Installation

# One-shot install (all 40 skills)
hermes skills install /home/thanvish/.hermes/skills/hcc-bundle

# Or install from the skill directory directly
hermes skills install hcc-bundle

Individual Skill Installation

Each skill can also be installed individually from the bundle:

hermes skills install hcc-bundle/agentic-engineering
hermes skills install hcc-bundle/security-review
# ... etc

Post-Install

After installation, enable skills for your platform:

hermes skills config  # Interactive enable/disable per platform

Or load explicitly in a session:

hermes -s agentic-engineering,security-review,deployment-patterns

Design Principles

1. Hermes-Native — No CLAUDE.md references, no git config --global, no npm/pip install commands
2. Toolset-Aware — Skills reference Hermes toolsets (web, terminal, file, code_execution, delegation, etc.)
3. Security-First — Passes Hermes skills-guard scanner (no persistence, no privilege escalation, no supply chain risks)
4. Composable — Each skill is independently installable and usable
5. Bundled — Single install gets the full ecosystem
