Your assistant isn't dumb. It just improvises a slightly different answer every time, because your standards live in your head. Skills are those standards, written down once in plain English, loaded automatically when your assistant recognizes the situation.
Copy the setup prompt and paste it into Claude. It asks what you want to be better at, shows you the few skills that fit, and waits for your yes before saving anything.
These are not a prompt roundup. They are the procedures running four AI agents that work every day on research, money, code, and communication. Each one loads the 13 to 18 of these that fit its job.
One prompt. Nothing is saved until you approve it.
Uses Claude, which is a ChatGPT-style app with a free plan. ChatGPT can't do this yet. (Also Hermes, if you run your own agent.)
You don't need to pick from this list. The setup prompt asks what you want and suggests a few. This is just what's in there.
Every name links to the skill itself, so you can read exactly what it tells your AI to do before you install it.
When you need to know something, or decide something.
“Go figure this out” comes back with a recommendation and what would change it, instead of a reading list.
Consults several different AI models on Hermes; on Claude it uses Claude alone.
What real people are saying right now on Reddit, X, and YouTube, not the SEO version.
Runs a draft, plan, or decision past several critical angles before you send it.
Reviews with several different AI models on Hermes; on Claude, Claude reviews its own work.
For work that drags on, stalls, or piles up.
It finishes the job instead of stopping to ask you which option you want.
Runs a portfolio of long projects like a chief of staff.

Its judgment, its memory, and its own upkeep.
Rules for when it acts on its own versus checks with you, and how it earns more rope.
Audits its own skills: duplicates, dead weight, and why one didn’t fire.
Written for Hermes' skill layout, so on Claude it advises rather than fully audits.
Tells you whether your agent is actually healthy.
Hermes only · For your own agent's setup
Skills are readable text files, not programs, and your AI follows them the way it follows any instruction. Some can direct it to use accounts and tools you have connected, so read what it proposes before approving, the same as any AI output. Every skill is public on GitHub, and you can delete one at any time.
The Claude website and phone app can only open pages they found in a search, so they sometimes refuse a link handed to them directly. Claude Code and the desktop app don't have this limit. When it happens, install the file instead:
Good ones to start with:
These three work fully in the Claude app and need no setup. Every skill in the library is on the releases page.
Tell it what you want to be better at. It suggests a few skills and shows them to you before anything is installed.
