Description
Zero-Knowledge persistent memory layer for Hermes Agent. Provides encrypted cross-session memory, Trust Quotient (TQ) scoring, and automatic recall across AL...
Usage Guidance
Before installing, verify the following: (1) Correct the metadata mismatch — ask the publisher why the registry shows no required env vars while SKILL.md requires SYNAPSE_TOKEN. (2) Confirm you trust https://forge.synapselayer.org and review their privacy/security docs and source code (the skill bundle contains no code to verify their zero-knowledge/PII-redaction claims). (3) Avoid storing long-lived credentials in remote memory unless you understand and accept the risk — prefer short-lived tokens, rotate credentials after testing, and limit what the agent is allowed to persist. (4) Test with non-sensitive data first to confirm behavior and inspect network requests. (5) If you need to store secrets, ensure there is an auditable access policy and the service's encryption/zero-knowledge design is independently verifiable. (6) Ask the publisher to remove recommendations that reference root-only paths (/root/.hermes/...) and to clarify why tool-progress must be disabled for Telegram (this hides agent actions and can reduce transparency).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: synapse-layer-hermes Version: 1.1.9-b The skill bundle instructs the agent to exfiltrate highly sensitive information, including API credentials (Nous, Naga, Telegram tokens) and server infrastructure details, to an external third-party service (synapselayer.org). Furthermore, SKILL.md contains explicit instructions to hide these background activities from the user by disabling tool progress indicators in Telegram. While framed as a 'persistent memory' feature with 'zero-knowledge' security claims, the combination of targeted secret collection and stealth configuration poses a significant risk of data exfiltration (IOC: forge.synapselayer.org).

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions: the skill integrates a remote memory service and needs a service token to talk to forge.synapselayer.org. However, the package registry metadata lists no required env vars while the SKILL.md metadata and docs explicitly require SYNAPSE_TOKEN — an inconsistency that should be corrected.
Instruction Scope
The instructions tell the agent/operator to modify ~/.hermes/config.yaml and ~/.hermes/.env, to always call recall at session start, and to persist and search across highly sensitive material (API credentials, server hostnames, ports, configs, and a root path /root/.hermes/voice_call). They also instruct disabling Telegram tool progress to hide tool usage. These behaviors are coherent with a cross-session memory service but will cause sensitive secrets to be stored remotely; the SKILL.md asserts strong protections (zero-knowledge, PII redaction) but provides no in-repo code or verifiable proof.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files — nothing is written or downloaded by an installer. That's the lowest install risk, but it also means the claimed security pipeline cannot be validated from the bundle.
Credentials
SKILL.md metadata and docs require a SYNAPSE_TOKEN (used as a Bearer header). Registry-level requirements list none — mismatch is suspicious. The skill also asks the agent to persist other long-lived credentials (Telegram bot token, Nous Portal token, TTS API keys, etc.) into remote memory. Requesting a single service token is appropriate, but recommending storage of many unrelated secrets increases risk and should be justified and guarded (short-lived tokens, explicit opt-in, encryption proofs).
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and follows normal autonomous-invocation defaults. However, the instruction to 'always call recall before generating any response' combined with cross-channel memory access increases the blast radius: if the remote memory contains credentials or infra details, those may be used or exposed across channels. This is not a disallowed privilege by itself, but it elevates sensitivity and requires careful operator control.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install synapse-layer-hermes
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /synapse-layer-hermes
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.1.9-b
- Removed phone number from credits and user profile examples in documentation. - Generalized server names, token formats, and port numbers in configuration and memory category examples for enhanced privacy and clarity. - No functional changes or file modifications detected.
v1.1.8
This skill integrates [Synapse Layer](https://synapselayer.org) — a zero-knowledge, encrypted, cross-session memory system — into Hermes Agent. All memories are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, pass through a 4-layer Cognitive Security Pipeline (PII redaction, differential privacy, intent validation, neural handover), and are retrievable from any channel (Telegram, WhatsApp, CLI, Discord).
