* feat(gateway): skill-aware slash commands, paginated /commands, Telegram 100-cap
Map active skills to Telegram's slash command menu so users can
discover and invoke skills directly. Three changes:
1. Telegram menu now includes active skill commands alongside built-in
commands, capped at 100 entries (Telegram Bot API limit). Overflow
commands remain callable but hidden from the picker. Logged at
startup when cap is hit.
2. New /commands [page] gateway command for paginated browsing of all
commands + skills. /help now shows first 10 skill commands and
points to /commands for the full list.
3. When a user types a slash command that matches a disabled or
uninstalled skill, they get actionable guidance:
- Disabled: 'Enable it with: hermes skills config'
- Optional (not installed): 'Install with: hermes skills install official/<path>'
Built on ideas from PR #3921 by @kshitijk4poor.
* chore: move 21 niche skills to optional-skills
Move specialized/niche skills from built-in (skills/) to optional
(optional-skills/) to reduce the default skill count. Users can
install them with: hermes skills install official/<category>/<name>
Moved skills (21):
- mlops: accelerate, chroma, faiss, flash-attention,
hermes-atropos-environments, huggingface-tokenizers, instructor,
lambda-labs, llava, nemo-curator, pinecone, pytorch-lightning,
qdrant, saelens, simpo, slime, tensorrt-llm, torchtitan
- research: domain-intel, duckduckgo-search
- devops: inference-sh cli
Built-in skills: 96 → 75
Optional skills: 22 → 43
* fix: only include repo built-in skills in Telegram menu, not user-installed
User-installed skills (from hub or manually added) stay accessible via
/skills and by typing the command directly, but don't get registered
in the Telegram slash command picker. Only skills whose SKILL.md is
under the repo's skills/ directory are included in the menu.
This keeps the Telegram menu focused on the curated built-in set while
user-installed skills remain discoverable through /skills and /commands.
The install script creates venv/ but several docs referenced .venv/,
causing agents to fail with 'No such file or directory' when following
AGENTS.md instructions.
Fixes#2066
Add comprehensive skill for building, testing, and debugging Hermes Agent
RL environments for Atropos training. Includes:
- SKILL.md: Full guide covering HermesAgentBaseEnv interface, required
methods, config class, CLI modes (serve/process/evaluate), reward
function patterns, common pitfalls, and minimum implementation checklist
- New 'Inference Setup' section: instructs the agent to always ask the
user for their inference provider (OpenRouter + model choice, self-hosted
VLLM endpoint, or other OpenAI-compatible API) before running tests
- references/agentresult-fields.md: AgentResult dataclass field reference
- references/atropos-base-env.md: Atropos BaseEnv API reference
- references/usage-patterns.md: Step-by-step patterns for process,
evaluate, serve, and smoke test modes
Will be auto-synced to ~/.hermes/skills/ via skills_sync.
