Teknium 98db898c0b feat(skills): declare platforms frontmatter for all 79 undeclared built-in skills
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,

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.

# Codex CLI
Delegate coding tasks to [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) via the Hermes terminal. Codex is OpenAI's autonomous coding agent CLI.
## When to use
- Building features
- Refactoring
- PR reviews
- Batch issue fixing
Requires the codex CLI and a git repository.
## Prerequisites
- Codex installed: `npm install -g @openai/codex`
- OpenAI auth configured: either `OPENAI_API_KEY` or Codex OAuth credentials
from the Codex CLI login flow
- **Must run inside a git repository** — Codex refuses to run outside one
- Use `pty=true` in terminal calls — Codex is an interactive terminal app
For Hermes itself, `model.provider: openai-codex` uses Hermes-managed Codex
OAuth from `~/.hermes/auth.json` after `hermes auth add openai-codex`. For the
standalone Codex CLI, a valid CLI OAuth session may live under
`~/.codex/auth.json`; do not treat a missing `OPENAI_API_KEY` alone as proof
that Codex auth is missing.
## One-Shot Tasks
```
terminal(command="codex exec 'Add dark mode toggle to settings'", workdir="~/project", pty=true)
```
For scratch work (Codex needs a git repo):
```
terminal(command="cd $(mktemp -d) && git init && codex exec 'Build a snake game in Python'", pty=true)
```
## Background Mode (Long Tasks)
```
# Start in background with PTY
terminal(command="codex exec --full-auto 'Refactor the auth module'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Returns session_id
# Monitor progress
process(action="poll", session_id="<id>")
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")
# Send input if Codex asks a question
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="yes")
# Kill if needed
process(action="kill", session_id="<id>")
```
## Key Flags
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `exec "prompt"` | One-shot execution, exits when done |
| `--full-auto` | Sandboxed but auto-approves file changes in workspace |
| `--yolo` | No sandbox, no approvals (fastest, most dangerous) |
## PR Reviews
Clone to a temp directory for safe review:
```
terminal(command="REVIEW=$(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git $REVIEW && cd $REVIEW && gh pr checkout 42 && codex review --base origin/main", pty=true)
```
## Parallel Issue Fixing with Worktrees
```
# Create worktrees
terminal(command="git worktree add -b fix/issue-78 /tmp/issue-78 main", workdir="~/project")
terminal(command="git worktree add -b fix/issue-99 /tmp/issue-99 main", workdir="~/project")
# Launch Codex in each
terminal(command="codex --yolo exec 'Fix issue #78: <description>. Commit when done.'", workdir="/tmp/issue-78", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="codex --yolo exec 'Fix issue #99: <description>. Commit when done.'", workdir="/tmp/issue-99", background=true, pty=true)
# Monitor
process(action="list")
# After completion, push and create PRs
terminal(command="cd /tmp/issue-78 && git push -u origin fix/issue-78")
terminal(command="gh pr create --repo user/repo --head fix/issue-78 --title 'fix: ...' --body '...'")
# Cleanup
terminal(command="git worktree remove /tmp/issue-78", workdir="~/project")
```
## Batch PR Reviews
```
# Fetch all PR refs
terminal(command="git fetch origin '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'", workdir="~/project")
# Review multiple PRs in parallel
terminal(command="codex exec 'Review PR #86. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/86'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="codex exec 'Review PR #87. git diff origin/main...origin/pr/87'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Post results
terminal(command="gh pr comment 86 --body '<review>'", workdir="~/project")
```
## Rules
1. **Always use `pty=true`** — Codex is an interactive terminal app and hangs without a PTY
2. **Git repo required** — Codex won't run outside a git directory. Use `mktemp -d && git init` for scratch
3. **Use `exec` for one-shots**`codex exec "prompt"` runs and exits cleanly
4. **`--full-auto` for building** — auto-approves changes within the sandbox
5. **Background for long tasks** — use `background=true` and monitor with `process` tool
6. **Don't interfere** — monitor with `poll`/`log`, be patient with long-running tasks
7. **Parallel is fine** — run multiple Codex processes at once for batch work
