## Where Do I Start?
Three steps from zero to productive:
1. **Run Hermes:** [Official docs quickstart](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/) (install, CLI, first chat).
2. **Add skills:** [wondelai/skills](https://github.com/wondelai/skills) (broad library) or [litprog-skill](https://github.com/tlehman/litprog-skill) (literate programming).
3. **Add a surface:** [hermes-workspace](https://github.com/outsourc-e/hermes-workspace) (Hermes GUI) or [mission-control](https://github.com/builderz-labs/mission-control) (fleet / dispatch dashboard).
Then use the full list. Every entry has a maturity tag:

</p>
| Tag | What it means |
|-----|---------------|
| **production** | Stable, documented, actively maintained; safe to build on |
| **beta** | Works but still evolving; expect some rough edges |
| **experimental** | Proof of concept or early-stage; learn before depending on it |
<p align="center">

</p>
Tags are editorial snapshots based on documentation, setup evidence, maintenance, and
adoption signals. Re-check the linked project before depending on it.
## Check the trust boundary
An ecosystem listing is a discovery aid, not a security endorsement. Before enabling a
community skill, plugin, MCP server, or unattended job, verify who can trigger it, which
tools it receives, where commands execute, what credentials it can read, and how you can
stop it. Prefer the smallest toolset and an isolated backend for untrusted work.
<p align="center">
<img src="assets/trust-boundary.jpeg" alt="Hermes capability and permission trust-boundary checklist" width="800">
</p>
Use the official [security guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/security/),
[tools reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/tools/),
and [cron documentation](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron)
for the current controls.
