* feat(skills): add osint-investigation optional skill (closes#355)
Phase-1 public-records OSINT investigation framework adapted from
ShinMegamiBoson/OpenPlanter (MIT). Lives in optional-skills/research/.
Six data-source wiki entries (FEC, SEC EDGAR, USAspending, Senate LD,
OFAC SDN, ICIJ Offshore Leaks), each following the 9-section template:
summary, access, schema, coverage, cross-reference keys, data quality,
acquisition, legal, references.
Six stdlib-only acquisition scripts that emit normalized CSV, plus three
analysis scripts:
- entity_resolution.py — three-tier match (exact / fuzzy / token overlap)
with explicit confidence per row
- timing_analysis.py — permutation test for donation/contract timing
correlation, joins through cross-links
- build_findings.py — assembles structured findings.json with
evidence chains pointing back to source rows
Validation: full pipeline runs end-to-end on synthetic fixtures. Entity
resolution found 24 cross-matches with 0 false positives on a 5-row /
4-row test set. Timing analysis on 5 donations clustered near 3 awards
returned p=0.000, effect size 2.41 SD. Findings JSON correctly tags
HIGH-severity timing pattern. All 9 scripts pass --help and py_compile.
Docs site page auto-generated by website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py;
sidebar + catalog entries updated by the same generator.
* fix(osint-investigation): live API fixes from end-to-end sweep
Live-tested the skill on a real public-citizen query and found three bugs
the synthetic E2E missed. All three are now fixed and re-verified.
1. FEC fetch hung on contributor name searches.
The combination of two_year_transaction_period + sort=date +
contributor_name puts the OpenFEC query plan on a slow path that the
upstream gateway times out (25s+). Switched to min_date/max_date with no
explicit sort. Renamed --candidate to --contributor (the original name
was misleading: FEC searches by donor, not by candidate; --candidate is
kept as a deprecated alias). Added --state filter for narrowing.
2. ICIJ Offshore Leaks reconcile endpoint returns 404.
ICIJ removed the Open Refine reconciliation API. Rewrote
fetch_icij_offshore.py to download the official bulk CSV ZIP (~70 MB,
public, no auth) and search it locally. Cached under
$HERMES_OSINT_CACHE/icij/ (default ~/.cache/hermes-osint/icij/) for
30 days, --force-refresh to refetch. Verified live: 'PUTIN' query
returns 5 Panama Papers officer matches in 0.5s after first download.
3. SEC EDGAR silently returned 0 when the company-name resolver matched
an individual Form 3/4/5 filer (insider trading disclosures).
Now surfaces 'Resolved company X → CIK Y (Z)' on stderr, prints a
filing-type histogram when the type filter wipes results, and
explicitly warns when the matched CIK appears to be an individual
filer rather than a corporate registrant.
Bonus: _http.py was retrying 429 responses with exponential backoff plus
honoring (often-missing) Retry-After headers, which compounded into
multi-second hangs per page when the upstream key was over quota.
Changed to fail-fast on 429 with a clear, actionable error showing the
upstream's quota message. Verified: 0.3s fast-fail vs the previous 60s
hang on DEMO_KEY rate-limit exhaustion.
Updated SKILL.md, fec.md, and icij-offshore.md to match the new CLI
flags and ICIJ bulk-cache flow. Regenerated the docusaurus page via
website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py.
Live sweep results across all 6 sources for 'Dillon Rolnick, New York':
- OFAC SDN: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not sanctioned)
- USAspending: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not a federal contractor)
- Senate LDA: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not a lobbying client)
- SEC EDGAR: warns it resolved to 'Rolnick Michael' (CIK 0001845264)
who is an individual Form 3 filer, not a corporate registrant
- ICIJ: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not in any offshore leak)
- FEC: rate-limited (DEMO_KEY); fails fast with clear quota message
* feat(osint-investigation): expand to 12 sources covering identity, property, courts, archives, news
Phase-2 expansion per Teknium feedback that the original 6-source skill
(federal financial/regulatory only) wasn't a complete OSINT toolkit. Adds
6 more sources covering the major omissions a real investigation would
reach for first.
New sources (6 fetch scripts + 6 wiki entries):
1. NYC ACRIS — Real property records (deeds, mortgages, liens) via the
city's Socrata API. Search by party name or property address. Joins
Parties to Master to populate doc_type, dates, borough, and amount.
Coverage: 5 NYC boroughs, ~70M party records, 1966-present.
2. OpenCorporates — Global corporate registry covering 130+ jurisdictions
(~200M companies). Free API token at
https://opencorporates.com/api_accounts/new raises the rate limit;
HTML fallback works without one (limited fields).
3. CourtListener (Free Law Project) — federal + state court opinions
(~10M back to colonial era) + PACER dockets via RECAP. Anonymous v4
search works; COURTLISTENER_TOKEN raises rate limits.
4. Wayback Machine CDX — historical web captures (~900B+). Used both for
surveillance-of-record (when did this site change?) and as a
content-recovery layer when other sources point to dead URLs.
5. Wikipedia + Wikidata — narrative bio + structured facts. Wikipedia
OpenSearch for article matching, REST summary for extracts, Wikidata
Action API (wbgetentities) for claims. Avoids the SPARQL Query
Service which is aggressively rate-limited.
6. GDELT 2.0 DOC API — global news monitoring in 100+ languages,
~2015-present. Auto-retries with 6s backoff on the standard
1-req-per-5-sec throttle.
Other changes in this commit:
- SEC EDGAR no longer raises SystemExit when the company-name resolver
finds no CIK; writes an empty CSV with header so the rest of a
pipeline can keep moving and the warning is just on stderr.
- _http.py User-Agent updated per Wikimedia policy: includes app name,
version, and a 'set HERMES_OSINT_UA to identify yourself' instruction.
- SKILL.md workflow now groups sources into two clusters (federal
financial vs identity/property/courts/archives/news) with bash
examples for each. 'When to use this skill' lists the broader set of
investigation patterns the expanded sources unlock.
Live sweep results on 'Dillon Rolnick, New York' across all 12 sources:
ofac ✓ 0 (correctly clean)
icij ✓ 0 (correctly not in any leak)
usaspending ✓ 0 (correctly not a federal contractor)
senate_lda ✓ 0 (correctly not a lobbying client)
sec_edgar ✓ 0, warns: resolved to 'Rolnick Michael' (CIK 0001845264),
individual Form 3 filer, NOT a corporate registrant
fec — rate-limited (DEMO_KEY exhausted), fails fast with
clear quota message
nyc_acris ✓ 200 records named Rolnick across NYC; 48 records at
571 Hudson (the property the web identifies as his)
opencorporates ✓ 0 (no API token configured; HTML fallback)
courtlistener ✓ 0 for 'Dillon Rolnick'; 20 for 'Rolnick' generally;
5 for 'Microsoft' sanity check
wayback ✓ 30 captures of nousresearch.com from 2011-present
wikipedia ✓ 0 (correctly not notable enough); Bill Gates sanity
returns full structured facts (occupation, employer,
DOB, place of birth, country)
gdelt ✓ 0 for 'Dillon Rolnick'; 5 for 'Nous Research'
All 17 scripts compile clean and pass --help. Synthetic analysis pipeline
regression still passes (entity_resolution 30 matches, timing p=0.000,
findings 2).
* feat(osint-investigation): remove FEC; DEMO_KEY rate-limits make it unreliable
The FEC fetcher consistently failed the live sweep because the OpenFEC
DEMO_KEY tier (40 calls/hour) exhausts on a single investigation, and
the upstream returns slow-path query plans for unindexed contributor-name
searches that the gateway times out. Without a real API key it's not
usable; with one the user has to sign up at api.data.gov first. That's
too much setup friction for a skill that should work out of the box.
Removed:
- scripts/fetch_fec.py
- references/sources/fec.md
Updated:
- SKILL.md frontmatter description + tags
- 'When NOT to use' now points users at https://www.fec.gov/data/ for
federal donations
- entity_resolution example switched from donor↔contractor to
lobbying-client↔contractor (Senate LDA + USAspending pair)
- timing_analysis example switched to lobbying-filings vs awards
- 8 wiki entries had their 'FEC ↔ ...' cross-reference bullets removed
11 sources remain (5 federal financial + 6 identity/property/courts/
archives/news). All scripts compile, pass --help, and the synthetic
analysis pipeline still passes on the new lobbying-shaped regression
fixture (30 matches, p=0.000 on tight clustering, 2 findings).
Zero-install localhost tunnels over SSH via Pinggy. Covers HTTP/HTTPS,
TCP, TLS, access control (basic auth / bearer / IP whitelist), header
manipulation (CORS, force-HTTPS), web debugger, Pro token mode, and four
composite recipes (webhook receiver, MCP server exposure, local LLM
endpoint share, dev-server quick-share with one-shot password).
Closes#361
Individual skill pages (e.g. /docs/user-guide/skills/bundled/productivity/notion)
had no sidebar rendered — the sidebar config only listed the two catalog index
pages. That was an intentional choice from an earlier 'too many entries would
drown product docs' concern, but the effect is that a user landing on any skill
page (via search, share link, or the catalog table) loses navigation entirely
and can't see related skills.
Wire build_sidebar_items() (which was already computed and discarded) back into
the sidebar. Structure:
Skills
├── Bundled skills catalog (catalog table, was already there)
├── Optional skills catalog (catalog table, was already there)
├── Bundled
│ ├── apple/
│ │ ├── apple-apple-notes
│ │ └── ...
│ └── ... (one collapsed category per skill category)
└── Optional
└── ... (same)
Categories are collapsed by default so the top-level Skills entry doesn't
explode visually. Users browsing one skill see siblings in the same category;
the catalogs remain the at-a-glance entry point.
Also includes drift the regen script naturally produces on top of current main:
- creative-comfyui v5.0.0 → v5.1.0 page (author + new ref file)
- devops-kanban-worker SKILL.md updates
- new pages for optional skills that lacked generated docs:
hyperliquid, finance-stocks, software-development/rest-graphql-debug
- updated optional-skills-catalog row for those
Validation:
- npx docusaurus build (en locale) succeeded — only pre-existing warnings
- inspected built productivity-notion/index.html: sidebar tree present,
sibling productivity skills (airtable, linear, etc.) all linked
* feat(skills/notion): overhaul for Notion Developer Platform (May 2026)
Notion shipped its Developer Platform on May 13, 2026: ntn CLI, Workers,
Markdown API, bidirectional webhooks, agent tools. The existing skill only
covered curl + integration token CRUD, so it didn't surface any of the new
ergonomics — particularly the /markdown endpoints (much easier for agents
to consume) and the ntn CLI for headless API + Workers management.
This rewrite (v1.0.0 -> v2.0.0):
- Splits setup into Path A (HTTP, cross-platform incl. Windows), Path B
(ntn CLI on macOS/Linux, with NOTION_API_TOKEN env var for headless),
and Path C (Windows fallback — HTTP API or WSL2; native ntn is 'coming
soon').
- Keeps the full curl reference (still the only Windows-compatible path).
- Adds /markdown endpoints — GET and PATCH page-as-markdown, plus POST
/v1/pages with a markdown body param. Agent-friendly, no CLI required.
- Adds ntn CLI cheat sheet for raw API shorthand, file uploads, and
workspace flags.
- Adds Notion Workers section: scaffold, tool/webhook capability shapes,
lifecycle commands. Gated on Business/Enterprise plans + macOS/Linux.
- Adds Notion-flavored Markdown reference (callouts, toggles, columns,
mentions, colors) for the /markdown endpoints.
- Adds a 'choose the right path' decision table at the bottom.
- Notes the new efficient Notion MCP server as an optional wiring path.

* docs(skills-catalog): update notion description for v2.0.0
Salvages the closed PR #2010 (Mibayy's EVM multi-chain skill) and folds the
existing optional-skills/blockchain/base/ skill into it, so we ship one
unified EVM skill instead of two overlapping ones.
Pulled in from base/:
- 8 missing Base-specific tokens (AERO, DEGEN, TOSHI, BRETT, WELL,
cbETH, cbBTC, wstETH, rETH) added to KNOWN_TOKENS['base'] —
base/ had 11, evm/ only had 3 (USDC/DAI/WETH).
- L1 data-fee pitfall note for rollups (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync).
- Batch-size chunking in rpc_batch (Base RPC caps batches at 10 calls
per JSON-RPC request; adding more known tokens tripped that limit
and broke 'wallet --chain base' with a 'list index out of range'
error). Ported the chunking pattern from base/_rpc_batch_chunk.
Latent bugs found and fixed while smoke-testing the merge:
- cmd_multichain and cmd_allowance both iterated KNOWN_TOKENS[chain]
with 'for contract, (symbol, _name) in known.items()' — but the dict
shape is {symbol: contract_str}, not {addr: (sym, name)}. This raised
'too many values to unpack (expected 2)' on every non-zero balance.
Now iterates as 'for symbol, contract in known.items()'.
- Input validation: added is_valid_address / is_valid_txhash /
require_address / require_txhash helpers and wired them into
cmd_wallet, cmd_tx, cmd_token, cmd_activity, cmd_allowance,
cmd_decode, cmd_contract, cmd_multichain. Fails fast with exit 2
on malformed input instead of burning an RPC round-trip on garbage.
Documentation:
- SKILL.md now flags that this skill supersedes optional-skills/blockchain/base.
- Pitfalls expanded for ENS (single-endpoint dependency on
ensideas.com), tx decoding (single-endpoint dependency on
4byte.directory), and rollup L1 fees.
- Regenerated website/docs/user-guide/skills/optional/blockchain/
blockchain-evm.md and removed the old blockchain-base.md page;
catalog updated.
Removed:
- optional-skills/blockchain/base/SKILL.md
- optional-skills/blockchain/base/scripts/base_client.py
- website/docs/user-guide/skills/optional/blockchain/blockchain-base.md
Smoke-tested live against Base mainnet: stats, price, token, wallet
(vitalik.eth — 3.12 ETH + 13.88 USDC + 4.23 DAI + 0.06 WETH on Base)
and allowance (ethereum, 7 unlimited approvals to Uniswap/Permit2).

The skill enumerated 8 specialist profile names (researcher, analyst,
writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) as "the standard
roster" and told orchestrators to "assume these exist." Almost no real
Hermes setup matches that fleet — single-profile setups, Docker-worker
setups, and curated-team setups all violate it — so following the skill
literally produced cards assigned to non-existent profiles, which the
dispatcher silently failed to spawn (no autocorrect, no fallback, just
sits in `ready` forever).
Changes:
- Drop the standard-specialist-roster table.
- Add a "Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster" section at
the top with a Step 0 that prescribes `hermes profile list` (or asking
the user) before fanning out. Cache the result in working memory.
- Rewrite the worked task-graph example with placeholder names
(<profile-A>, <profile-B>, <profile-C>) so the structure is still
teachable but doesn't invite copy-paste of role names that may not
exist.
- Reframe the "If no specialist fits" anti-temptation rule: don't
invent profile names; ask the user.
- Add a "Inventing profile names that doesn't exist" entry to Pitfalls.
- Bump skill version 2.0.0 → 3.0.0 (semantic break: previous behavior
promised a roster the skill no longer enumerates).
- Update website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md to drop the
matching "(researcher, writer, analyst, backend-eng, reviewer, ops)"
line and explain the discovery prompt instead.
- Re-run website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh the
auto-generated skill page + catalog.
Closes#21131 in spirit — addresses the same hardcoded-names footgun
@yehuosi flagged, with a different shape than their PR (delete the
roster rather than replace each name with placeholder, since the
roster table was the load-bearing footgun and the worked example is
salvageable with placeholder profile names).

These skills require heavy GPU/CUDA stacks or are niche enough that they shouldn't
be active by default. Moved to optional-skills/ where users opt-in via
`hermes skills install official/...`.
Moved:
- mlops/training/axolotl
- mlops/training/trl-fine-tuning
- mlops/training/unsloth
- mlops/inference/outlines
Counts: 91 -> 87 built-in, 72 -> 76 optional.
Auto-regenerated docs (per-skill pages + catalogs) reflect the move.
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift
Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level
user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries:
hermes_cli/commands.py COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands)
hermes_cli/auth.py PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers)
hermes_cli/config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys)
toolsets.py TOOLSETS (toolsets)
tools/registry.py get_all_tool_names() (tools)
python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args)
reference/
- cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section,
add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand
lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/
list-archived).
- slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries +
correct the cross-platform Notes line.
- tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional
'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated),
add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use
the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix.
- toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser'
row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale
'38 tools' count for hermes-cli.
- profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document
fish completion.
- environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the
one with the correct gmi-serving.com default).
- faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just
via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list.
getting-started/
- installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer
fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback.
- installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls
back to .[termux].
- nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid
'nix flake update --flake' invocation.
- updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist —
point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key
'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup').
user-guide/
- configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer
is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults
enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50).
- configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't
exist — hermes model is interactive only.
- tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values
kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none).
- security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env,
not config.yaml.
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the
OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway.
user-guide/features/
- computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken
./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md.
- fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not
model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal.
- api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env,
not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML.
- web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl
modes are exposed through web_extract.
- kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'.
- plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count.
- honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document
that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho;
reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output.
- memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented.
Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went
from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing).
* docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs
Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch:
Round 2 manual fixes:
- quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY;
voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...'
doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo
dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e
".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it.
- cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as
'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default);
actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty
(default) or pin a cheap model'.
- built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row
that was missing from the table.
Regenerated skill catalogs:
- ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill
pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md,
optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely
missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled),
optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills:
3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model,
merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes,
creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers,
productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search,
apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from
the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed
metadata).
Validation:
- 'npm run build' succeeded.
- Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation
shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern).
No regressions on any en/ page.
* feat(skills/linear): add Documents support + Python helper script
The bundled Linear skill (PR #1230) covered issues, projects, teams, and
workflow states via curl. It had no coverage for Linear's Documents API,
so fetching an RFC/doc from a linear.app URL required hand-writing
GraphQL against an underdocumented schema.
Adds:
- Documents section in SKILL.md explaining slugId extraction from URLs,
the contentState (markdown) vs contentState (ProseMirror) split, and
four canonical curl examples (fetch by slugId, fetch by UUID, list
recent, title-search).
- scripts/linear_api.py — stdlib-only Python CLI wrapping the most
common operations (whoami, list-teams, list/get/search/create/update
issues, add-comment, update-status, list/get/search documents, raw
GraphQL passthrough). Zero deps, reads LINEAR_API_KEY from env.
Auth header quirk (personal key takes bare $LINEAR_API_KEY, no Bearer
prefix) is already documented in the skill.
Found during RFC review: the existing skill's lack of document support
forced falling back to the browser (which hit Linear's login wall).
Also fixes a schema gotcha — the Document field is `contentState`, not
`contentData` (which returns 400).
Tested end-to-end against the production API:
python3 linear_api.py whoami
python3 linear_api.py get-document 38359beef67c
Both return expected payloads.
* fix(skills/linear): point LINEAR_API_KEY setup to the correct page
The org-level Settings > API page (/settings/api) only shows OAuth apps
and workspace-member keys. Personal API keys live under Account,
Security, access (/settings/account/security). Update both the setup
link in config.py (shown during hermes setup) and the setup step in
SKILL.md so users land on the page that can create a personal key.
* docs(sidebar): collapse exploding skills tree to a single Skills node
The Skills sub-tree in the left sidebar expanded to 200+ entries
(22 bundled categories + 15 optional categories, every skill a page).
That's most of the nav on a first visit — docs for the actual product
get drowned in it.
Collapse the sidebar to:
Skills
godmode (hand-written spotlight)
google-workspace (hand-written spotlight)
Bundled catalog (reference/skills-catalog — table of all bundled)
Optional catalog (reference/optional-skills-catalog — table of all optional)
Per-skill pages still generate and are still reachable at their URLs;
they're linked from the two catalog tables and from the Skills overview
page. They just don't appear in the left nav anymore.
sidebars.ts goes from 649 lines to 247. generate-skill-docs.py loses
the bundled/optional sidebar render helpers.
Also picks up incidental generator output drift on current main
(comfyui skill content refresh; 4 new skill pages for
devops-kanban-orchestrator, devops-kanban-worker,
productivity-here-now, productivity-shopify; two catalog refreshes).
These are what the generator produces on main today — keeping them
committed avoids the next docs build showing 'working tree dirty'.
* docs(sidebar): drop godmode and google-workspace spotlight pages
Keep the Skills sidebar node strictly principled: two catalog links,
nothing else. There was no rule for which skills got spotlight pages
and which got auto-generated pages — just that these two happened to
be hand-written first.
Both pages still build and are still reachable at
/docs/user-guide/skills/godmode and
/docs/user-guide/skills/google-workspace. They're linked from the
catalog tables and the Skills overview page.
Sidebar Skills node now:
Skills
├── Bundled catalog
└── Optional catalog
Broad drift audit against origin/main (b52b63396).
Reference pages (most user-visible drift):
- slash-commands: add /busy, /curator, /footer, /indicator, /redraw, /steer
that were missing; drop non-existent /terminal-setup; fix /q footnote
(resolves to /queue, not /quit); extend CLI-only list with all 24
CLI-only commands in the registry
- cli-commands: add dedicated sections for hermes curator / fallback /
hooks (new subcommands not previously documented); remove stale
hermes honcho standalone section (the plugin registers dynamically
via hermes memory); list curator/fallback/hooks in top-level table;
fix completion to include fish
- toolsets-reference: document the real 52-toolset count; split browser
vs browser-cdp; add discord / discord_admin / spotify / yuanbao;
correct hermes-cli tool count from 36 to 38; fix misleading claim
that hermes-homeassistant adds tools (it's identical to hermes-cli)
- tools-reference: bump tool count 55 -> 68; add 7 Spotify, 5 Yuanbao,
2 Discord toolsets; move browser_cdp/browser_dialog to their own
browser-cdp toolset section
- environment-variables: add 40+ user-facing HERMES_* vars that were
undocumented (--yolo, --accept-hooks, --ignore-*, inference model
override, agent/stream/checkpoint timeouts, OAuth trace, per-platform
batch tuning for Telegram/Discord/Matrix/Feishu/WeCom, cron knobs,
gateway restart/connect timeouts); dedupe the Cron Scheduler section;
replace stale QQ_SANDBOX with QQ_PORTAL_HOST
User-guide (top level):
- cli.md: compression preserves last 20 turns, not 4 (protect_last_n: 20)
- configuration.md: display.platforms is the canonical per-platform
override key; tool_progress_overrides is deprecated and auto-migrated
- profiles.md: model.default is the config key, not model.model
- sessions.md: CLI/TUI session IDs use 6-char hex, gateway uses 8
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md: destructive-command list now matches
_DESTRUCTIVE_PATTERNS (adds rmdir, cp, install, dd)
- docker.md: the container runs as non-root hermes (UID 10000) via
gosu; fix install command (uv pip); add missing --insecure on the
dashboard compose example (required for non-loopback bind)
- security.md: systemctl danger pattern also matches 'restart'
- index.md: built-in tool count 47 -> 68
- integrations/index.md: 6 STT providers, 8 memory providers
- integrations/providers.md: drop fictional dashscope/qwen aliases
Features:
- overview.md: 9 image models (not 8), 9 TTS providers (not 5),
8 memory providers (Supermemory was missing)
- tool-gateway.md: 9 image models
- tools.md: extend common-toolsets list with search / messaging /
spotify / discord / debugging / safe
- fallback-providers.md: add 6 real providers from PROVIDER_REGISTRY
(lmstudio, kimi-coding-cn, stepfun, alibaba-coding-plan,
tencent-tokenhub, azure-foundry)
- plugins.md: Available Hooks table now includes on_session_finalize,
on_session_reset, subagent_stop
- built-in-plugins.md: add the 7 bundled plugins the page didn't
mention (spotify, google_meet, three image_gen providers, two
dashboard examples)
- web-dashboard.md: add --insecure and --tui flags
- cron.md: hermes cron create takes positional schedule/prompt, not
flags
Messaging:
- telegram.md: TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET is now REQUIRED when
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL is set (gateway refuses to start without it
per GHSA-3vpc-7q5r-276h). Biggest user-visible drift in the batch.
- discord.md: HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default
is 2.0, not 0.1
- dingtalk.md: document DINGTALK_REQUIRE_MENTION /
FREE_RESPONSE_CHATS / MENTION_PATTERNS / HOME_CHANNEL /
ALLOW_ALL_USERS that the adapter supports
- bluebubbles.md: drop fictional BLUEBUBBLES_SEND_READ_RECEIPTS env
var; the setting lives in platforms.bluebubbles.extra only
- qqbot.md: drop dead QQ_SANDBOX; add real QQ_PORTAL_HOST and
QQ_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
- wecom-callback.md: replace 'hermes gateway start' (service-only)
with 'hermes gateway' for first-time setup
Developer-guide:
- architecture.md: refresh tool/toolset counts (61/52), terminal
backend count (7), line counts for run_agent.py (~13.7k), cli.py
(~11.5k), main.py (~10.4k), setup.py (~3.5k), gateway/run.py
(~12.2k), mcp_tool.py (~3.1k); add yuanbao adapter, bump platform
adapter count 18 -> 20
- agent-loop.md: run_agent.py line count 10.7k -> 13.7k
- tools-runtime.md: add vercel_sandbox backend
- adding-tools.md: remove stale 'Discovery import added to
model_tools.py' checklist item (registry auto-discovery)
- adding-platform-adapters.md: mark send_typing / get_chat_info as
concrete base methods; only connect/disconnect/send are abstract
- acp-internals.md: ACP sessions now persist to SessionDB
(~/.hermes/state.db); acp.run_agent call uses
use_unstable_protocol=True
- cron-internals.md: gateway runs scheduler in a dedicated background
thread via _start_cron_ticker, not on a maintenance cycle; locking
is cross-process via fcntl.flock (Unix) / msvcrt.locking (Windows)
- gateway-internals.md: gateway/run.py ~12k lines
- provider-runtime.md: cron DOES support fallback (run_job reads
fallback_providers from config)
- session-storage.md: SCHEMA_VERSION = 11 (not 9); add migrations
10 and 11 (trigram FTS, inline-mode FTS5 re-index); add
api_call_count column to Sessions DDL; document messages_fts_trigram
and state_meta in the architecture tree
- context-compression-and-caching.md: remove the obsolete 'context
pressure warnings' section (warnings were removed for causing
models to give up early)
- context-engine-plugin.md: compress() signature now includes
focus_topic param
- extending-the-cli.md: _build_tui_layout_children signature now
includes model_picker_widget; add to default layout
Also fixed three pre-existing broken links/anchors the build warned
about (docker.md -> api-server.md, yuanbao.md -> cron-jobs.md and
tips#background-tasks, nix-setup.md -> #container-aware-cli).
Regenerated per-skill pages via website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py
so catalog tables and sidebar are consistent with current SKILL.md
frontmatter.
docusaurus build: clean, no broken links or anchors.
The ephemeral no-tools side-question variant of /btw confused users who
expected 'by-the-way' to mean 'run this off to the side with tools' —
they'd type /btw and get a toolless agent that couldn't do the work.
/bg worked because it was /background with full tools.
Collapse the two: /btw and /bg both alias to /background. One command,
one behavior, no more gotchas about which variant has tools.
Removed:
- _handle_btw_command in cli.py and gateway/run.py
- _run_btw_task + _active_btw_tasks state in gateway/run.py
- prompt.btw JSON-RPC method + btw.complete event in tui_gateway
- BtwStartResponse type + btw.complete case in ui-tui
- Standalone /btw slash tree registration in Discord
- Standalone btw CommandDef in hermes_cli/commands.py
Updated:
- background CommandDef aliases: (bg,) -> (bg, btw)
- TUI session.ts: local btw handler merged into background
- Docs and tips updated to describe /btw as a /background alias
Generates a full dedicated Docusaurus page for every one of the 132 skills
(73 bundled + 59 optional) under website/docs/user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}/<category>/.
Each page carries the skill's description, metadata (version, author, license,
dependencies, platform gating, tags, related skills cross-linked to their own
pages), and the complete SKILL.md body that Hermes loads at runtime.
Previously the two catalog pages just listed skills with a one-line blurb and
no way to see what the skill actually did — users had to go read the source
repo. Now every skill has a browsable, searchable, cross-linked reference in
the docs.
- website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py — generator that reads skills/ and
optional-skills/, writes per-skill pages, regenerates both catalog indexes,
and rewrites the Skills section of sidebars.ts. Handles MDX escaping
(outside fenced code blocks: curly braces, unsafe HTML-ish tags) and
rewrites relative references/*.md links to point at the GitHub source.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — regenerated; each row links to
the new dedicated page.
- website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md — same.
- website/sidebars.ts — Skills section now has Bundled / Optional subtrees
with one nested category per skill folder.
- .github/workflows/{docs-site-checks,deploy-site}.yml — run the generator
before docusaurus build so CI stays in sync with the source SKILL.md files.
Build verified locally with `npx docusaurus build`. Only remaining warnings
are pre-existing broken link/anchor issues in unrelated pages.
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.
Major reorganization of the documentation site for better discoverability
and navigation. 94 pages across 8 top-level sections (was 5).
Structural changes:
- Promote Features from 3-level-deep subcategory to top-level section
with new Overview hub page categorizing all 26 feature pages
- Promote Messaging Platforms from User Guide subcategory to top-level
section, add platform comparison matrix (13 platforms x 7 features)
- Create new Integrations section with hub page, grouping MCP, ACP,
API Server, Honcho, Provider Routing, Fallback Providers
- Extract AI provider content (626 lines) from configuration.md into
dedicated integrations/providers.md — configuration.md drops from
1803 to 1178 lines
- Subcategorize Developer Guide into Architecture, Extending, Internals
- Rename "User Guide" to "Using Hermes" for top-level items
Orphan fixes (7 pages now reachable via sidebar):
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md added to Guides
- sms.md added to Messaging Platforms
- context-references.md added to Features > Core
- plugins.md added to Features > Core
- git-worktrees.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints.md (30-line stub) deleted, superseded by
checkpoints-and-rollback.md (203 lines)
New files:
- integrations/index.md — Integrations hub page
- integrations/providers.md — AI provider setup (extracted)
- user-guide/features/overview.md — Features hub page
Broken link fixes:
- quickstart.md, faq.md: update context-length-detection anchors
- configuration.md: update checkpoints link
- overview.md: fix checkpoint link path
Docusaurus build verified clean (zero broken links/anchors).
