Skill bundles are tiny YAML files in ~/.hermes/skill-bundles/ that
group several skills under one slash command. Invoking /<bundle-name>
from any surface (CLI, TUI, dashboard, any gateway platform) loads
every referenced skill into a single combined user message.
Use cases:
- /backend-dev → loads github-code-review + test-driven-development
+ github-pr-workflow as one bundle.
- /research → loads several research skills together.
- Team task profiles shared via dotfiles.
Behavior:
- Bundles take precedence over individual skills when slugs collide.
- Missing skills are skipped with a note, not fatal.
- No system-prompt mutation — bundles generate a fresh user message
at invocation time, the same way /<skill> does. Prompt cache stays
intact.
- Works in CLI dispatch, gateway dispatch, autocomplete (CLI + TUI),
/help display.
Schema (~/.hermes/skill-bundles/<slug>.yaml):
name: backend-dev
description: Backend feature work.
skills:
- github-code-review
- test-driven-development
instruction: |
Optional extra guidance prepended to the loaded skills.
New module: agent/skill_bundles.py — load, scan, resolve, build
invocation message, save, delete. yaml.safe_load only; broken
bundles log a warning and are skipped, never raise.
New CLI subcommand: hermes bundles {list,show,create,delete,reload}.
Implementation in hermes_cli/bundles.py; wired in hermes_cli/main.py.
'bundles' added to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery skips it.
New in-session slash command: /bundles lists installed bundles in
both CLI and gateway. /<bundle-name> dispatch added to CLI (cli.py)
and gateway (gateway/run.py) before the existing /<skill-name> path.
Autocomplete: SlashCommandCompleter gained an optional
skill_bundles_provider parameter that defaults to None — the prompt
shows '▣ <description> (N skills)' for bundles vs '⚡' for skills.
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_skill_bundles.py — 33 tests covering slugify,
scan/cache freshness, resolve (including underscore→hyphen
Telegram alias), build_bundle_invocation_message (loading, missing
skills, user/bundle instruction injection, dedup), save/delete,
reload diff, list sort.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_bundles.py — 8 tests for the CLI
subcommand (create/list/show/delete/reload, --force, missing
bundle errors).
- tests/gateway/test_bundles_command.py — 4 tests for the gateway
handler and bundle resolution priority.
Live E2E: verified subprocess invocations of hermes bundles
{list,create,show,reload,delete} round-trip correctly against an
isolated HERMES_HOME.
Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md — new 'Skill Bundles'
section with quick example, YAML schema, management commands,
behavior notes.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md — 'hermes bundles' added to
the top-level command table and given its own subcommand section.
