@dzhechkov/adapter-hermes

The Hermes Agent (Nous Research) platform adapter for the DZ cross-platform harness.

It implements the Adapter contract from @dzhechkov/core, compiling a CanonicalSkill into the layout Hermes scans — .hermes/skills/<id>/SKILL.md plus any bundled scripts/, references/, and assets/ files.

Lossless

Hermes Agent's skills are compatible with the agentskills.io open standard and use progressive disclosure. So this adapter performs no lossy transformation; it is a thin wrapper over @dzhechkov/core's emitSkillTree, pinned to Hermes's skills root.

Hermes skills are conventionally global (~/.hermes/skills/). This adapter emits the relative path .hermes/skills/<id>/; the harness chooses whether the target root is the home directory or a project.

API

import { hermesAdapter } from '@dzhechkov/adapter-hermes';

const emit = await hermesAdapter.compile(skill, { targetRoot: '.' });
// emit.files -> [{ path: '.hermes/skills/<id>/SKILL.md', content, encoding }, ...]

compile and verify are pure — they return data, never touch the filesystem.

Status

0.1.0 — alpha, part of the extended-a-migration feature (Phase 4).
