Awesome Hermes Agent Skills
A safety-gated index of Hermes-compatible skills. Five named jobs first. Not a 1,000-skill dump.
Independent curation. Not official Nous Research.
Official skill docs: Skills · Creating skills · agentskills.io
This is an awesome list of the web, not a marketing page for our packs.
0xNyk and VoltAgent are directories — start there to browse, not to install. This list is the start set: five named workflows, then SkillSpector, then one install. Ninety seconds: GETTING_STARTED.md. Agents: docs/earned.json. Always-do: docs/LIST-CONTRACT.md.

Safety gate
Skills are becoming package managers for behavior. Read QUALITY-AND-SAFETY.md before copying anything into a live profile.
- Open the primary repo. Confirm a real
SKILL.mdand a license. - Read the skill for hidden fetch/write/env/approval-bypass instructions.
- Scan with NVIDIA SkillSpector.
- Install into a throwaway profile first.
- Human-gate money, deploys, credentials, and public posts.
Quarantine: OpenClaw/ClawHub dumps, unsigned ZIP/S3 skill blobs, wallet/broadcast-tx packs without a dry-run + spend cap, and “install our 300–2,000 skills” operating systems.
How to install a skill
- Install Hermes: official installation
- Clone or copy one skill folder containing
SKILL.mdinto your Hermes skills directory- Windows: often
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\skills\ - macOS/Linux: often
~/.hermes/skills/ - Profile-scoped skills may live under the profile home
- Windows: often
- New session / reload skills; invoke by skill name
Prefer the project’s own README for exact install (hermes skills install …, npx skills add …, etc.). Do not npx skills add an entire 1,000-skill catalog into a production profile.
