* feat(gateway): skill-aware slash commands, paginated /commands, Telegram 100-cap
Map active skills to Telegram's slash command menu so users can
discover and invoke skills directly. Three changes:
1. Telegram menu now includes active skill commands alongside built-in
commands, capped at 100 entries (Telegram Bot API limit). Overflow
commands remain callable but hidden from the picker. Logged at
startup when cap is hit.
2. New /commands [page] gateway command for paginated browsing of all
commands + skills. /help now shows first 10 skill commands and
points to /commands for the full list.
3. When a user types a slash command that matches a disabled or
uninstalled skill, they get actionable guidance:
- Disabled: 'Enable it with: hermes skills config'
- Optional (not installed): 'Install with: hermes skills install official/<path>'
Built on ideas from PR #3921 by @kshitijk4poor.
* chore: move 21 niche skills to optional-skills
Move specialized/niche skills from built-in (skills/) to optional
(optional-skills/) to reduce the default skill count. Users can
install them with: hermes skills install official/<category>/<name>
Moved skills (21):
- mlops: accelerate, chroma, faiss, flash-attention,
hermes-atropos-environments, huggingface-tokenizers, instructor,
lambda-labs, llava, nemo-curator, pinecone, pytorch-lightning,
qdrant, saelens, simpo, slime, tensorrt-llm, torchtitan
- research: domain-intel, duckduckgo-search
- devops: inference-sh cli
Built-in skills: 96 → 75
Optional skills: 22 → 43
* fix: only include repo built-in skills in Telegram menu, not user-installed
User-installed skills (from hub or manually added) stay accessible via
/skills and by typing the command directly, but don't get registered
in the Telegram slash command picker. Only skills whose SKILL.md is
under the repo's skills/ directory are included in the menu.
This keeps the Telegram menu focused on the curated built-in set while
user-installed skills remain discoverable through /skills and /commands.
Add inference.sh as a built-in skill that uses the terminal tool to
run infsh CLI commands. No custom tools or tool registration — the
skill teaches the agent how to use the infsh binary via terminal.
Covers 150+ AI apps: image gen (FLUX, Reve, Seedream), video (Veo,
Wan, Seedance), LLMs, search (Tavily, Exa), 3D, avatars, and more.
Includes reference docs for authentication, app discovery, running
apps, and CLI command reference.
Based on PR #1021 by @okaris, reworked as a skill-only integration.

Add inference.sh CLI (infsh) as a tool integration, giving agents
access to 150+ AI apps through a single CLI — image gen (FLUX, Reve,
Seedream), video (Veo, Wan, Seedance), LLMs, search (Tavily, Exa),
3D, avatar/lipsync, and more. One API key manages all services.
Tools:
- infsh: run any infsh CLI command (app list, app run, etc.)
- infsh_install: install the CLI if not present
Registered as an 'inference' toolset (opt-in, not in core tools).
Includes comprehensive skill docs with examples for all app categories.
Changes from original PR:
- NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS (available via --toolsets inference)
- Added 12 tests covering tool registration, command execution,
error handling, timeout, JSON parsing, and install flow
