#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ sync-hermes-skills.py — Install claude-code-skills into Hermes Agent. Hermes Agent (https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) discovers skills from ~/.hermes/skills/. This script creates symlinks from our repo's skill directories into Hermes's skill directory, preserving the category structure. Both tools use the agentskills.io standard (SKILL.md with YAML frontmatter), so no format conversion is needed — just symlink the directories.
