Summary

Hermes Agent has added native support for skill bundles, allowing multiple skills to be triggered together. The author advises bundling only logically chained workflows to avoid conflicting instructions.

Hermes Agent just shipped skill bundles I used to do this myself with skill-chains (one skill that referenced and called multiple other skills), now it's native and better but you need to be careful about how you use them when you trigger a bundle, the agent receives every skill in that bundle loaded into a single user message. any text after the slash command gets attached as your instruction. this means the quality of your output depends entirely on how well those skills compose together. if you stack five skills that don't naturally connect, you end up with conflicting instructions firing at once. the agent gets confused and output drifts. here's a rule for it, bundle workflows that chain together logically. something like research → ideate → write → critic works because each step feeds the next. bundling random utility skills just because they're useful in the same project will create noise. start with the workflows you've run more than twice this week. if you keep triggering the same three skills in sequence, bundle them. if you're just grouping skills for convenience, keep them separate.

Hermes Agent just shipped skill bundles

I used to do this myself with skill-chains (one skill that referenced and called multiple other skills), now it’s native and better

but you need to be careful about how you use them

when you trigger a bundle, the agent receives every skill in that bundle loaded into a single user message. any text after the slash command gets attached as your instruction. this means the quality of your output depends entirely on how well those skills compose together.

if you stack five skills that don’t naturally connect, you end up with conflicting instructions firing at once. the agent gets confused and output drifts.

here’s a rule for it, bundle workflows that chain together logically. something like research → ideate → write → critic works because each step feeds the next. bundling random utility skills just because they’re useful in the same project will create noise.

start with the workflows you’ve run more than twice this week. if you keep triggering the same three skills in sequence, bundle them. if you’re just grouping skills for convenience, keep them separate.
