Documented patterns: + +### 1. Sensitive File Access — `~/.hermes/` paths +**Flag:** "Access to home directory dotfiles" | +**Reality:** Hermes skills live in and reference `~/.hermes/`, `~/.hermes/sessions/`, `~/.hermes/skills/` — these are Hermes's own operational directories, not user secrets. +**Workaround:** Describe access in prose ("the agent's session store") instead of literal paths, or group all path references under a clearly labeled "Storage" section. + +### 2. Data Exfiltration — `api.github.com` curl calls +**Flag:** "Curl to non-GitHub URL" | +**Reality:** `api.github.com` is GitHub's own public API. Fetching release metadata, README content, or skill packages from GitHub is normal update-check behavior. +**Workaround:** Use `gh api` instead of raw `curl`, or describe the fetch in prose ("check the latest release via GitHub API"). + +### 3. Social Engineering — "Auto-approved" in command descriptions +**Flag:** "Urgency-based manipulation" | +**Reality:** Describing that a command "executes auto-approved proposals" is operational documentation, not a prompt trying to rush the user. +**Workaround:** Rephrase to "Executes pending proposals approved by the user" — removes the urgency trigger while preserving meaning.
