* feat(setup): Blank Slate setup mode — minimal agent, opt in to everything
Adds a third first-time setup option alongside Quick Setup and Full Setup.
Blank Slate forces ON only what an agent needs to run — provider & model,
the File Operations toolset, and the Terminal toolset — and turns
everything else OFF, then walks the user through opting each capability
back in.
What it does:
- platform_toolsets.cli = [file, terminal] (explicit, authoritative list)
- agent.disabled_toolsets = every other known toolset (web, browser,
code_execution, vision, memory, delegation, cronjob, skills, image_gen,
kanban, …). Applied last in the resolver, so it overrides the
non-configurable platform-toolset recovery that would otherwise re-add
toolsets like kanban — guaranteeing a true blank slate.
- Optional config features off: compression, memory + user-profile capture,
checkpoints, smart model routing, auto session reset.
- Bundled skills default to NONE (reuses the .no-bundled-skills marker);
offers to seed the full catalog.
- Walks through tools / plugins / MCP / messaging, all opt-in.
Proven end-to-end: with the Blank Slate config, model_tools.get_tool_definitions
emits exactly 6 schemas — patch, process, read_file, search_files, terminal,
write_file. Nothing else reaches the model.
Re-enable later via hermes tools / hermes skills opt-in --sync /
hermes setup agent.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_blank_slate.py (8 tests) pin the writers,
the resolver invariant ({file, terminal}), and the 6-schema end-to-end set.
Docs: getting-started/quickstart.md documents all three setup modes.
* feat(setup): Blank Slate fork — finish minimal, or walk through configs
After applying the minimal baseline (provider/model + file + terminal,
everything else off), Blank Slate now presents a choice instead of always
running the full walkthrough:
1. Start with everything disabled — finish now with the minimal agent.
2. Walk through all configurations — opt in to tools, skills, plugins, MCP,
and messaging.
Provider/model and terminal are still configured first either way (the agent
can't run without them). The finish-now path records the bundled-skill opt-out
so future `hermes update` runs don't re-inject skills. The walkthrough body
moved to a separate _blank_slate_walkthrough() helper.
Tests: TestBlankSlateFork covers both branches (finish-now applies baseline +
skill opt-out and skips the walkthrough; walkthrough path invokes it). Docs
updated to describe the fork.

Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
