hermes-self-evolution SKILL.md skillA

hermes-self-evolution from lu1sdv/skillsmd is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/hermes-self-evolution@git:20260424.3addf1c

Pins git:20260424.3addf1c in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Replicate the Hermes Agent self-evolving loop for agents that should learn from experience: persistent declarative memory, session recall, agent-managed procedural skills, and post-task review that creates or patches reusable skills. Use when designing, evaluating, or operating an AI agent workflow that should save durable user/project facts, recall prior conversations, turn successful non-trivial workflows into skills, and improve stale skills during use.

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

# Hermes Self Evolution

Implement the Hermes-style learning loop: keep user-facing work on the critical path, then persist only the durable knowledge that will reduce future steering. Treat the system as four cooperating surfaces:

1. **Memory**: compact, always-on facts about the user, environment, project conventions, and stable tool quirks.
2. **Session search**: on-demand recall of past conversations and completed task history.
3. **Skills**: procedural memory for reusable workflows, pitfalls, exact commands, and verification steps.
4. **Background review**: a post-response reviewer that decides whether memory or skills should be updated.

Use the host agent's equivalent tools. In Hermes these are `memory`, `session_search`, `skills_list`, `skill_view`, and `skill_manage`. In other agents, map them to persistent notes, transcript search, and local `SKILL.md` edits.

## Operating Loop

### 1. Start-of-turn recall

Before asking the user to repeat context:

- If the user references a previous discussion, an earlier decision, "last time", "again", "that bug", "the setup we used", or a stale remembered fact, search prior sessions first.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/hermes-self-evolution@sha256:45bfbff4c7b3ddad

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.3addf1c, 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.
