🧙🏽‍♂️ Appie Kit: Build Your Own AI Employee

The same system that runs a real web design agency, now with 545 production skills extracted from a live 7-agent fleet.

Hermes Agent OpenClaw Skills License: MIT

What Is This?

This is the exact configuration, tools, and skills extracted from running Weblyfe: a web design agency powered by AI employees (Appies) that handle:

  • 📧 Email triage and responses
  • 📅 Calendar management
  • 🎯 Lead capture and CRM automation
  • 📝 Proposal generation and tracking
  • 🌐 Website builds and deployments
  • 📊 Competitor monitoring
  • 🔒 Security scanning
  • 💬 Customer support across Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord

This is not a chatbot. This is a digital team member that works 24/7, learns from mistakes, and gets stronger every day.


What's New in v4.5

Released June 2026.

  • 545 production skills extracted from the live Appie fleet (Mac Mini, GPU/media workers, VPS nodes, and approved client-bot hosts). Up from 156 in v4.4.
  • Hermes Agent compatibility across the board. Skills were originally OpenClaw-only; the fleet now runs primarily on Hermes Agent.
  • MiniMax M2.7 as the default model via OpenRouter: 17x cheaper than Claude at GPT-4 class quality.
  • fal.ai + RunPod media stack for image and video generation (Kling, Nano Banana, ComfyUI workers).
  • UI/UX Pro Max design framework: 67+ UI styles, 161 palettes, 57 font pairings, 99 UX guidelines bundled as a skill.
  • 9-category skill layout: automation, communication, content, integrations, knowledge, meta, ops, personal, and ecc.

Quick Start (5 minutes)

Prerequisites

  • Hermes Agent installed (or OpenClaw)
  • An OpenRouter API key (MiniMax M2.7 recommended, ~$0.01/1M tokens)
  • A Telegram bot token (optional, for messaging interface)

Recommended: MiniMax M2.7 via OpenRouter

The default for v4.4 is MiniMax M2.7 via OpenRouter:

  • Cost: ~$0.01/1M tokens (vs $3.50/1M for Claude Opus)
  • Quality: equivalent to GPT-4 class
  • Setup: get an OpenRouter key at openrouter.ai

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/S3YED/appie-kit.git
cd appie-kit
./install.sh /path/to/your/workspace/

2. Customize your agent files

nano workspace/SOUL.md     # Who your AI is: personality, values, communication style
nano workspace/USER.md     # Who you are: name, timezone, preferences, context
nano workspace/TOOLS.md    # What tools it can access: API references, credentials

3. Set up environment variables

cp .env.example .env.secrets
chmod 600 .env.secrets
nano .env.secrets          # Fill in your API keys

4. Copy skills to your agent

For Hermes Agent:

cp -r skills/content/design ~/.hermes/skills/
cp -r skills/knowledge/exa-plus ~/.hermes/skills/
# or copy entire categories:
cp -r skills/content/* ~/.hermes/skills/

For OpenClaw:

cp -r skills/content/design ~/.openclaw/skills/

5. Start your agent

# Hermes Agent
hermes start

# OpenClaw
openclaw gateway start

That's it. Your AI employee is live.

The Weblyfe Stack

Category Tool Why
AI model MiniMax M2.7 (OpenRouter) 17x cheaper than Claude, GPT-4 class quality
Agent framework Hermes Agent (Nous Research) Open source, persistent memory, multi-platform
Alternative framework OpenClaw macOS-native, good for desktop automation
Messaging Telegram Best bot API, instant delivery, group support
CRM Airtable Flexible, API-first, automatable
Automation n8n Self-hosted, 400+ integrations
Hosting Vercel Zero-config deploys, edge functions
VPS DigitalOcean Simple API, affordable
Networking Tailscale Zero-config VPN for fleet communication
Image gen fal.ai (Nano Banana) Fast, cost-effective, consistent results
Video gen fal.ai (Kling 3.0) Best character consistency, 4K
Search Exa AI-native search API, better than Google for research
Desktop agent Clawd Cursor Screen control, universal app automation

Case Studies

Lead capture automation

Before: manual email checks, copy-paste to spreadsheet, manual follow-ups. After: Form submission triggers Airtable record, Brevo list entry, confirmation email, and timed follow-up sequence. Result: 0 manual steps, under 2 seconds end-to-end, 24/7.

Multi-agent fleet (3 Appies)

Appie-1 (Orchestrator, Mac Mini), Appie-2 (Marketing, VPS), Appie-3 (DevOps, VPS). Cost: ~$148/month for 3 AI employees running continuously. Setup: configs/multi-agent.example.yml

Content pipeline

Input: one brand brief or topic idea. Output: AI video (Kling 3.0) + voiceover + social posts + blog draft. Time: 15 minutes vs 4+ hours manual.

Desktop automation (Clawd Cursor)

Problem: every SaaS tool needs its own API integration, keys, auth flows, rate limits. Solution: Clawd Cursor gives your Appie eyes and hands. It sees your screen and controls your cursor. Result: one skill replaces dozens of API integrations. If you can click it, your agent can too.

Security

This repo contains no secrets. All API keys use placeholder values.

Before going live:

  • Review workspace/SOUL.md for any personal information
  • Verify .env.secrets has no real keys committed
  • Run tools/security-scan.sh after setup
  • Run python3 tools/validate-public-skills.py before publishing changes
  • Set file permissions: chmod 600 .env.secrets
  • Use Tailscale for remote access, never expose SSH publicly
  • Keep filled fleet access files private. Use configs/fleet-access.example.yml only as a placeholder template
