ai-agent-skills: skill pack for Hermes Agent

191 attribution-first agent skills with one installer for Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Cursor and others

What ai-agent-skills does

ai-agent-skills aggregates 191 skills in 28 categories and installs them with one script. Most of the content was written by other authors in their public repositories, including collections such as obra/superpowers, mattpocock/skills, addyosmani's agent skills and kepano/obsidian-skills. The repository says its own contribution is aggregation, categorization, conflict detection, validation tooling, attribution metadata and the installer.

For Hermes the installer runs without flags and writes to ~/.hermes/skills/, while --agent selects Claude Code, Cursor or a custom target directory. Flags include --list, --list-presets, --category, --dry-run and --validate. Presets are developer (about 92 skills), researcher (about 29), content-creator (about 37), devops (about 24), agentic (about 20) and minimal (the 14 superpowers skills). Windows uses python scripts/install.py, and a REST API on port 5555 is part of the project. Each skill carries source_url frontmatter, and a NOTICE file credits upstream authors.
