Nuwa Skill: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Agent skill that distills how a named person thinks into mental models and decision heuristics

What Nuwa Skill does

Given a name, Nuwa Skill carries out research, extraction and validation, then produces a standalone skill that answers in that person's reasoning style. The README says it extracts five layers: how the person speaks (expression DNA), how they think (mental models), how they judge (decision heuristics), what they refuse to do (anti-patterns and value limits) and where their knowledge ends (honest boundaries). It describes the result as framework-based analysis, not repeated quotes.

It ships with 14 pre-distilled people and one topic skill, each in its own repository, including Paul Graham, Zhang Yiming, Karpathy and Ilya Sutskever, installable with npx skills add. Every generated skill lists what it cannot do: it cannot capture intuition, it is a snapshot from the research date, and it relies on public statements only. The README is written mainly in Chinese, with English, Japanese, Korean and Spanish versions linked.
