Ask Hermes to find and install a skill

Hermes Wingtips #93: the agent can search for a skill and run the install itself. Example prompt: “find a skill for flashcards and install it.” It picks a match, runs the security scan, then tells you what to say to use the skill. Aimed at fresh profiles and at people who do not know the skill name or the install command.

Why it matters

Cuts the catalog hunt. The scan step is the part worth keeping on, given yesterday’s supply-chain notes.

Which file does what: SOUL, USER, MEMORY

Tony Simons published a one-page cheat sheet, docs checked 2026-10-03. SOUL.md is personality and tone. USER.md is the user’s profile and preferences. MEMORY.md is facts the agent has learned. AGENTS.md / .hermes.md is project instructions. SKILL.md is a reusable procedure. Session history is prior chats, not a notes file. Memory saves persist; the prompt snapshot refreshes in a new session. Passwords and API keys stay out of the notes.
