Extends the Windows-gating work to the optional-skills/ tree. Every
SKILL.md that previously omitted the platforms: field now carries an
explicit declaration, which Hermes's loader (agent.skill_utils.
skill_matches_platform) honors to skip-load on incompatible OSes.

5 skills gated from Windows (platforms: [linux, macos]):
mlops/flash-attention - Flash Attention wheels are Linux-first; Windows
install requires building from source with CUDA
mlops/faiss - faiss-gpu has no Windows wheel; gate rather than
leak partial (faiss-cpu) support
mlops/nemo-curator - NVIDIA NeMo ecosystem has no first-class Windows path
mlops/slime - Megatron+SGLang RL stack is Linux-only in practice
mlops/whisper - openai-whisper + ffmpeg setup on Windows is
non-trivial; gate until Windows install stanza lands
Methodology: scanned every SKILL.md for Windows-hostile signals
(apt-get, brew, systemd, osascript, ptrace, X11 binaries, POSIX-only
Python APIs, Docker POSIX $(pwd) bind-mounts, explicit 'linux-only' /
'macos-only' text). 3 skills flagged as having hard signals on review:
docker-management and qdrant only had POSIX $(pwd) docker examples and
the tools themselves (Docker Desktop, Qdrant) run fine on Windows —
declared ALL. whisper had an apt/brew ffmpeg install path and nothing
else but the openai-whisper Windows install story is rough enough to
warrant gating.
Strict-over-lenient policy: when in doubt, gate. Easier to un-gate after
verified Windows support lands than to leak partial support that
manifests as mid-task failures for Windows users.
Previous pass assumed both skills would always be loaded together, so
each description pointed at the other ('use concept-diagrams instead').
That breaks when only one skill is active — the agent reads 'use the
other skill' and there is no other skill.
Now each skill's description and scope section is fully self-contained:
- States what it's best suited for
- Lists subjects where a more specialized skill (if available) would be
a better fit, naming them only as 'consider X if available'
- Explicitly offers itself as a general SVG diagram fallback when no
more specialized skill exists
An agent loading either skill alone gets unambiguous guidance; an
agent with both loaded still gets useful routing via the 'consider X
if available' hints and the related_skills metadata.
Both skills generate SVG system diagrams, but for very different subjects
and aesthetics. The old descriptions didn't make the split clear, so an
agent loading either one couldn't confidently pick.
Changes:
- Rewrote both frontmatter descriptions to state the scope up front plus
an explicit 'for X, use the other skill instead' pointer.
- Added a symmetric 'When to use this skill vs <other>' decision table
to the top of each SKILL.md body, so the guidance is visible whether
the agent is reading frontmatter or full content.
- Added architecture-diagram <-> concept-diagrams to each other's
related_skills metadata.
Rule of thumb baked into both skills:
software/cloud infra -> architecture-diagram
physical / scientific / educational -> concept-diagrams
Salvage of PR #11045 (original by v1k22). Changes on top of the
original commit:
- Rename 'architecture-visualization-svg-diagrams' -> 'concept-diagrams'
to differentiate from the existing architecture-diagram skill.
architecture-diagram stays as the dark-themed Cocoon-style option for
software/infra; concept-diagrams covers physics, chemistry, math,
engineering, physical objects, and educational visuals.
- Trigger description scoped to actual use cases; removed the 'always
use this skill' language and long phrase-capture list to stop
colliding with architecture-diagram, excalidraw, generative-widgets,
manim-video.
- Default output is now a standalone self-contained HTML file (works
offline, no server). The preview server is opt-in and no longer part
of the default workflow.
- When the server IS used: bind to 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 (was a
LAN exposure hazard on shared networks) and let the OS pick a free
ephemeral port instead of hard-coding 22223 (collision prone).
- Shrink SKILL.md from 1540 to 353 lines by extracting reusable
material into linked files:
- templates/template.html (host page with full CSS design system)
- references/physical-shape-cookbook.md
- references/infrastructure-patterns.md
- references/dashboard-patterns.md
All 15 examples kept intact.
- Add dhandhalyabhavik@gmail.com -> v1k22 to AUTHOR_MAP.
Preserves v1k22's authorship on the underlying commit.
