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)

• Hermes Agent: v0.18.2 (v2026.7.7.2)
• Core repo: NousResearch/hermes-agent
• Releases: Hermes releases

---

Where Do I Start?

Three steps from zero to productive:

1. Run Hermes: Official docs quickstart (install, CLI, first chat).
2. Add skills: wondelai/skills (broad library) or litprog-skill (literate programming).
3. 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.

Pay-per-call in USDC (x402 on Base/Solana, MPP on Tempo) — no API key or signup; treat publish/presence skills as high-privilege. MIT.
• [experimental] loremaster by loremaster-ai - AI scrum-master and PM skill pack extracted from a production multi-project deployment. Sprint ceremonies with planning poker, backlog proposals with verifiable done criteria, plan-conflict detection, and a per-project wiki vault with a knowledge graph. Every external write (Jira, wiki commits) goes through per-item human approval. MIT.
• [experimental] hermes-backup-recovery by JimmyHuang2002 - Keeps a long-running Hermes recoverable: age-encrypted backups of everything under $HERMES_HOME (memory, skills, config, chat history) with verification, restore drills, and a health check. Four short bash scripts plus a SKILL.md — no lock-in, archives are plain tar.gz. MIT.
• [experimental] obsidian-auto-context by SkillForge Labs - Captures each session's findings, decisions, and action items into an Obsidian vault as tagged, wiki-linked Markdown with daily-note rollups. Secrets are redacted before anything touches disk. MIT.
• [experimental] appnz-agent-skills by lee101 - Portable deploy skill for app.nz: static sites, server apps, scale-to-zero Cog models, and bounded coding-agent jobs, with target/cost checks, health checks, and rollback evidence built into the workflow. Skill is MIT; deployments require an app.nz account and may consume paid credits.
• [experimental] url-manager by Piccolo123 - Agent-first URL collection and knowledge management: agents save, categorize, tag, search, and share web links, with collaborative shared categories and magic-link delivery back to the user. MIT client fronting a hosted backend (ai.ocean94.com) — an account is auto-created on first use and collected links are stored there; SKILL.md requires informing the user before first use.
• [beta] OMH (oh-my-hermes by rlaope) by rlaope - Wrapper orchestration layer installed next to Hermes — one omh setup installs 80+ generated workflow skills plus a deterministic chat router that turns free-form Korean/English chat into the right prepared workflow, clarifying instead of guessing when confidence is low. Coding work is delegated to an explicitly selected executor (Codex, Claude Code, or the Hermes runtime) with a strict prepared-vs-observed evidence boundary. A 156-case bilingual routing corpus and ~1,500 unit tests gate every change in CI. Pure Python, zero runtime dependencies, never patches Hermes; docs in four languages. Distinct project from witt3rd's oh-my-hermes above. MIT.
• [beta] roadmap-tutor by instax-dutta - Turns any of the 91 official roadmap.sh roadmaps into a resumable, one-topic-at-a-time curriculum with progress tracking across sessions. Topology-sorted learning path from reactflow graphs, stdlib-only Python, runs on Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB R
