The idea in one minute

Start with meaning, then move to detail.

This lesson explains Requesting Code Review — Pre-commit review: security scan, quality gates, auto-fix as part of operating Hermes with explicit security boundaries. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.

If you are new

If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?

For hands-on use

For practice, inspect the first example, identify its effects, run it on test data, and compare the result with the source claim.

For specialists

For advanced readers, inspect Skill metadata, Reference: full SKILL.md, When to Use, then verify failure modes and version compatibility.

What do you need first?

You only need to know which files and accounts the agent may access.

What will you know?

A clear outcome before you read.

  • Understand Requesting Code Review — Pre-commit review: security scan, quality gates, auto-fix without assumed prior knowledge.
  • Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
  • Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.
Lesson terms

Short definitions before the details.

Skill
An instruction bundle that teaches Hermes a repeatable workflow without necessarily adding an external service.
Approval & sandbox
Approval pauses a sensitive action before execution; sandboxing limits impact if something goes wrong.

Try it now

Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.

Match every command to your installed Hermes version, review the files and accounts it can reach, and use non-sensitive data for the first test. If this explanation differs from the source, the official source wins.
