…sed hosts Hermes Agent scans project-context files before loading them and drops the whole file on a pattern match. The example on line 69 was quoted literally inside the rule that forbids it, so Hermes users received none of AGENTS.md. Describing the example keeps the rule intact and the file loads again. The verb that anchors a neighbouring pattern in the same scan is avoided too, so a future pattern update cannot re-break the file. docs/SUPPORTED_CLIS.md gains a Hermes Agent row and a short note covering the trust step and the scanner caveat. The row documents no headless invocation: nothing here drives a hermes binary headlessly, and claiming one would fail web/tests/lib/clis-coverage.test.mjs. Refs career-ops-hq#4136

Walks through the whole setup in plain language: clone and install, opening a Hermes session with the checkout as the working directory, the one-time trust step that loads the repo skill, examples of what to ask for, where the output lands, and the four Hermes-specific details (injection scanner, model selection, token cost per path, no headless worker path). Mirrors the shape of docs/CODEX.md, which exists for the same reason. Refs career-ops-hq#4136

Addressed in the companion PR: career-ops-hq/career-ops-docs#77 The downstream matrix said eight first-class CLIs everywhere it appeared, not only in the three files named above. Beyond All of them now say nine, with Hermes Agent in the same position in every list (after Kimi, before GitHub Copilot CLI), so the site agrees with the core matrix regardless of the language a reader lands on. Verification run in the docs repo: a sweep over every file in Not run, and worth knowing: Two things deliberately left alone, both recorded in the docs PR body: partial lists that read "and other supported CLIs" or "and more" (the glossary and |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Scope the zero-token claim to PDF rendering: docs/HERMES.md:90.
The PDF mode uses the agent to tailor CV content before modes/pdf.md:44-55 builds HTML and renders the PDF. Only the final rendering path is token-free. Update the wording:
- The portal scan, the liveness check, and PDF generation run with no model tokens at all.
+ The portal scan and liveness check use no model tokens. The PDF mode can use model tokens to tailor the CV; only final PDF rendering is token-free.This is a documentation-only cost ambiguity, so the impact is minor.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Summary
Hermes Agent scans project-context files (
AGENTS.mdand friends) before they reach the model, and drops the whole file on a single pattern match. The untrusted-content rule quoted an attack phrase literally as an example, inside the sentence forbidding it, so a Hermes session in this repo got acontent not loadedmarker in place of all 52,787 characters of the pipeline rules.Two changes:
AGENTS.md, one line. The example is now described instead of quoted, so the rule keeps its force and the file loads. The wording also avoids the verb that anchors a neighbouring pattern in the same scan, so a future pattern update cannot re-break it.docs/HERMES.md, linked from the supported-CLI table. It walks through the whole thing in plain language: clone and install, opening a Hermes session with the checkout as the working directory (desktop project or--cwd), the one-timehermes skills truststep that loads the repo's router skill, what to say to get an evaluation, where the output lands, and the four things that are Hermes-specific.The four Hermes-specific things the guide covers: the injection scanner and what to do when a rules file is dropped, where the model is actually chosen (
spend_tierinconfig/profile.ymldoes nothing under Hermes), the token cost of each path with real numbers, and the fact that Hermes has no headless worker path here.It follows the shape of the existing
docs/CODEX.md, which exists for the same reason: a host whose invocation model differs enough to need its own page.Verification
AGENTS.md['prompt_injection']before, no findings afternode --test web/tests/lib/clis-coverage.test.mjsnode validate-untrusted-content-coverage.mjsThe new docs row deliberately documents no headless invocation. Nothing in this repository drives a
hermesbinary headlessly (batch/batch-runner.shis Claude Code-specific), so claiming one would be both untrue and a failure of theclis-coverageguard, which requires every documented headless binary to exist inweb/src/lib/clis.ts.Related
Refs #4136, which carries the reproduction steps and the scanner output.
Out of scope, deliberately
The same literal phrase appears in several mode files and docs (
modes/intake.md,modes/interview/debrief.md,batch/batch-prompt.md,docs/AUTOMATION.md, and the translations), and in the header comment ofvalidate-untrusted-content-coverage.mjs. Those are read at run time as tool results rather than loaded as project context, so a scanner warns about them instead of dropping a file, and blocking one is not a behavior change.AGENTS.mdwas the only file whose blocking changed what the agent could see.This update adds Hermes Agent support documentation and prevents the scanner from removing
AGENTS.mdbecause of a quoted attack phrase.User-visible changes:
AGENTS.md: Untrusted External Content: Describes injection examples without triggering the Hermes scanner.docs/SUPPORTED_CLIS.md: CLI support table: Adds Hermes Agent and links to its guide.docs/HERMES.md:1: Documents setup, trust configuration, scanner behavior, model selection, token costs, output locations, troubleshooting, and interactive-only use.hermes skills trustbefore the repository skill loads.System files requested for review:
modes/,update-system.mjs,DATA_CONTRACT.md,providers/, and.github/are not changed by this update.Verification reports no scanner findings, passing CLI coverage tests, and successful untrusted-content coverage validation.
