Nous Research has added /learn to the Hermes Agent Skills System. The command authors a standards-compliant SKILL.md from a local directory, a doc URL, a past conversation, or pasted notes. The live agent sources the material with its own tools, then writes the skill — no hand-writing and no separate ingestion engine. Here is how it works, where it fits, and what to review before trusting the output.

We look at Hermes Agent's new asynchronous subagents from Nous Research. The delegate tool can now spawn background agents that no longer block the parent chat. We walk through the async_delegation toolset tracked in issue #5586, covering how to spawn, check, steer, and collect tasks. We also cover subagent isolation, the synchronous-versus-asynchronous tradeoffs, and when to reach for ACP instead The post Hermes Agent Adds Asynchronous Subagents, So Delegated Work No Longer Blocks the Parent Chat appeared first on MarkTechPost.
The Hermes Agent dashboard now builds complete agent profiles in one flow, replacing multi-step CLI setup for users. The post Nous Research Ships Hermes Agent Profile Builder: Identity, Model, Skills, and MCP Servers in One Dashboard Flow appeared first on MarkTechPost.
In this tutorial, we explore the ClawHub Security Signals dataset to see how scanners assess AI skills. We load the data from the Hugging Face Parquet conversion and inspect verdicts, scanner outputs, and severity labels. We measure how VirusTotal, static analysis, and SkillSpector overlap and disagree using Jaccard scores and Cohen's kappa. Finally, we combine SKILL.md text with scanner signals to train a logistic regression model for ClawScan verdicts.
