## Dependency Pinning Policy
All dependencies must have upper bounds to limit supply-chain attack surface.
This policy was established after the litellm compromise (PR #2796, #2810) and
reinforced after the Mini Shai-Hulud worm campaign (May 2026).
| Source type | Treatment | Example |
|---|---|---|
| PyPI package | `>=floor,<next_major` | `"httpx>=0.28.1,<1"` |
| Git URL | Commit SHA | `git+https://...@<40-char-sha>` |
| GitHub Actions | Commit SHA + comment | `uses: actions/checkout@<sha> # v4` |
| CI-only pip | `==exact` | `pyyaml==6.0.2` |
**When adding a new dependency to `pyproject.toml`:**
1. Pin to `>=current_version,<next_major` for post-1.0 (e.g. `>=1.5.0,<2`).
2. For pre-1.0 packages, use `<0.(current_minor + 2)` (e.g. `>=0.29,<0.32`).
3. Never commit a bare `>=X.Y.Z` without a ceiling — CI and reviewers will reject it.
4. Run `uv lock` to regenerate `uv.lock` with hashes.
Reference: #2810 (bounds pass), #9801 (SHA pinning + audit CI).

## Adding Configuration

path, and integrate via `hermes memory setup` / `post_setup()` without

### Skill authoring standards (HARDLINE)
Every new or modernized skill — bundled, optional, or contributed —
must meet these standards before merge. Reviewers reject PRs that
violate them.
1. **`description` ≤ 60 characters, one sentence, ends with a period.**
Long descriptions bloat skill listings and dilute the model's
attention when many skills are loaded. State the capability, not
the implementation. No marketing words ("powerful",
"comprehensive", "seamless", "advanced"). Don't repeat the skill
name. Verify with:
```python
import re, pathlib
m = re.search(r'^description: (.*)$',
pathlib.Path('skills/<cat>/<name>/SKILL.md').read_text(),
re.MULTILINE)
assert len(m.group(1)) <= 60, len(m.group(1))
```
2. **Tools referenced in SKILL.md prose must be native Hermes tools or
MCP servers the skill explicitly expects.** When the skill needs a
capability, point at the proper tool by name in backticks
(`` `terminal` ``, `` `web_extract` ``, `` `read_file` ``,
`` `patch` ``, `` `search_files` ``, `` `vision_analyze` ``,
`` `browser_navigate` ``, `` `delegate_task` ``, etc.). Do NOT
name shell utilities the agent already has wrapped — `grep` →
`search_files`, `cat`/`head`/`tail` → `read_file`, `sed`/`awk` →
`patch`, `find`/`ls` → `search_files target='files'`. If the skill
depends on an MCP server, name the MCP server and document the
expected setup in `## Prerequisites`. Anything else (third-party
CLIs, shell pipelines, etc.) is fair game inside script files but
should not be the headline interaction surface in the prose.
3. **`platforms:` gating audited against actual script imports.**
Skills that use POSIX-only primitives (`fcntl`, `termios`,
`os.setsid`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` for liveness, `/proc`, `/tmp`
hardcoded, `signal.SIGKILL`, bash heredocs, `osascript`, `apt`,
`systemctl`) must declare their supported platforms. Default
posture: try to fix it cross-platform first — `tempfile.gettempdir`,
`pathlib.Path`, `psutil.pid_exists`, Python-level filtering instead
of `grep`. Gate to a narrower set only when the dependency is
genuinely platform-bound.
4. **`author` credits the human contributor first.** For external
contributions, the contributor's real name + GitHub handle goes
first; "Hermes Agent" is the secondary collaborator. If the
contributor's commit shows "Hermes Agent" as author (because they
used Hermes to draft the skill), replace it with their actual name
— credit the human, not the tool.
5. **SKILL.md body uses the modern section order.** `# <Skill> Skill`
title, 2-3 sentence intro stating what it does and doesn't do,
`## When to Use`, `## Prerequisites`, `## How to Run`,
`## Quick Reference`, `## Procedure`, `## Pitfalls`,
`## Verification`. Target ~200 lines for a complex skill,
~100 lines for a simple one. Cut redundant intro fluff, marketing
prose, and re-explanations of env vars already in
`## Prerequisites`.
6. **Scripts go in `scripts/`, references in `references/`,
templates in `templates/`.** Don't expect the model to inline-write
parsers, XML walkers, or non-trivial logic every call — ship a
helper script. Reference it from SKILL.md by path relative to the
skill directory.
7. **Tests live at `tests/skills/test_<skill>_skill.py`** and use only
stdlib + pytest + `unittest.mock`. No live network calls. Run via
`scripts/run_tests.sh tests/skills/test_<skill>_skill.py -q`.
8. **`.env.example` additions are isolated to a clearly delimited
block.** Don't touch the surrounding file — contributor-supplied
`.env.example` versions are usually stale and edits outside the
skill's own block must be dropped during salvage.
The full salvage / modernization checklist for external skill PRs
lives in the `hermes-agent-dev` skill at
`references/new-skill-pr-salvage.md` — load it before polishing
contributor skill PRs.
