Building skills is a hobby. Using them is the point.

A good skill takes a few rounds to get right: a description that triggers, steps that hold up in a fresh session, output that is short enough to read on your phone, and rules that keep it from sending anything without you.

The Skill Pack has done those rounds for the routines most people want, so you can install them in an afternoon and change them to fit.

What you get

12 ready-to-install skills

Each one in its own folder with a complete SKILL.md and a test message to try first.

Morning Brief · Weekly Review · Inbox Triage · Research Brief · Meeting Prep · Content Repurposer · Decision Journal · Reading Digest · Travel Planner · Receipt Notes · Personal Code Review · Memory Gardener

5 SOUL.md templates

Different ways of working, ready to fill in and copy to your Hermes folder.

The Focused Assistant · The Writing Partner · The Developer's Assistant · The Learning Coach · The Calm Planner

8 scheduled jobs

The exact command to create each one and a self-contained prompt that stays quiet when there is nothing new.

Daily Morning Brief · Friday Weekly Review · Bill and Renewal Reminders · Reading Digest · Page Change Watch · Monthly Memory Review · Weekly Cost Check · Skill and Cron Audit

Safe config and checklist

A commented starting config (approvals, memory review, a cheaper model for scheduled jobs) and a security checklist for your computer or VPS.

Format: a PDF guide plus a ZIP with ready-to-install folders and files.

A 60 minute setup path

  2. Pick a SOUL.md template and fill in the brackets
  3. Install three skills and send each its test message
  4. Schedule one job and check it delivers
