4 New Skills for Hermes AI: Email Marketing, DNS Management, YouTube Moderation & SEO Automation

The Hermes AI agent just leveled up. Four fresh open-source skills are now available to automate email campaigns, manage your DNS infrastructure, moderate YouTube comments, and continuously optimize WordPress sites for search engines.

The Problem

Managing multiple platforms drains time and focus. You're juggling SendFox for newsletters, Gandi for domains, YouTube's comment section, and SEO tools scattered across different tabs. Hermes unifies these workflows into conversational, reusable skills.

What's New?

1. SendFox — Email Marketing Automation

Manage your entire email operation through API calls:

add_contact("contact@example.com", "newsletter", tags=["VIP"], first_name="Alice")
campaign_stats = get_campaign_stats(campaign_id)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Create lists, segment contacts, launch campaigns, and track opens/clicks—all without leaving your AI agent.

2. Gandi — Domain & DNS Management

Stop logging into Gandi's dashboard. Ask Hermes instead:

domains = gandi("GET", "domain/domains")
records = gandi("GET", "livedns/domains/example.com/records")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

List domains, check expiration dates, modify DNS records, configure email redirections, and verify your infrastructure—all programmatically.

3. YouTube Comment Management — Moderation & SEO Linking

Stay on top of YouTube comments with:

  • yt_cm_pending.py — Find unanswered comments across your channel
  • yt_cm_act.py — Reply or reject comments in bulk
  • Built-in SEO interlinking to WordPress sites

The skill handles the critical youtube.force-ssl scope requirement so you can actually authenticate and moderate at scale.

4. SEO Optimizer — Continuous Content Improvement

A two-loop system that:

  1. Optimizes existing pages — Fetches your Google Search Console data, identifies high-potential pages, scores them with NeuronWriter, improves content with Claude, and auto-publishes via WordPress.
  2. Creates new articles — Detects genuinely searched topics and generates fresh content on demand. 
Run daily: 3 pages → NeuronWriter analysis → Content improvement → Live
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How to Use with Hermes

Each skill is drop-in ready. Just set your API keys in .env:

SENDFOX_API_KEY=your_key
GANDI_API_TOKEN=your_token
NEURONWRITER_API_KEY=your_key
GSC_TOKEN=path/to/token.json
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then talk to Hermes naturally:

  • "Add alice@example.com to my VIP list in SendFox"
  • "What's the expiration date of my domains?"
  • "Show me unanswered YouTube comments from the last week"
  • "Run my daily SEO optimization cycle"

Hermes handles authentication, pagination, error handling, and rate limits transparently.

Why This Matters

These aren't fancy wrappers—they're battle-tested integrations built to solve real workflow friction. The YouTube skill, for example, documents critical gotchas like scope requirements and token-swapping behavior. The SEO skill integrates four different systems (GSC, NeuronWriter, Claude, WordPress) into a cohesive daily routine.
