+# Hermes Agent Tool Mapping
+
+Skills speak in actions ("dispatch a subagent", "create a todo", "read a file"). On Hermes Agent these resolve to the tools below.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Action skills request | Hermes tool |
+|---|---|
+| Read a file | `read_file` |
+| Create a new file | `write_file` |
+| Edit a file (targeted patch) | `patch` |
+| Run a shell command | `terminal` |
+| Search file contents | `search_files` |
+| Find files by name | `terminal` with `find` |
+| Fetch a URL / read a webpage | `web_extract(urls=[...])` |
+| Search the web | `web_search(query=...)` |
+| Dispatch a subagent | `delegate_task(goal=..., context=..., toolsets=[...], role="leaf")` |
+| Task tracking | `todo` tool |
+| Invoke a skill | `skill_view("skill-name")` |
+
+## Instructions file
+
+When a skill mentions "your instructions file," on Hermes Agent this is **`AGENTS.md`** in the project directory, or **`SOUL.md`** globally at `~/.hermes/SOUL.md`.
+
+## Invoking a skill
+
+Hermes Agent has a `skills` toolset with `skill_view` and `skills_list` tools.
+To invoke a superpowers skill, use:
+
+```
+skill_view("brainstorming")
+skill_view("test-driven-development")
+```
+
+If `skill_view` cannot find a superpowers skill (it may not appear in the catalog
+until the plugin fully registers it), fall back to reading the SKILL.md directly:
+
+```
+read_file(path="~/.hermes/plugins/superpowers/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md")
+```
+
+This fallback is the same mechanism used by other harnesses without native skill loading.
+
+## Subagent dispatch
+
+Use `delegate_task` to spawn isolated subagents for parallel or sequential workstreams:
+
+```
+delegate_task(goal="...", context="...", toolsets=[...], role="leaf")
+```
+
+If `delegate_task` is unavailable, do the work inline rather than inventing tool calls.
+
+## Task tracking
+
+Use the `todo` tool for task tracking within a session. For multi-agent task boards, use `hermes kanban` CLI if available. Treat older `TodoWrite` references as the task-tracking action.
