Hermes Field Kit — Setup Guide

Source: asimons81/hermes-field-kit GitHub: asimons81/hermes-field-kit Skills: 16 skills (13 stable + 3 experimental) · v1.0.1 Category: Hermes Operations First Seen: August 19, 2026 evening sweep Quality Tier: 🟡 Beta — 122 GitHub stars, Apache-2.0, SemVer-tagged releases, per-skill versioning, a dependency-free repository validator, and a published skill specification

Hermes Field Kit is the most disciplined Hermes-native operations suite on the marketplace. It is intentionally not a bulk skill dump: every stable skill must solve a real task, have been used in an actual workflow, and be reproducible by another person from the repository alone. The catalog organizes sixteen skills around an operational loop of inspect → diagnose → recover → migrate → verify, with three experimental skills marked while they accumulate field evidence. Eight skills are indexed on skills.sh (2-3 installs each); the rest are tap-discoverable from the repository.

Installation

Install any published skill by its repository-qualified identifier:

hermes skills inspect asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor
hermes skills install asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor --yes

Replace hermes-stack-doctor with any skill from the published list. Start a new Hermes session after installation because skill discovery may be cached for the lifetime of an existing session.

Manual installation (clone and copy or symlink into the active profile's skills directory):

git clone https://github.com/asimons81/hermes-field-kit.git
cp -r hermes-field-kit/skills/hermes-stack-doctor ~/.hermes/profiles/<profile>/skills/

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Hermes Agent v0.19.0+ Qualified identifier resolution through the skills.sh registry verified in v0.19.0
Linux / macOS / Windows Operations skills are cross-platform; x-analytics-import and x-post-writer are platform-agnostic
Read access to the target install All skills are read-only by design — no automatic repair, no credential writes

What It Provides

Skill Status Purpose
hermes-stack-doctor stable Top-level read-only health audit across installation, updates, gateways, cron, profiles, and persistence; reports GREEN / YELLOW / RED without repairs
hermes-gateway-doctor stable Diagnose messaging gateway failures from process state, adapters, credential posture, logs, delivery evidence, and service persistence
hermes-profile-audit stable Compare a profile's declared responsibilities with its actual tools, skills, persistence, access, and observed behavior
hermes-token-audit stable Audit token usage and cost with live schema discovery, aggregate-first privacy, and separation of estimates from provider billing
hermes-skill-audit stable Audit global and profile-local skills for dependencies, frontmatter, usage integrity, cron references, duplicates, and upstream drift
hermes-skill-consolidate experimental Safely consolidate or restructure overlapping skills with read-only planning, rollback snapshots, and staged writes
hermes-environment-migration stable Migrate Hermes environments between machines with staged archives, integrity manifests, secret separation, and rollback
hermes-update-doctor stable Investigate update failures across remote drift, repository divergence, process locks, stale caches, and partial installs
oss-tool-trust-audit stable Evaluate open-source tools for legitimacy — read source and release machinery, treat popularity as context rather than proof
pre-build-feature-audit stable Read-only duplicate check across source, history, branches, issues, PRs, and roadmaps before building a feature
repo-readiness-audit stable Determine whether a Git repository is ready for development, release, handoff, or contribution using independent evidence
x-analytics-import stable Validate, normalize, import, and compare X Analytics CSV exports through a private-by-default workflow
x-post-writer stable Draft, rewrite, and repurpose short-form X content with source fidelity, format routing, and claim verification
interview-me stable Ask one high-value question at a time and stop when more questions would not change the next action
what-have-we-done-today experimental Scan today's sessions, kanban boards, and cron runs across profile stores into an append-friendly daily markdown recap
dont-lie-to-me experimental Cross-cutting evidence discipline separating observed facts, sourced claims, inference, unknowns, and contradictions before strong claims

Quick Start

  1. Inspect before installing: hermes skills inspect asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor
  2. Install the flagship: hermes skills install asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor --yes
  3. In a new session, say "run a stack health audit" — hermes-stack-doctor reports a GREEN / YELLOW / RED verdict without modifying anything
  4. Add hermes-token-audit when cost attribution or billing discrepancies need investigation

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
System health audits hermes-stack-doctor maps directly to our system-auditor cadence — read-only GREEN/YELLOW/RED verdicts across the full stack
Gateway failure diagnosis hermes-gateway-doctor covers Telegram/gateway failure modes we hit regularly; evidence-first, no blind repair
Cost and token governance hermes-token-audit separates estimates from provider billing — matches our token-optimization discipline and budget tracking
Skill library hygiene hermes-skill-audit + hermes-skill-consolidate match our quarterly skill audits and consolidation passes exactly
X channel workflows x-post-writer and x-analytics-import cover our primary social channel: drafting with claim verification and private analytics import
Evidence-disciplined reporting dont-lie-to-me and oss-tool-trust-audit encode our verify-before-assertion and help-first trust rules as reusable workflows
Environment migration hermes-environment-migration's staged export / integrity manifest / rollback pattern matches our Spark-to-worker sync needs

Limitations / Verification

  • Below the 20K install guide bar — drafted on cluster authority: a cohesive, versioned, Hermes-native suite with 122 GitHub stars and an explicit admission rule (no filler, no thin wrappers)
  • Tap-backed search was not claimed as supported in the v0.19.0 validation environment; install by qualified identifier or manual copy
  • Experimental skills (what-have-we-done-today, dont-lie-to-me, hermes-skill-consolidate) are explicitly not stable — use supervised
  • All operations skills are diagnosis-only by design; they never auto-repair, which is intentional
hermes skills install asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor --yes   # verify install works
