Error Message

  1. Worker crashes with: Error: Unknown skill(s): kanban-worker kanban-worker skill should be auto-installed during setup or at minimum during first hermes kanban init. Alternatively, the dispatcher should detect the missing skill and install it automatically, or provide a clear error message pointing to the install command.

Fix Action

Workaround

Manually install: hermes skills install --force https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/refs/heads/main/skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md

RAW_BUFFERClick to expand / collapse

The kanban system references a built-in kanban-worker skill that workers need to function. This skill exists in the source tree at skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md but is not auto-installed during hermes update or fresh installs.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Hermes Agent v0.13.0 (2026.5.7)
  2. Run hermes kanban init
  3. Create a task: hermes kanban create "test" --body "test"
  4. Assign and dispatch: hermes kanban assign <id> default && hermes kanban dispatch
  5. Worker crashes with: Error: Unknown skill(s): kanban-worker

Actual Behavior

Worker exits with code 1, task auto-blocks after 2 failures. hermes kanban log shows successive Unknown skill(s): kanban-worker errors.

Expected Behavior

kanban-worker skill should be auto-installed during setup or at minimum during first hermes kanban init. Alternatively, the dispatcher should detect the missing skill and install it automatically, or provide a clear error message pointing to the install command.

Workaround

Manually install: hermes skills install --force https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/refs/heads/main/skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md

Environment

  • Hermes Agent v0.13.0 (2026.5.7)
