The per-skill sidebar tree from PR #26646 emitted category entries with
only a label. Docusaurus derives translation keys from the label
(sidebar.docs.category.<label>), and categories that exist in both
Bundled and Optional (productivity, mcp, mlops, research, email,
software-development, dogfood) collided on identical keys — failing
i18n extraction and the Deploy Site build. Result: source had the
sidebar fix but no per-skill page rendered with a sidebar in production.
Add a 'key: skills-<source>-<category>' attribute to each generated
category dict so Bundled vs Optional get distinct translation keys.
Regenerated sidebars.ts via the script. Local docusaurus build passes.
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
* 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
Defensive: when the generator encounters a fenced code block containing
Unicode box-drawing characters, wrap it in `<!-- ascii-guard-ignore -->`
markers so the docs-site-checks lint (which scans inside code fences)
can't reject the page for a skill's own diagram.
Plain bash/python code blocks stay uncluttered — only blocks with box
chars get wrapped. Skill authors no longer have to remember to add the
ignore markers in every SKILL.md with ASCII art.
Fixes#15305.
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.
