Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.00906 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00362 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00181 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00091 |
Grade A, and why
local-knowledge-router 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 1mo 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.

Local Knowledge Router
When to use
Use this skill before guessing paths or doing broad file searches when a user asks about local or private operational knowledge, including:
- installed or custom Hermes skills and their support docs;
- generated tool OKFs, runbooks, operational docs, and memory docs;
- helper scripts and automation entry points;
- cron jobs and scheduled maintenance;
- MCP servers and wrapper scripts;
- service workflows in the configured local source tree.
The plugin indexes whole artifacts. It identifies the first artifact to inspect; it does not replace reading that source.
Workflow
-
Search for the user's intent:
knowledge_search(query="backup runbook", limit=8) knowledge_search(query="paperless review automation", limit=8) knowledge_search(query="siyuan mcp wrapper", limit=8) -
Fetch the best artifact before acting:
knowledge_get(artifact_id="skill:example-skill", include_neighbors=true)Use
knowledge_neighborsseparately when graph context will help:knowledge_neighbors(artifact_id="cron:daily-review", limit=20) -
Inspect the routed source of truth:
skill→ load it withskill_view.script→ read the script and help text before running it.tool_okf→ use it as routing context, then inspect the live tool schema/docs before high-impact calls.runbook,memory_doc,doc, orskill_support_doc→ read the file before changing systems.cron_job→ verify the live cron registry before mutating jobs.mcp_server→ inspect the live wrapper/config before troubleshooting.
-
Check freshness when it matters. Managed lookups rebuild an index that is missing, corrupt, older-format, or marked dirty by completed tool-OKF publication. Activity-driven background refresh picks up ordinary changes after the last successful build is one hour old by default (
index_max_age_seconds: 0disables it). Old valid results may be returned while maintenance runs; this is not a freshness deadline. When those changed recently or results look stale, force a rebuild:
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.

local-knowledge-router is a skill published in the GitHub repository stepanov1975/hermes-local-knowledge (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 906 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

mnemosyne-memory-override
Stricter, user-selected override that forces Mnemosyne for all durable memory storage, including small standing rules. Apply it only when the user has consciously chosen this policy; installation, this skill appearing in the skills index, or an ordinary memory task is not that choice. Without it, the default applies…
