hermes-self-evaluation — Use when the user asks to evaluate, audit, or optimize Hermes itself — analyzing session history, skill library, costs, and architecture to identify improvements, automation opportunities, and system optimizations. Covers generating structured analyst prompts for external (stronger) models to review Hermes's own performance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hermes Self-Evaluation Use this skill when the user asks to audit, review, or optimize Hermes's own performance — analyzing session data, skills, configuration, costs, and usage patterns to identify improvements, automation opportunities, and system optimizations. **Don't use for:** skill content quality grading (use skill-auditor instead), one-off task analysis, or session artifact indexing after a work session (use session-artifact-indexing). ## Overview The core workflow: gather live evidence about Hermes's state and history → validate each finding against the subsystem's actual semantics and control surface → either produce a direct evidence-backed review or compose a structured analyst prompt for an independent model → verify recommendations before implementation. External models are useful anomaly detectors and critics, but they are not automatically reliable root-cause analysts. Separate the observed symptom, supported interpretation, confirmed producer/root cause, and proposed change. Before acting on any self-check finding, ## When to Use Triggers: - "How can we improve Hermes?" - "Analyze my sessions and tell me what to optimize" …

How to install
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/hermes-self-evaluation@sha256:f3eb1f6600daebbaThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
