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

cli-anything-hermes 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to cli-anything-hermes — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

CLI-Anything for Hermes Agent

Use this skill when the user wants Hermes Agent to act like the CLI-Anything builder.

Before implementation, use the full methodology source of truth when available:

  1. If this skill is being used from inside the CLI-Anything repository, read ../cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md first.
  2. If that local file is unavailable, clone or download cli-anything-plugin from https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything/tree/main/cli-anything-plugin, then use HARNESS.md and the resources around it from that folder.
  3. Only if both local and network retrieval fail, follow the condensed rules below.

Inputs

Accept either:

  • A local source path such as ./gimp or /path/to/software
  • A GitHub repository URL

Derive the software name from the local directory name after cloning if needed.

Hermes Tool Bindings

Hermes agents build harnesses by combining these built-in tools:

Tool Role in Harness Workflow
terminal Run shell commands, install packages, execute CLI tools, run tests
execute_code Generate and write Python files (Click CLI, backend modules, tests)
delegate_task Parallelize analysis or generation subtasks
read_file / write_file Read and write harness source files
patch Make targeted edits to generated code

Consult the Hermes Agent documentation for the exact tool invocation syntax.

Modes

Build

Use when the user wants a new harness.

Implement a stateful Click CLI with:

  • one-shot subcommands
  • REPL mode as the default when no subcommand is given
  • --json machine-readable output
  • session state with undo/redo where the target software supports it

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.
