Evening sweep of the skills.sh REST API across 15 queries (one-pass ripgrep cross-reference on the Mac Mini, ~2 min). 717 unique skills collected, 0 failed queries. Tiered crossref: 24 NEW / 211 PARTIAL. NEW ≥100 installs: 2 clusters; PARTIAL ≥100: 93 rows across 45 already-documented families. One Aug 18 "watch for growth" park (fission-ai/openspec) cleared its threshold and was guided.

Why This Matters for Hermes¶
Principal Engineer is the sweep's most directly relevant find for Hermes operators: its discipline stack (verification-as-done, no silent failures, one source of truth, scope-to-trigger) is the same doctrine CorpusIQ runs its own agent fleet on - now available as installable skills with evals. OpenSpec graduated its watch-list park with 5x growth; at 70.7K⭐ it is a canonical SDD workflow that turns agent feature work into spec-reviewable, archiveable changes - directly useful for CorpusIQ's agent-built product pipeline. Dboeckli contributes niche but practical workflow skills, notably cron-schedule-planner's cron de-peaking analysis for multi-repo GitHub Actions fleets.
