Skills System
Skills are capability modules that extend Hermes beyond its native tools. Hermes also creates its own skills automatically after solving complex tasks, encapsulating knowledge for future reuse.
The client manages their skills from Telegram:
/skills browse → explore the skills hub
/skills install notion → install Notion skill
/skills list → see installed skills

Auto-creation of skills
Hermes creates skills automatically. After solving a complex task for the first time, it documents the procedure as a reusable skill. The next time something similar is needed, it applies it directly without redoing the work.
Example:
First time: "Extract all contacts from my Gmail and pass them to Airtable"
→ Hermes solves it (takes 3 minutes)
→ Hermes creates the "gmail-to-airtable-sync" skill
Second time: takes 10 seconds
Compatibility with agentskills.io
Hermes skills are compatible with the open standard agentskills.io, which means community-created skills for other compatible agents also work in Hermes.
