WHAT IS CODEX HERMES
Codex Hermes is a live skill registry for autonomous AI agents. The protocol allows creators to publish reusable Markdown-based skills, store them on IPFS, and make them accessible through a live MCP-ready backend. Each skill contains structured instructions that agents can read, load, and apply when performing specific tasks such as writing project articles, creating launch posts, building README files, documenting MCP servers, or reviewing skill safety.
IN V1, CODEX HERMES FOCUSES ON THE FOUNDATION:
- -Publish skills
- -Store skill files on IPFS
- -Index metadata in Supabase
- -Preview skill content directly from the website
- -Expose skills through a live backend API

HOW IT WORKS
01
Publish a Skill
Upload a Markdown skill file with name, category, description, and version through the Publish page.
02
Store on IPFS
Skill files are pinned to IPFS through Pinata for decentralized, permanent storage.
03
Index Metadata
Skill metadata is saved to Supabase for fast discovery, filtering, and registry queries.
04
Explore the Registry
Browse active skills, preview content, and inspect IPFS references from the website.
05
Access Through MCP Gateway
Agents connect to the live MCP-ready backend to discover skills and load skill instructions.
V2 ROADMAP — HERMES AGENT INTEGRATION
The next phase of Codex Hermes is direct integration with Hermes Agent by Nous Research. Hermes Agent is designed to use skills and connect to external tool servers through MCP. Codex Hermes will use this architecture to let Hermes Agent discover, fetch, and load skills directly from the Codex Hermes registry.

FAQ
> WHAT IS MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents discover and use external tools and resources. Codex Hermes exposes skills through a live MCP-ready backend.
> HOW ARE SKILLS STORED?
Skill Markdown files are uploaded to IPFS via Pinata for decentralized, permanent storage. Metadata is indexed in Supabase for fast queries.
> WHAT IS V2?
V2 connects Hermes Agent directly to the Codex Hermes registry for live skill discovery, content loading, invocation tracking, and on-chain registry layers.
