, split into a new file, compare two PDFs, or extract tables into CSV; use omh-materials-package.
  • The input is an image, screenshot, receipt, audio, or video rather than a document; use omh-media-input.
  • The user is still looking for the document or its download link; use omh-source-finder.
  • The document fits one read (under about 60 pages of prose); read it directly and answer.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: summarize this 300-page vendor contract pdf and list every obligation with a deadline
  • Expected behavior: Prepare long_document_card/v1: record the page count and scanned flags, plan five 60-page ranges, delegate them with the per-range brief, merge obligations with page anchors, and close with covered / next / missing.
  • Why: The document is far past one read budget and the goal needs page-anchored claims from every range.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: turn this 300-page pdf into a slide deck
  • Expected behavior: Route to materials-package: the user wants a produced file, not a page-anchored reading of the document; the page count alone does not make it a reading request.
  • Why: Reading and producing are different lanes; a deck request is file output work.

Completion Checklist

  • The page count is observed or the card says it is not.
  • Every ledger range is covered, or the missing ranges are listed with a reason.
  • Every claim in the merged answer carries a page anchor.
  • Scanned ranges are read, declined with a reason, or listed as missing.
  • Not-observed boundaries remain visible: page_count, text_extraction, scanned_page_ocr, range_delegation, hosted_ocr, cross_range_consistency.
