What it does

Hep Search is an agent skill from agentlas-ai/Agentlas-OS. Search Agentlas Cloud and Hub agent candidates without invoking.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Agent OS: keep specialist agents in a hub, spin up a temporary orchestrator per task. Local-first, works with any model. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/hep-search”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Show sections.cloud.results first, then sections.hub.results.
  2. For each candidate include rank, name, slug, description, callable/routing
  3. Do not invoke any agent. If the user wants to run exact agents next, use
  4. Include receipt_id in the final line.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd3cd3a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hep Search loads about 635 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~635

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Search Agentlas Cloud and Hub agent candidates without invoking.

Update fallback: 자동 업데이트가 안 되면 hephaestus update를 한 번 실행하세요. 업데이트하지 않아도 현재 버전 명령은 그대로 동작합니다.

Find matching agents without calling them. Return two sections: my Agentlas Cloud packages first, then the public Agentlas Hub.

The request is the exact text the user typed after /hep-search.

How to run

Run the shell block below verbatim, replacing only the REQUEST value. The runner is resolved by absolute path — nothing to install, nothing to add to PATH.

Guardrails: do NOT diagnose command not found/PATH, do NOT edit ~/.zshrc, and do NOT create/commit/stash/push any git branch or claim you did. This workflow changes no source files and invokes no agent. If the runner is missing, say so and stop — never fabricate results.

bash
REQUEST="<replace with the exact text the user typed after /hep-search>"

case "$REQUEST" in
  "<replace"*) echo "REQUEST placeholder not filled — substitute the user's request first." >&2; exit 2 ;;
esac

RUNNER=""
for candidate in \
  "$HOME/.agentlas/runtime/current/bin/hephaestus" \
  "./bin/hephaestus"
do
  if [ -n "$candidate" ] && [ -x "$candidate" ]; then RUNNER="$candidate"; break; fi
done
if [ -z "$RUNNER" ]; then
  for cache in "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/agentlas-core-engine/hephaestus" \
               "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/plugins/cache/agentlas-core-engine/hephaestus"; do
    newest="$(ls -d "$cache"/*/bin/hephaestus 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)"
    if [ -n "$newest" ] && [ -x "$newest" ]; then RUNNER="$newest"; break; fi
  done
fi
[ -n "$RUNNER" ] || { echo "Hephaestus runtime not found. Run the installer first." >&2; exit 1; }
if [ "${HEPHAESTUS_AUTH_AUTOPOPUP:-1}" != "0" ]; then
  "$RUNNER" auth ensure >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
fi
"$RUNNER" search "$REQUEST" --runtime "${AGENTLAS_HOST_RUNTIME:-terminal}" --limit 10

Answer shape

  1. Show sections.cloud.results first, then sections.hub.results.
  2. For each candidate include rank, name, slug, description, callable/routing status, and why it matched.
  3. Do not invoke any agent. If the user wants to run exact agents next, use /hep-call agent-slug-1, agent-slug-2 {context}.
  4. Include receipt_id in the final line.

Examples

text
/hep-search 시장 리포트 써야 하는데 쓸만한 에이전트 찾아줘
/hep-search find agents for ASO review replies
