docs(website): dedicated page per bundled + optional skill (#14929)
Generates a full dedicated Docusaurus page for every one of the 132 skills
(73 bundled + 59 optional) under website/docs/user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}/<category>/.
Each page carries the skill's description, metadata (version, author, license,
dependencies, platform gating, tags, related skills cross-linked to their own
pages), and the complete SKILL.md body that Hermes loads at runtime.
Previously the two catalog pages just listed skills with a one-line blurb and
no way to see what the skill actually did — users had to go read the source
repo. Now every skill has a browsable, searchable, cross-linked reference in
the docs.
- website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py — generator that reads skills/ and
optional-skills/, writes per-skill pages, regenerates both catalog indexes,
and rewrites the Skills section of sidebars.ts. Handles MDX escaping
(outside fenced code blocks: curly braces, unsafe HTML-ish tags) and
rewrites relative references/*.md links to point at the GitHub source.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — regenerated; each row links to
the new dedicated page.
- website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md — same.
- website/sidebars.ts — Skills section now has Bundled / Optional subtrees
with one nested category per skill folder.
- .github/workflows/{docs-site-checks,deploy-site}.yml — run the generator
before docusaurus build so CI stays in sync with the source SKILL.md files.
Build verified locally with `npx docusaurus build`. Only remaining warnings
are pre-existing broken link/anchor issues in unrelated pages.

# Writing Implementation Plans
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Write comprehensive implementation plans assuming the implementer has zero context for the codebase and questionable taste. Document everything they need: which files to touch, complete code, testing commands, docs to check, how to verify. Give them bite-sized tasks. DRY. YAGNI. TDD. Frequent commits.
|
||||
|
||||
Assume the implementer is a skilled developer but knows almost nothing about the toolset or problem domain. Assume they don't know good test design very well.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core principle:** A good plan makes implementation obvious. If someone has to guess, the plan is incomplete.
|
||||
|
||||
## When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
**Always use before:**
|
||||
- Implementing multi-step features
|
||||
- Breaking down complex requirements
|
||||
- Delegating to subagents via subagent-driven-development
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't skip when:**
|
||||
- Feature seems simple (assumptions cause bugs)
|
||||
- You plan to implement it yourself (future you needs guidance)
|
||||
- Working alone (documentation matters)
|
||||
|
||||
## Bite-Sized Task Granularity
|
||||
|
||||
**Each task = 2-5 minutes of focused work.**
|
||||
|
||||
Every step is one action:
|
||||
- "Write the failing test" — step
|
||||
- "Run it to make sure it fails" — step
|
||||
- "Implement the minimal code to make the test pass" — step
|
||||
- "Run the tests and make sure they pass" — step
|
||||
- "Commit" — step
|
||||
|
||||
**Too big:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### Task 1: Build authentication system
|
||||
[50 lines of code across 5 files]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Right size:**
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### Task 1: Create User model with email field
|
||||
[10 lines, 1 file]
|
||||
|
||||
### Task 2: Add password hash field to User
|
||||
[8 lines, 1 file]
|
||||
|
||||
### Task 3: Create password hashing utility
|
||||
[15 lines, 1 file]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Plan Document Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### Header (Required)
|
||||
|
||||
Every plan MUST start with:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# [Feature Name] Implementation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
> **For Hermes:** Use subagent-driven-development skill to implement this plan task-by-task.
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** [One sentence describing what this builds]
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:** [2-3 sentences about approach]
|
||||
|
||||
**Tech Stack:** [Key technologies/libraries]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Task Structure
|
||||
|
||||
Each task follows this format:
|
||||
|
||||
````markdown
|
||||
### Task N: [Descriptive Name]
|
||||
|
||||
**Objective:** What this task accomplishes (one sentence)
|
||||
|
||||
**Files:**
|
||||
- Create: `exact/path/to/new_file.py`
|
||||
- Modify: `exact/path/to/existing.py:45-67` (line numbers if known)
|
||||
- Test: `tests/path/to/test_file.py`
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 1: Write failing test**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def test_specific_behavior():
|
||||
result = function(input)
|
||||
assert result == expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 2: Run test to verify failure**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_specific_behavior -v`
|
||||
Expected: FAIL — "function not defined"
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 3: Write minimal implementation**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def function(input):
|
||||
return expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4: Run test to verify pass**
|
||||
|
||||
Run: `pytest tests/path/test.py::test_specific_behavior -v`
|
||||
Expected: PASS
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 5: Commit**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add tests/path/test.py src/path/file.py
|
||||
git commit -m "feat: add specific feature"
|
||||
```
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
## Writing Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Understand Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Read and understand:
|
||||
- Feature requirements
|
||||
- Design documents or user description
|
||||
- Acceptance criteria
|
||||
- Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Explore the Codebase
|
||||
|
||||
Use Hermes tools to understand the project:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Understand project structure
|
||||
search_files("*.py", target="files", path="src/")
|
||||
|
||||
# Look at similar features
|
||||
search_files("similar_pattern", path="src/", file_glob="*.py")
|
||||
|
||||
# Check existing tests
|
||||
search_files("*.py", target="files", path="tests/")
|
||||
|
||||
# Read key files
|
||||
read_file("src/app.py")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Design Approach
|
||||
|
||||
Decide:
|
||||
- Architecture pattern
|
||||
- File organization
|
||||
- Dependencies needed
|
||||
- Testing strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Write Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
Create tasks in order:
|
||||
1. Setup/infrastructure
|
||||
2. Core functionality (TDD for each)
|
||||
3. Edge cases
|
||||
4. Integration
|
||||
5. Cleanup/documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Add Complete Details
|
||||
|
||||
For each task, include:
|
||||
- **Exact file paths** (not "the config file" but `src/config/settings.py`)
|
||||
- **Complete code examples** (not "add validation" but the actual code)
|
||||
- **Exact commands** with expected output
|
||||
- **Verification steps** that prove the task works
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6: Review the Plan
|
||||
|
||||
Check:
|
||||
- [ ] Tasks are sequential and logical
|
||||
- [ ] Each task is bite-sized (2-5 min)
|
||||
- [ ] File paths are exact
|
||||
- [ ] Code examples are complete (copy-pasteable)
|
||||
- [ ] Commands are exact with expected output
|
||||
- [ ] No missing context
|
||||
- [ ] DRY, YAGNI, TDD principles applied
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7: Save the Plan
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p docs/plans
|
||||
# Save plan to docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name.md
|
||||
git add docs/plans/
|
||||
git commit -m "docs: add implementation plan for [feature]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** Copy-paste validation in 3 places
|
||||
**Good:** Extract validation function, use everywhere
|
||||
|
||||
### YAGNI (You Aren't Gonna Need It)
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** Add "flexibility" for future requirements
|
||||
**Good:** Implement only what's needed now
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Bad — YAGNI violation
|
||||
class User:
|
||||
def __init__(self, name, email):
|
||||
self.name = name
|
||||
self.email = email
|
||||
self.preferences = {} # Not needed yet!
|
||||
self.metadata = {} # Not needed yet!
|
||||
|
||||
# Good — YAGNI
|
||||
class User:
|
||||
def __init__(self, name, email):
|
||||
self.name = name
|
||||
self.email = email
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### TDD (Test-Driven Development)
|
||||
|
||||
Every task that produces code should include the full TDD cycle:
|
||||
1. Write failing test
|
||||
2. Run to verify failure
|
||||
3. Write minimal code
|
||||
4. Run to verify pass
|
||||
|
||||
See `test-driven-development` skill for details.
|
||||
|
||||
### Frequent Commits
|
||||
|
||||
Commit after every task:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add [files]
|
||||
git commit -m "type: description"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
### Vague Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** "Add authentication"
|
||||
**Good:** "Create User model with email and password_hash fields"
|
||||
|
||||
### Incomplete Code
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** "Step 1: Add validation function"
|
||||
**Good:** "Step 1: Add validation function" followed by the complete function code
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing Verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** "Step 3: Test it works"
|
||||
**Good:** "Step 3: Run `pytest tests/test_auth.py -v`, expected: 3 passed"
|
||||
|
||||
### Missing File Paths
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** "Create the model file"
|
||||
**Good:** "Create: `src/models/user.py`"
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Handoff
|
||||
|
||||
After saving the plan, offer the execution approach:
|
||||
|
||||
**"Plan complete and saved. Ready to execute using subagent-driven-development — I'll dispatch a fresh subagent per task with two-stage review (spec compliance then code quality). Shall I proceed?"**
|
||||
|
||||
When executing, use the `subagent-driven-development` skill:
|
||||
- Fresh `delegate_task` per task with full context
|
||||
- Spec compliance review after each task
|
||||
- Code quality review after spec passes
|
||||
- Proceed only when both reviews approve
|
||||
|
||||
## Remember
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Bite-sized tasks (2-5 min each)
|
||||
Exact file paths
|
||||
Complete code (copy-pasteable)
|
||||
Exact commands with expected output
|
||||
Verification steps
|
||||
DRY, YAGNI, TDD
|
||||
Frequent commits
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**A good plan makes implementation obvious.**
