Getting Started

How do I install a skill?

Each skill comes with installation instructions. Most skills are a single file you drop into your Hermes Agent's skills directory, then configure your API keys. Most installs take under 5 minutes.

Do I need Hermes Agent installed first?

Yes. All HermesCentral skills are built for the Hermes Agent platform. You'll need a working Hermes Agent installation before installing any of our skills.

What operating systems are supported?

Hermes Agent runs on macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Linux. All skills are platform-agnostic — if Hermes runs, the skills run.

Skills & Pricing

Are skills free?

All currently available skills are free. Install them, use them, keep them. As we build more advanced skills and integrations, some may have a price — but core operational skills will always be free.

Do I need plugins or vector databases?

No. Hermes Agent has native memory with up to 1M token context. Our skills work directly with the built-in memory system — no retrieval plugins, no vector databases, no external dependencies.

What's the difference between "Available" and "Coming Soon" skills?

"Available" skills are ready to install right now — they're tested and running in production at SmartHomes. "Coming Soon" skills are in active development and will be published as soon as they're production-ready.

Technical Support

A skill isn't working. What do I do?

First, check that your API keys and configuration are correct — most issues are config-related. If you're still stuck, reach out and describe what you expected to happen vs. what actually happened. Include any error messages.

Can I use these skills with other AI platforms?

HermesCentral skills are built specifically for the Hermes Agent platform. They use Hermes-native memory and tool patterns. For OpenClaw-compatible tools, check out OpenClawCentral.

Do skills conflict with each other?

No. All skills are designed to work alongside each other. They use separate configuration files and don't compete for resources. You can run as many skills as you need simultaneously.
