Bundled Skills Catalog

Hermes ships with a large built-in skill library copied into~/.hermes/skills/on install. Each skill below links to a dedicated page with its full definition, setup, and usage.

~/.hermes/skills/

Hermes also syncs bundled skills onhermes update, but the sync manifest respects local deletions and user edits. If a skill listed here is missing from your profile’s~/.hermes/skills/tree, it is still shipped with Hermes; restore it withhermes skills reset --restore.

hermes update ~/.hermes/skills/ hermes skills reset <name> --restore

If a skill is missing from this list but present in the repo, the catalog is regenerated bywebsite/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py.
