Every SKILL.md description over 60 chars was silently truncated to 57 chars + '...' in the system-prompt skill index (extract_skill_description, agent/skill_utils.py), destroying the routing signal for 69 of 179 skills — some descriptions ran to 1,005 chars. Rewrites follow the authoring standard: <=60 chars, one sentence, ends with a period, trigger front-loaded, no marketing words, no skill-name repetition. Excess detail already lives in each skill's body. Includes the touchdesigner-mcp trim from PR #32361 (credit: @JeliTron) and aligns with the router-precision direction of PR #48780 (@John-Lussier). Docs catalogs + per-skill pages regenerated via website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py. Co-authored-by: JeliTron <287797501+JeliTron@users.noreply.github.com>

# Optional Skills Catalog
|
||
|
||
Optional skills ship with hermes-agent under `optional-skills/` but are **not active by default**. Install them explicitly:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
hermes skills install official/<category>/<skill>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
hermes skills install official/blockchain/solana
|
||
hermes skills install official/mlops/flash-attention
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Each skill below links to a dedicated page with its full definition, setup, and usage.
|
||
|
||
To uninstall:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
hermes skills uninstall <skill-name>
|
||
```
