Shared skill library for OpenClaw and Hermes Agent — a single GitHub source of truth for cross-agent skills.

Architecture

ai-global-skills/
  skills/
    openclaw/     ← Skills in OpenClaw SKILL.md format (synced into workspace/skills/)
    hermes/       ← Skills in Hermes format (installed via `hermes skills tap`)
    shared/       ← Format-neutral skills (markdown/prompts) used by both agents
  scripts/
    sync.sh               ← Pull latest from GitHub (launchd daily 06:00)
    sync-to-openclaw.sh   ← Deploy global skills into OpenClaw workspace/skills/
    push-from-openclaw.sh ← Export an OpenClaw skill to the global pool

How Each Agent Consumes Skills

OpenClaw

• Skills live in ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/ (git repo: joakimarvidsson/openclaw-workspace)
• Global skills from skills/openclaw/ and skills/shared/ are synced in by scripts/sync-to-openclaw.sh
• OpenClaw also auto-creates and saves skills during sessions (built-in skill creation nudge)
• The workspace repo is the primary store — doctor will overwrite external_dirs so we don't use it

Hermes Agent

• Skills installed via hermes skills tap pointing to this repo (joakimarvidsson/ai-global-skills)
• Hermes auto-creates skills during sessions (built-in creation_nudge_interval: 15)
• Browse/search/install from the tap: hermes skills search <query>
• Update all tap skills: hermes skills update

Publishing a New Shared Skill

# From OpenClaw workspace → global pool
~/ai-global-skills/scripts/push-from-openclaw.sh <skill-name> [openclaw|shared]

# Then Hermes picks it up automatically via tap update
hermes skills update

Syncing Latest Skills to OpenClaw

~/ai-global-skills/scripts/sync-to-openclaw.sh

This runs automatically via launchd at 06:00 daily.
