Best Tools for Discovering & Managing Hermes Skills

“Users who want to browse, retrieve, evolve, or bulk-install skills at scale rather than add a single-purpose skill.”

the picks — 6

AMAP-ML / SkillClawregistry top pick

★ 2.5K

A genuinely different mechanism: runs in the background, deduplicates, and cross-pollinates your skill library across agents, devices, and users instead of just hosting a list.

install

git clone https://github.com/AMAP-ML/SkillClaw.git, run scripts/install_skillclaw.sh, activate the venv, then run skillclaw setup.

works withStandalone Python CLI/daemon; integrates with Hermes, Codex, Claude Code, and OpenAI-compatible APIs — not a drop-in SKILL.md.

wondelai / skillscollection

★ 2.0K

62 skills built from 50 named business and design frameworks (Jobs-to-be-Done, the Mom Test, Refactoring UI) rather than generic prompts — a business-strategy layer to sit alongside a coding skill set.

install

npx skills add wondelai/skills --all --global (or pick individual skills, e.g. npx skills add wondelai/skills/jobs-to-be-done --global).

works withskills.sh / agentskills.io-compatible clients including Claude Code and Hermes; also ships Claude Code plugin collections.

mohitagw15856 / pm-claude-skillscollection

★ 1.3K

1,000+ professional skills as plain markdown, the largest non-security collection here — organized into 120+ installable bundles instead of one all-or-nothing install.

install

npx pm-claude-skills add

works withClaude Code plugin directory + Hermes Agent (plain markdown skills run natively); also exposes an MCP server.

armelhbobdad / bmad-module-skill-forgeskill

★ 93

Turns your own repo, docs, and developer discourse into agentskills.io-compliant skills with file/line provenance citations — for teams standardizing internal skills, not consuming someone else's.

install

npx bmad-module-skill-forge install

works withNode.js >= 22, Python >= 3.10, uv required; IDE-agnostic scaffolding tool, not Hermes-specific.

willingning-coder / eagle-eyeplugin

★ 33

Five-layer retrieval (hard triggers, FTS5, synonyms, dense embeddings, RRF fusion) built to solve Hermes' own skill-selection problem once your skills directory gets large — the most Hermes-native entry in this group.

install

git clone https://github.com/willingning-coder/eagle-eye.git, then run python scripts/generate_config.py.

works withHermes Agent plugin; optional dense-embedding dependencies for the retrieval layers.

aidevelopers2 / remoteopenclaw-mcpregistry

★ 3

Searches 13,000+ MCP servers and 4,000+ agent skills from the terminal with no API key — the widest single search surface in this category, though it's discovery-only, not an installer.

install

Add remoteopenclaw (npx -y remoteopenclaw) under mcp_servers in Hermes' config; for Claude Code: claude mcp add remoteopenclaw -- npx -y remoteopenclaw.

works withMCP server — any MCP client (Hermes, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code) via mcp_servers config.

how we picked

These are curated by hand, not scraped or ranked by an algorithm. Every entry is a project already accepted into the Atlas catalog; the install command is copied out of that project's own README (not inferred), the compatibility line reflects what the README actually claims to support, and the verdict says what this pick does that its neighbours don't. Star counts come live from the GitHub API on each build. Updated 2026-08-20 · tested against Hermes v0.20.4.

faq

What is the best Hermes Agent skill for discovering & managing hermes skills?

AMAP-ML/SkillClaw. A genuinely different mechanism: runs in the background, deduplicates, and cross-pollinates your skill library across agents, devices, and users instead of just hosting a list. Install it with: git clone https://github.com/AMAP-ML/SkillClaw.git, run scripts/install_skillclaw.sh, activate the venv, then run skillclaw setup.

How do I install Hermes skills?

From the Hermes CLI. Running hermes skills install owner/repo/skills/name installs a single skill; hermes skills tap add owner/repo registers a whole repository as a tap, so every skill inside it becomes available. Plugins use hermes plugins install owner/repo --enable. Skills that follow the agentskills.io spec but aren't published to the Skills Hub can be added with npx skills add owner/repo, or cloned straight into your skills directory. Every entry on this page carries the exact command from its own README.

How current are these picks?

Updated 2026-08-20 · tested against Hermes v0.20.4. The picks are curated by hand — install commands are read out of each project's README rather than generated, and star counts are refreshed from the GitHub API on every build.
