What the reviewer found

Reference SKILL.md for the Hermes Agent CLI. The curl install line pulls from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com, the vendor's own domain; the rm -rf text is Hermes documenting its own destructive-command approval prompts, not a command run by this file; and sudo loginctl enable-linger is normal systemd setup. Worth flagging: Hermes has a documented 'yolo'/approvals.mode:off setting that skips all destructive-command confirmations, which the installer should know about before enabling it.

• installs-software — installs software
• network — calls the vendor’s API

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
