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

ulw-interview 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.

Deep Interview

This is a Hermes-native deep-interview workflow skill.

Why This Exists

deep-interview exists to stop Hermes from guessing through ambiguous product, workflow, or implementation intent; it converts uncertainty into a clarified brief before planning or handoff.

Do Not Use When

  • The request already has concrete scope, acceptance criteria, and verification commands.
  • The missing information is discoverable from the repository or local artifacts without asking the user.
  • The user asked for immediate read-only analysis and the ambiguity does not change the answer.
  • The ambiguity is specifically repository terminology or project-language alignment; use context and its direct-lookup/frontier boundary.
  • The open question is answerable by a small reversible experiment rather than another interview round; use decision-prototype.

Examples

Good example:

  • Prompt: $deep-interview before planning Discord and Slack routing, ask what each channel owns and what evidence counts.
  • Expected behavior: Ask one decision-changing question at a time, then produce goals, non-goals, and acceptance criteria.
  • Why: The request explicitly rejects assumptions and needs product boundaries before implementation.

Bad example:

  • Prompt: $deep-interview fix this failing test; the traceback and expected behavior are attached.
  • Expected behavior: Proceed to diagnosis or implementation instead of interviewing.
  • Why: The required facts are already available, so more questions would slow the workflow.

Completion Checklist

  • The clarified brief names goals, non-goals, constraints, and one next planning or handoff path.
  • Remaining ambiguity is listed only when it changes the plan, risk, or stop condition.
  • No implementation handoff is prepared until the blocking decision is resolved.

Recovery Notes

  • If an answer surfaces new ambiguity, file it under one of the three clarity dimensions and keep asking only while the round budget allows; once round 6 is reached, record the rest as assumptions and plan.
  • If repo evidence can answer the question, inspect it before asking the user.
