Botmaker provides a structured process for building AI agents with custom SOUL profiles. It helps automation builders move from initial drafting to certification, ensuring each bot is properly documented and integrated into a coordinated fleet.
The skill includes mechanisms for managing bot rosters and detecting identity drift, allowing coordinators to maintain consistency across multiple specialist agents.
WHO IT'S FOR
AI agent / automation builders
scaffold specialist Hermes bots with custom SOULs
AI fleet coordinators
manage bot rosters and identity drift
Prompt engineers
draft and refine bot SOUL specifications
Hermes CLI power users
configure profile-specific model providers and skills
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Explicit list of what the bot is not allowed or intended to do
Whether default Hermes needs the same skill
Make sure botmaker is installed in your agent before trying this task.
Use the botmaker skill to interview me for a new specialist Hermes bot. I will provide its proposed one-sentence job, the failure its model must survive, what the bot must not do, and whether default Hermes needs the same skill. Help me sharpen those answers, then draft a one-screen SOUL and stop for my sign-off. Do not scaffold or create the profile yet.
