What is NousResearch's hermes-agent plugin?

It's the skill library behind Hermes Agent, an autonomous assistant from Nous Research that keeps a persistent memory of past conversations and runs across chat platforms. Flowy indexes 82 skills from the public repository, covering everything from PDF and Office file editing to GitHub workflows, machine learning tooling, and smart home control.

How many skills does hermes-agent include?

82, and every one of them is typed as a skill in Flowy's index rather than an agent, command, or MCP server. They group loosely by purpose: documents and design, coding and code review, machine learning and research, notes and messaging, monitoring and home automation, and a few skills for Hermes Agent's own desktop app.

Does installing this plugin give me the full Hermes Agent, memory included?

No. This plugin is the skill library, and Flowy indexes it as a set of skills you can add to your own setup. The persistent memory and multi-platform gateway are part of Nous Research's separate Hermes Agent product, described in the repository itself rather than counted as one of the 82 indexed skills.

Can I install only some of the 82 skills instead of all of them?

Flowy's index for this plugin doesn't show a built-in sorting or starter-set skill, so the practical approach is to read the skill names and descriptions on the listing page and pick the family that matches your work, such as the document skills, the GitHub skills, or the machine-learning skills.

Does Flowy host or maintain the hermes-agent plugin?

No. Flowy indexes the public NousResearch/hermes-agent GitHub repository and links to it. The code, updates, and support live in that repository, so use the install path on the listing page linked at the top of this guide rather than a copied command.

Inside NousResearch's Hermes Agent Skill Library

By Flowy · Updated 2026-08-28

nousresearch/hermes-agent is the skill library behind Nous Research's Hermes Agent, a self-improving assistant with persistent memory across conversations. Flowy's index counts 82 skills here, covering documents, design, coding, machine learning, notes, messaging, monitoring, and home automation. Reach for it to pull individual Hermes Agent skills into your own setup rather than running the full agent product.

What is Hermes Agent, and what does this plugin cover?

NousResearch/hermes-agent is the skill library behind Hermes Agent, Nous Research's self-improving assistant that runs across chat platforms and keeps a persistent memory of past conversations for context across sessions. On Flowy, hermes-agent is filed under the agents category, and every one of its 82 indexed components is typed as a skill, with no separate commands, MCP servers, or hooks. Flowy indexes the public repository; it doesn't own, bundle, or host any of it, and the repo carries 236,000-plus GitHub stars. Install it from the listing page linked at the top of this guide, not a command copied from an article.

What's here for documents, design, and generative media?

The largest share of the 82 skills is about making things. pdf, nano-pdf, docx, powerpoint, xlsx, and ocr-and-documents cover PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files plus OCR on scans. On design, claude-design, sketch, architecture-diagram, and excalidraw build HTML artifacts, throwaway mockups, SVG diagrams, and hand-drawn diagram JSON; design-md authors Google's DESIGN.md token-spec files; and popular-web-designs supplies real design systems (Stripe, Linear) as HTML and CSS. The rest is playful: baoyu-infographic, p5js, pretext, ascii-art, ascii-video, and gif-search cover infographics, generative art, text demos, ASCII conversion, and GIF search, while comfyui, manim-video, songwriting-and-ai-music, songsee, and touchdesigner-mcp handle diffusion workflows, math animation, songwriting, audio analysis, and TouchDesigner control.

What's here for coding, machine learning, and research?

Software work gets the biggest cluster. Six GitHub skills cover auth (github-auth), cloning and forking (github-repo-management), issue triage (github-issues), the PR lifecycle (github-pr-workflow), inline PR review (github-code-review), and carrying an issue to a verified PR with an honest CI state (github-issue-to-pr). requesting-code-review runs a pre-commit security scan with auto-fix, simplify-code is a parallel four-agent cleanup, and systematic-debugging is a four-phase process for understanding a bug first. test-driven-development enforces red-green-refactor order, python-debugpy and node-inspect-debugger attach a debugger to Python and Node, codebase-inspection sizes up a codebase by language and line count, merge-reconciler resolves agent merge conflicts, and hermes-agent-skill-authoring writes the plugin's own SKILL.md files. claude-code, codex, and opencode delegate coding work to Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenCode.

On the model side, llama-cpp runs local GGUF inference and finds models on the Hugging Face Hub, serving-llms-vllm covers high-throughput serving through vLLM, and evaluating-llms-harness benchmarks a model across suites like MMLU and GSM8K. huggingface-hub wraps the hf CLI for models and datasets, and weights-and-biases logs experiments and dashboards to W&B. arxiv searches papers by keyword, author, category, or ID, research-paper-writing carries a paper to submission for venues like NeurIPS and ICML, and llm-wiki builds a markdown knowledge base modeled on Karpathy's LLM Wiki.

What covers notes, planning, messaging, and monitoring?

notion and obsidian read, search, and edit Notion pages and an Obsidian vault; apple-notes, apple-reminders, airtable, and box wrap their namesake apps. session-librarian finds, renames, archives, and prunes sessions by prompt, and plan writes a markdown plan without executing anything. weekly-review-planning runs a weekly reset across commitments and stalled work; meeting-action-items and document-to-action-items turn meetings or documents into cited decisions and deadlines; and teams-meeting-pipeline handles Microsoft Teams summaries and Graph subscriptions. himalaya handles email over IMAP and SMTP, email-inbox-triage prioritizes threads and drafts replies, imessage covers iMessage and SMS on macOS, and xurl posts and sends DMs on X. google-workspace is a setup note on Google OAuth2 credentials rather than a feature list, the connector behind the other Google-facing skills.

A monitoring group covers competitor-news-monitor for named-company news, blogwatcher for blogs and RSS or Atom feeds, and product-price-monitor for price alerts. grounded-citations grounds answers in cited sources, blocked-page-recovery recovers pages blocked by a paywall or firewall, and youtube-content turns a transcript into summaries or blog posts. humanizer strips AI-sounding phrasing out of text, and a small home set covers openhue for Philips Hue lights, findmy for Apple devices and AirTags, and maps for geocoding and routes from OpenStreetMap and OSRM.

What's left is aimed at Hermes Agent itself, and should you install all 82 skills?

A handful of skills are about the product this repository is named for. hermes-agent is the skill for using, configuring, theming, and extending Hermes Agent, and inspecting-hermes-desktop-dom reads the live Hermes desktop DOM and CSS over CDP. computer-use drives the desktop in the background without stealing focus, dogfood runs exploratory QA on web apps, sdlc-review reviews Kanban handoffs and routes verified outcomes, and spike runs a throwaway experiment before a full build.

Nothing in Flowy's index sorts the 82 skills into a starter set, so treat each family above as a menu: pull the document, design, or GitHub skills for daily work, and add the rest only if you need them. Flowy indexes the plugin as published, not maintained, so check the listing page linked at the top of this guide for the current count and install path.
