Per The Agent Report, Hermes added roughly 23K stars in two weeks and its companion hub now lists 90,881 skills across 12 registries, making it 2026's fastest-growing open agent framework. The signal is consolidation. Frameworks are increasingly judged on the depth of their plug-in skill registries, not just the core runtime, the same way npm's catalog mattered more than Node's API surface. The flip side is supply-chain risk: 90K community skills is 90K things you didn't write running in your agent.
