docs: expand Docusaurus coverage across CLI, tools, skills, and skins (#1232)

Browse source 
- add code-derived reference pages for slash commands, tools, toolsets,
  bundled skills, and official optional skills
- document the skin system and link visual theming separately from
  conversational personality
- refresh quickstart, configuration, environment variable, and messaging
  docs to match current provider, gateway, and browser behavior
- fix stale command, session, and Home Assistant configuration guidance

## Slash Commands (Inside Chat)
Type `/` in the interactive CLI to see an autocomplete dropdown.
### Navigation & Control
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/help` | Show available commands |
| `/quit` | Exit the CLI (aliases: `/exit`, `/q`) |
| `/clear` | Clear screen and reset conversation |
| `/new` | Start a new conversation |
| `/reset` | Reset conversation only (keep screen) |
### Tools & Configuration
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/tools` | List all available tools |
| `/toolsets` | List available toolsets |
| `/model [provider:model]` | Show or change the current model (supports `provider:model` syntax to switch providers) |
| `/provider` | Show available providers with auth status |
| `/config` | Show current configuration |
| `/prompt [text]` | View/set custom system prompt |
| `/personality [name]` | Set a predefined personality |
| `/reasoning [arg]` | Manage reasoning effort and display. Args: effort level (`none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`) or display toggle (`show`, `hide`). No args shows current state. |
### Conversation
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/history` | Show conversation history |
| `/retry` | Retry the last message |
| `/undo` | Remove the last user/assistant exchange |
| `/save` | Save the current conversation |
| `/compress` | Manually compress conversation context |
| `/title [name]` | Set or show the current session's title |
| `/usage` | Show token usage for this session |
| `/insights [--days N]` | Show usage insights and analytics (last 30 days) |
#### /compress
Manually triggers context compression on the current conversation. This summarizes middle turns of the conversation while preserving the first 3 and last 4 turns, significantly reducing token count. Useful when:
- The conversation is getting long and you want to reduce costs
- You're approaching the model's context limit
- You want to continue the conversation without starting fresh
Requirements: at least 4 messages in the conversation. The configured model (or `compression.summary_model` from config) is used to generate the summary. After compression, the session continues seamlessly with the compressed history.
Reports the result as: `Compressed: X → Y messages, ~N → ~M tokens`.
:::tip
Compression also happens automatically when approaching context limits (configurable via `compression.threshold` in `config.yaml`). Use `/compress` when you want to trigger it early.
:::
### Media & Input
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/paste` | Check clipboard for an image and attach it (see [Vision & Image Paste](/docs/user-guide/features/vision)) |
### Skills & Scheduling
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/cron` | Manage scheduled tasks |
| `/skills` | Browse, search, install, inspect, or manage skills |
| `/platforms` | Show gateway/messaging platform status |
| `/verbose` | Cycle tool progress: off → new → all → verbose |
| `/<skill-name>` | Invoke any installed skill |
### Gateway-Only Commands
These work in messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp) but not the interactive CLI:
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `/stop` | Stop the running agent (no follow-up message) |
| `/sethome` | Set this chat as the home channel |
| `/status` | Show session info |
| `/reload-mcp` | Reload MCP servers from config |
| `/rollback` | List filesystem checkpoints for the current directory |
| `/rollback <N>` | Restore files to checkpoint #N |
| `/update` | Update Hermes Agent to the latest version |
---
## Keybindings
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `Enter` | Send message |
| `Alt+Enter` / `Ctrl+J` | New line (multi-line input) |
| `Alt+V` | Paste image from clipboard (see [Vision & Image Paste](/docs/user-guide/features/vision)) |
| `Ctrl+V` | Paste text + auto-check for clipboard image |
| `Ctrl+C` | Clear input/images, interrupt agent, or exit (contextual) |
| `Ctrl+D` | Exit |
| `Tab` | Autocomplete slash commands |
:::tip
Commands are case-insensitive — `/HELP` works the same as `/help`.
:::
:::info Image paste keybindings
`Alt+V` works in most terminals but **not** in VSCode's integrated terminal (VSCode intercepts Alt+key combos). `Ctrl+V` only triggers an image check when the clipboard also contains text (terminals don't send paste events for image-only clipboard). The `/paste` command is the universal fallback. See the [full compatibility table](/docs/user-guide/features/vision#platform-compatibility).

# Slash Commands Reference
Hermes has two slash-command surfaces:
- **Interactive CLI slash commands** — handled by `cli.py` / `hermes_cli/commands.py`
- **Messaging slash commands** — handled by `gateway/run.py`
Installed skills are also exposed as dynamic slash commands on both surfaces.
## Interactive CLI slash commands
Type `/` in the CLI to open the autocomplete menu. Built-in commands are case-insensitive.

# Built-in Tools Reference
This page documents the built-in Hermes tool registry as it exists in code. Availability can still vary by platform, credentials, and enabled toolsets.
## `browser` toolset

|------|-------------|----------------------|
| `browser_back` | Navigate back to the previous page in browser history. Requires browser_navigate to be called first. | — |
| `browser_click` | Click on an element identified by its ref ID from the snapshot (e.g., '@e5'). The ref IDs are shown in square brackets in the snapshot output. Requires browser_navigate and browser_snapshot to be called first. | — |

| `browser_navigate` | Navigate to a URL in the browser. Initializes the session and loads the page. Must be called before other browser tools. For simple information retrieval, prefer web_search or web_extract (faster, cheaper). Use browser tools when you need… | — |
| `browser_press` | Press a keyboard key. Useful for submitting forms (Enter), navigating (Tab), or keyboard shortcuts. Requires browser_navigate to be called first. | — |

| Tool | Description | Requires environment |
|------|-------------|----------------------|

## `file` toolset
| Tool | Description | Requires environment |
|------|-------------|----------------------|
| `patch` | Targeted find-and-replace edits in files. Use this instead of sed/awk in terminal. Uses fuzzy matching (9 strategies) so minor whitespace/indentation differences won't break it. Returns a unified diff. Auto-runs syntax checks after editing… | — |

- Custom toolsets can be created in configuration and resolved at startup.
- Wildcards: `all` and `*` expand to every registered toolset.
