Documentation & Housekeeping

For New Skills

  • This skill is broadly useful to most users (if bundled) — see Contributing Guide
  • SKILL.md follows the standard format (frontmatter, trigger conditions, steps, pitfalls)
  • No external dependencies that aren't already available (prefer stdlib, curl, existing Hermes tools)
  • I've tested the skill end-to-end: hermes --toolsets skills -q "Use the X skill to do Y"
