All skills live in **`~/.hermes/skills/`** -- a single directory that is the source of truth. On fresh install, bundled skills are copied there from the repo. Hub-installed skills and agent-created skills also go here. The agent can modify or delete any skill. `hermes update` adds only genuinely new bundled skills (via a manifest) without overwriting your changes or re-adding skills you deleted.
**Using Skills:**
Every installed skill is automatically available as a slash command — type `/<skill-name>` to invoke it directly:
```bash
# In the CLI or any messaging platform (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp):
/gif-search funny cats
/axolotl help me fine-tune Llama 3 on my dataset
/github-pr-workflow create a PR for the auth refactor
# Just the skill name (no prompt) loads the skill and lets the agent ask what you need:
/excalidraw
```
The skill's full instructions (SKILL.md) are loaded into the conversation, and any supporting files (references, templates, scripts) are listed for the agent to pull on demand via the `skill_view` tool. Type `/help` to see all available skill commands.
You can also use skills through natural conversation:
```bash
hermes --toolsets skills -q "What skills do you have?"
hermes --toolsets skills -q "Show me the axolotl skill"
