Description
NousResearch Hermes Agent CLI integration. Core capabilities: - Self-improving skill system - Persistent memory (FTS5 + LLM summaries) - Sub-agent delegation...
README (SKILL.md)
Hermes Agent Skill
Call NousResearch Hermes Agent via CLI.
Prerequisites
Hermes CLI must be installed. See https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent for installation.
Usage
Quick Q&A
hermes run "your question" --non-interactive --no-stream
With Context
hermes run "question" --context-file ./ctx.md --non-interactive
Sub-agent Delegation
hermes run "use delegate_task to: research topic" --non-interactive --no-stream
Memory
hermes memory search "keyword"
hermes memory notes list
hermes memory notes add "note content"
Skills
hermes skills list
hermes skills create "name" --description "desc"
Status
hermes status
hermes doctor
Configuration
Edit ~/.hermes/.env to set your LLM provider key.
Edit ~/.hermes/config.yaml to set model and provider.
File Access Scope
This skill only invokes hermes CLI commands. No direct file operations.
Hermes Agent operates within ~/.hermes/ only.
Usage Guidance
This skill itself only runs the Hermes CLI — it does not request secrets or write files outside ~/.hermes/ — but Hermes can perform browser automation, spawn sub-agents, run code, and will use any LLM provider key you put in ~/.hermes/.env. Before installing/use: (1) verify you trust and install Hermes from the official repository URL referenced in SKILL.md; (2) review the contents of ~/.hermes/ and the .env file so you know which API keys are stored and used; (3) avoid putting high-privilege credentials in ~/.hermes/.env (use scoped or test keys); (4) consider running Hermes and this skill in a sandbox or with manual approval for sensitive operations (delegation, code execution, browser automation); (5) when in doubt, test with a non-sensitive account and inspect Hermes' behavior first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: hermes-agent-v2
Version: 2.1.1
The skill bundle is a standard CLI integration for the NousResearch Hermes Agent. It provides documentation and command examples for interacting with the 'hermes' CLI tool, such as 'hermes run' and 'hermes memory'. While the underlying tool possesses high-risk capabilities like code execution and browser automation, these are consistent with its stated purpose as an AI agent, and the SKILL.md file contains no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description claim a Hermes CLI integration and the SKILL.md + _meta.json consistently instruct calling the `hermes` CLI; required binaries/configs align with that purpose (no unrelated credentials or tools requested).
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs invoking Hermes CLI commands (run, memory, skills, status). It does not itself instruct reading arbitrary host files or requesting extra env vars. However, those Hermes commands can accept context files and cause sub-agents, browser automation, or code execution — so the runtime behavior depends on the external Hermes binary and the data you pass it.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no included code — lowest-risk packaging. The skill relies on an already-installed `hermes` CLI (meta.json suggests a `which hermes` check).
Credentials
The skill declares no required env vars or credentials. It does advise editing `~/.hermes/.env` to set an LLM provider key — reasonable for a CLI agent, but that means credentials live in the user's home config (outside the skill). The skill itself does not request unrelated secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
always: false and no special persistence requested. Model invocation is allowed (platform default). Be aware: allowing autonomous invocation plus Hermes' delegation/code-execution features increases the potential impact of actions Hermes is asked to perform, but that is a characteristic of the external tool rather than the skill bundle.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install hermes-agent-v2 - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/hermes-agent-v2 - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v2.1.1
- Major simplification: Documentation and scripts have been removed; only core hermes CLI integration remains.
- All helper scripts and reference guides deleted; only essential usage and installation instructions are included.
- Security and file access descriptions clarified: skill only calls hermes CLI and accesses ~/.hermes/.
- LICENSE file added; documentation now focuses on basic usage and configuration.
v2.1.0
1、SKILL.md 添加 security 字段，明确文件访问范围
2、error_callback 改为仅输出到 stderr
v2.0.0
**Hermes Agent v2.0.0 – Major upgrade to portable, scriptable integration**
- Rebuilt skill as a fully portable, script-driven Hermes Agent integration: no hardcoded paths, easy migration between Claw/WorkBuddy instances
- Added detailed Chinese-language setup/configuration guide with automated install (`install_hermes.sh`), API key setup, and troubleshooting
- Introduced wrapper and delegate CLI scripts for unified command handling and subagent delegation
- Provided comprehensive CLI reference, best practices, and cost guidance
- File structure and documentation now focused on CLI/multi-platform workflows; legacy workspace seeding/memory/promotion files removed
