OpenShip Skill for Hermes is a skill file that teaches the Hermes AI agent how to operate OpenShip, a self-hostable deployment platform similar in spirit to Vercel. It is not OpenShip itself, but an add-on that gives an AI agent the know-how to manage an OpenShip setup on its own. Once installed, Hermes gains the ability to install and set up OpenShip through its CLI, Docker Compose, desktop app, or on a remote server. It can create and link projects, deploy applications without extra configuration, manage custom domains and automatic SSL certificates through Let's Encrypt, and work with a CDN. It can also handle databases, background workers, backups, and mail, and it can roll back a bad deployment, check on the health of running services, and troubleshoot problems across production, preview, and staging environments. The agent can talk to OpenShip through its command line interface, its REST API, or its MCP interface. The goal is full autonomy: the agent checks the current state of things itself, carries out multi-step tasks, reports back what happened, and only asks a human for help when something outside its reach is needed, such as changing DNS settings at a domain registrar. Installing the skill just means copying a single SKILL.md file into Hermes's skills folder, after which it activates automatically whenever a relevant request comes in, like a deployment or infrastructure question. This project was built by studying the official OpenShip project on GitHub and its documentation, and it is an independent community skill, not an official product of the OpenShip team. OpenShip itself remains under the Apache-2.0 license, and this skill repository carries its own license file.
