agent-skills vs oh-my-hermes
AI agent development workflows compared
agent-skills provides reusable skills for specification-driven development, from requirements through testing and pull requests. oh-my-hermes extends Hermes Agent with task routing, workflow tracking, verification gates, and reviewed project memory, so the main difference is a general skills collection versus a Hermes-specific operating layer.
agent-skills: Structure AI-Assisted Development from Specs to PRs
A collection of reusable skills for AI coding agents, covering specification writing, implementation, review, testing, and autonomous sprint workflows. Useful for teams that want repeatable processes and clearer quality gates across agent sessions.
oh-my-hermes: Add Governed Workflows to Hermes Agent
oh-my-hermes adds model routing, coding workflows, verification gates, and reviewed long-term project memory to Hermes Agent. It suits developers who want structured, observable agent work without replacing Hermes or silently treating a reported result as verified.

Key differences
- agent-skills supports agents using the SKILL.md format, while oh-my-hermes is an extension for Hermes Agent.
- agent-skills focuses on turning specifications into implementation, review, tests, and pull requests; oh-my-hermes routes and tracks work across planning, coding, research, and operations.
- agent-skills is written in Shell, while oh-my-hermes is written in Python.
- Both projects use the MIT license.
- agent-skills includes an optional autonomous sprint harness with checkpoints and PR creation; oh-my-hermes separates reported completion from verification and does not automatically merge delegated work.
- oh-my-hermes has 3.1k stars and 240 forks, while agent-skills has 2 stars and 0 forks.
Choose agent-skills if you…
- need reusable specification-to-PR skills for agents that support SKILL.md.
- want structured reviews, tests, and acceptance plans tied to documented requirements.
- want to trial an optional autonomous sprint workflow within human-defined boundaries.
Choose oh-my-hermes if you…
- already use Hermes Agent and want routing and workflow tracking for delegated tasks.
- need execution and verification status to be tracked separately.
- want reviewed, file-backed project memory or explicit handoffs to Codex or Claude Code.
