find-nearby and the (new) maps optional skill both used OpenStreetMap's
Overpass + Nominatim to answer the same question — 'what's near this
location?' — so shipping both would be duplicate code for overlapping
capability. Consolidate into one active-by-default skill at
skills/productivity/maps/ that is a strict superset of find-nearby.
Moves + deletions:
- optional-skills/productivity/maps/ → skills/productivity/maps/ (active,
no install step needed)
- skills/leisure/find-nearby/ → DELETED (fully superseded)
Upgrades to maps_client.py so it covers everything find-nearby did:
- Overpass server failover — tries overpass-api.de then
overpass.kumi.systems so a single-mirror outage doesn't break the skill
(new overpass_query helper, used by both nearby and bbox)
- nearby now accepts --near "<address>" as a shortcut that auto-geocodes,
so one command replaces the old 'search → copy coords → nearby' chain
- nearby now accepts --category (repeatable) for multi-type queries in
one call (e.g. --category restaurant --category bar), results merged
and deduped by (osm_type, osm_id), sorted by distance, capped at --limit
- Each nearby result now includes maps_url (clickable Google Maps search
link) and directions_url (Google Maps directions from the search point
— only when a ref point is known)
- Promoted commonly-useful OSM tags to top-level fields on each result:
cuisine, hours (opening_hours), phone, website — instead of forcing
callers to dig into the raw tags dict
SKILL.md:
- Version bumped 1.1.0 → 1.2.0, description rewritten to lead with
capability surface
- New 'Working With Telegram Location Pins' section replacing
find-nearby's equivalent workflow
- metadata.hermes.supersedes: [find-nearby] so tooling can flag any
lingering references to the old skill
External references updated:
- optional-skills/productivity/telephony/SKILL.md — related_skills
find-nearby → maps
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — removed the (now-empty)
'leisure' section, added 'maps' row under productivity
- website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md — find-nearby example
usages swapped to maps
- tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_cron.py,
tests/cron/test_scheduler.py — fixture string values swapped
- cli.py:5290 — /cron help-hint example swapped
Not touched:
- RELEASE_v0.2.0.md — historical record, left intact
E2E-verified live (Nominatim + Overpass, one query each):
- nearby --near "Times Square" --category restaurant --category bar → 3 results,
sorted by distance, all with maps_url, directions_url, cuisine, phone, website
where OSM had the tags
All 111 targeted tests pass across tests/cron/, tests/tools/, tests/hermes_cli/.
* fix: show correct env var name in provider API key error (#9506)
The error message for missing provider API keys dynamically built
the env var name as PROVIDER_API_KEY (e.g. ALIBABA_API_KEY), but
some providers use different names (alibaba uses DASHSCOPE_API_KEY).
Users following the error message set the wrong variable.
Fix: look up the actual env var from PROVIDER_REGISTRY before
building the error. Falls back to the dynamic name if the registry
lookup fails.
Closes#9506
* fix: five HERMES_HOME profile-isolation leaks (#5947)
Bug A: Thread session_title from session_db to memory provider init kwargs
so honcho can derive chat-scoped session keys instead of falling back to
cwd-based naming that merges all gateway users into one session.
Bug B: Replace 14 hardcoded ~/.hermes/skills/ paths across 10 skill files
with HERMES_HOME-aware alternatives (${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes} in
shell, os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) in Python).
Bug C: install.sh now respects HERMES_HOME env var and adds --hermes-home
flag. Previously --dir only set INSTALL_DIR while HERMES_HOME was always
hardcoded to $HOME/.hermes.
Bug D: Remove hardcoded ~/.hermes/honcho.json fallback in resolve_config_path().
Non-default profiles no longer silently inherit the default profile's honcho
config. Falls through to ~/.honcho/config.json (global) instead.
Bug E: Guard _edit_skill, _patch_skill, _delete_skill, _write_file, and
_remove_file against writing to skills found in external_dirs. Skills
outside the local SKILLS_DIR are now read-only from the agent's perspective.
Closes#5947
Adds --from flag to gmail send and gmail reply commands, allowing agents
to customize the From header display name when sharing the same email
account. Usage: --from '"Agent Name" <user@example.com>'
Also syncs repo google_api.py with the deployed standalone implementation
(replaces outdated gws_bridge thin wrapper), adds dedicated docs page
under Features > Skills, and updates sidebar navigation.
Requested by community user @Maxime44.
Migrate the google-workspace skill from custom Python API wrappers
(google-api-python-client) to Google's official Rust CLI gws
(googleworkspace/cli). Add gws_bridge.py for headless-compatible
token refresh. Fix partial OAuth scope handling.

- avoid hard-coded ~/.hermes paths in the setup and API shorthands
- prefer HERMES_HOME with a sane default to /Users/peteradams/.hermes
- keep the examples aligned with profile-aware Hermes installs
- fall back to adding the repo root to sys.path when hermes_constants is not importable
- fixes direct execution of setup.py and google_api.py from the repo checkout
- keeps the upstream PR scoped to the google-workspace compatibility fix
Two related fixes for remote terminal backends (Modal/Docker):
1. NEW: Credential file mounting system
Skills declare required_credential_files in frontmatter. Files are
mounted into Docker (read-only bind mounts) and Modal (mounts at
creation + sync via exec on each command for mid-session changes).
Google Workspace skill updated with the new field.
2. FIX: Docker backend now includes env_passthrough vars
Skills that declare required_environment_variables (e.g. Notion with
NOTION_API_KEY) register vars in the env_passthrough system. The
local backend checked this, but Docker's forward_env was a separate
disconnected list. Now Docker exec merges both sources, so
skill-declared env vars are forwarded into containers automatically.
This fixes the reported issue where NOTION_API_KEY in ~/.hermes/.env
wasn't reaching the Docker container despite being registered via
the Notion skill's prerequisites.
Closes#3665
* fix: respect DashScope v1 runtime mode for alibaba
Remove the hardcoded Alibaba branch from resolve_runtime_provider()
that forced api_mode='anthropic_messages' regardless of the base URL.
Alibaba now goes through the generic API-key provider path, which
auto-detects the protocol from the URL:
- /apps/anthropic → anthropic_messages (via endswith check)
- /v1 → chat_completions (default)
This fixes Alibaba setup with OpenAI-compatible DashScope endpoints
(e.g. coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1) that were broken because
runtime always forced Anthropic mode even when setup saved a /v1 URL.

* docs(skill): add split, merge, search examples to ocr-and-documents skill
Adds pymupdf examples for PDF splitting, merging, and text search
to the existing ocr-and-documents skill. No new dependencies — pymupdf
already covers all three operations natively.

Store the pending OAuth state and code verifier between --auth-url and --auth-code so the manual headless flow can reuse Flow.fetch_token() without disabling PKCE.
Comprehensive Linear GraphQL API skill with API key auth (no OAuth
needed). Includes all common queries (issues, projects, teams, search,
filters) and mutations (create, update, assign, comment, status changes).
Addresses user pain point: Linear MCP server OAuth flow is unreliable
in headless agent sessions. This skill uses personal API keys which
work reliably without browser-based auth flows.
Requires: LINEAR_API_KEY env var (personal API key from Linear settings)
When a skill declares required_environment_variables in its YAML
frontmatter, missing env vars trigger a secure TUI prompt (identical
to the sudo password widget) when the skill is loaded. Secrets flow
directly to ~/.hermes/.env, never entering LLM context.
Key changes:
- New required_environment_variables frontmatter field for skills
- Secure TUI widget (masked input, 120s timeout)
- Gateway safety: messaging platforms show local setup guidance
- Legacy prerequisites.env_vars normalized into new format
- Remote backend handling: conservative setup_needed=True
- Env var name validation, file permissions hardened to 0o600
- Redact patterns extended for secret-related JSON fields
- 12 existing skills updated with prerequisites declarations
- ~48 new tests covering skip, timeout, gateway, remote backends
- Dynamic panel widget sizing (fixes hardcoded width from original PR)

Skills can now declare runtime prerequisites (env vars, CLI binaries) via
YAML frontmatter. Skills with unmet prerequisites are excluded from the
system prompt so the agent never claims capabilities it can't deliver, and
skill_view() warns the agent about what's missing.
Three layers of defense:
- build_skills_system_prompt() filters out unavailable skills
- _find_all_skills() flags unmet prerequisites in metadata
- skill_view() returns prerequisites_warning with actionable details
Tagged 12 bundled skills that have hard runtime dependencies:
gif-search (TENOR_API_KEY), notion (NOTION_API_KEY), himalaya, imessage,
apple-notes, apple-reminders, openhue, duckduckgo-search, codebase-inspection,
blogwatcher, songsee, mcporter.
