# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Cron prompt injection scanning of skill content, plus one delegate feature

## Open now

- 0 issues, 1 PR open on GitHub.
- PR #54701: feat(delegate): add skills parameter to delegate_task

Three of the four members concern scanning skill content in cron prompts for prompt injection (one issue report and two fix PRs). The remaining member, adding a skills parameter to delegate_task, is a feature that appears only loosely related, and the titles do not show whether it is connected to the cron scanning work.

## TL;DR
