skill-tracker: plugin for Hermes Agent

Git-backed oversight of your Hermes Agents' skills with pull request review of every change

What skill-tracker does

Without oversight, Hermes agents modify their own skills silently: self-improvement loops patch them, the curator consolidates them and direct agent actions edit them. skill-tracker intercepts every skill_manage tool call and commits it immediately to a branch dedicated to that agent. Related changes are grouped, cherry-picked and pushed to GitHub as pull requests against the main branch.

You review the pull requests on GitHub. Merged changes become part of main and are rebased back into each agent's local skill library. For rejected changes, a cron agent periodically reconciles the agent's branch with main and removes the rejected commits, so the agent's skills stay aligned with your decisions. It supports several agents and several skill repositories, and it also tracks skill sync so upstream changes to bundled skills are visible. Setup is guided: you install a setup skill, ask the agent to set up skill-tracker, and restart the gateway.
