README (SKILL.md)

Hermes Agent Bridge

This skill allows OpenClaw to delegate tasks or ask questions directly to a standalone Hermes Agent installed on the same system via its CLI interface.

Description

Use this skill when you need to leverage Hermes Agent's fast response times, its specific configured personas, or its local terminal tools. This acts as a bridge where OpenClaw asks Hermes to process a prompt and return the result.

Usage

Run the following bash command using the exec tool, passing the prompt as a string. Note that we rely on hermes being in the PATH (e.g., ~/.local/bin/hermes).

~/.local/bin/hermes chat -q "your prompt here"

Examples

If the user asks you to "ask Hermes to write a quick script" or "see what Hermes thinks about this":

  1. Call the exec tool:

    • command: ~/.local/bin/hermes chat -q "Write a quick Python script to monitor system load"

  2. Read the stdout of the exec result, which contains Hermes's answer, and relay it back to the user.

Usage Guidance
This skill delegates user prompts to a locally installed 'hermes' CLI by running it via the exec tool. Before installing: (1) confirm you actually have and trust the local Hermes binary (the skill metadata should list it as a required binary but does not); (2) avoid sending secrets or sensitive data in prompts because they will be forwarded to the local agent; (3) be aware the agent can invoke the skill autonomously and thus call the local CLI without further prompts; and (4) consider asking the skill author to add a required-binaries declaration (hermes) and a note about what the Hermes instance may access (files, network, tools). If you do not trust the local Hermes installation or cannot ensure prompts won't contain sensitive data, do not enable this bridge.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: hermes-bridge Version: 1.0.0 The hermes-bridge skill is a straightforward integration that allows the OpenClaw agent to delegate tasks to a local CLI tool named 'hermes'. The instructions in SKILL.md and skill.json are consistent with the stated purpose, and there are no indicators of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or obfuscation.

Capability Assessment
ℹ Purpose & Capability
The SKILL.md clearly expects a local 'hermes' CLI (e.g., ~/.local/bin/hermes or in PATH) and instructs using it; however the skill metadata lists no required binaries. The declared requirements do not match the runtime dependency the instructions rely on.
ℹ Instruction Scope
Instructions tell the agent to run an exec tool to invoke the local hermes CLI with a user-provided prompt and relay stdout. This stays within the stated purpose (delegation) but grants the agent the ability to execute arbitrary local commands via the exec tool and to send user prompts to the local Hermes instance — a possible vector for unintended data disclosure if prompts include secrets or if Hermes itself runs local tools.
✓ Install Mechanism
No install spec or code is included (instruction-only), so nothing will be written to disk by the skill package itself.
ℹ Credentials
The skill declares no environment or credential requirements, which is consistent with being a thin bridge. However, because it relies on invoking a local hermes binary (not declared), the skill implicitly trusts that local executable and any credentials or permissions it has — the metadata should have declared the binary dependency.
✓ Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request special persistent privileges. Autonomous invocation is allowed by default; combined with the exec delegation this means the agent could call the local hermes CLI without additional prompts if allowed by platform policies (expected behavior, but worth reviewing).
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install hermes-bridge
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /hermes-bridge
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
