Carl Skills: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Q: How do I install Carl Skills?

Use the npx skills tool with a skill name, for example npx skills add LearnPrompt/carl-skills --skill skill-slimming -g. This installs only that one skill directory, not the whole collection.

Collection and registry of real-world AI workflow skills for creators, reusable in Hermes and other agents

What Carl Skills does

Carl Skills is the author's index of AI workflows they have run repeatedly in real work, such as topic selection, writing, reviews, research, PPT editing, publishing and Obsidian maintenance, packaged as skills an agent can load again. The README is in Chinese. It has three parts: Skills that can be reused in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw and Hermes, a machine-readable Registry in registry.json that records the canonical repository each skill installs from, and a Catalog that says what each skill is and is not suited for.

The catalog table lists 17 skills. Examples include ai-news-radar for 24-hour AI news tracking, humanize-ppt for building a spoken storyline before slides, skill-sync for consolidating skills across agents, skill-slimming for sorting capabilities into global, project and on-demand tiers, carl-file-organizer for read-only disk scans with approval on a web page, and afu for an Obsidian inbox, wiki, to-do and weekly calendar flow. Skills live either in their own canonical repositories or natively in this repo, and one skill can be installed on its own with the npx skills tool.
