The collection features eight skills covering the full development lifecycle, from requirement analysis to deployment, with deep integration of Hermes-specific capabilities like slash commands, persistent memory, and multi-tool coordination.", "body_md": "**Body:**\n\nHey everyone 👋\n\nI've been building ** hermes-agent-skills** — a production-grade skill collection for\n\nSkills aren't static YAML. The built-in `EvolutionEngine`\n\ntracks 5 health dimensions (usage frequency, success rate, user corrections, freshness, command validity), assigns a health score, and tells you which skills are rotting. Think of it as `npm audit`\n\nfor your AI assistant's capabilities.\n\nDrop a `SOUL.md`\n\nin your Hermes config — naming conventions, comment density, architecture preferences, commit style — and every skill that touches code output adapts to it. `hermes-skill soul generate`\n\nbootstraps one in one command. The `persona-aware-coding`\n\nskill reads it at runtime so your agent writes code that actually looks like *you* wrote it.\n\n```\nhermes-skill create my-workflow     # scaffold a standards-compliant SKILL.md\nhermes-skill validate skills/       # validate against the Agent Skills Standard\nhermes-skill list skills/ -f json   # enumerate with health metadata\nhermes-skill soul generate          # bootstrap a persona file\n```\n\n**What's in the box (v1.1.0):**\n\n| Skill | Phase | Hermes-only Feature |\n\n|---|---|---|\n\n| `requirement-analyzer`\n\n| Define | Persistent memory across sessions |\n\n| `spec-driven-dev`\n\n| Spec | `/skills`\n\nchain forming workflows |\n\n| `test-driven-dev`\n\n| Build | `delegate_task`\n\nparallel test execution |\n\n| `debugger-coordinator`\n\n| Verify | `browser`\n\n+ `terminal`\n\n+ `vision`\n\ntri-tool |\n\n| `code-quality-guardian`\n\n| Review | `patch`\n\nauto-fix + `/curator`\n\ntracking |\n\n| `cicd-orchestrator`\n\n| Ship | `cronjob`\n\nscheduling + `webhook`\n\ntriggers |\n\n| `skill-curator`\n\n| Evolve | Direct `/curator`\n\nintegration |\n\n| `persona-aware-coding`\n\n| Identity | Native SOUL.md persona system |\n\n**Why this is different:** Most agent skill collections are portable but shallow — they can't use any platform's unique superpowers. These skills go deep on Hermes specifically: slash commands, delegate_task, persistent memory, vision+browser+terminal coordination, cron jobs, webhooks. But the *format* follows the open Agent Skills Standard — anyone can fork, remix, or build their own.\n\n**Install:**\n\n```\npip install hermes-agent-skills\nhermes skills tap add Ow1onp/hermes-agent-skills\n```\n\nRepo: [https://github.com/Ow1onp/hermes-agent-skills](https://github.com/Ow1onp/hermes-agent-skills)\n\n46 tests, MIT license, Python 3.10+.\n\nWould love feedback — especially from people who've tried building their own skills.
