pebble-setup

pebble-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from skyf0xx/Pebble. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and usage guide for Pebble, a browser-based chat interface that connects to the Hermes agent API. Its single launcher serves the interface and forwards API requests to Hermes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Pebble, connect it to Hermes, update its launcher or plugin, check health, and resolve chat connection problems.
Why use it?
It explains the prerequisite API server and the commands needed to install, update, launch, and diagnose the chat interface.

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

pebble-setup 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pebble for Hermes Agents

Pebble is a static PWA chat interface that talks to your Hermes HTTP API. The Pebble launcher is a single self-contained binary: the web app and the Hermes plugin are embedded in it, so there's no clone, no npm, no Node. It serves the app and reverse-proxies /api/*, /v1/*, and /health to Hermes, so the browser never makes a cross-origin request.

Prerequisite: a running Hermes API server. Check with curl http://localhost:8642/health — it should return {"status": "ok", "platform": "hermes-agent"}. If it doesn't, enable the API server in ~/.hermes/.env and restart the gateway:

grep -q '^API_SERVER_ENABLED=' ~/.hermes/.env || echo "API_SERVER_ENABLED=true" >> ~/.hermes/.env
grep -q '^API_SERVER_KEY='     ~/.hermes/.env || echo "API_SERVER_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)" >> ~/.hermes/.env
hermes gateway restart && sleep 3 && curl http://localhost:8642/health

(If chat turns fail even though /health is ok, the agent has no model/tools configured yet — run hermes setup --portal.)

Updating? Same steps — re-run step 1 (latest binary) then step 2 (relaunch reinstalls the plugin); hermes gateway restart if the plugin changed. No config migration. (The pebble:pebble-update skill is just a pointer back here.)

1. Download the binary into permanent storage (once) - ignore if already downloaded

Install it under ~/.hermes/bin/ — next to the agent it serves, and out of any ephemeral working directory so it survives across sessions. Skip if you already have it; re-run to update.

mkdir -p ~/.hermes/bin
# pick your platform: pebble-macos-arm64, -macos-x64, -linux-x64, -linux-arm64, -windows-x64.exe
curl -L https://github.com/skyf0xx/Pebble/releases/latest/download/pebble-macos-arm64 \
  -o ~/.hermes/bin/pebble && chmod +x ~/.hermes/bin/pebble

2. Start Pebble

lsof -ti:5173 | xargs kill -9 2>/dev/null; sleep 1   # free the port first
~/.hermes/bin/pebble

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.

pebble-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository skyf0xx/Pebble (22 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,105 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
