The Skills Hub page was stuck on a stale Feb 25 snapshot, showing only Built-in
+ Optional + Anthropic + LobeHub. The unified index already has 2078 skills
from skills.sh / ClawHub / LobeHub / GitHub taps / Claude Marketplace, and
BrowseShSource adds another ~330 — none of it was reaching the page.
Changes:
- website/scripts/extract-skills.py: read website/static/api/skills-index.json
(the unified multi-source catalog, rebuilt twice daily) as the canonical
external source. Keep the legacy skills/index-cache/ fallback for offline
builds. Add friendly per-source labels (skills.sh, ClawHub, browse.sh,
OpenAI, HuggingFace, Anthropic, LobeHub, etc.) and per-entry installCmd.
- website/src/pages/skills/index.tsx: add source pills + ordering for the 11
new sources; render installCmd from the index entry.
- website/scripts/prebuild.mjs: when no local skills-index.json exists, fetch
the live one from hermes-agent.nousresearch.com so local 'npm run build'
matches production without burning GitHub API quota.
- scripts/build_skills_index.py: crawl BrowseShSource so browse.sh entries
land in the unified index. Adjust source_order.
- tools/skills_hub.py: GitHubSource.DEFAULT_TAPS — openai/skills moved its
skills into skills/.curated/ and skills/.system/, so add both as explicit
taps (the listing code skips dotted dirs by design). Drop
VoltAgent/awesome-agent-skills (README-only, no SKILL.md files) and
MiniMax-AI/cli (singular skill, not a tap directory). Net effect: github
source jumps from 83 → 143 skills, with OpenAI properly included.
- .github/workflows/deploy-site.yml: build the unified index BEFORE running
extract-skills.py — previous order meant extract-skills always fell back
to the legacy cache. Drop the 'skip if file exists' guard; the file is
gitignored and must be rebuilt every deploy.
- .github/workflows/skills-index.yml: drop the broken 'deploy-with-index'
job (it cp'd 'landingpage/\*' which no longer exists, failing every cron
run since the landingpage move). Replace it with a workflow_dispatch
trigger of deploy-site.yml so the index refresh still reaches production
on schedule.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md: drop VoltAgent from the
default-taps doc list to match the code.
Before: 695 skills (Built-in 90, Optional 84, Anthropic 16, LobeHub 505).
After: 2168 skills across 9 source pills, including the 1212 skills.sh
entries the user expected to see.
Two machine-readable entry points to the Hermes Agent docs:
/llms.txt curated index of every doc page, one link per page
with short descriptions. ~17 KB, safe to load into
an LLM context window.
/llms-full.txt every page under website/docs/ concatenated as markdown.
~1.8 MB. For one-shot ingestion by coding agents and
RAG pipelines.
Both files are also served from /docs/llms.txt and /docs/llms-full.txt
(Docusaurus serves website/static/ under baseUrl=/docs/). Some agents and
IDE plugins probe the classic site-root path; the deploy workflow now copies
both files to _site root so either URL works.
Conforms to the emerging llmstxt.org spec: H1 project name, blockquote
summary, short install command, GitHub link, then curated sections
mirroring the docs-site navigation (Getting Started, Using Hermes,
Features, Messaging, Integrations, Guides, Developer Guide, Reference).
Generated by website/scripts/generate-llms-txt.py. Wired into prebuild.mjs
so every 'npm run build' and 'npm run start' refreshes the files alongside
the existing skills.json extraction. Both outputs are gitignored (same
precedent as src/data/skills.json).
Descriptions in llms.txt are pulled from each page's frontmatter, so they
stay current automatically. All ~80 section slugs are validated against
the filesystem at generation time; an invalid slug would fail the prebuild.
website/src/pages/skills/index.tsx imports ../../data/skills.json, but
that file is git-ignored and generated at build time by
website/scripts/extract-skills.py. CI workflows (deploy-site.yml,
docs-site-checks.yml) run the script explicitly before 'npm run build',
so production and PR checks always work — but 'npm run build' on a
contributor's machine fails with:
Module not found: Can't resolve '../../data/skills.json'
because the extraction step was never wired into the npm scripts.
Adds a prebuild/prestart hook that runs extract-skills.py automatically.
If python3 or pyyaml aren't installed locally, writes an empty
skills.json instead of hard-failing — the Skills Hub page renders with
an empty state, the rest of the site builds normally, and CI (which
always has the deps) still generates the full catalog for production.
