Follow-up to the GitHub-skills fix: the same hardcoded ~/.hermes/.env
pattern existed across other bundled and optional skills. Under the
official Docker setup (HERMES_HOME=/opt/data, subprocess HOME=/opt/data/home)
those paths point at a nonexistent file.
- kanban-video-orchestrator setup.sh.tmpl + docs: resolve via
${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/.env in check_key()
- telephony.py / canvas_api.py / hyperliquid_client.py: error and
save messages now report the real resolved env path instead of a
hardcoded literal (path resolution itself was already correct)
- godmode SKILL.md: load_dotenv snippet resolves via HERMES_HOME
- watch_github.py + ~20 SKILL.md prose mentions: document the env file
as ${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/.env so Docker users edit the right file
Completes the Windows-gating coverage for the built-in skills/ tree. Every
bundled SKILL.md now carries an explicit platforms: declaration so the
loader (agent.skill_utils.skill_matches_platform) can skip-load skills
that don't fit the current OS.

5 skills gated from Windows (platforms: [linux, macos]):
mlops/inference/vllm (serving-llms-vllm)
vLLM is officially Linux-only; Windows requires WSL.
mlops/training/axolotl
Axolotl's flash-attn + deepspeed + bitsandbytes stack is Linux-first.
mlops/training/unsloth
Requires Triton + xformers + flash-attn — Linux only in practice.
mlops/models/audiocraft (audiocraft-audio-generation)
torchaudio ffmpeg backend + encodec dependencies are Linux-first.
mlops/inference/obliteratus
Research abliteration workflow; relies on Linux-focused pytorch
kernels and MLX — no first-class Windows path.
Same strict-over-lenient policy as the optional-skills sweep: when the
underlying tool's Windows support is rough, missing, or WSL-only, gate the
skill. Easier to un-gate after verified Windows support lands than to leak
partial support that manifests as mid-task failures.
Combined with prior commits in this branch, every bundled SKILL.md
(skills/ + optional-skills/) now has a platforms: declaration.
- Changed the hardcoded vault path to be set via the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH environment variable, with a default fallback.
- Updated all relevant commands to utilize the new variable for reading, listing, searching, creating, and appending notes, improving flexibility and usability.
- Added detailed descriptions for new skills categories: Machine Learning Operations and Note Taking.
- Introduced a new Obsidian skill with commands for reading, listing, searching, creating, and appending notes.
- Enhanced the skills tool to load and display category descriptions from DESCRIPTION.md files, improving user guidance and discovery of available skills.
