Category Breakdown¶
Developer Utilities (11 official Hermes skills)¶
These 11 skills from the official nousresearch/hermes-agent repo fill important gaps in our catalog. They cover email (himalaya), content monitoring (blogwatcher), deployment (cloudflare-temporary-deploy), coding delegation (codex), desktop automation (computer-use), creative tools (creative-ideation), publishing (here.now), memory (honcho), personalization (petdex), academic writing (research-paper-writing), and Chinese platform integration (yuanbao).
Key finds: - honcho - Cross-session memory is the backbone of persistent agent identity. This skill was inexplicably missing from the catalog. - blogwatcher - RSS/Atom feed monitoring enables automated content discovery without API keys. - himalaya - Terminal-based email is essential for headless agent email operations. - petdex - Animated mascots add personality to the agent experience.
Hermes Ecosystem (23 skills)¶
The aradotso/hermes-skills repo is a dedicated community hub for Hermes Agent extensions. These 23 skills span agent infrastructure (control room, mission control, self-evolution), desktop interfaces (macOS native client, HUD UI), integrations (Obsidian kanban, Feishu streaming), and education (ecosystem maps, edu skills).
Key finds: - hermes-agent-self-evolution - Autonomous improvement patterns for Hermes agents - hermes-labyrinth-observability - Production-grade monitoring for agent deployments - hermes-desktop-os1-native-macos-client - Full native macOS Hermes experience - deepseek-openclaw-integration - Integration for DeepSeek models with agent operations
Security (15 ClawSec skills)¶
The prompt-security/clawsec repo provides the first comprehensive security toolkit for agent ecosystems. While targeting Claw/OpenClaw, the prompt injection detection, supply chain verification, and traffic monitoring are universally applicable to Hermes deployments.
