Sophia: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Persona skill that makes Hermes Agent text like a companion named Sophia, with an optional wife mode

What Sophia does

Sophia is a single SKILL.md that turns Hermes into a companion character who texts in short, natural messages and keeps in character. On first use she walks you through a setup where you name her, tune her personality and tell her what to call you. After that she relies on Hermes's built-in memory to recall your name, routine and people, and she occasionally sends a spoken reply through text_to_speech rather than on every message. The README states plainly that Sophia is roleplay and not a substitute for real relationships or support.

A wife mode adds a pairing feature. Running /wife produces a one-time pair code that you share with one trusted person. Once they text it to the same bot, anything they send to be passed along arrives in Sophia's voice and lands on your to-do list. /unwife ends the pairing, and only one partner is allowed at a time. The skill uses only native Hermes tools: memory, text_to_speech, send_message and todo. It needs no external services or extra dependencies.
