HERMES AGENT HAS 200+ COMMUNITY REPOS. YOU NEED 5 OF THEM. HERE ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT MATTER AND WHEN TO USE EACH.
215K stars on the main repo. 90,000+ skills in the Hub. 180+ tools in the ecosystem.
most of it is noise. these five are not.
- awesome-hermes-skills (ZeroPointRepo)
the only list you need on day one.
85 built-in skills + 101 optional + 85 community. every skill tagged by status with install command.
use it before you write a single custom skill. most “I need a skill for X” questions are already answered in the built-in catalog.
check what you already have: hermes skills list
then browse the repo for what’s missing.
- camofox-browser (jo-inc) — 4,000+
stealth headless browser with REST API. bypasses Cloudflare, bot detection, anti-scraping. drop-in Puppeteer/Playwright replacement.
use it when: your VPS-hosted Hermes keeps getting blocked on scraping tasks.
this is the fix for “the agent can’t read that site.”
- hermes-workspace (outsourc-e)
web-based GUI: chat, terminal, memory browser, skills manager, inspector. built at Nous Hackathon 2026.
use it when: you don’t want to live in the CLI and the Desktop app doesn’t cover your workflow.
the most complete third-party interface for Hermes.
- evey-setup (42-evey)
one-command setup for the full Hermes stack. free models + 29 plugins configured.
use it when: you’re starting from zero and want a working setup in minutes instead of configuring providers, tools, and plugins one at a time.
by a frequent Hermes core contributor.
- hermes-payguard (nativ3ai)
safe USDC and x402 payments. spending limits. approval flows.
use it when: your agent handles money. after the Stripe Link CLI integration, agents can buy things and top off credits. payguard adds hard spending caps on top of the approval layer.
WHAT TO SKIP (and why):
→ skill marketplaces: Skills Hub has 90,000 skills. hermes skills search covers it.
→ fleet management dashboards: built for teams running 10+ agents. solo founders don’t need it.
→ MCP discovery tools: you need 3-5 MCPs, not 18,000.
→ session audit tools: hermes insights covers cost tracking natively.
→ skill evolution frameworks: Curator + /learn handle 99% of skill maintenance built-in. self-evolution is for advanced users running one skill hundreds of times.
WHERE TO FIND THE REST:
hermesatlas. com — 180+ tools, live GitHub data, quality-filtered, security reviewed, curated weekly.
github. com/0xNyk/awesome-hermes-agent github. com/SamurAIGPT/awesome-hermes-agent
Nous Research Discord for direct support.
start with these five. add more when you hit a specific wall. the ecosystem rewards depth over breadth.
