🦅 Hermes Agent: Autonomous Tooling & Skills

NOTE

Module Status: Actively expanding. The Hermes ecosystem represents next-generation autonomous software engineering agents capable of running directly on terminals, Git repositories, and local tools via modular Skills.

🗺️ Topics & Module Roadmap

1. What is a Skill (SKILL.md)?:
   • Self-contained packages of instructions, scripts, and references teaching agents multi-step runbooks.
2. Progressive Disclosure:
   • Keeping context windows clean by injecting only summaries until explicitly triggered.
3. High-Efficacy Skill Authoring:
   • Pre-conditions, verification loops, deterministic execution steps, and exit criteria.
4. MCP (Model Context Protocol) Tooling:
   • Integrating filesystem, terminal, headless browser, and SQLite providers.
5. Repository Automation:
   • Automated PR reviews, documentation synchronization, and continuous codebase maintenance.
