- installation.md: add tip about `hermes postinstall` for upfront dep install
- quickstart.md: show `hermes postinstall` in pip install flow
- updating.md: fix --check description to mention PyPI path for pip installs
Document pip install hermes-agent as a first-class install option.
Clarify that PyPI releases track tagged versions (major/minor),
not every commit on main — git installer is for bleeding-edge.
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift
Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level
user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries:
hermes_cli/commands.py COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands)
hermes_cli/auth.py PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers)
hermes_cli/config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys)
toolsets.py TOOLSETS (toolsets)
tools/registry.py get_all_tool_names() (tools)
python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args)
reference/
- cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section,
add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand
lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/
list-archived).
- slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries +
correct the cross-platform Notes line.
- tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional
'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated),
add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use
the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix.
- toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser'
row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale
'38 tools' count for hermes-cli.
- profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document
fish completion.
- environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the
one with the correct gmi-serving.com default).
- faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just
via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list.
getting-started/
- installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer
fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback.
- installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls
back to .[termux].
- nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid
'nix flake update --flake' invocation.
- updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist —
point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key
'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup').
user-guide/
- configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer
is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults
enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50).
- configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't
exist — hermes model is interactive only.
- tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values
kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none).
- security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env,
not config.yaml.
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the
OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway.
user-guide/features/
- computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken
./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md.
- fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not
model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal.
- api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env,
not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML.
- web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl
modes are exposed through web_extract.
- kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'.
- plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count.
- honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document
that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho;
reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output.
- memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented.
Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went
from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing).
* docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs
Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch:
Round 2 manual fixes:
- quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY;
voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...'
doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo
dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e
".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it.
- cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as
'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default);
actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty
(default) or pin a cheap model'.
- built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row
that was missing from the table.
Regenerated skill catalogs:
- ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill
pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md,
optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely
missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled),
optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills:
3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model,
merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes,
creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers,
productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search,
apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from
the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed
metadata).
Validation:
- 'npm run build' succeeded.
- Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation
shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern).
No regressions on any en/ page.
hermes update no longer dies when the controlling terminal closes
(SSH drop, shell close) during pip install. SIGHUP is set to SIG_IGN
for the duration of the update, and stdout/stderr are wrapped so writes
to a closed pipe are absorbed instead of cascading into process exit.
All update output is mirrored to ~/.hermes/logs/update.log so users can
see what happened after reconnecting.
SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and SIGTERM (systemd) are intentionally still honored —
those are deliberate cancellations, not accidents. In gateway mode the
helper is a no-op since the update is already detached.
POSIX preserves SIG_IGN across exec(), so pip and git subprocesses
inherit hangup protection automatically — no changes to subprocess
spawning needed.
Adds a concise post-update validation checklist (git status, hermes
doctor, version check, gateway status). Adapted from PR #3050 with
corrections — removed inaccurate submodule claim (hermes update
already handles submodules) and tightened the checklist.
Cherry-picked and adapted from PR #3050.
Complete cleanup after dropping the mini-swe-agent submodule (PR #2804):
- Remove MSWEA_SILENT_STARTUP and MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR env var
settings from cli.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/main.py, doctor.py
- Remove mini-swe-agent health check from hermes doctor
- Remove 'minisweagent' from logger suppression lists
- Remove litellm/typer/platformdirs from requirements.txt
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from install.ps1 (Windows)
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from website docs
- Update all stale comments/docstrings referencing mini-swe-agent
in terminal_tool.py, tools/__init__.py, code_execution_tool.py,
environments/README.md, environments/agent_loop.py
- Remove mini_swe_runner from pyproject.toml py-modules
(still exists as standalone script for RL training use)
- Shrink test_minisweagent_path.py to empty stub
The orphaned mini-swe-agent/ directory on disk needs manual removal:
rm -rf mini-swe-agent/
