This repository curates install-ready skills, plugins, and tools for the Hermes AI agent (v0.17.0) and compatible systems (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, Windsurf). It addresses the challenge of expanding an AI agent's capabilities by providing a vetted, organized catalog, enabling users to quickly enhance their agent's functionality and productivity without extensive searching or integration effort.

How It Works

The project functions as a curated directory, categorizing and tagging over 250 skills (built-in, optional, community) by maturity (production, beta, experimental). It emphasizes quality and ease of integration, offering direct installation commands and highlighting skills that solve common problems or introduce novel capabilities, such as advanced YouTube content processing.
