Large library of SKILL.md skills, agents and personas for 13 coding agents, with a Hermes Agent sync script
claude-skills is a large open-source library of skills, agents and personas in the Agent Skills format, covering engineering, marketing, security, compliance, product and more. Hermes Agent is one of the 13 supported tools, through a pre-generated skills tree and a one-time sync script.
What claude-skills does
claude-skills is a library of reusable expertise packages in the Agent Skills format. Each skill has a SKILL.md with workflows and decision frameworks, stdlib-only Python tools and reference docs such as templates and checklists. The README groups the content into skills, agents and personas: skills explain how to execute a task, agents define what task to do, and personas set who is thinking, for example a startup CTO.
Coverage spans engineering, DevOps, marketing including answer engine optimization, security, compliance, product, research, productivity and C-level advisory roles. The README lists 13 supported tools, including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Cursor, Aider and Windsurf. Hermes Agent is a bring-your-own-sync target: the repository ships a pre-generated .hermes/skills/claude-skills/ tree, and you run python scripts/sync-hermes-skills.py once locally to copy it into ~/.hermes/skills/.
