Lets a Hermes agent turn a task it keeps repeating into a tested, reusable skill, using askit to lint, scan, test and score the result before sharing it. Use when the same kind of request comes up more than twice, or when the user asks the agent to save a workflow as a skill.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill forge for Hermes

A playbook for an agent that notices repeated work and captures it as a skill, with checks that do not depend on
the agent's own opinion of its work.

## When to use

- The same request, or the same sequence of steps, has come up three times.
- The user says "remember how to do this" or "make this a skill".
- A workflow took many tool calls and would be much shorter with a script.

## Loop

1. **Search first.** Look through installed skills and memory for something that already covers the task.
   Extend an existing skill instead of writing a near copy.
2. **Abstract.** Remove details that belong to one run: names, paths, dates. Decide the inputs, the output
   and what should happen on bad input.
3. **Write.** Create `~/.hermes/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` with frontmatter (name, description, license, metadata)
   and short instructions. Add `scripts/` when code is more reliable than prose.
4. **Test.** Add a `cases.json` file inside a `tests` folder with a happy path, an edge case and an error case, then run the checks:

   ```bash
   askit lint ~/.hermes/skills/<name>
   askit scan ~/.hermes/skills/<name>
   askit test ~/.hermes/skills/<name>
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lethe044/agentskill-kit/skill-forge@sha256:59b4bd4ed71693ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
