Found 18 real Hermes-Agent stories from HN, X, and Reddit not yet
captured on the page. All URLs HTTP-verified to return 200 with
matching titles.
Reddit (15): r/hermesagent (Obsidian-as-memory writeup at 794 upvotes,
LLM cheatsheet at 635 upvotes, Kanban game-changer post, OpenRouter #1
ranking, AMA from the Nous team, etc.); r/LocalLLaMA, r/Rag,
r/openclaw, r/SideProject, r/LocalLLM threads where users describe
their actual setups (Qwen3.5-9b on 16gb VRAM, 5060Ti + Telegram, smart
routing tiers).
X (3): @vmiss33's 'what I use Hermes for' guide, @HeyYanvi's
X-to-NotebookLM podcast workflow, @ExileAI_0's spare-laptop Iris
running RenPy + ComfyUI, @brucexu_eth's Hermes Inc. Telegram startup
sim from the hackathon, Hype's deep-dive blog.
HN (1): 'I'm using Hermes — sandbox it like any agent.'
No component changes — all new entries fit the existing schema
(real URL, real author, real date).
The Skills Hub at /skills had cards that, when expanded, showed only the
one-line description, tags, author, version, and an install command. For
the 163 bundled and optional skills shipped with the repo, this was thinner
than the data we already have on disk.
Three changes, all under website/:
1. extract-skills.py now pulls four extra fields per local skill:
- 'overview' — first non-heading body paragraph from SKILL.md (stripped
of admonitions/code fences, capped at ~500 chars at a sentence boundary)
- 'envVars' / 'commands' — from the prerequisites: block in frontmatter
- 'license' — from the top-level frontmatter
- 'docsPath' — slug to the per-skill /docs/user-guide/skills/.../* page,
computed with the same logic as generate-skill-docs.py
162 of 163 local skills get a non-empty overview automatically. The
remaining one (media/heartmula) has only headings/code in its body and
falls through to the description.
2. Skill TS interface + SkillCard expanded-panel render the new fields:
- Overview paragraph at the top of the panel
- Prerequisites box (env vars + required commands) when frontmatter
declares them
- License row alongside author/version
- 'View full documentation →' link to the per-skill docs page
Search now covers the overview text too, so users can find skills by
matching content from inside SKILL.md, not just the one-line description.
3. styles.module.css gains six new classes (overviewBlock, detailLabel,
overviewText, prereqBlock/Row/Kind/List/Item, docsLink) styled to match
the existing dark panel aesthetic.
External / community skills (Anthropic, LobeHub, Claude Marketplace cached
indexes) keep the old behavior — overview is empty, no prereqs, no docsPath.
Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 baseline; all 163 generated docsPath values resolve to existing pages
under website/docs/user-guide/skills/.
Adds a new top-of-sidebar docs page at /docs/user-stories that is a
masonry-style collage of 99 real user stories sourced from X/Twitter,
GitHub issues/PRs, Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube, blogs (Medium, Substack,
dev.to), podcasts, LinkedIn, GitHub Gists, and Product Hunt.
Every tile links to the original post/issue/video/gist where someone
described a specific use case: personal assistants, dev workflows,
trading bots, research briefs, family WhatsApp agents, Kubernetes
deployments, legal-domain self-hosted setups, and more.
- docs/user-stories.mdx: MDX entry mounting the collage component
- src/components/UserStoriesCollage: React component with category +
source filters, CSS-columns masonry layout, per-category accent colors
- src/data/userStories.json: source-of-truth dataset (force-added; the
root .gitignore's unanchored 'data/' rule would otherwise swallow it,
same reason skills.json is explicitly listed in website/.gitignore)
- sidebars.ts: link added at the top of the docs sidebar
Gold #FFD700 has 1.4:1 contrast ratio on white — barely visible.
Replace with dark amber palette (#8B6508 primary, #7A5800 links)
that passes WCAG AA (5.3:1 and 6.5:1 respectively).
Changes:
- :root primary palette → dark amber tones for light mode
- Explicit light mode link colors (#7A5800 / #5A4100 hover)
- Light mode sidebar active state with amber accent
- Light mode table header/border styling
- Footer hover color split by theme (gold for dark, amber for light)
Dark mode is completely unchanged.

Adds a Skills Hub page to the documentation site with browsable/searchable catalog of all skills (built-in, optional, and community from cached hub indexes).
- Python extraction script (website/scripts/extract-skills.py) parses SKILL.md frontmatter and hub index caches into skills.json
- React page (website/src/pages/skills/) with search, category filtering, source filtering, and expandable skill cards
- CI workflow updated to run extraction before Docusaurus build
- Deploy trigger expanded to include skills/ and optional-skills/ changes

Target the exact state that breaks: when .navbar-sidebar--show is active
on the same <nav> element. This preserves the blur on mobile when the
sidebar is closed, and only removes it when the sidebar is open.
backdrop-filter on .navbar creates a new CSS stacking context that
hides .navbar-sidebar menu content on mobile (only the close button
is visible). Scope the blur effect to min-width: 997px so it only
applies on desktop where the sidebar is not rendered inside the navbar.

The sidebar had all categories expanded by default (collapsed: false),
which on mobile created a 60+ item flat list when opening the sidebar.
Reported by danny on Discord.
Changes:
- Set all top-level categories to collapsed: true (tap to expand)
- Enable autoCollapseCategories: true (accordion — opening one section
closes others, prevents the overwhelming flat list)
- Enable hideable sidebar (swipe-to-dismiss on mobile)
- Add mobile CSS: larger touch targets (0.75rem padding), bolder
category headers, visible subcategory indentation with left border,
wider sidebar (85vw / 360px max), darker backdrop overlay
- 25 documentation pages covering Getting Started, User Guide, Developer Guide, and Reference
- Docusaurus with custom amber/gold theme matching the landing page branding
- GitHub Actions workflow to deploy landing page + docs to GitHub Pages
- Landing page at root, docs at /docs/ on hermes-agent.nousresearch.com
- Content extracted and restructured from existing repo docs (README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/)
- Auto-deploy on push to main when website/ or landingpage/ changes
