About botmaker

botmaker A Hermes Agent skill + SOUL for a bot whose only job is minting other specialist bots. The loop it enforces: interview → one-screen SOUL draft → human sign-off → scaffold (, pinned brain, file-level skill links) → certification in the child's own chat → documentation in the vault Seeding files is not a bot. Why A SOUL.md dump on a cloned profile is a costume. A specialist has one job, a brain pinned off its own failure path, earned constraints, and a memory it wrote itself. Botmaker exists to make the second kind and refuse the first. What Hermes is Hermes Agent is Nous Research's open-source agent framework: profiles (bots), skills, SOULs, persistent memory, bot-to-bot messaging. Docs: .

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.
