External Skill Directories

From Official Docs · September 25, 2026

If you maintain skills outside of Hermes - for example, a shared ~/.agents/skills/ directory used by multiple AI tools - you can tell Hermes to scan those directories too. Add external_dirs under the skills section in ~/.hermes/config.yaml : Paths support ~ expansion and ${VAR} environment variable substitution.

From the official Hermes Agent documentation.

  external_dirs:
    - ~/.agents/skills
    - /home/shared/team-skills
    - ${SKILLS_REPO}/skills
