What is the correct directory structure for authoring in-repo Hermes skills?▼

The correct structure places skills under skills/<category>/<name>/ with a root-level SKILL.md. Organize referenced scripts, references, and assets within this structure to ensure deterministic execution and on-demand reading.

How do I validate SKILL.md frontmatter before committing?▼

Does a Hermes skill require a root-level SKILL.md file?▼

Yes, a Hermes skill requires a root-level SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields. This entry file enables skill discovery setup and validator checks for deterministic execution.

Why does my SKILL.md fail validation checks in the Hermes repository?▼

Your SKILL.md may fail validation due to missing required frontmatter fields, exceeding length limits, or incorrect placement outside skills/<category>/<name>/. Common pitfalls include unsupported metadata and structural inconsistency.
