Hermes Skills 🧠⚡

Reusable skills and tools for Hermes Agent — your AI's procedural memory.

Hermes Agent is an open-source AI assistant framework that can use tools, run code, and persist context across sessions. This repo is a collection of skills: packaged expertise that gives Hermes domain-specific capabilities on demand.

What is a Skill?

A skill is a reusable knowledge module — the AI equivalent of a plugin. Each skill includes:

• SKILL.md — structured instructions with when-to-use/not-use guidance, exact commands, workflows, and common pitfalls
• Scripts — CLI tools or Python code the agent executes
• References — API docs, config templates, and supporting material

When you ask Hermes to do something, it scans its available skills and loads the relevant ones. A skilled agent doesn't just answer — it has a battle-tested playbook for that specific task.

How Skills Work in Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent discovers skills from ~/.hermes/skills/. When an agent encounters a task matching a skill's domain, it loads the SKILL.md automatically — giving it expert-level instructions, code, and gotchas without manual prompting.

Skills are:

• Reusable — use the same skill across sessions and tasks
• Composable — load multiple skills for complex workflows
• Versionable — each skill is a directory tracked by git
• Shareable — drop a skill directory into any Hermes setup
