# MDA Compat Demo (Hermes Agent)
This skill exists to verify Hermes Agent SKILL.md compatibility from an MDA-compiled output.
Three things are true if Hermes discovers and loads this skill:
1. The compiled `SKILL.md` parses under Hermes Agent's loader.
2. The frontmatter `name` matches the package directory name (spec §06-2.1).
3. The agentskills.io v1 envelope subset survives the round-trip from `.mda` source to compiled output to Hermes' skill registry; the reserved `metadata.hermes.*` namespace passes through verbatim for Hermes' own consumption.
Source: `compat/hermes/source.mda`. Compile: `mda compile compat/hermes/source.mda --target SKILL.md --out-dir compat/hermes/build --integrity`.
What this does NOT prove:
- That Hermes parses MDA-extended frontmatter under `metadata.mda.*` (we do not require it).
- That signatures or integrity digests are verified at load time (no current runtime does that).
- That MDA v1.0 can author Hermes-specific top-level fields (`version`, `author`) that some existing Hermes skills carry at top level rather than under `metadata.mda.*`. Those are out of MDA v1.0 scope under §06-3.4, symmetric with the Claude Code runtime-fields gap.
