Open Forge

zhangqi444/open-forge-hermes-open-forge

Self-host any open-source app on the user's own infrastructure (cloud VM, VPS, Raspberry Pi, localhost, k8s, PaaS). Walks the user through provisioning, DNS, TLS, SMTP, and hardening in phased + resumable workflows. 2216+ verified recipes plus live-derived fallback for the long tail. Agent-mode rules apply (no chat-paste credentials, no group-channel deploys).

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take zhangqi444/open-forge-hermes-open-forge from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference apt. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
