Better Capabilities
Delete and package skills, browse their markdown files, and save per-profile on/off presets from one Settings page.
Good to know before installing
Deleting a skill from its page moves the skill folder out of `<HERMES_HOME>/skills` (on Windows to the Recycle Bin by running `powershell.exe`, elsewhere to `<HERMES_HOME>/better-capabilities-trash/`); applying a preset switches skills, toolsets and agent plugins on or off, including for other profiles the preset names.

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install better-capabilities - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable better-capabilities - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
