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.
74 skills declared cross-platform (platforms: [linux, macos, windows]):
Creative (16): ascii-art, ascii-video, architecture-diagram, baoyu-comic,
baoyu-infographic, claude-design, creative-ideation, design-md,
excalidraw, humanizer, manim-video, p5js, pixel-art,
popular-web-designs, pretext, sketch, songwriting-and-ai-music,
touchdesigner-mcp
Autonomous agents: claude-code, codex, hermes-agent, opencode
Data/devops: jupyter-live-kernel, kanban-orchestrator, kanban-worker,

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.
Target: every skill's description fits in a one-line gateway menu and
leads with trigger keywords an agent would match on. Drops filler like
'Use this skill to', 'A skill for', 'This skill provides'.
Before: max description length was 791 chars (architecture-diagram),
74 of 81 built-in skills were >60 chars.
After: max 60, mean 54, all 81 built-in skills <=60.
Rewritten with double-quoted YAML scalars to preserve Chinese/arrow
glyphs (baoyu-comic, yuanbao, youtube-content).
* fix(skills/baoyu-comic): require absolute paths for curl -o downloads
When downloading generated images across several batches of image_generate
calls, relying on persistent-shell CWD is unsafe. The terminal tool's shell
can rotate (TERMINAL_LIFETIME_SECONDS expiry, a failed cd that leaves the
shell somewhere else), and 'curl -fsSL <url> -o relative.png' then silently
writes to the wrong directory with no error.
Update the skill's Step 7 Download step to require absolute -o paths (or
workdir= on the terminal tool) and add a matching pitfall entry referencing
the Apr 2026 incident where pages 06-09 of a 10-page comic landed at the
repo root instead of comic/<slug>/. The agent then spent several turns
claiming the files existed where they didn't.
* fix(skills/baoyu-comic): handle clarify timeouts correctly in Step 2
A clarify timeout returning 'Use your best judgement to make the choice
and proceed' is NOT user consent to default the entire Step 2 questionnaire.
It is a per-question default only. Add guidance at both instruction sites
(SKILL.md User Questions section, references/workflow.md Step 2 header)
telling the agent to:
1. Continue asking the remaining questions in the sequence after a
timeout — each question is an independent consent point.
2. Surface every defaulted choice in the next user-visible message
so the user can correct it when they return. An unreported default
is indistinguishable from never having asked.
Reported live Apr 2026: agent asked style question via clarify, got a
timeout response, and silently defaulted style + narrative focus +
audience + review flags in one pass. User only learned style had
defaulted to 'ohmsha' after the comic was fully generated.
Page prompts are written in Step 5 from the text descriptions in
characters/characters.md — the PNG sheet generated in Step 7.1
cannot be used to write them. Reposition the PNG as a human-facing
review artifact (and reference for later regenerations / manual
edits), and drop the confusing "Character sheet | Strategy" tables
since the embedding rule is uniform.
- Remove PDF merge feature and scripts/ directory (no pdf-lib dep)
- Correct image_generate docs: prompt-only, returns URL; add
curl download step after every call
- Downgrade reference images to text-based trait extraction
(style/palette/scene); character sheet is agent-facing reference
- Unify source file naming on source-{slug}.md across SKILL.md
and workflow.md
Port the upstream baoyu-comic skill to Hermes' tool ecosystem, matching
the earlier baoyu-infographic adaptation:
- metadata namespace openclaw -> hermes (+ tags, homepage)
- drop EXTEND.md preferences system (references/config/ removed,
workflow Step 1.1 removed)
- user prompts via clarify (one question at a time) instead of
AskUserQuestion batches
- image generation via image_generate instead of baoyu-imagine, with
aspect-ratio mapping to landscape/portrait/square
- Windows/PowerShell/WSL shell snippets dropped
- file I/O referenced via Hermes write_file/read_file tools
- CLI-style --flags converted to natural-language options and
user-intent cues (skill matching has no slash command trigger)
Add PORT_NOTES.md documenting the adaptations and a sync procedure.
Art-style/tone/layout reference files are preserved verbatim from
upstream v1.56.1.
