hermes-agent-skill-authoring

To create an in-repo SKILL.md file for Hermes Agent, draft the markdown with correct YAML frontmatter, place it under the appropriate category in the committed skills tree, and validate it against loader constraints before committing.

Hermes Agent skill authoring requires specific YAML frontmatter fields and formatting constraints to pass the skill validator. Correct metadata ensures the loader recognizes the committed SKILL.md file without breaking repository expectations.

Hermes Agent skill validation fails due to common pitfalls like leading whitespace, missing metadata fields, invalid repository paths, or exceeding size limits. Correct the YAML frontmatter and structure to pass the loader checks.

In-repo committed skills live under the repository skills tree for shared workflows, while user-local skills remain private. Repository-conformant structure and frontmatter validation are required for committed skills to resolve correctly for other users.

A Hermes SKILL.md file must adhere to loader and size constraints, using peer-matched sections and repository-aligned paths. Supporting scripts or assets must be referenced correctly to ensure the skill validates and resolves for all users.
