Best Places to Find Hermes Agent Skills in 2026

The Remote OpenClaw Hermes skills hub is the best place to find Hermes Agent skills in 2026, followed by Hermes Atlas, the awesome-hermes-agent list, ClawHub, skills.sh, and GitHub topic search. This roundup ranks all six sources on catalog size, curation quality, and how quickly you get from browsing to an installed skill, and every entry was verified live in early July 2026.

Disclosure: Remote OpenClaw is our own directory, so we have an obvious interest in ranking it first. Every claim behind that ranking is publicly verifiable on our live stats page, and each competitor below gets a fair entry with its real strengths and one honest limitation.

How We Ranked These Sources

We ranked each source on four factors: how much of the Hermes ecosystem it covers, whether entries are curated or raw, whether it gives you a working install path, and cost. Hermes Agent skills are SKILL.md files, structured markdown that the agent loads as procedural memory, as documented in the official Nous Research skills docs. That open format matters for this list: it means both Hermes-specific directories and cross-agent skill directories are valid places to look.

If you are new to the format itself, read our Hermes Agent skills guide first. This post assumes you know what a skill is and want to know where to get more of them; for the cross-agent picture, see our umbrella comparison of the best agent skills directories.

1. Remote OpenClaw Hermes Skills Hub (Best Overall)

The Remote OpenClaw Hermes skills hub is a dedicated Hermes Agent directory that separates skills into the three categories Hermes actually uses: bundled skills that ship with the agent, optional official skills, and community skills. That structure mirrors how Hermes organizes skills internally, so you are browsing the way the agent installs.

The hub sits inside the wider Remote OpenClaw index, which tracked 13,870+ MCP servers, 4,384+ agent skills, and 3,687+ plugins across five agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, plus Cursor and other MCP clients) as of early July 2026. Three things back the number-one ranking:

• Free with no account required. Browsing, searching, and copying install details cost nothing.
• Public analytics. Every count above updates daily on the stats page, so you can audit the catalog size yourself instead of taking our word for it.
• Terminal and agent access. Running npx remoteopenclaw search <query> searches the same index from your terminal, or from inside an agent via the open-source MCP server.

The honest caveat: it is our directory, which is why this entire ranking leans on numbers you can check rather than adjectives.

2. Hermes Atlas (Best Community Map)

Hermes Atlas is a curated community map of the Hermes Agent ecosystem, maintained by ksimback, that listed roughly 95 repositories across 12 categories when we checked in July 2026. Categories span skills, memory providers, plugins, and deployment tools, with live GitHub star and freshness metrics on each entry plus a weekly "featured" rotation.

It is genuinely good at the map job: quality filtering keeps abandoned projects out, and the curated lists (memory providers, top skills, deployment options) answer real setup questions. Hermes Atlas also indexes tools from across the ecosystem, including Remote OpenClaw's own MCP search tool, which is a fair sign it aims at completeness rather than favorites.

One limitation: directory entries do not include install commands, so after finding a skill you still jump to the repository and work out installation yourself, and the weekly curation cadence can lag fast-moving releases.

3. awesome-hermes-agent (Best for Depth)

The awesome-hermes-agent repository by 0xNyk had 4.4k stars and roughly 200+ resources across 13+ sections as of its June 24, 2026 review, which pinned the ecosystem at Hermes v0.17.0. It goes deeper than any other source on non-skill resources: memory backends, dashboards, multi-agent setups, and operational playbooks, each tagged production, beta, or experimental.

Those maturity tags are the standout feature. Knowing a skill is tagged experimental before you install it saves real debugging time on a self-improving agent like Hermes.

One limitation: entries are community-contributed, so quality varies between maturity tiers and links can go stale between review passes.

4. ClawHub (Best Cross-Compatible Marketplace)

ClawHub is the OpenClaw ecosystem's skills and plugins marketplace, and because both OpenClaw and Hermes Agent skills are SKILL.md folders, most ClawHub skills port to Hermes with minor edits. It has the strongest security posture of any source on this list: Skill Vetter and SkillScan screening, signed manifests, and moderated releases, features added after the moderation problems we documented in our ClawHub malicious skills audit.

One limitation: it is built for OpenClaw, so there is no Hermes-native install path. You install via the clawhub CLI or GitHub import, then move the skill folder into your Hermes skills directory and check for OpenClaw-specific metadata yourself.

5. skills.sh (Best Install Data)

skills.sh is Vercel's agent skills leaderboard, and it is the only source here with real install counts: its top skill, find-skills from vercel-labs, showed 2.3M installs as of July 2026. Skills install with npx skills add <owner/repo> into 22 supported agents, and trending filters surface what the ecosystem is actually adopting this week rather than what was popular last quarter.

Since skills.sh skills follow the same open Agent Skills format Hermes reads, the catalog is usable even though it is not Hermes-specific.

One limitation: Hermes Agent is not among skills.sh's named install targets, so the CLI will not place files for you; you copy the SKILL.md folder into Hermes manually, and the leaderboard ranks popularity rather than published vetting criteria.

6. GitHub Topic Search (Biggest Raw Pool)

GitHub's hermes-agent topic listed 1,760 public repositories as of July 2026, making it the largest raw pool of Hermes-related code anywhere. Sorting by recently updated is the fastest way to find brand-new skills that no directory has indexed yet, and searching SKILL.md hermes in GitHub code search surfaces skills that were never tagged at all.

One limitation: there is zero curation. Star counts are the only quality signal, and you are responsible for reading every skill before letting a self-improving agent execute it.

Comparison Table

Here is how all six sources compare on the factors that matter for finding Hermes Agent skills, verified in July 2026.

When Not to Use a Directory

Directories are the wrong tool when the skill you need is specific to your own workflow, because Hermes Agent can generate skills from its own experience. After completing a complex task, Hermes can propose a SKILL.md capturing the procedure, and that self-generated skill will fit your environment better than anything you download. Browse directories for commodity capabilities (integrations, formats, deployment recipes) and let the agent grow bespoke ones.

Also skip third-party skills entirely for anything touching credentials or money until you have read the full SKILL.md and any bundled scripts. A skill is executable instructions for an agent with your permissions, and only ClawHub among the sources above applies automated security screening.
