Diagnose and repair Hermes Agent SKILL.md skillA

Diagnose and repair Hermes Agent from howdeploy/deploychan_mcp is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add howdeploy/deploychan_mcp/Diagnose and repair Hermes Agent@git:20261018.2713262

Pins git:20261018.2713262 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use for diagnosing, repairing or optimizing a Hermes installation, especially after an update, skill-library changes, instruction conflicts, software failures or repeated checkpoint errors; also audit agent claims against retained tool and log evidence. Do not apply as a mandatory preflight for unrelated tasks performed by Hermes.

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 maintenance

Work on the requested installation and symptom. An audit does not authorize changing
settings; a repair does not authorize deleting procedures, clearing conversations,
rewriting identity or disabling unrelated automation. Preserve existing authorization
and verification limits. This skill adds no requirement for extra agents or model calls.

## Select a branch

Retrieve only the relevant guide through this MCP's `get_item(item_id)`:

| Symptom | Item to retrieve |
|---|---|
| Wrong profile, stale code/prompt, update conflict or suspected bad commit | `hermes-runtime-and-upgrades` |
| Uncertain software availability, launch history, silent failures or unsupported agent claims | `hermes-runtime-and-upgrades` |
| Skills multiply, lose categories, disappear, or contradict memory/project instructions | `hermes-skills-and-context` |
| Checkpoint failures, missing paths, unexpected Git work or long task latency | `hermes-checkpoints-and-latency` |

For an ordered maintenance engagement, retrieve route `hermes-repair-and-optimization`
with `get_item`, or use `onboard` with a Hermes repair goal and follow its returned IDs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add howdeploy/deploychan_mcp/Diagnose and repair Hermes Agent@sha256:93ec519295c96d31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.2713262, 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.
