"""
Skill Manager Tool -- Agent-Managed Skill Creation & Editing
Allows the agent to create, update, and delete skills, turning successful
approaches into reusable procedural knowledge. New skills are created in
~/.hermes/skills/. Existing skills (bundled, hub-installed, or user-created)
can be modified or deleted wherever they live.
Skills are the agent's procedural memory: they capture *how to do a specific
type of task* based on proven experience. General memory (MEMORY.md, USER.md) is
broad and declarative. Skills are narrow and actionable.
Actions:
create -- Create a new skill (SKILL.md + directory structure)
edit -- Replace the SKILL.md content of a user skill (full rewrite)
patch -- Targeted find-and-replace within SKILL.md or any supporting file
delete -- Remove a user skill entirely
write_file -- Add/overwrite a supporting file (reference, template, script, asset)
remove_file-- Remove a supporting file from a user skill
Directory layout for user skills:
~/.hermes/skills/
βββ my-skill/
β βββ SKILL.md
β βββ references/
β βββ templates/
β βββ scripts/
β βββ assets/
βββ category-name/
βββ another-skill/
βββ SKILL.md
