Hermes Plugin Development

Goal

Design, implement, and validate Hermes general plugins without drifting into provider-plugin internals.

When To Use

Use this skill for:

• New Hermes plugins under ~/.hermes/plugins/<name>/ or .hermes/plugins/<name>/
• Existing plugin edits involving plugin.yaml, __init__.py, schemas.py, or tools.py
• Adding Hermes tools, hooks, slash commands, CLI commands, or bundled skills
• Debugging discovery, missing env gating, or opt-in enablement problems

Do not use this skill as the primary guide for memory-provider or context-engine plugins. Mention them only as specialized follow-on work.
