* feat(skills): add html-artifact skill, fold in sketch + architecture-diagram + concept-diagrams
Adds a unified `html-artifact` creative skill that produces self-contained,
single-file HTML artifacts — concept explainers, implementation plans,
status/incident reports, code-review walkthroughs, technical + educational
SVG diagrams, multi-variant design comparisons, and throwaway editors that
export their state back to the clipboard. Grounded in Anthropic's
html-effectiveness gallery (MIT); the house style (token block, serif/sans/
mono split, hand-rolled diffs, inline-SVG diagrams, graceful degradation) is
distilled from reading all 20 reference files.
Supersedes and removes three overlapping skills, folding their unique value in:
- sketch -> the fidelity dial (throwaway vs presentation) + the
multi-variant comparison layouts + the browser-vision
verify loop (references/fidelity-and-verify.md)
- architecture-diagram-> the dark "infra" token variant + double-rect masking +
semantic component palette (references/dark-tech.md,
templates/diagram.html infra mode)
- concept-diagrams -> the 9-ramp educational color system + the concept
archetype library (references/concept-archetypes.md,
the light design system in templates/diagram.html)
Structure:
- SKILL.md (description exactly 60 chars), 6 references, 3 templates
- templates verified by headless-Chrome render + vision inspection
- editor export logic (file://-safe clipboard, Promise-normalized) verified in node
Cross-references updated in claude-design (new disambiguation table row drawing
the design-taste vs information-artifact boundary), design-md, pretext, spike,
and kanban-video-orchestrator. Website skill docs + catalogs regenerated;
stale EN/zh-Hans per-skill pages pruned and i18n cross-refs fixed.
Not folded (intentionally orthogonal): excalidraw (.excalidraw JSON), p5js
(generative canvas), claude-design / popular-web-designs / design-md (visual
design taste / brand vocab / token spec).
* feat(skills): ship html-effectiveness gallery as fetched reference examples
Add scripts/fetch-examples.sh (idempotent clone/pull of Anthropic's MIT
html-effectiveness gallery) + references/examples.md mapping each of the 20
example files to a mode so the agent reads the right worked example. The clone
lands in references/examples/ and is gitignored (it's a 384KB upstream repo,
not vendored). SKILL.md workflow + reference list now point at it; falls back to
the distilled pattern references when offline.
* feat(skills): make reading a gallery example a required authoring step
Reading the matching html-effectiveness example is now workflow step 2 (was an
optional aside in step 3): fetch the gallery, read_file the file for your mode,
mirror its structure. Models skip optional steps; the examples are the ground
truth, so consulting one is mandatory. Added an 'Example' column to the
mode->build quick-reference table and a 'don't skip the example' pitfall.
Also dogfooded the skill: read 03-code-review-pr.html and 13-flowchart-diagram.html
raw and reconciled the distilled references against source — aligned diff-row tint
opacity to the source's 0.15 (was 0.18) and added the .ctx/.hunk rows in
house-style.md + base.html so they match 03-code-review-pr.html verbatim.
* docs(skills): explain the consolidation + bundled-vs-optional rationale
The supersession note only stated *what* was folded, not *why* the prune is
sound. Expand SKILL.md's intro into a 'Why this skill exists' section: the three
former skills emitted the same artifact and overlapped, so consolidating removes
which-one-do-I-load ambiguity; and the optional->bundled promotion of
concept-diagrams is footprint-safe because this skill has zero deps (only cost is
the 60-char description; everything else is progressive-disclosure). States the
bundling dividing line explicitly: zero install cost + broadly useful gets
bundled, real install cost (hyperframes: Node+FFmpeg+Chromium) stays optional.
Regenerated website per-skill page to match.
* feat(skills): add optional payments skills (Stripe Link, MPP, Projects)
Adds four optional skills under optional-skills/payments/ wrapping the
Stripe Link CLI, the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) clients, and the
Stripe Projects CLI plugin. Plus a router skill (payments) that picks
between them based on user intent.
All four are gated [linux, macos] — Stripe's Link CLI does not yet
support Windows. The other CLIs (mppx, stripe projects) are
cross-platform on paper but the payments cluster moves as a unit until
Link CLI gains Windows support.
Skills:
- stripe-link-cli - one-time virtual cards + Shared Payment Tokens
- mpp-agent - HTTP 402 payments via mppx/Tempo/Privy/AgentCash
- stripe-projects - provision SaaS services + credential sync
- payments - router/index skill for the cluster
Hard invariants encoded in every skill:
- Card PANs/wallet keys never enter agent transcripts, logs, or memory
- Spend approvals are not self-bypassable (Link app / wallet UI / CLI prompt)
- Final totals confirmed with user before any --request-approval call
- Credential output files cleaned up after one-time use
Zero core touches. Skills install via:
hermes skills install official/payments/<skill>
* chore(skills/payments): drop router skill — skills shouldn't depend on other skills
Removed optional-skills/payments/payments/ — the router skill that
existed to hand off between stripe-link-cli, mpp-agent, and
stripe-projects.
Per project convention: skills should be independently loadable; a
router is a footgun because (a) it assumes the loader will follow its
recommendation rather than just loading what the user asked for, and
(b) it duplicates the trigger logic that already lives in each
sub-skill's '## When to Use' section.
The three remaining skills declare their own triggers and routing
hints. The optional-skills catalog still groups them under '## payments',
which is the appropriate place for cluster-level discoverability.
Also drops 'payments' from each remaining skill's 'related_skills' list
and removes the corresponding entries from the docs catalog + sidebars.
* feat(skills/payments): fold in danhill-stripe review feedback
- mpp-agent: add link-cli as a client option (when Link is already set
up, or the 402 challenge advertises method="stripe")
- stripe-link-cli: reframe Link account / payment method / approval app
as first-run setup, not hard preconditions (CLI configures them on
first run)
- regenerate the two affected optional-skills docs pages
