hermes-agent-skill-authoring — Author in-repo SKILL.md: frontmatter, validator, structure.
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
# Authoring Hermes-Agent Skills (in-repo) ## Overview There are two places a SKILL.md can live: 1. **User-local:** `~/.hermes/skills/<maybe-category>/<name>/SKILL.md` — personal, not shared. Created via `skill_manage(action='create')`. 2. **In-repo (this skill is about this case):** `<repo>/skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md` — committed, shipped with the package. Use `write_file` + `git add`. `skill_manage(action='create')` does NOT target this tree. ## When to Use - User asks you to add a skill "in this branch / repo / commit" - You're committing a reusable workflow that should ship with hermes-agent - You're editing an existing skill under `<repo>/skills/` (use `patch` for small edits, `write_file` for rewrites; `skill_manage` still works for patch on in-repo skills, but not for `create`) ## Required Frontmatter Source of truth: `tools/skill_manager_tool.py::_validate_frontmatter`. Hard requirements: - Starts with `---` as the first bytes (no leading blank line). - Closes with `\n---\n` before the body. - Parses as a YAML mapping. - `name` field present. - `description` field present, ≤ **1024 chars** (`MAX_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH`). - Non-empty body after the closing `---`. …

How to install
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/hermes-agent-skill-authoring@sha256:c10167c1698e03f1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
