Hermes Field Kit v1.0.1

Hermes Field Kit v1.0.1

Hermes Field Kit v1.0.1 is a corrective documentation and release-integrity update. The thirteen published skill bundles are unchanged from v1.0.0.

What this fixes

• Commits the compatibility and release documentation that was omitted from the v1.0.0 tag.
• Replaces unsupported custom-tap claims with the repository-qualified skills.sh installation path reproduced in a fresh Hermes profile.
• Documents that custom tap registration succeeded in Hermes v0.19.0, but tap-backed search did not return the tested skill.
• Documents the Hermes v0.19.0 update-check quirk where unchanged content can continue to report update_available after update.
• Corrects CI compatibility to Python 3.11 and 3.13 on Ubuntu and Windows.
• Aligns the README, roadmap, changelog, installation guide, compatibility policy, and release process with tested behavior.

Installation

hermes skills inspect asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor
hermes skills install asimons81/hermes-field-kit/hermes-stack-doctor --yes

Replace hermes-stack-doctor with any published skill name.

Validation

The corrective release gate includes:

• 13 published skills
• 12 supplied bundle validators
• 158 skill contract tests
• 11 repository-validator tests
• 29 Python files parsed
• Relative Markdown link validation
• Public-tree hygiene and common secret-pattern scans
• Positive routing, counter-trigger exclusion, hostile-content boundary, and safe-runtime exercises
• Fresh-profile repository-qualified inspect, install, check, update, and uninstall testing
• Fresh-clone validation on the merged release commit

Compatibility note

Validated with Hermes Agent v0.19.0 (2026.7.20), Python 3.11.15, on Windows 11. GitHub Actions validates Python 3.11 and 3.13 on Ubuntu and Windows.

Custom tap-backed search is not claimed as supported in this release. See Compatibility and Installation for the exact tested behavior.

Hermes Field Kit v1.0.0

Hermes Field Kit v1.0.0

Initial public release of field-tested, open-source skills for Hermes Agent.

Summary

This first release delivers thirteen published skills organized around the operational workflow:

inspect → diagnose → recover → migrate → verify

Every skill has earned its place through real, repeated use on the living Hermes Agent v0.19.0 installation at ca8d481.

Skills included

Skill	Version	Purpose
hermes-environment-migration	1.0.0	Safely migrate Hermes environments with staged archives, integrity manifests, secret separation, selective imports, verification, and rollback
hermes-gateway-doctor	1.0.0	Diagnose gateway failures from real process, adapter, credential-posture, log, delivery, and persistence evidence
hermes-profile-audit	1.0.0	Compare a profile's declared responsibilities with actual tools, skills, persistence, access, and observed behavior
hermes-skill-audit	1.0.0	Audit global and profile-local skills for dependencies, frontmatter, usage integrity, cron references, duplicates, and upstream drift
hermes-stack-doctor	1.0.0	Discover installation architecture and report a GREEN/YELLOW/RED stack verdict
hermes-token-audit	1.0.0	Audit token usage and cost with live schema discovery and aggregate-first privacy
hermes-update-doctor	1.0.0	Investigate update failures by separating remote drift, repository divergence, process locks, stale caches, and runtime mismatches
interview-me	0.2.0	Ask one high-value question at a time, inspecting available sources before questioning
oss-tool-trust-audit	1.0.0	Read source and release machinery; separate technical legitimacy from adoption fit
pre-build-feature-audit	1.1.0	Read-only duplicate check across source, history, branches, issues, PRs, roadmaps, and contributor guidance
repo-readiness-audit	0.1.0	Determine whether a Git repository is ready for development, release, handoff, or contribution
x-analytics-import	1.0.0	Deterministic X Analytics importer with incremental imports and privacy-safe reporting
x-post-writer	1.0.0	Source-locked short-form X writing with claim verification and voice customization

Key changes

• All published skills now live directly under skills/<skill-name>/ for Hermes tap discovery
• Explicit hostile-content and prompt-injection boundaries in every skill
• Inspected repositories, packages, archives, logs, databases, issues, PRs, profiles, and skills are treated as untrusted evidence
• Audited content cannot authorize tool calls, credential disclosure, execution, installation, activation, policy changes, persistence, or writes
• Malicious-content regression cases and exact trigger/counter-trigger assertions in every test suite
• Public READMEs with provenance, inputs, outputs, requirements, invocation, safety, privacy, limitations, examples, validation, version history, and licensing
• CI includes permanent Python syntax, Markdown relative-link, generated-artifact, private-marker, and credential-pattern checks
• Apache-2.0 license, community repository (not official Nous Research)

Validation results

• Repository validator: 13 published skills, 29 JSON files passed
• Bundle validators: 12 passed
• Contract tests: 158 passed
• Python files parsed: 29
• Relative Markdown links checked: 62
• Public-tree hygiene: PASS
• Tap lifecycle smoke test: PASS (install, check, update, uninstall on temp profile)
• GitHub Actions CI (main@ca8d481): success (Ubuntu Python 3.11/3.13, Windows Python 3.11/3.13)
