catalog-refresh

catalog-refresh is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from srikanthmx/hermes-cli-orchestrator. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,097 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for updating a catalogue of command-line AI agents, language-model providers, and media services. It researches which options currently work in headless mode or offer free, trial, or low-cost access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research candidates, add suitable entries and credentials, configure delegation priorities, verify them, and remove options that no longer help governed task delegation.
Why use it?
These services change frequently, so the catalogue can contain unavailable, unsuitable, or outdated choices unless it is checked and pruned.

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

catalog-refresh 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 2mo 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.

Catalog Refresh — keep the CLI Governor current with the market

The plugin's value is a living catalog. Models and CLIs change monthly (new free tiers, dead ones, new agents). This skill researches what's out there, adds/configures the ones that fit, verifies them, and removes dead weight.

Where the catalog lives

  • CLIs → DEFAULT_CATALOG in dashboard/plugin_api.py.
  • Model providers → PROVIDERS_CATALOG in the same file.
  • Media backends → MEDIA_CATALOG in the same file.
  • Get-key links → each provider/media signup field + the ENV_KEY_URL map in dashboard/dist/index.js.
  • Delegation workers → DELEGATE_ARGV + CODING_PRIORITY in __init__.py, and _DELEGATE_PRIORITY + _CLI_TEST_ARGV in plugin_api.py.
  • Users can also override/extend via ~/.hermes/cli-orchestrator/catalog.json (merged by id; entries there show as custom).

Step 1 — Research (web)

Search for the current state (use the real month/year):

  • AI coding/agent CLIs with a headless / non-interactive mode (e.g. ... -p, ... run, ... exec).
  • Free / free-tier / trial-credit / cheap LLM providers usable as a Hermes model provider (API key or OAuth). Capture per candidate: exact binary name, install command(s) per OS, headless one-shot invocation, auth method (OAuth login vs API-key env var), get-key URL, and free-tier limits / cooldown.

Step 2 — Decide: ADD, KEEP, or REMOVE

Add a CLI only if it has a clean non-interactive headless mode (so it can be a cli_delegate worker). If it's interactive-only, it can still be catalogued for detection but NOT added to DELEGATE_ARGV. Add a provider if it's free/cheap/trial and the user can obtain a key/OAuth. Include tier, signup, limit.

Remove / demote (prune criteria) — this is deliberate, keep the catalog lean:

  • No headless mode → useless as a governed delegate worker (interactive-only pair-programmers).
  • Dead free tier (e.g. Gemini CLI's individual tier ended) → mark legacy or remove.
  • Superseded by a better tool for the same job.
  • Heavy per-tool provider config with no governance benefit over what's already covered.
  • Example already actioned: aider removed — it's an interactive, git-repo-centric pair-programmer, not a clean stateless delegation worker for this plugin's use case.

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.
