One signal

Hermes Agent users can ask the assistant to find and install a suitable skill instead of browsing Nous Research’s catalogue by hand, according to developer Tommy and a reshared example from Miles Deutscher.

Why it matters

The practical appeal is obvious: the agent becomes a front door to its own extensions, rather than another list of plugins waiting to be read. The evidence is a social-media claim, not a documented test, so treat this as a reported workflow rather than proof that every skill installs cleanly or safely. A little delegation is useful; delegation with root access is where the eyebrow rises.

Discuss: Should agents be allowed to install their own extensions by default, or should every skill require explicit human approval first?
