Hermes Agent ported into Claude Code's native skill system with no separate process
hermes-CCC is a community port of Hermes Agent's components, memory, skill management, persona switching and more, into Claude Code's native skill system, running entirely inside Claude Code with no separate process or OAuth.
What hermes-CCC does
The project maps Hermes' own brain, skills, tools, gateway and cron pieces onto Claude Code equivalents: Hermes' agent brain becomes a set of slash commands (/hermes-route, /hermes-memory, /hermes-skill, /hermes-persona and others), its 402 built-in skills are distilled into 46 core skills across 10 categories, and Honcho-style cross-session user modeling becomes a /honcho command. Hermes' messaging gateway reaches Discord and Telegram through a cc-channel plugin, and its cron system maps onto Claude Code's own scheduling tool.
The 46 ported skills span software development (systematic debugging, TDD, GitHub PR workflows), MLOps and AI tooling (vLLM, llama.cpp, Whisper, vector databases), and research (arXiv search, academic paper writing), installed with a single shell or PowerShell script and activated after restarting Claude Code.
