Trump Skill: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Agent skill that applies a negotiation and power-analysis framework drawn from Donald Trump's record

What Trump Skill does

The README describes a thinking framework rather than an impression act. It says the skill was built from more than 30 primary and secondary sources, including his books, long interviews, presidential debates, a joint assessment by 27 psychiatrists, memoirs by former staff and records of major decisions. From these it distills six mental models, eight decision heuristics and a profile of his expression style. The models include everything as a deal, maximizing the opening ask, and unpredictability as power.

The skill runs in two modes: role-play, which simulates his thinking and speech, and analyst mode, which explains behavior in the third person and anticipates next moves. Sample dialogues, in Chinese, analyze where a 145 percent tariff figure came from and how to prepare for a negotiation with him. It follows the open Agent Skills protocol, so the README lists Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent and others as runtimes, and pasting SKILL.md into a chat is the fallback.
