Contributing Optional Skills

To add a new optional skill to the repository:

1. Create a directory under optional-skills/<category>/<skill-name>/
2. Add a SKILL.md with standard frontmatter (name, description, version, author)
3. Include any supporting files in references/, templates/, or scripts/ subdirectories
4. Submit a pull request, the skill will appear in this catalog and get its own docs page once merged

When not to use it

If you need a capability that is already built into the Hermes Agent core (e.g., basic file operations, web requests, or conversation memory), installing an optional skill is unnecessary and adds overhead. The catalog is for domain-specific or advanced functionality that would bloat the base agent. Also, if a skill's prerequisites (like a paid API key, a specific GPU, or a local service) are not met, the skill will fail silently or with confusing errors, so check each skill's documentation before installing.

Limits and gotchas

• Skills are not sandboxed from each other. Installing many skills from different categories may cause naming conflicts or dependency clashes. Uninstall skills you no longer use.
• The hermes skills uninstall command uses the short skill name, not the full path. If two skills share the same short name (unlikely but possible), the uninstall behavior is not documented.
• The catalog is maintained by the community and the Hermes team. A skill's documentation page is the single source of truth for its setup and usage; the table descriptions here are summaries and may be truncated.
• Contributing a skill requires a pull request. There is no CLI command to publish a skill directly.

What pairs with this

• The Hermes Agent installation guide covers setting up the CLI.
• The skills overview explains how skills work in general.
• Each skill's dedicated page (linked in the tables above) has full setup and usage details.
