Appie Kit: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Starter kit with a large skill library, workspace files and install scripts for Hermes Agent and OpenClaw

What Appie Kit does

Appie Kit packages the configuration, tools and skills the author says run Weblyfe, a web design agency staffed by AI employees. The jobs named in the README include email triage, calendar management, lead capture and CRM automation, proposal generation, website builds, competitor monitoring, security scanning and customer support over Telegram, WhatsApp and Discord.

The v4.6 release, dated July 2026, cites 939 skills in 42 categories, with categories such as integrations, engineering and agentic ops, content, and operations. Skills are plain folders you copy into ~/.hermes/skills/ for Hermes or ~/.openclaw/skills/ for OpenClaw. The kit also provides workspace files, SOUL.md for personality, USER.md for your context and TOOLS.md for tool access, plus an install.sh script and an .env.example for keys. The recommended model is deepseek-v4-flash through OpenRouter, and the README says skills detect the runtime across Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Codex CLI and Pi.
