hermes-agent-skill-authoring

To create a Hermes Agent skill, you define a SKILL.md file with required YAML frontmatter, directory conventions, and structured documentation that passes project validation checks for discoverability.

Hermes skill validation checks verify required YAML frontmatter fields, skill names, descriptions, file size limits, and structural compliance to ensure the SKILL.md file meets project quality standards.

YAML frontmatter for Hermes skills requires specific metadata fields including names, descriptions, and category information to ensure the agent workflow is discoverable and compliant with repository standards.

Hermes skill authoring applies to developing, editing, and reviewing in-repository SKILL.md files, allowing developers to maintain and update existing agent workflows while ensuring continued compliance.

Hermes skills must adhere to specific file size limits and directory placement rules defined by the project standards, ensuring proper organization and validation of in-repository agent workflows.

SKILL.md validation failures occur when files lack required YAML frontmatter fields, exceed file size limits, violate directory conventions, or fail to meet structural compliance checks for Hermes Agent skills.
