Hermes Agent Gets a 103-Skill Operating Layer
This project turns vague requests to Hermes Agent into governed, evidence-bound workflows so the agent stops hallucinating progress reports.

What it does OMH is an operating layer that sits atop NousResearch’s Hermes Agent, organizing 103 installable workflow skills into six capability families covering planning, research, coding, and memory. It frames incoming requests, selects the appropriate workflow, and enforces explicit evidence boundaries so the agent reports only what actually happened rather than what it hopes happened.
The interesting bit Most agent frameworks celebrate autonomous action; OMH celebrates restraint. It separates prepared intent from observed runtime events and refuses to let the agent claim a CI pass, merge, or deployment without proof, treating project memory as a review-first ledger instead of a scrapbook.
Key highlights
- 103 workflow skills grouped into six families, from planning to memory
- Classifies operator requests across eight languages locally, with no translation API
- Enforces evidence boundaries: intent, observed events, and verified results stay separated
- Treats project memory as review-first, only surfacing approved context in future handoffs
- Checks tool and connector readiness before letting work depend on external systems
Verdict If you are already living inside the Hermes Agent ecosystem and want an agent that files paperwork before it claims victory, this is your upgrade. Everyone else is just watching a very organized prompt library from the outside.
