What each one does

Skill	Why it's first-class
humanizer	Writes in a human voice, not AI slop. First thing anyone notices about an agent's output.
memory-discipline	What to remember, what to forget. Makes an agent improve over time instead of starting fresh each week.
skill-authoring	Solve once, save the procedure, never relearn it. What makes Hermes more than a chat box.
obsidian-vault	The shared-brain pattern: human-readable markdown notes the agent reads and writes.
pdf-document-processing	Day-one utility: contracts, receipts, reports, forms. Real paperwork on Monday morning.
persona-builder	Gives the agent a character that survives model swaps — SOUL.md voice, values, boundaries. Identity lives in the file, not the weights.
user-profile	Teaches the agent who you are — profile building, corrections, the 6-month filter. No more starting from zero every session.

Notes

• humanizer ships with Hermes out of the box. This copy is the tuned version (2.9.1) with the Showcase-vs-Sales voice extension and the never-invent-facts rule.
• humanizer is based on Siqi Chen's (@blader) original, ported by Hermes Agent; see skills/humanizer/LICENSE.
• All five pass the Hermes Skills Guard scan (safe verdict).
