Audits and deletes half of an AI agent's skills to remove skill bloat

Original Description

I audited the skills loaded into my Hermes/Alex content agent and found the exact problem most agent setups run into: skill bloat. Alex started with 118 skills. Some were useful, some were old, some were default, and some were simply wrong for this profile. The rule: every skill has to earn its place for the agent it serves. End result: 118 skills → 69 left. #Shorts #AIagents #HermesAgent #AITools #Coding #SoftwareEngineering #AgenticAI
