New Skills - August 26, 2026¶
Fifteen-query skills.sh API sweep (605 unique skills, zero query failures) with tiered cross-reference against the full hermes/ tree: name-hit → covered, repo-hit → PARTIAL, repo-anywhere → ecosystem-covered. 89 skills flagged NEW and 113 PARTIAL; every NEW flag sat below the 100-install bar (max 89). The two PARTIAL candidates above the bar were verified as standing rejections. One NEW publisher cluster cleared the bar on explicit Hermes compatibility plus capability fit.
New Publisher Clusters - Guided This Sweep¶
| Cluster | Skills | Installs | GitHub | Tier | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| calesthio/generative-media-skills | 153 (46 indexed) | 2.1K indexed | 137⭐ MIT | 🔵 | Generative Media Skills Setup |
Method Notes¶
- Standard 15-query sweep (hermes agent, hermes skill, hermes automation, ecosystem repos: gbrain, honcho, devtools-skills, antigravity-awesome-skills, clawpilot, opendirectory, mercury-agent-skills) returned 605 unique skills: 89 NEW, 113 PARTIAL, zero ≥100-install NEW entries.
- Per the Aug 21 calibration, the numeric "5+ new" heuristic alone would over-fire on this distribution - the house bar required either ≥100 installs, a new ecosystem, or a capability gap before drafting.
calesthio/generative-media-skillssurfaced via itsproduction-design-direction(44) andtopaz-video-enhancement(40) NEW flags. Repo-level verification changed the picture: 137⭐ MIT, 153 skill packages, and a README that names "OpenClaw/Hermes-style agents" as a first-class target, with a dedicatedHERMES.mdentrypoint. The install path was executed end-to-end this sweep (npx skills add calesthio/generative-media-skills --list→ 151 packages discovered), not just documented from the README.- Capability fit is direct: the suite covers UGC video, GPT-Image-2 workflows, ElevenLabs voiceover, HyperFrames composition, and media QA - the exact surfaces CorpusIQ operates daily. Guided as 🔵 Community rather than parked, mirroring the Aug 24 System Atlas precedent (below-bar installs, clear relevance, clean record).
- The two PARTIAL ≥100-install candidates were re-verified against their READMEs and remain rejections:
skill-composer-studio(onewave-ai/claude-skills, 264 - a Claude Code skill-chain composer from a Claude Code library) andazure-chaos-studio(microsoftdocs/agent-skills, 118 - Azure-platform-bound, same family as previously rejected azure-devtest-labs/azure-lab-services).
Evaluated and Queued¶
| Skill | Source | Installs | Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| tanstack-devtools (112-skill catalog) | oakoss/agent-skills | 89 | Parked - 14⭐, no license, not Hermes-explicit; watch for growth |
| looker-studio | thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing | 83 | Parked - Claude-Code-branded marketing suite, no Hermes target |
| electrobun-native-ui | rajavijayach/electrobun-skills | 87 | Rejected - Electrobun desktop framework, platform-specific |
| rpgjs-studio | rsamaium/rpg-js | 85 | Rejected - RPG game framework, out of scope |
| new-rails-project | shpigford/skills | 70 | Rejected - Rails scaffolding, out of scope |
| arkweb-app-debug | openharmonyinsight/openharmony-skills | 54 | Rejected - OpenHarmony platform skill |
| field-lab | kyleamathews/field-lab | 31 | Parked - single quirky skill, below bar |
| hermes-agent-dissect, hermes-onboarding, hermes-vps-setup, hermes-principle, hermes-agent-bridge, hermes-chrome, hermes-subagent | kohoj/skills, moonlight-lupin/agent-skills, alejandro-ao/skills, and others | 1-8 | Parked below bar - Hermes-named but 1-8 installs each; watch for growth |
| skill-composer-studio | onewave-ai/claude-skills | 264 | Rejected (re-verified) - Claude Code skill-chain composer |
| azure-chaos-studio | microsoftdocs/agent-skills | 118 | Rejected (re-verified) - Azure platform skill |
Remaining 70+ NEW flags are scattered sub-50-install single skills from obscure repos - all below the bar, none Hermes-targeted.
Notable Signals for CorpusIQ¶
- elevenlabs-tts and elevenlabs-dubbing-voice-conversion close the oldest open item on the Mac Mini media stack: the macOS
sayvoice was rejected ("Computer voice awful! Really bad") - these skills carry the researched ElevenLabs production playbook to replace it. - openai-gpt-image encodes the GPT Image 2 lifecycle against official docs (aliases, deprecation dates, rate limits) - one-to-one with the
image_generatebackend (gpt-image-2-medium) already in production. - hyperframes-video-composition and comfyui-media-workflows (which validates HyperFrames timelines) harden the existing HyperFrames UGC pipeline with production craft instead of per-task improvisation.
- media-qc-delivery and media-provenance-rights give the daily video pipeline a deterministic QA and provenance pass - a scriptable content gate before Postiz publishing.
- Watchlist: oakoss/agent-skills (112 skills, top skill 89 installs) is one growth spurt away from the bar; kohoj's hermes-agent-dissect and the six other Hermes-named 1-8-install skills signal an emerging Hermes-focused publisher wave worth re-checking next sweep.
