# Atlas Skill Inventory

Last audited: 2026-05-14
Owner: ops profile
Source workstream: Atlas Capability Upgrade Program — Workstream 10

## Purpose

This note maps the skills Atlas should rely on for Hermes, gateway messaging, Kanban, Obsidian, local services, and lifecycle maintenance. Use it during monthly/quarterly skill audits and when deciding whether a repeated workflow should become a skill patch, a new skill, or a backlog item.

## Inventory and owner map

| Skill | Path | Domain | Owner profile | Trigger / when-to-use | Linked workflows | Risk tier | Last audited | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| hermes-agent | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md` | Hermes CLI, config, profiles, gateway, cron, providers, tools | ops | Configure, set up, troubleshoot, or explain Hermes Agent | Gateway, cron, profiles, MCP, tools, security toggles | High: can affect production gateway/config | 2026-05-14 | Canonical Hermes operations reference; patch only after verified CLI/docs drift. |
| hermes-agent-skill-authoring | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/software-development/hermes-agent-skill-authoring/SKILL.md` | In-repo skill authoring | ops / engineer | Add or edit skills intended for the Hermes source repo | Frontmatter validation, repo placement, commit workflow | Medium: repo/source changes | 2026-05-14 | Good for shipped skills; pair with `skill-tightening-lifecycle` for user-local lifecycle policy. |
| skill-tightening-lifecycle | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/devops/skill-tightening-lifecycle/SKILL.md` | Skill audit, creation, patching, backlog policy | ops | Decide create vs patch vs backlog and run skill audits | Workstream 10, recurring skill lifecycle | Medium: governs durable procedural memory | 2026-05-14 | Created by implementation task. |
| kanban-worker | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md` | Kanban worker execution | all kanban worker profiles | Running a dispatched Kanban task | Worker lifecycle, review-required handoff, retries | Medium: durable task state | 2026-05-14 | Strong; include in periodic audit. |
| kanban-orchestrator | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator/SKILL.md` | Kanban task decomposition | planner / atlas / ops | Break a high-level goal into specialist tasks | Board fan-out, dependencies, synthesis | Medium: task routing decisions | 2026-05-14 | Strong; include in periodic audit. |
| webhook-subscriptions | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/devops/webhook-subscriptions/SKILL.md` | Event-driven automation | ops | Configure or troubleshoot Hermes webhook routes | Workstream 6, event-driven agent runs | High: incoming automation routes | 2026-05-14 | Good; cross-link for scheduled audits as event source. |
| obsidian | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/note-taking/obsidian/SKILL.md` | Obsidian vault file operations | writer / ops | Read, search, create, or edit notes in Will's Obsidian vault | Project notes, artifacts, runbooks | Medium: durable knowledge artifacts | 2026-05-14 | Useful file guidance; Atlas-specific project-memory conventions remain backlog. |
| native-mcp | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/mcp/native-mcp/SKILL.md` | MCP server setup | ops | Configure or troubleshoot native MCP servers | Local tool integrations, external tools | High: tool surface changes | 2026-05-14 | Existing coverage for MCP mechanics. |
| llama-cpp | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/mlops/inference/llama-cpp/SKILL.md` | Local GGUF inference | ops / mlops | Use llama.cpp local inference or HF model discovery | Workstream 5 local model routing | Medium: local compute/config | 2026-05-14 | Relevant local model skill; broader local-services playbook remains backlog. |
| teams-meeting-pipeline | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline/SKILL.md` | Meeting pipeline operations | ops | Operate Teams meeting summary pipeline | Notifications, transcripts, automations | Medium: external service workflow | 2026-05-14 | Good model for service-specific operational runbooks. |
| swarm | `/home/will/.hermes/profiles/ops/skills/devops/swarm/SKILL.md` | Will's swarm host/services | ops | Swarm service wiring and local infra runbooks | n8n, local services, host-side operations | High: Will-specific infrastructure | 2026-05-14 | Present locally; include in local-services audit after Workstream 3 confirms safe wrappers. |

## Audit procedure

1. Run `hermes skills list` and `hermes skills check` from the active profile.
2. Load each relevant skill with `skill_view` before relying on it.
3. Verify suspected drift with live CLI help, source/docs reads, logs, or targeted smoke tests.
4. Patch only verified, narrow drift; backlog unverified or policy-dependent items.
5. Record changed paths, validation commands, and open risks in Kanban handoff.

## Cadence

- Monthly light audit: inventory freshness, obvious stale commands, missing backlog status.
- Quarterly deep audit: after Hermes upgrades or major gateway/Kanban/local-service changes.
- Immediate patch: after a non-trivial workflow succeeds through debugging or the user corrects a recurring approach.
