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 Agent - Development Guide Instructions for AI coding assistants and developers working on the hermes-agent codebase. This root file holds only what applies everywhere. Each area has its own `AGENTS.md` (aim for ~8k chars; `agent/subdirectory_hints.py` delivers up to 32k and truncates head/tail with a warning past that); see the **routing table** at the end and read the area file before editing in that area. **Never give up on the right solution.** ## What Hermes Is Hermes is a personal AI agent that runs the same agent core across a CLI, a messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ~20 platforms), a TUI, and an Electron desktop app. It learns across sessions (memory + skills), delegates to subagents, runs scheduled jobs, and drives a real terminal and browser. It is extended primarily through **plugins and skills**, not by growing the core. Two invariants shape almost every design decision and are the lens for reviewing any change: - **Per-conversation prompt caching is sacred.** A long-lived conversation reuses a cached prefix every turn. Anything that mutates past context, swaps toolsets, reloads memories, or …

How to install
mdr add modem-dev/ossrules/public/files/hermes/AGENTS.md@sha256:752c0d1f165fe1e8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.2f0132e, 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.
