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

setup-control-room 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (assets/bootstrap.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.

What it actually says

Setup Control Room

Use this skill to turn an SSH-accessible VPS into a tooled Agent Control Room box.

It installs core tools, clones the Agent Control Room template, and links bundled skills.

Triggers

  • "set up control room"
  • "bootstrap the vps"
  • "install hermes"
  • "install agents on the vps"
  • "set up the agent box"
  • "configure vps for agents"
  • /setup-control-room

Inputs

  • SSH_ALIAS: required unless discoverable from local SSH config.
  • CONTROL_ROOM_PATH: default /root/agent-control-room.
  • CONTROL_ROOM_REPO: default https://github.com/shannhk/hermes-agent-control-room.git.

Prerequisites

Before running:

  1. Confirm ssh <alias> works.
  2. Confirm target is Ubuntu or Debian.

If SSH does not work, stop and tell the user to create/fix the VPS first.

Flow

  1. Smoke test SSH:
ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 <alias> 'echo connected as $(whoami) on $(hostname); lsb_release -a'

  1. Copy assets/bootstrap.sh to the VPS.

  2. Run the bootstrap script:

ssh <alias> '/tmp/bootstrap-control-room.sh' 2>&1 | tee /tmp/control-room-bootstrap.log
  1. Report installed versions and next steps.

What The Bootstrap Installs

  • base packages: curl, ca-certificates, git, tmux, htop
  • Node.js 22
  • Claude Code
  • Codex CLI
  • Docker
  • Hermes Agent best-effort install
  • Agent Control Room repo at /root/agent-control-room
  • symlinks from bundled skills into ~/.claude/skills

What This Skill Does Not Do

  • It does not handle Claude Code OAuth.
  • It does not handle Codex auth.
  • It does not complete the Hermes interactive wizard.
  • It does not write secrets.
  • It does not create specialist containers.

Those are intentionally left for the user or a later agent setup flow.

Final User Instructions

After bootstrap, tell the user:

ssh <alias>
claude /login
codex
hermes
cd /root/agent-control-room
cat README.md

Also remind them that interactive auth should happen in a real SSH terminal.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
