Hermes Agent Official Skills - Bundled Batch (September 2026)

Source: skills.sh/nousresearch/hermes-agent GitHub: nousresearch/hermes-agent Category: Productivity · Research · Email · GitHub · Web · DevOps First Seen: Aug 7-13, 2026 (skills.sh, per skill) Quality Tier: 🟢 Production - official Nous Research skills, MIT license, bundled with Hermes Agent

Nine official skills published to the nousresearch/hermes-agent repo in early August 2026 and bundled with Hermes Agent itself. Discovered in the Sep 1 PM sweep after the flagship-repo API query had timed out on several prior runs. Most are authored by Ben Barclay for Hermes Agent; sdlc-review is by Jakub Wolniewicz with Hermes Agent. Together they cover the operator loop end to end: watch competitors, triage the inbox, extract obligations from documents, turn meetings into tickets, run weekly resets, monitor prices, recover blocked pages, carry issues to verified PRs, and verify Kanban handoffs.

Core Skills

Skill Installs First Seen Use For
competitor-news-monitor 55 Aug 10, 2026 Declared-company watches: funding, pricing, product launches, executive moves, incidents - with materiality thresholds and cited digests
document-to-action-items 50 Aug 7, 2026 Contracts, reports, and scanned forms → cited obligations, deadlines, owners, and risks
github-issue-to-pr 50 Aug 8, 2026 Issue → premise-validated, duplicate-swept, class-level-fixed PR with honest CI state
blocked-page-recovery 49 Aug 13, 2026 Recovery ladder for failed fetches: Wayback → archive.today → Jina Reader → API-first pivot → real browser
email-inbox-triage 48 Aug 8, 2026 Bounded inbox queue: thread-aware prioritization, disposition classes, safe draft-only replies
weekly-review-planning 48 Aug 10, 2026 Weekly reset across calendar/tasks/notes: commitments vs slippage, next-week plan
meeting-action-items 44 Aug 10, 2026 Notes/transcripts → cited decisions, owners, tickets, and board reconciliation
product-price-monitor 44 Aug 10, 2026 Exact-item price/availability watches with variant, tax, fee, and currency normalization
sdlc-review 44 Aug 11, 2026 Kanban review-lane verification: approve, request changes, or escalate - with evidence, not takeover

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Hermes Agent All nine are bundled; the repo versions track the same SKILL.md sources
Automation blueprints competitor-news-monitor scaffolds a competitor-watch cron tick; weekly-review-planning scaffolds a weekly-review tick; product-price-monitor scaffolds a price-watch tick
Connector skills email-inbox-triage pairs with himalaya or google-workspace; document-to-action-items pairs with pdf/docx; meeting-action-items pairs with teams-meeting-pipeline; sdlc-review requires the kanban toolset
Optional keys blocked-page-recovery only uses Jina Reader when JINA_API_KEY is set - all other routes are keyless

CorpusIQ Use Cases

  • Competitor intelligence - competitor-news-monitor replaces ad-hoc competitor checks in the tech-research-sweeps workstream with a declared watchlist, source hierarchy (newsroom → pricing → filings), and materiality thresholds. The competitor-watch blueprint makes it a cron tick.
  • Inbox operations - email-inbox-triage matches the dual-inbox discipline for media@ and info@: disposition classes, thread-complete reads, and a default read+draft (never send/delete) mutation boundary that mirrors the existing email operating rules.
  • Contract and deal follow-through - document-to-action-items turns partnership, affiliate, and investor documents into cited obligations with deadlines and owners, feeding the lead pipeline and outreach sequences.
  • Docs repo and ecosystem PR hygiene - github-issue-to-pr encodes the issue→verified-PR discipline (premise validation, duplicate sweeps, honest CI state) used in corpusiq-docs maintenance.
  • Research resilience - blocked-page-recovery formalizes the paywall/WAF recovery ladder already practiced ad hoc; its bundled scripts/recover_page.py runs the ladder in one shot with provenance.
  • Competitive pricing watches - product-price-monitor automates competitor SaaS pricing-page watches with all-in price normalization (variants, taxes, fees, currencies) - a surface not previously covered.
  • Operator governance - meeting-action-items (decisions → owners → tickets), weekly-review-planning (weekly reset cadence), and sdlc-review (independent Kanban verification) complete the operator loop for multi-agent workstreams.

Limitations / Verification

  • Verified Sep 1, 2026: repo tree paths via api.github.com/repos/nousresearch/hermes-agent/git/trees/main?recursive=1 (12,201 paths), SKILL.md frontmatter + bodies via raw.githubusercontent.com, and First Seen dates from each skills.sh skill page.
  • blocked-page-recovery is the only one with an optional key (JINA_API_KEY); everything else runs keyless.
  • sdlc-review targets the Kanban toolset (requires_toolsets: [kanban]) - it is a review-lane verifier, not a general code reviewer.
  • Author mix is honest in each SKILL.md: most skills are Ben Barclay + Hermes Agent; sdlc-review is Jakub Wolniewicz + Hermes Agent. No security-audit blocks observed on the skills.sh pages.
