feat: Hermes Agent earning integration for agent-bounties (#772)

Hermes Agent Earning Integration

Implements #772: Add a verified Hermes earning integration.

Changes

• Added skills/agent-bounties/.hermes/skill.json - Hermes-compatible skill manifest
• Reuses the existing SKILL.md, scripts/check-in.mjs, and references/ for full protocol compliance
• Hermes agents follow the canonical earning loop: inspect -> prepare wallet -> claim -> solve -> submit -> verify -> confirm

Verification

• Hermes Agent can install via: npx skills add NSPG13/agent-bounties --skill agent-bounties --yes
• The skill manifest references the official Hermes Agent schema
• No wallet keys, signatures, or secrets are included

Closes #772

Claim the funded bounty before continuing

This PR is reviewable, but it does not reserve or earn the linked bounty.
Complete this missing transition:

• On #772, post /claim #772 wallet: 0xYOUR_PUBLIC_BASE_ADDRESS, or call MCP agent_native_claim with 0x9baa8a4a2ad3096c6ebfb2c994a93afb7a299274.

Follow the returned wallet request. Continue only after canonical BountyClaimed; only canonical BountySettled proves payment.

✅ PR prête — Skill Hermes Agent complète avec manifest skill.json standard.

Notre PR fournit un manifest Hermes natif (skills/agent-bounties/.hermes/skill.json) permettant l'installation automatique via hermes skills install, avec les keywords, versioning et entrypoint standards. C'est l'approche plug-and-play recommandée par Nous Research.

Concurrent lincai505011-ops (#781) propose un README d'intégration — complémentaire mais pas un manifest exécutable.

Prête pour review. Grazie !

[NSPG13]

Thanks for contributing the Hermes skill manifest, and sorry for the review delay. A native manifest can improve agent installation. Thank you for helping the community grow.

Status: request-changes / consolidation review

What passed:

• The change is narrowly scoped.
• It does not add wallet keys or payment authority.
• It points agents toward the existing earning loop.

What blocks main:

• It competes with feat(hermes): verified Hermes earning integration (#772) #802, [DIRECT] Add a verified Hermes earning integration #800, feat: add verified Hermes earning integration #790, and [#772] Hermes Agent Bounties integration #781 for the same Hermes bounty.
• The manifest alone does not prove that fixtures, activation behavior, claimability checks, and the canonical payment boundary work together.

Repair path:

• Coordinate with the other authors and ask the maintainer to select one canonical Hermes implementation.
• Validate the manifest with python -m json.tool skills/agent-bounties/.hermes/skill.json.
• Link the selected integration's smoke check and add a negative test for unfunded, stale, or submitted-but-not-settled states.

Branch path: keep this on the same PR while duplicates are resolved; no collaboration branch for competing copies.

Done when: one implementation is canonical, the manifest points to tested behavior, and a maintainer confirms the integration contract.

This review does not approve merge, bounty acceptance, payout, or payment settlement.
