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,
    popular-web-designs, pretext, sketch, songwriting-and-ai-music,

  Autonomous agents: claude-code, codex, hermes-agent, opencode
  Data/devops: jupyter-live-kernel, kanban-orchestrator, kanban-worker,

  GitHub: github-auth, github-code-review, github-issues,

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.

# Obsidian Vault
Use this skill for filesystem-first Obsidian vault work: reading notes, listing notes, searching note files, creating notes, appending content, and adding wikilinks.
## Vault path
Use a known or resolved vault path before calling file tools.
The documented vault-path convention is the `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` environment variable, for example from `~/.hermes/.env`. If it is unset, use `~/Documents/Obsidian Vault`.
File tools do not expand shell variables. Do not pass paths containing `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` to `read_file`, `write_file`, `patch`, or `search_files`; resolve the vault path first and pass a concrete absolute path. Vault paths may contain spaces, which is another reason to prefer file tools over shell commands.
If the vault path is unknown, `terminal` is acceptable for resolving `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` or checking whether the fallback path exists. Once the path is known, switch back to file tools.
## Read a note
Use `read_file` with the resolved absolute path to the note. Prefer this over `cat` because it provides line numbers and pagination.
## List notes
Use `search_files` with `target: "files"` and the resolved vault path. Prefer this over `find` or `ls`.
- To list all markdown notes, use `pattern: "*.md"` under the vault path.
- To list a subfolder, search under that subfolder's absolute path.
## Search
Use `search_files` for both filename and content searches. Prefer this over `grep`, `find`, or `ls`.
- For filenames, use `search_files` with `target: "files"` and a filename `pattern`.
- For note contents, use `search_files` with `target: "content"`, the content regex as `pattern`, and `file_glob: "*.md"` when you want to restrict matches to markdown notes.
## Create a note
Use `write_file` with the resolved absolute path and the full markdown content. Prefer this over shell heredocs or `echo` because it avoids shell quoting issues and returns structured results.
## Append to a note
Prefer a native file-tool workflow when it is not awkward:
- Read the target note with `read_file`.
- Use `patch` for an anchored append when there is stable context, such as adding a section after an existing heading or appending before a known trailing block.
- Use `write_file` when rewriting the whole note is clearer than constructing a fragile patch.
For an anchored append with `patch`, replace the anchor with the anchor plus the new content.
For a simple append with no stable context, `terminal` is acceptable if it is the clearest safe option.
## Targeted edits
Use `patch` for focused note changes when the current content gives you stable context. Prefer this over shell text rewriting.
## Wikilinks
Obsidian links notes with `[[Note Name]]` syntax. When creating notes, use these to link related content.
