Skill for Hermes Agent

Postproxy × Hermes

Give your self-hosted Hermes agent real social publishing. Post, schedule, and manage content across 11 platforms from Telegram, Slack, or on a cron schedule.

Install the Postproxy skill, add one API key to ~/.hermes/.env, and Hermes publishes in natural language — the agent only ever holds the Postproxy key.
