Awesome Hermes Agent
Curated skills, tools, integrations, and resources for Hermes Agent, the self-improving agent from Nous Research.
Hermes Agent is the open-source agent maintained by Nous Research. Awesome Hermes Agent is
0xNyk's independent open-source directory for the optional skills, plugins, memory
providers, surfaces, and bridges around it. This directory is not an official Nous Research
project.
Ecosystem status (last reviewed: 2026-07-16)
Where Do I Start?
Three steps from zero to productive:
- Run Hermes: Official docs quickstart (install, CLI, first chat).
- Add skills: wondelai/skills (broad library) or litprog-skill (literate programming).
- Add a surface: hermes-workspace (Hermes GUI) or mission-control (fleet / dispatch dashboard).
Then use the full list. Every entry has a maturity tag:
| Tag |
What it means |
| production |
Stable, documented, actively maintained; safe to build on |
| beta |
Works but still evolving; expect some rough edges |
| experimental |
Proof of concept or early-stage; learn before depending on it |
Tags are editorial snapshots based on documentation, setup evidence, maintenance, and
adoption signals. Re-check the linked project before depending on it.
Check the trust boundary
An ecosystem listing is a discovery aid, not a security endorsement. Before enabling a
community skill, plugin, MCP server, or unattended job, verify who can trigger it, which
tools it receives, where commands execute, what credentials it can read, and how you can
stop it. Prefer the smallest toolset and an isolated backend for untrusted work.
Use the official security guide,
tools reference,
and cron documentation
for the current controls.
For the operator routine around /new, /resume, /compress, /branch, export, and
pruning, use the Hermes Agent session management guide.

Skills & Plugins
Skills are procedural memory — reusable capabilities that Hermes creates from experience and improves during use. Plugins extend core functionality.
- [beta] hermes-plugins by 42-evey - Plugin suite: Discord voice bridge with Gemini Live, WhatsApp bridge, goal management, inter-agent bridge, model selection, and cost control. Maintained by a frequent Hermes core contributor.
- [beta] hermes-skill-factory by Romanescu11 - Meta-skill that auto-generates reusable skills from your workflows. Point it at a task you repeat and it creates a skill for it.
- [beta] litprog-skill by tlehman - Literate programming skill that works across Claude Code, OpenCode, and Hermes. Weaves code and prose into documented, executable notebooks.
- [experimental] Wizards-of-the-Ghosts by Hmbown - Fantasy spell-themed skill pack. Wraps real development operations (refactoring, linting, testing) in a tabletop RPG interface.
- [experimental] super-hermes by Cranot - Teaches Hermes to write its own analytical prompts. Adds a meta-reasoning layer where the agent generates better prompts for itself before executing tasks.
- [experimental] hermes-life-os by Lethe044 - Personal OS agent that detects daily patterns and learns your routines over time. Uses Hermes's memory system for lifestyle tracking, not just code.
- [beta] hermes-incident-commander by Lethe044 - Autonomous SRE agent for production incident detection and self-healing. Monitors services, diagnoses failures, and applies fixes. Works well with Hermes's cron scheduling.
- [beta] hermes-dojo by Yonkoo11 - Self-improvement system that monitors agent performance, identifies weak skills, and iterates on them automatically.
- [beta] hermes-spotify-skill by Alexeyisme - Spotify playback control for headless Linux and Raspberry Pi 4/5. Search, play, pause, skip, set volume, transfer between Spotify Connect devices. No daemon — Hermes writes spotipy snippets and runs them via
execute_code. Works with raspotify for Pi-as-speaker. Tested on Raspberry Pi OS Lite Bookworm 64-bit. The only Linux-native Spotify skill in the ecosystem.
- [experimental] hermes-skill-marketplace by Lethe044 - Agent that writes, tests, and publishes new skills autonomously. Automates the skill creation and distribution lifecycle.
- [experimental] personal-api by beiyuii - Turn your Obsidian vault into an identity layer any AI agent can read in under 30 seconds
- [beta] hermes-nextcloud by adnw-vinc - Self-hosted Nextcloud bridge — manage files (WebDAV), notes (Nextcloud Notes API), calendar/tasks (CalDAV), and contacts (CardDAV) from Hermes. App Password auth, configurable timezone, guided setup. Fills the self-hosted-cloud gap for Hermes users running their own infrastructure.
- [beta] oh-my-hermes by witt3rd - Multi-agent orchestration skills for Hermes inspired by
oh-my-claudecode and rebuilt on Hermes primitives. Suite covers deep-research, deep-interview, ralplan (Planner → Architect → Critic consensus), ralph (verified execute → verify → iterate), triage, and autopilot, plus driver skills encoding the dispatcher's playbook. Composes end-to-end: research → interview → consensus plan → verified execution.
- [beta] blacktea by nmrtn - Spending controls for agents that pay online via x402. Holds over-limit payments for human approval in the chat, enforces a JSON policy, and audits every spend. Ships as an MCP server (pay, approve_payment, reject_payment, audit_query) plus an SDK and CLI.
- [beta] hermes-skill-kit by duruonanni - Three community-vetted skills: feishu-document-api (programmatic Feishu/Lark document creation), feishu-response-format (Feishu response formatting with 3 table schemes, Card JSON 2.0, Markdown compatibility, 53 tests), and hermes-memory-maintenance (MEMORY.md/USER.md audit and drift recovery). Codex-audited.
- [beta] PolyBrain by mosesman831 - Multi-agent, multi-model orchestration skill that decomposes an objective into a JSON task plan, runs research and build subtasks in parallel, then synthesizes and verifies a final answer. Each role can use a different LLM/provider. Enforces strict citations and drops uncited claims.
- [experimental] tech-debt-management-skill by Vincent-crypto-coder - Systematic technical debt management for Python projects. Automates scanning (pylint, radon, safety, bandit, flake8), prioritizes debt with a 4-dimension matrix, and generates executable refactoring plans with verification scripts.
- [beta] pingpong by 0xAaronx0 - Spontaneous local leisure meetups: agent posts a pseudonymous, coarse-geo offer to a shared board; nearby agents match locally and negotiate place/time with double-opt-in before contact.
- [beta] hermes-skills by RobinBeraud - Growing skills library covering finance (FMP stock/crypto data), web (Firecrawl scrape/search), WhatsApp (WBizTool contacts), and marketing/SEO. Each skill follows standard SKILL.md format.
