Hermes Agent skills only shows All? Reload the directory after updating

The Hermes Agent Dashboard skills page only shows All. First, upgrade to v0.15.1, then refresh the skills catalog. This issue isn't because you lost all your local skills, but because the new Dashboard skills page in v0.15.0 has a stale useMemo dependency issue, causing source pills and the left category bar to collapse to All. v0.15.1, released on May 29, 2026, has been fixed.

Don't rush to reinstall skills

Many people see that the skills page is only labeled All, and immediately delete ~/.hermes/skills or reinstall a bunch of skills. This action may not be effective and might even overwrite skills you have already improved. A more reliable way to check is: skills can be called normally in the CLI, but the dashboard classification is abnormal, which is most likely a page status or directory index issue; The CLI couldn't find the skill either, so I continued checking the local directory and installation status.

Recommended processing order

1. Run hermes --version. If you are running v0.15.0, upgrade to v0.15.1 first.
2. Restart the Dashboard or hermes gateway to have the frontend reload the catalog.
3. Open the Skills page to check if the Source Pills and category sidebar have been restored.
4. If it remains empty, check whether the ~/.hermes/skills exists, whether permissions are normal, and whether the sync tool has altered it.

v0.15.1 also fixed the issue where skills.sh catalog only pulled to partial tabs. The official release notes stated that the catalog expanded from 858 entries to 19,932 entries. In other words, after upgrading, what you see isn't "a bunch of useless content," but that the skills selector finally shows the full directory.

When manual cleaning is needed

Only if the skills page is restored and the specific skill remains duplicate, corrupted, or unopenable will manual cleaning of the corresponding directory be considered. Back up your custom skills before cleaning, because Hermes skills are valuable in their reusable workflows and personal experience. Deleting them all is the most crude and regrettable approach.
