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.
* fix(docs): unbreak ascii-guard lint on github-pr-review-agent diagram
The intro diagram used 4 side-by-side boxes in one row. ascii-guard can't
parse that layout — it reads the whole thing as one 80-wide outer box and
flags the inner box borders at columns 17/39/60 as 'extra characters after
right border'. Per the ascii-guard-lint-fixing skill, the only fix is to
merge into a single outer box.
Rewritten as one 69-char outer box with four labeled regions separated by
arrows. Same semantic content, lint-clean.
Was blocking docs-site-checks CI as 'action_required' across multiple PRs
(see e.g. run 24661820677).
* fix(docs): backtick-wrap `<1%` to avoid MDX JSX parse error
Docusaurus MDX parses `<1%` as the start of a JSX tag, but `1` isn't a
valid tag-name start so compilation fails with 'Unexpected character `1`
(U+0031) before name'. Wrap in backticks so MDX treats it as literal code
text.
Found by running Build Docusaurus step on the PR that unblocked the
ascii-guard step; full docs tree scanned for other `<digit>` patterns
outside backticks/fences, only this one was unsafe.
- Remove orphan skills/creative/touchdesigner/references/pitfalls.md
left over from the rename commit (git add-then-edit instead of git mv
meant the old file never got deleted).
- Honour $HERMES_HOME in setup.sh and SKILL.md setup invocation so
profile-aware installs work correctly.
- Fix troubleshooting.md config path to use $HERMES_HOME instead of
hardcoding ~/.hermes/.
- Add touchdesigner-mcp entries to skills-catalog.md and
optional-skills-catalog.md for parity with blender-mcp/meme-generation.
Comprehensive audit of every reference/messaging/feature doc page against the
live code registries (PROVIDER_REGISTRY, OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, COMMAND_REGISTRY,
TOOLSETS, tool registry, on-disk skills). Every fix was verified against code
before writing.
### Wrong values fixed (users would paste-and-fail)
- reference/environment-variables.md:
- DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL default was `coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1` \u2192
actual `dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`.
- MINIMAX_BASE_URL and MINIMAX_CN_BASE_URL defaults were `/v1` \u2192 actual
`/anthropic` (Hermes calls MiniMax via its Anthropic Messages endpoint).
- reference/toolsets-reference.md MCP example used the non-existent nested
`mcp: servers:` key \u2192 real key is the flat `mcp_servers:`.
- reference/skills-catalog.md listed ~20 bundled skills that no longer exist
on disk (all moved to `optional-skills/`). Regenerated the whole bundled
section from `skills/**/SKILL.md` \u2014 79 skills, accurate paths and names.
- messaging/slack.md ":::info" callout claimed Slack has no
`free_response_channels` equivalent; both the env var and the yaml key are
in fact read.
- messaging/qqbot.md documented `QQ_MARKDOWN_SUPPORT` as an env var, but the
adapter only reads `extra.markdown_support` from config.yaml. Removed the
env var row and noted config-only nature.
- messaging/qqbot.md `hermes setup gateway` \u2192 `hermes gateway setup`.
### Missing coverage added
- Providers: AWS Bedrock and Qwen Portal (qwen-oauth) \u2014 both in
PROVIDER_REGISTRY but undocumented everywhere. Added sections to
integrations/providers.md, rows to quickstart.md and fallback-providers.md.
- integrations/providers.md "Fallback Model" provider list now includes
gemini, google-gemini-cli, qwen-oauth, xai, nvidia, ollama-cloud, bedrock.
- reference/cli-commands.md `--provider` enum and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
enum in env-vars now include the same set.
- reference/slash-commands.md: added `/agents` (alias `/tasks`) and `/copy`.
Removed duplicate rows for `/snapshot`, `/fast` (\u00d72), `/debug`.
- reference/tools-reference.md: fixed "47 built-in tools" \u2192 52. Added
`feishu_doc` and `feishu_drive` toolset sections.
- reference/toolsets-reference.md: added `feishu_doc` / `feishu_drive` core
rows + all missing `hermes-<platform>` toolsets in the platform table
(bluebubbles, dingtalk, feishu, qqbot, wecom, wecom-callback, weixin,
homeassistant, webhook, gateway). Fixed the `debugging` composite to
describe the actual `includes=[...]` mechanism.
- reference/optional-skills-catalog.md: added `fitness-nutrition`.
- reference/environment-variables.md: added NOUS_BASE_URL,
NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL, NVIDIA_API_KEY/BASE_URL, OLLAMA_API_KEY/BASE_URL,
XAI_API_KEY/BASE_URL, MISTRAL_API_KEY, AWS_REGION/AWS_PROFILE,
BEDROCK_BASE_URL, HERMES_QWEN_BASE_URL, DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS,
DISCORD_PROXY, TELEGRAM_REPLY_TO_MODE, MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, MATRIX_REACTIONS,
QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME, QQ_SANDBOX.
- messaging/discord.md: documented DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS, DISCORD_PROXY,
HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS and HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT
_DELAY_SECONDS (all actively read by the adapter).
- messaging/matrix.md: documented MATRIX_REACTIONS (default true).
- messaging/telegram.md: removed the redundant second Webhook Mode section
that invented a `telegram.webhook_mode: true` yaml key the adapter does
not read.
- user-guide/features/hooks.md: added `on_session_finalize` and
`on_session_reset` (both emitted via invoke_hook but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: documented GET /health/detailed, the
`/api/jobs/*` CRUD surface, POST /v1/runs, and GET /v1/runs/{id}/events
(10 routes that were live but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: added `approval` and
`title_generation` auxiliary-task rows; added gemini, bedrock, qwen-oauth
to the supported-providers table.
- user-guide/features/tts.md: "seven providers" \u2192 "eight" (post-xAI add
oversight in #11942).
- user-guide/configuration.md: TTS provider enum gains `xai` and `gemini`;
yaml example block gains `mistral:`, `gemini:`, `xai:` subsections.
Auxiliary-provider enum now enumerates all real registry entries.
- reference/faq.md: stale AIAgent/config examples bumped from
`nous/hermes-3-llama-3.1-70b` and `claude-sonnet-4.6` to
`claude-opus-4.7`.
### Docs-site integrity
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md referenced two nonexistent hooks
(`pre_api_request`, `post_api_request`). Replaced with the real
`on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset` entries.
- messaging/open-webui.md and features/api-server.md had pre-existing
broken links to `/docs/user-guide/features/profiles` (actual path is
`/docs/user-guide/profiles`). Fixed.
- reference/skills-catalog.md had one `<1%` literal that MDX parsed as a
JSX tag. Escaped to `<1%`.
### False positives filtered out (not changed, verified correct)
- `/set-home` is a registered alias of `/sethome` \u2014 docs were fine.
- `hermes setup gateway` is valid syntax (`hermes setup \<section\>`);
changed in qqbot.md for cross-doc consistency, not as a bug fix.
- Telegram reactions "disabled by default" matches code (default `"false"`).
- Matrix encryption "opt-in" matches code (empty env default \u2192 disabled).
- `pre_api_request` / `post_api_request` hooks do NOT exist in current code;
documented instead the real `on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset`.
- SIGNAL_IGNORE_STORIES is already in env-vars.md (subagent missed it).
Validation:
- `docusaurus build` \u2014 passes (only pre-existing nix-setup anchor warning).
- `ascii-guard lint docs` \u2014 124 files, 0 errors.
- 22 files changed, +317 / \u2212158.
Three tightly-scoped built-in skill consolidations to reduce redundancy in
the available_skills listing injected into every system prompt:
1. gguf-quantization → llama-cpp (merged)
GGUF is llama.cpp's format; two skills covered the same toolchain. The
merged llama-cpp skill keeps the full K-quant table + imatrix workflow
from gguf and the ROCm/benchmarks/supported-models sections from the
original llama-cpp. All 5 reference files preserved.
2. grpo-rl-training → fine-tuning-with-trl (folded in)
GRPO isn't a framework, it's a trainer inside TRL. Moved the 17KB
deep-dive SKILL.md to references/grpo-training.md and the working
template to templates/basic_grpo_training.py. TRL's GRPO workflow
section now points to both. Atropos skill's related_skills updated.
3. guidance → optional-skills/mlops/
Dropped from built-in. Outlines (still built-in) covers the same
structured-generation ground with wider adoption. Listed in the
optional catalog for users who specifically want Guidance.
Net: 3 fewer built-in skill lines in every system prompt, zero content
loss. Contributor authorship preserved via git rename detection.
- 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
