NEW Hermes Skills Update is INSANE!

There's a brand new skills update to Hermes Agent that allows you to basically search and find powerful skills that make your AI agent even better, right? And this is for Hermes. So I'm gonna show you exactly how to use it today. It's a skills hub browser. And basically the powerful way about this is you can see, okay, what's been used, how can you use stuff, how can you set it up, et cetera. And it's also connected to the hubs. Plus there's a way to scan them to check if they're legit or not. You also got multiple trust tiers built in and feedback as well. So it's a faster search set up as well. Now, if you haven't already, the first thing you want to do is make sure that you've updated Hermes. How would you do that? So if you go to your manage tab for Hermes Agent inside the dashboard, you can actually click on the update section here, and then you can go from there. Once you've done that, you can actually go to the manage section inside the AI agent, like for example, Hermes. And from here, you can actually search and find new skills to set up, right? So how do you do that? If you go to the skills section, like you can see, then you can select all and you can see what you've previously created and what you've built, right? So these are all skills who have already got installed. A lot of these actually come with Hermes, directly as default. Then you've got tool sets, right? So for example, like we've got tool sets for browser automation, for terminal, for web search, et cetera, which is great. And then this is the big update is that you now have this setup, right? And so what this is basically a way to use Hermes to browse and install skills in one single click. And it's connected many different hubs. So for example, we have skills.sh, which is like skills bundles. You have ClawHub, which is OpenClaw's Claw Market. You have Clawed Marketplace, and these are all connected like you can see right here. And also if you ever want to update your skills, you can do it like so.
So if we go inside the skills section and we're like, okay, I want my AI agents to be able to manage my email. I can type in email here, and from there, it's going to start searching for relevant skills that we can give to Hermes to start managing our email. So anything that you want to search and find or improve inside your Hermes agent, you can now search as a skill, and then once that's completed, you can then download those skills. So it will take a couple of minutes just to search across everything, but this just makes it way better for using as well. The other important thing here as well is that you can now see the verdict, right? So it actually analyzes the skill and tells you, okay, this is safe to install, which is pretty useful as well. We can also search GitHub as well, which is pretty useful too.
So you can find skills across multiple different places and then install whatever you want. So for example, and just to show you the old way versus the new way. So this is the old way and you can see it takes quite a long time to actually search for stuff. Whereas if we go inside the browse section here, actually found everything straight away. So we typed in social media and then we can see all of these different skills. Like now, if we click on them, you can see here that we can scan the skill. Why is that important? It's important because if you're installing skills, they've been created by other people and you're giving them access to your Hermes Agent or to anything that can, for example, do computer use or access your browser. You want to make sure that it's a skill you can trust. So how do you do that? I would always check the skill yourself. Don't just rely on the scan, but then you can also scan it here and check is it legit or not? Should you do it or not? So you can see here it says verdict and it says just be cautious of actually installing it and actually blocked the install, which is pretty interesting. If you do want to install it, you can click on that, you can re-scan it, you can also read the skill MD file. The reason that you would want to read the skill MD file is because you want to know, okay, what's in there? What instructions is it giving to my Hermes Agent? So the benefit of this is number one, you get loads of free skills, you can improve your Hermes Agent. Number two, those skills make your Hermes Agent much better. Number three, it's much easier to see the skill itself and understand it. And then number four, you can scan the skill to get an automatic verdict on, is it worth installing this or not? Is it useful or not? It's much faster to search across your skills as well. Plus you get a one-click install, so it's easy to set up as well, right? Which is pretty nice. So here's another one, like this setup here. And there's so many different skills. There's literally thousands and thousands of skills you can install. One thing to be careful of is the more skills you give your AI agent, the more it can slow it down, because if it's accessing all those skills and searching between them, sometimes you'll get confused. Sometimes it will use more API tokens, etc. So I would be careful in terms of which ones you manage and which ones you set up. But if you ever need to switch some off, no problem, right? You've got your list of all the skills here and you can just search between them and then switch them off if you need to as well, which is pretty cool. Now, this is something that I call the Goldie Skill Vault, which is basically a new framework thinking about this, right?
