## Should the Skill Be Bundled?
## Where Should the Skill Live?
Bundled skills (in `skills/`) ship with every Hermes install. They should be **broadly useful to most users**:
- Document handling, web research, common dev workflows, system administration
- Used regularly by a wide range of people
If your skill is specialized (a niche engineering tool, a specific SaaS integration, a game), it's better suited for a **Skills Hub** — upload it to a registry and share it via `hermes skills install`.
If your skill is official and useful but not universally needed (e.g., a paid service integration, a heavyweight dependency), put it in **`optional-skills/`** — it ships with the repo, is discoverable via `hermes skills browse` (labeled "official"), and installs with builtin trust.
If your skill is specialized, community-contributed, or niche, it's better suited for a **Skills Hub** — upload it to a registry and share it via `hermes skills install`.
