About hermes-agent-self-evolution

🧬 Hermes Agent Self-Evolution Evolutionary self-improvement for Hermes Agent. Hermes Agent Self-Evolution uses DSPy + GEPA (Genetic-Pareto Prompt Evolution) to automatically evolve and optimize Hermes Agent's skills, tool descriptions, system prompts, and code — producing measurably better versions through reflective evolutionary search. No GPU training required. Everything operates via API calls — mutating text, evaluating results, and selecting the best variants. $2-10 per optimization run. How It Works GEPA reads execution traces to understand why things fail (not just that they failed), then proposes targeted improvements. ICLR 2026 Oral, MIT licensed.

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
