How to install a skill

1. Install Hermes: official installation
2. Clone or copy a skill folder containing SKILL.md into your Hermes skills directory
   • Windows: often %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\skills\
   • macOS/Linux: often ~/.hermes/skills/
   • Profile-scoped skills may live under the profile home
3. New session / reload skills; invoke by skill name

Prefer the project's own README for exact install (hermes skills install …, npx skills add …, etc.).

Skill libraries & standards

Hermes-native skills & plugins

agentskills.io & cross-harness packs

These install on Hermes and often Claude Code / Cursor / OpenClaw / Codex.

Domain skill packs

Skill factories & evolution

Related tools (skills-adjacent)

Not pure SKILL.md packs, but skill operators use them constantly:

August 2026 research additions

External projects below were resolved through the GitHub repository and README.md APIs on 2026-08-06. Stars are an approximate, date-bound discovery signal—not an installation recommendation. Read the project’s current documentation, license, and security posture before adopting anything.

6-Pillar curation lens

This lens describes how we evaluate an operator skill after web-first evidence, repository ownership, license posture, and install path—not instead of them.

Small open-core packs we ship for free. These are not “the list” — the list above is the list.

git clone https://github.com/frankxai/awesome-hermes-agent-skills.git
cp -R awesome-hermes-agent-skills/skills/todo-discipline ~/.hermes/skills/

Rule: stranger can run it with no private secrets → free. Brand/production CoE kits stay gated elsewhere.

Skill Portfolio OS

How we classify free vs gated vs product (ops for maintainers of this tree):

→ docs/skill-portfolio-os/

Especially: CLASSIFICATION.md · PUBLISH-PLAYBOOK.md · STORAGE-TAXONOMY.md

Contributing

• Add web skills with: link, one-line why, maturity, and that it actually has a SKILL.md / install path.
• Prefer PRs that improve discovery of others' work.
• Own packs must stay secret-free and portable.
• Agent/UI/deploy entries → awesome-hermes-agents.
• See CONTRIBUTING.md · GETTING_STARTED.md
