Credit: @HermesWatcher — original post: https://x.com/HermesWatcher/status/2105311718825947418 Most agents still wake up with amnesia. Skills are how you stop renting memory and start owning a stack you can inspect. Hermes Agent (Nous Research, MIT, folder-based) loads these as SKILL.md packages. Ranked by stars. Audit before you install. 1. SUPERPOWERS — 293,062 stars Agentic engineering: plan, code, test, ship. https://github.com/obra/superpowers 2. ANTHROPIC SKILLS — 179,036 stars Official library: docs, PDFs, sheets, decks, general agent work. https://github.com/anthropics/skills 3.

I want to take a minute to thank @Jake Van Clief for giving me the opportunity to bring this material to our community. This community is more than just a place to post, it's a place to engage with people, to learn and grow together and I am grateful to Jake and the community for making this skool what it is. If you have been following the releases of my latest classes, the latest rung on the ladder is open! (If you are just getting here, do not worry, the first three rungs are open, and you can find the links below in the "where you are standing" section of this post ☺️) Rung three built what survives the window. Rung four is what runs without you, open from today. Think of the last thing you asked the model to redo. It drafted, you read it, you said "shorter." It drafted again, you read again, you said "warmer." Then "send it." Four rounds, and every one of them waited on you, because the only thing that knew what good looked like was sitting in your head. That is not the model being lazy. That is a loop with a person welded into the middle of it, and the person is you. 📚 What just opened: Loop Engineering, the whole rung at once. The Overview draws the line the rung stands on, single-pass against a closed circuit, and the three classes carry one claim each: (1) The acting is easy, the evaluating is hard (2) A loop that does not know when to stop is not careful, it is lost (3) Some judgment stays with a person, on purpose Then the payoff, the whole series on one card, and my perspective on rung four. By the end you own a loop: your "done when" line rewritten as a check the system runs on its own work, a rule for when it stops, and one clear place where you still sign off. Fewer "agains," and every one that is left is one you chose. 🪜 Where you are standing (Rungs 1, 2 & 3 should be completed) If not, you can find them here. They are in order and should be taken from series 1 to series 2 and so on: PROMPT ENGINEERING 📚 Series 1 Overview

Here is a skill I created that will audit a current slide deck or make a brand new one based on how I love to build them. Point it at work you want to present and watch the magic happen. RinDig/lecture-deck-skill: Build animated, themed HTML lecture and workshop decks from a storyboard. A Claude skill plus a Python kit with three themes.

Playing around with new Claude mods functionality and this plugin I just made will let you dive deeper into where all your context is being used. Works in terminal or the desktop app and sits right above the text input box. https://github.com/donroy26/context-drilldown I always looked at the context menu and wondered exactly what tools or memory is being used in each session and now it’s part of the UI. Let me know what you think or if this gives you any other ideas what you’d like to see next!

I started with five image prompts around my Raptor. I kept asking for more intention: early-2000s summer on film, with the person and truck still recognisable. That became Vybe-Check, now a public release candidate. Give Each Choice A Reason Gather context. Agree the brief. Refine one choice at a time, keeping the decisions that worked. An image can stand alone or become the starting point for a video prompt. I still make the creative calls. The essay replays my Raptor test with precomputed images and interactive controls. The public repo is linked there. Choose the priority. Agree the brief. Keep the decisions. https://aris-space.com/documents/ari-os/vybe-check //A<3
