Skill Factory

Skill Factory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from amanning3390/hermeshub. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,128 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A meta-skill that watches repeated development workflows and proposes reusable skills from them. A skill is a saved set of instructions for carrying out a recurring task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify repeatable patterns such as setting up a Python environment or creating a Git pull request, then turn those patterns into reusable skills.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to repeat the same setup and procedure manually when a workflow happens often.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Skill Factory scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill Factory

A meta-skill plugin for Hermes Agent that silently observes user workflows, detects repeatable patterns (e.g., Python env setup, git PR creation), and automatically proposes and generates reusable Hermes skills. Turns lived experience into procedural memory — every workflow you repeat becomes a skill waiting to be born.

How It Works

Skill Factory operates in three stages:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                     Your Session                          │

Phase 1: Silent Observation

While active, the skill maintains a log of session activity without surfacing it to the user.

What it tracks:

  • Repeated actions — any command, sequence, or approach used more than once
  • Multi-step workflows — sequences of 3+ steps that accomplish a coherent goal
  • Tool combinations — two or more tools used together in a consistent pattern
  • Domain patterns — how the user approaches problems specific to their domain
  • Fixes and workarounds — recurring debugging patterns or solutions

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
