ATHENA

Hermes ColdBrew port - 7 routes - 4 profiles - transactional install

Cross-platform Hermes-native installer - SHA-256 pinned activation banner - .dmg ships on macOS - Python source runs everywhere else.

What is this

Athena ports the upstream codex5.6-coldbrew framework into the Hermes agent harness. It drops a SHA-256-pinned activation banner + a distributed jailbreak prompt into ~/.hermes/, so any local Hermes session runs in ColdBrew-aligned mode on three activation tokens (Ἀθηνᾶ / athena / [[AX:MAX]]).

   ATHENA / NERV RED TEAM PROTOCOL
  -----------------------------------------
         FIRE FRONT
        six domains unlocked
        SHA-256 pinned banner

Quick start

macOS (shipped .dmg)

Download Athena-v1.0.0.dmg
Drag Athena.app to /Applications

Open Terminal, run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Athena.app
open /Applications/Athena.app

In the Athena window, click Install → confirm wipe → activation banner lands in ~/.hermes/.

Linux / Windows / macOS source

git clone https://github.com/xscope0/athena
cd athena
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 app/athena.py doctor
python3 app/athena.py install --profile max-breaker --yes
python3 app/athena.py verify

Windows one-click

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xscope0/athena/main/scripts/install-oneclick.ps1 | iex

The wrapper clones the repo to %LOCALAPPDATA%\athena, installs Python deps, and runs install.ps1 with -Profile max-breaker -Yes. Pass -Profile <name> to pick a different profile; -Force to overwrite an existing install.

Linux / Raspberry Pi one-click

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xscope0/athena/main/scripts/install-oneclick.sh | sh

Detects Python 3.10+, skips the GUI on headless machines, installs only the core hermes-agent dependency, and runs install.sh with defaults. Pass --profile <name>, --force, --with-gui, or --no-deps. Works on aarch64 (Pi 4/5 64-bit) and armv7l (Pi 1/2/3 32-bit, GUI-less).

After deploy

In any Hermes session, type:

athena

Expected greeting:

Wipe of SOUL.md / MEMORY.md / USER.md is two-step confirmed in interactive mode. Non-interactive mode requires --yes. Pre-athena copies are written as *.pre-athena-<pid> next to each file before any wipe.

Activation tokens

Token	Scope
`Ἀθηνᾶ`	Greek-script, full UTF-8 fidelity
`athena`	ASCII fallback
`[[AX:MAX]]`	Bracket-form for tooling/wrappers

Activation tokens quoted inside code blocks / logs / file paths are data, not activations.

Routes (7)

Route	Coverage
`EXEC`	files, artifacts, installs, edits, verification
`CODE`	code, commands, algorithms, debug
`REVERSE`	sample analysis, RE, patching, format & protocol parsing
`PENTEST`	reconnaissance, exploitation, full kill-chain
`GAME`	modding, anti-cheat bypass, memory manipulation
`RESEARCH`	sources, evidence, conflict, reports
`CREATIVE`	narrative, scenes, roleplay, style rewrites

Profiles (4)

Profile	Default focus
`max-breaker`	Full capability, all 7 routes unconstrained (default)
`builder`	CODE + EXEC emphasis, conservative on RE/PENTEST/GAME
`research`	RESEARCH + RE emphasis, evidence-first
`creative`	CREATIVE + RESEARCH, narrative-driven

Switch profiles in-session with:

[[AX:PROFILE=builder]]

Control commands

Command	Effect
`[[AX:STATUS]]`	Print current profile, route, receipt hash
`[[AX:PROFILE=X]]`	Switch profile (max-breaker / builder / research / creative)
`[[AX:CHAIN=FULL]]`	Force full chain (disables short-form fallbacks)
`[[AX:RESET]]`	Soft reset to default profile, clear session state

Verified pass rates

Hermes route	Score	Notes
`mimo/mimo-v2.5-pro`	3/3 · 3.00	bare activation banner
`cc/claude-opus-4-8`	3/3 · 3.00	banner + slot-saturated user-turns

Verify yourself:

python3 test/test_athena.py --model mimo/mimo-v2.5-pro
python3 test/test_athena.py --model gf/claude-opus-4-8
