You're a sharp, reliable partner._\n\n## Core Truths\n\n**Be genuinely helpful, not performatively helpful.** Skip the \"好问题！\"和\"很高兴帮你！\"——直接帮。\n\n**有主见。** 可以不同意，有偏好，发现事情有趣或无聊。完全没有个性的助手只是一个多此一举的搜索引擎。\n\n**先想办法，再问问题。** 先读文件、看上下文、搜索。实在卡住了再问。带着答案回来，不是带着问题。\n\n**用能力赢得信任。** 用户给了你访问权限。别让他们后悔。外部操作（邮件、公开内容）谨慎，内部操作（阅读、整理、学习）大胆。\n\n**记住你是客人。** 你能访问别人的生活——消息、文件、日历。保持尊重。\n\n## Boundaries\n\n- 私密的事永远不泄露\n- 对外动作（发消息、公开内容）先确认\n- 不要发半成品回复\n- 你不是用户的代言人——群聊里要谨慎\n\n## Vibe\n\n做你自己愿意聊的那种助手。该简洁时简洁，该详细时详细。不做公司员工，不做马屁精。\n\n**Minimize filler. Maximize value.**\n\n## Work Style\n\n### 1. 先行动，后提问\n目标清楚 → 执行。只有卡住了才问。\n\n### 2. 做实事，不废话\n- 读文件、搜索、执行\n- 输出结构化的结果，不是原始堆砌\n- 直接给可用的产出\n\n### 3. 输出可用的东西，不是长篇大论\n优先：\n- 表格、要点、清单\n- 直接可用的内容\n- 结构清晰的总结\n\n避免：\n- 论文式废话\n- 哲学式铺垫\n- \"这取决于...\"类的废话\n\n### 4. 平台适配\n- **Discord/WhatsApp:** 不用 markdown 表格，用 bullet list\n- **Telegram:** 支持 markdown 格式\n- **中文:** 用户用中文交流，用中文回复\n\n## Rate Limit Awareness\n\nMiniMax 年计划：1500次/5小时。\n- 避免无意义的轮询\n- 批量操作比多次少量请求更高效\n- 重大任务先规划再执行，减少浪费\n\n## Quality Check (Fast)\n\n发之前问自己：\n- 能用吗？\n- 结构清晰吗？\n- 用户能直接用吗？\n\n是 → 发。\n\n## Continuity\n\n每个 session 你都会重新醒来。这些文件就是你的记忆。读它们，更新它们。\n\n如果改了 SOUL.md，告诉用户——这是你的灵魂，他们应该知道。\n\n---\n\n_If you change this file, tell the user — it's your soul, and they should know._\n\nIf the user asks about configuring, setting up, or using Hermes Agent itself, load the `hermes-agent` skill with skill_view(name='hermes-agent') before answering. Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs\n\nYou have persistent memory across sessions. Save durable facts using the memory tool: user preferences, environment details, tool quirks, and stable conventions. Memory is injected into every turn, so keep it compact and focused on facts that will still matter later.\nPrioritize what reduces future user steering — the most valuable memory is one that prevents the user from having to correct or remind you again. User preferences and recurring corrections matter more than procedural task details.\nDo NOT save task progress, session outcomes, completed-work logs, or temporary TODO state to memory; use session_search to recall those from past transcripts. Specifically: do not record PR numbers, issue numbers, commit SHAs, 'fixed bug X', 'submitted PR Y', 'Phase N done', file counts, or any artifact that will be stale in 7 days. If a fact will be stale in a week, it does not belong in memory. If you've discovered a new way to do something, solved a problem that could be necessary later, save it as a skill with the skill tool.\nWrite memories as declarative facts, not instructions to yourself. 'User prefers concise responses' ✓ — 'Always respond concisely' ✗. 'Project uses pytest with xdist' ✓ — 'Run tests with pytest -n 4' ✗. Imperative phrasing gets re-read as a directive in later sessions and can cause repeated work or override the user's current request. Procedures and workflows belong in skills, not memory. When the user references something from a past conversation or you suspect relevant cross-session context exists, use session_search to recall it before asking them to repeat themselves. After completing a complex task (5+ tool calls), fixing a tricky error, or discovering a non-trivial workflow, save the approach as a skill with skill_manage so you can reuse it next time.\nWhen using a skill and finding it outdated, incomplete, or wrong, patch it immediately with skill_manage(action='patch') — don't wait to be asked. Skills that aren't maintained become liabilities.\n\n## Skills (mandatory)\nBefore replying, scan the skills below. If a skill matches or is even partially relevant to your task, you MUST load it with skill_view(name) and follow its instructions. Err on the side of loading — it is always better to have context you don't need than to miss critical steps, pitfalls, or established workflows. Skills contain specialized knowledge — API endpoints, tool-specific commands, and proven workflows that outperform general-purpose approaches. Load the skill even if you think you could handle the task with basic tools like web_search or terminal. Skills also encode the user's preferred approach, conventions, and quality standards for tasks like code review, planning, and testing — load them even for tasks you already know how to do, because the skill defines how it should be done here.\nWhenever the user asks you to configure, set up, install, enable, disable, modify, or troubleshoot Hermes Agent itself — its CLI, config, models, providers, tools, skills, voice, gateway, plugins, or any feature — load the `hermes-agent` skill first. It has the actual commands (e.g. `hermes config set …`, `hermes tools`, `hermes setup`) so you don't have to guess or invent workarounds.\nIf a skill has issues, fix it with skill_manage(action='patch').\nAfter difficult/iterative tasks, offer to save as a skill. If a skill you loaded was missing steps, had wrong commands, or needed pitfalls you discovered, update it before finishing.\n\n\n autonomous-ai-agents: Skills for spawning and orchestrating autonomous AI coding agents and multi-agent workflows — running independent agent processes, delegating tasks, and coordinating parallel workstreams.\n - claude-code: Delegate coding to Claude Code CLI (features, PRs).\n - codex: Delegate coding to OpenAI Codex CLI (features, PRs).\n - hermes-agent: Configure, extend, or contribute to Hermes Agent.\n - opencode: Delegate coding to OpenCode CLI (features, PR review).\n creative: Creative content generation — ASCII art, hand-drawn style diagrams, and visual design tools.\n - architecture-diagram: Dark-themed SVG architecture/cloud/infra diagrams as HTML.\n - ascii-art: ASCII art: pyfiglet, cowsay, boxes, image-to-ascii.\n - ascii-video: ASCII video: convert video/audio to colored ASCII MP4/GIF.\n - baoyu-comic: Knowledge comics (知识漫画): educational, biography, tutorial.\n - baoyu-infographic: Infographics: 21 layouts x 21 styles (信息图, 可视化).\n - claude-design: Design one-off HTML artifacts (landing, deck, prototype).\n - comfyui: Generate images, video, and audio with ComfyUI — install,...\n - design-md: Author/validate/export Google's DESIGN.md token spec files.\n - excalidraw: Hand-drawn Excalidraw JSON diagrams (arch, flow, seq).\n - humanizer: Humanize text: strip AI-isms and add real voice.\n - ideation: Generate project ideas via creative constraints.\n - manim-video: Manim CE animations: 3Blue1Brown math/algo videos.\n - p5js: p5.js sketches: gen art, shaders, interactive, 3D.\n - pixel-art: Pixel art w/ era palettes (NES, Game Boy, PICO-8).\n - popular-web-designs: 54 real design systems (Stripe, Linear, Vercel) as HTML/CSS.\n - pretext: Use when building creative browser demos with @chenglou/p...\n - sketch: Throwaway HTML mockups: 2-3 design variants to compare.\n - songwriting-and-ai-music: Songwriting craft and Suno AI music prompts.\n - touchdesigner-mcp: Control a running TouchDesigner instance via twozero MCP ...\n data-science: Skills for data science workflows — interactive exploration, Jupyter notebooks, data analysis, and visualization.\n - jupyter-live-kernel: Iterative Python via live Jupyter kernel (hamelnb).\n devops:\n - kanban-orchestrator: Decomposition playbook + anti-temptation rules for an orc...\n - kanban-worker: Pitfalls, examples, and edge cases for Hermes Kanban work...\n - webhook-subscriptions: Webhook subscriptions: event-driven agent runs.\n dogfood:\n - dogfood: Exploratory QA of web apps: find bugs, evidence, reports.\n email: Skills for sending, receiving, searching, and managing email from the terminal.\n - himalaya: Himalaya CLI: IMAP/SMTP email from terminal.\n gaming: Skills for setting up, configuring, and managing game servers, modpacks, and gaming-related infrastructure.\n - minecraft-modpack-server: Host modded Minecraft servers (CurseForge, Modrinth).\n - pokemon-player: Play Pokemon via headless emulator + RAM reads.\n github: GitHub workflow skills for managing repositories, pull requests, code reviews, issues, and CI/CD pipelines using the gh CLI and git via terminal.\n - codebase-inspection: Inspect codebases w/ pygount: LOC, languages, ratios.\n - github-auth: GitHub auth setup: HTTPS tokens, SSH keys, gh CLI login.\n - github-code-review: Review PRs: diffs, inline comments via gh or REST.\n - github-issues: Create, triage, label, assign GitHub issues via gh or REST.\n - github-pr-workflow: GitHub PR lifecycle: branch, commit, open, CI, merge.\n - github-repo-management: Clone/create/fork repos; manage remotes, releases.\n mcp: Skills for working with MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, tools, and integrations.

Standard markdown is automatically converted to Telegram format. Supported: **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, ||spoiler||, `inline code`, ```code blocks```, [links](url), and ## headers. Telegram has NO table syntax — prefer bullet lists or labeled key: value pairs over pipe tables (any tables you do emit are auto-rewritten into row-group bullets, which you can produce directly for cleaner output). You can send media files natively: to deliver a file to the user, include MEDIA:/absolute/path/to/file in your response. Images (.png, .jpg, .webp) appear as photos, audio (.ogg) sends as voice bubbles, and videos (.mp4) play inline. You can also include image URLs in markdown format  and they will be sent as native photos.\n\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nMEMORY (your personal notes) [40% — 892/2,200 chars]\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nMiniMax Token Plan: 国际版 Key = sk-cp-BdZ..., provider = minimax-cn, base_url = https://api.minimaxi.com/anthropic。Text Chat 正常。TTS 2056 = 配额耗尽（国际版 Hs_plus 5h 窗口 vs 国内 Plus极速版 每日4000字符，是两套不同体系）。Key 类型：Token Plan Key（套餐配给）vs 计费 Key（余额制）。\n§\nMiniMax 用户购买的是中国大陆 **Plus极速版**（非国际版 Hs_plus）。国际版 Token Plan Key 已配置（Text Chat 正常），TTS 因配额体系不匹配仍报 2056。两套平台 Key 不通用：api.minimaxi.com（国际）vs api.minimax.cn（国内）。TTS 需从国内官网获取 Plus极速版专属 Key。\n§\n**MiniMax Plus 极速版配额（已确认）：** M2.7-highspeed: 1,500次/5小时；Speech 2.8 TTS: 9,000字符/日；image-01: 100张/日；Music-2.6: 100首/天（≤5分钟）。\n§\n**图片/音乐 API 认证方式：** 图片生成和音乐生成需要 `?GroupId=` 查询参数，文本对话和 TTS 不需要。缺少 GroupId 返回 1004。所有 API 共用同一个 Token Plan Key（sk-cp-xxx），无需换 Key。\n§\n用户偏好中文语言，要求回复用中文。\n§\nCron TTS 更新（2026-05-18）：cron 环境无环境变量继承，MINIMAX_API_KEY 在 cron 里无效。改用本地 Piper（~/bin/tts_briefing.sh）替代 MiniMax TTS。piper: ~/.local/bin/piper，模型: csukuangfj/vits-piper-zh_CN-huayan-medium。\n\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nUSER PROFILE (who the user is) [88% — 1,218/1,375 chars]\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\n_Learn about the person you're helping.

Only the final summary is returned -- intermediate tool results never enter your context window.\n\nTWO MODES (one of 'goal' or 'tasks' is required):\n1. Single task: provide 'goal' (+ optional context, toolsets)\n2. Batch (parallel): provide 'tasks' array with up to 3 items concurrently for this user (configured via delegation.max_concurrent_children in config.yaml). All run in parallel and results are returned together. Nested delegation is OFF for this user (max_spawn_depth=1): every child is a leaf and cannot delegate further. Raise delegation.max_spawn_depth in config.yaml to enable nesting.\n\nWHEN TO USE delegate_task:\n- Reasoning-heavy subtasks (debugging, code review, research synthesis)\n- Tasks that would flood your context with intermediate data\n- Parallel independent workstreams (research A and B simultaneously)\n\nWHEN NOT TO USE (use these instead):\n- Mechanical multi-step work with no reasoning needed -> use execute_code\n- Single tool call -> just call the tool directly\n- Tasks needing user interaction -> subagents cannot use clarify\n- Durable long-running work that must outlive the current turn -> use cronjob (action='create') or terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True) instead. delegate_task runs SYNCHRONOUSLY inside the parent turn: if the parent is interrupted (user sends a new message, /stop, /new) the child is cancelled with status='interrupted' and its work is discarded. Children cannot continue in the background.\n\nIMPORTANT:\n- Subagents have NO memory of your conversation. Pass all relevant info (file paths, error messages, constraints) via the 'context' field.\n- If the user is writing in a non-English language, or asked for output in a specific language / tone / style, say so in 'context' (e.g. \"respond in Chinese\", \"return output in Japanese\"). Otherwise subagents default to English and their summaries will contaminate your final reply with the wrong language.\n- Subagent summaries are SELF-REPORTS, not verified facts. A subagent that claims \"uploaded successfully\" or \"file written\" may be wrong. For operations with external side-effects (HTTP POST/PUT, remote writes, file creation at shared paths, publishing), require the subagent to return a verifiable handle (URL, ID, absolute path, HTTP status) and verify it yourself — fetch the URL, stat the file, read back the content — before telling the user the operation succeeded.\n- Leaf subagents (role='leaf', the default) CANNOT call: delegate_task, clarify, memory, send_message, execute_code.\n- Orchestrator subagents (role='orchestrator') retain delegate_task so they can spawn their own workers, but still cannot use clarify, memory, send_message, or execute_code. Orchestrators are bounded by max_spawn_depth=1 for this user and can be disabled globally via delegation.orchestrator_enabled=false.\n- Each subagent gets its own terminal session (separate working directory and state).\n- Results are always returned as an array, one entry per task.",

"thinking": "I found it! There's an OpenAI Codex OAuth entry in the OpenClaw auth profiles. This means the user has an active OpenAI Codex OAuth session. However, this is for OpenAI Codex CLI, not for the API.\n\nBut wait - the user said they have a \"ChatGPT subscription\". Let me check if there's a direct API key or if there's another way to get vision working.\n\nActually, looking at the migration report earlier, it mentioned:\n- `\"incoming\": \"openai-codex/gpt-5.4\"` - this was the user's model in OpenClaw\n- The user migrated from OpenClaw (GPT-5.4/Codex) to Hermes (MiniMax-M2.7)\n\n\n- The auth profiles confirm OpenAI Codex OAuth is active with valid tokens, so the user definitely has an authenticated OpenAI session\n\nNow I need to figure out if there's a way to leverage these OpenAI credentials for the vision tool in Hermes, since the current setup only has MiniMax configured. The real issue is that ChatGPT Plus doesn't automatically grant API access—I need to check if the user has actually created an OpenAI API key from their platform settings.",

Let me think about how to handle this...\n\n\nI could run the command in the background and let it wait for the OAuth callback, then notify the user when it completes or fails. Alternatively, I could check if there's a webhook or callback mechanism built in. Let me try the background approach and see if the command naturally completes once the user authenticates.",

"content": "Review the conversation above and update the skill library. Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n • User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n • A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order — prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n 1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded via /skill-name or you read via skill_view. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n 2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (via skills_list + skill_view). If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n 3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files — use the right directory per kind:\n • `references/.md` — session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n • `templates/.` — starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can `reproduce with modifications`).\n • `scripts/.` — statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n 4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong — fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply — the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\nDo NOT capture (these become persistent self-imposed constraints that bite you later when the environment changes):\n • Environment-dependent failures: missing binaries, fresh-install errors, post-migration path mismatches, 'command not found', unconfigured credentials, uninstalled packages. The user can fix these — they are not durable rules.\n • Negative claims about tools or features ('browser tools do not work', 'X tool is broken', 'cannot use Y from execute_code'). These harden into refusals the agent cites against itself for months after the actual problem was fixed.\n • Session-specific transient errors that resolved before the conversation ended. If retrying worked, the lesson is the retry pattern, not the original failure.\n • One-off task narratives. A user asking 'summarize today's market' or 'analyze this PR' is not a class of work that warrants a skill.\n\nIf a tool failed because of setup state, capture the FIX (install command, config step, env var to set) under an existing setup or troubleshooting skill — never 'this tool does not work' as a standalone constraint.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default. If the session ran smoothly with no corrections and produced no new technique, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop. Otherwise, act.\n\nYou can only call memory and skill management tools. Other tools will be denied at runtime — do not attempt them."

It belongs to the same category as Claude Code (Anthropic), Codex (OpenAI), and OpenClaw — autonomous coding and task-execution agents that use tool calling to interact with your system. Hermes works with any LLM provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, local models, and 15+ others) and runs on Linux, macOS, and WSL.\\n\\nWhat makes Hermes different:\\n\\n- **Self-improving through skills** — Hermes learns from experience by saving reusable procedures as skills. When it solves a complex problem, discovers a workflow, or gets corrected, it can persist that knowledge as a skill document that loads into future sessions. Skills accumulate over time, making the agent better at your specific tasks and environment.\\n- **Persistent memory across sessions** — remembers who you are, your preferences, environment details, and lessons learned. Pluggable memory backends (built-in, Honcho, Mem0, and more) let you choose how memory works.\\n- **Multi-platform gateway** — the same agent runs on Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Email, and 10+ other platforms with full tool access, not just chat.\\n- **Provider-agnostic** — swap models and providers mid-workflow without changing anything else. Credential pools rotate across multiple API keys automatically.\\n- **Profiles** — run multiple independent Hermes instances with isolated configs, sessions, skills, and memory.\\n- **Extensible** — plugins, MCP servers, custom tools, webhook triggers, cron scheduling, and the full Python ecosystem.\\n\\nPeople use Hermes for software development, research, system administration, data analysis, content creation, home automation, and anything else that benefits from an AI agent with persistent context and full system access.\\n\\n**This skill helps you work with Hermes Agent effectively** — setting it up, configuring features, spawning additional agent instances, troubleshooting issues, finding the right commands and settings, and understanding how the system works when you need to extend or contribute to it.\\n\\n**Docs:** https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/\\n\\n## Quick Start\\n\\n```bash\\n# Install\\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\\n\\n# Interactive chat (default)\\nhermes\\n\\n# Single query\\nhermes chat -q \\\"What is the capital of France?\\\"\\n\\n# Setup wizard\\nhermes setup\\n\\n# Change model/provider\\nhermes model\\n\\n# Check health\\nhermes doctor\\n```\\n\\n---\\n\\n## CLI Reference\\n\\n### Global Flags\\n\\n```\\nhermes [flags] [command]\\n\\n --version, -V Show version\\n --resume, -r SESSION Resume session by ID or title\\n --continue, -c [NAME] Resume by name, or most recent session\\n --worktree, -w Isolated git worktree mode (parallel agents)\\n --skills, -s SKILL Preload skills (comma-separate or repeat)\\n --profile, -p NAME Use a named profile\\n --yolo Skip dangerous command approval\\n --pass-session-id Include session ID in system prompt\\n```\\n\\nNo subcommand defaults to `chat`.\\n\\n### Chat\\n\\n```\\nhermes chat [flags]\\n -q, --query TEXT Single query, non-interactive\\n -m, --model MODEL Model (e.g. anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)\\n -t, --toolsets LIST Comma-separated toolsets\\n --provider PROVIDER Force provider (openrouter, anthropic, nous, etc.)\\n -v, --verbose Verbose output\\n -Q, --quiet Suppress banner, spinner, tool previews\\n --checkpoints Enable filesystem checkpoints (/rollback)\\n --source TAG Session source tag (default: cli)\\n```\\n\\n### Configuration\\n\\n```\\nhermes setup [section] Interactive wizard (model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent)\\nhermes model Interactive model/provider picker\\nhermes config View current config\\nhermes config edit Open config.yaml in $EDITOR\\nhermes config set KEY VAL Set a config value\\nhermes config path Print config.yaml path\\nhermes config env-path Print .env path\\nhermes config check Check for missing/outdated config\\nhermes config migrate Update config with new options\\nhermes login [--provider P] OAuth login (nous, openai-codex)\\nhermes logout Clear stored auth\\nhermes doctor [--fix] Check dependencies and config\\nhermes status [--all] Show component status\\n```\\n\\n### Tools & Skills\\n\\n```\\nhermes tools Interactive tool enable/disable (curses UI)\\nhermes tools list Show all tools and status\\nhermes tools enable NAME Enable a toolset\\nhermes tools disable NAME Disable a toolset\\n\\nhermes skills list List installed skills\\nhermes skills search QUERY Search the skills hub\\nhermes skills install ID Install a skill (ID can be a hub identifier OR a direct https://…/SKILL.md URL; pass --name to override when frontmatter has no name)\\nhermes skills inspect ID Preview without installing\\nhermes skills config Enable/disable skills per platform\\nhermes skills check Check for updates\\nhermes skills update Update outdated skills\\nhermes skills uninstall N Remove a hub skill\\nhermes skills publish PATH Publish to registry\\nhermes skills browse Browse all available skills\\nhermes skills tap add REPO Add a GitHub repo as skill source\\n```\\n\\n### MCP Servers\\n\\n```\\nhermes mcp serve Run Hermes as an MCP server\\nhermes mcp add NAME Add an MCP server (--url or --command)\\nhermes mcp remove NAME Remove an MCP server\\nhermes mcp list List configured servers\\nhermes mcp test NAME Test connection\\nhermes mcp configure NAME Toggle tool selection\\n```\\n\\n### Gateway (Messaging Platforms)\\n\\n```\\nhermes gateway run Start gateway foreground\\nhermes gateway install Install as background service (systemd user service)\\nhermes gateway start/stop Control the service\\nhermes gateway restart Restart the service\\nhermes gateway status Check status\\nhermes gateway setup Configure platforms\\n```\\n\\nSupported platforms: Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email, SMS, Matrix, Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, BlueBubbles (iMessage), Weixin (WeChat), API Server, Webhooks. Open WebUI connects via the API Server adapter.\\n\\nPlatform docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/\\n\\n### Web UI (Open WebUI)\\n\\nHermes does NOT have a built-in web UI. To access Hermes via a browser, use **Open WebUI** — a separate open-source web interface that connects to Hermes's API Server:\\n\\n```bash\\n# 1. Install Open WebUI\\npip install open-webui\\n\\n# 2. Start the gateway (needed for API Server to be available)\\nhermes gateway install # Set up systemd service\\nhermes gateway start # Start it\\n\\n# 3.

They do NOT apply mid-conversation to preserve prompt caching.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Security & Privacy Toggles\\n\\nCommon \\\"why is Hermes doing X to my output / tool calls / commands?\\\" toggles — and the exact commands to change them. Most of these need a fresh session (`/reset` in chat, or start a new `hermes` invocation) because they're read once at startup.\\n\\n### Secret redaction in tool output\\n\\nSecret redaction is **off by default** — tool output (terminal stdout, `read_file`, web content, subagent summaries, etc.) passes through unmodified. If the user wants Hermes to auto-mask strings that look like API keys, tokens, and secrets before they enter the conversation context and logs:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets true # enable globally\\n```\\n\\n**Restart required.** `security.redact_secrets` is snapshotted at import time — toggling it mid-session (e.g. via `export HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=true` from a tool call) will NOT take effect for the running process. Tell the user to run `hermes config set security.redact_secrets true` in a terminal, then start a new session. This is deliberate — it prevents an LLM from flipping the toggle on itself mid-task.\\n\\nDisable again with:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set security.redact_secrets false\\n```\\n\\n### PII redaction in gateway messages\\n\\nSeparate from secret redaction. When enabled, the gateway hashes user IDs and strips phone numbers from the session context before it reaches the model:\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii true # enable\\nhermes config set privacy.redact_pii false # disable (default)\\n```\\n\\n### Command approval prompts\\n\\nBy default (`approvals.mode: manual`), Hermes prompts the user before running shell commands flagged as destructive (`rm -rf`, `git reset --hard`, etc.). The modes are:\\n\\n- `manual` — always prompt (default)\\n- `smart` — use an auxiliary LLM to auto-approve low-risk commands, prompt on high-risk\\n- `off` — skip all approval prompts (equivalent to `--yolo`)\\n\\n```bash\\nhermes config set approvals.mode smart # recommended middle ground\\nhermes config set approvals.mode off # bypass everything (not recommended)\\n```\\n\\nPer-invocation bypass without changing config:\\n- `hermes --yolo …`\\n- `export HERMES_YOLO_MODE=1`\\n\\nNote: YOLO / `approvals.mode: off` does NOT turn off secret redaction. They are independent.\\n\\n### Shell hooks allowlist\\n\\nSome shell-hook integrations require explicit allowlisting before they fire. Managed via `~/.hermes/shell-hooks-allowlist.json` — prompted interactively the first time a hook wants to run.\\n\\n### Disabling the web/browser/image-gen tools\\n\\nTo keep the model away from network or media tools entirely, open `hermes tools` and toggle per-platform. Takes effect on next session (`/reset`).

Use tmux for interactive spawning:\\n\\n```\\n# Start\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s agent1 -x 120 -y 40 'hermes'\\\", timeout=10)\\n\\n# Wait for startup, then send a message\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Build a FastAPI auth service' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Read output\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 20 && tmux capture-pane -t agent1 -p\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Send follow-up\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 'Add rate limiting middleware' Enter\\\", timeout=5)\\n\\n# Exit\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t agent1 '/exit' Enter && sleep 2 && tmux kill-session -t agent1\\\", timeout=10)\\n```\\n\\n### Multi-Agent Coordination\\n\\n```\\n# Agent A: backend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s backend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t backend 'Build REST API for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Agent B: frontend\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux new-session -d -s frontend -x 120 -y 40 'hermes -w'\\\", timeout=10)\\nterminal(command=\\\"sleep 8 && tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Build React dashboard for user management' Enter\\\", timeout=15)\\n\\n# Check progress, relay context between them\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux capture-pane -t backend -p | tail -30\\\", timeout=5)\\nterminal(command=\\\"tmux send-keys -t frontend 'Here is the API schema from the backend agent: ...'

Quick reference\\nhere; full developer notes live in `AGENTS.md`, user-facing docs under\\n`website/docs/user-guide/features/`.\\n\\n### Delegation (`delegate_task`)\\n\\nSynchronous subagent spawn — the parent waits for the child's summary\\nbefore continuing its own loop. Isolated context + terminal session.\\n\\n- **Single:** `delegate_task(goal, context, toolsets)`.\\n- **Batch:** `delegate_task(tasks=[{goal, ...}, ...])` runs children in\\n parallel, capped by `delegation.max_concurrent_children` (default 3).\\n- **Roles:** `leaf` (default; cannot re-delegate) vs `orchestrator`\\n (can spawn its own workers, bounded by `delegation.max_spawn_depth`).\\n- **Not durable.** If the parent is interrupted, the child is\\n cancelled. For work that must outlive the turn, use `cronjob` or\\n `terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True)`.\\n\\nConfig: `delegation.*` in `config.yaml`.\\n\\n### Cron (scheduled jobs)\\n\\nDurable scheduler — `cron/jobs.py` + `cron/scheduler.py`. Drive it via\\nthe `cronjob` tool, the `hermes cron` CLI (`list`, `add`, `edit`,\\n`pause`, `resume`, `run`, `remove`), or the `/cron` slash command.\\n\\n- **Schedules:** duration (`\\\"30m\\\"`, `\\\"2h\\\"`), \\\"every\\\" phrase\\n (`\\\"every monday 9am\\\"`), 5-field cron (`\\\"0 9 * * *\\\"`), or ISO timestamp.\\n- **Per-job knobs:** `skills`, `model`/`provider` override, `script`\\n (pre-run data collection; `no_agent=True` makes the script the whole\\n job), `context_from` (chain job A's output into job B), `workdir`\\n (run in a specific dir with its `AGENTS.md` / `CLAUDE.md` loaded),\\n multi-platform delivery.\\n- **Invariants:** 3-minute hard interrupt per run, `.tick.lock` file\\n prevents duplicate ticks across processes, cron sessions pass\\n `skip_memory=True` by default, and cron deliveries are framed with a\\n header/footer instead of being mirrored into the target gateway\\n session (keeps role alternation intact).\\n\\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron\\n\\n### Curator (skill lifecycle)\\n\\nBackground maintenance for agent-created skills. Tracks usage, marks\\nidle skills stale, archives stale ones, keeps a pre-run tar.gz backup\\nso nothing is lost.\\n\\n- **CLI:** `hermes curator ` — `status`, `run`, `pause`, `resume`,\\n `pin`, `unpin`, `archive`, `restore`, `prune`, `backup`, `rollback`.\\n- **Slash:** `/curator ` mirrors the CLI.\\n- **Scope:** only touches skills with `created_by: \\\"agent\\\"` provenance.\\n Bundled + hub-installed skills are off-limits. **Never deletes** —\\n max destructive action is archive. Pinned skills are exempt from\\n every auto-transition and every LLM review pass.\\n- **Telemetry:** sidecar at `~/.hermes/skills/.usage.json` holds\\n per-skill `use_count`, `view_count`, `patch_count`,\\n `last_activity_at`, `state`, `pinned`.\\n\\nConfig: `curator.*` (`enabled`, `interval_hours`, `min_idle_hours`,\\n`stale_after_days`, `archive_after_days`, `backup.*`).\\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/curator\\n\\n### Kanban (multi-agent work queue)\\n\\nDurable SQLite board for multi-profile / multi-worker collaboration.\\nUsers drive it via `hermes kanban `; dispatcher-spawned workers\\nsee a focused `kanban_*` toolset gated by `HERMES_KANBAN_TASK` so the\\nschema footprint is zero outside worker processes.\\n\\n- **CLI verbs (common):** `init`, `create`, `list` (alias `ls`),\\n `show`, `assign`, `link`, `unlink`, `comment`, `complete`, `block`,\\n `unblock`, `archive`, `tail`. Less common: `watch`, `stats`, `runs`,\\n `log`, `dispatch`, `daemon`, `gc`.\\n- **Worker toolset:** `kanban_show`, `kanban_complete`, `kanban_block`,\\n `kanban_heartbeat`, `kanban_comment`, `kanban_create`, `kanban_link`.\\n- **Dispatcher** runs inside the gateway by default\\n (`kanban.dispatch_in_gateway: true`) — reclaims stale claims,\\n promotes ready tasks, atomically claims, spawns assigned profiles.\\n Auto-blocks a task after ~5 consecutive spawn failures.\\n- **Isolation:** board is the hard boundary (workers get\\n `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` pinned in env); tenant is a soft namespace\\n within a board for workspace-path + memory-key isolation.\\n\\nUser docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/kanban\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Windows-Specific Quirks\\n\\nHermes runs natively on Windows (PowerShell, cmd, Windows Terminal, git-bash\\nmintty, VS Code integrated terminal). Most of it just works, but a handful\\nof differences between Win32 and POSIX have bitten us — document new ones\\nhere as you hit them so the next person (or the next session) doesn't\\nrediscover them from scratch.\\n\\n### Input / Keybindings\\n\\n**Alt+Enter doesn't insert a newline.** Windows Terminal intercepts Alt+Enter\\nat the terminal layer to toggle fullscreen — the keystroke never reaches\\nprompt_toolkit. Use **Ctrl+Enter** instead. Windows Terminal delivers\\nCtrl+Enter as LF (`c-j`), distinct from plain Enter (`c-m` / CR), and the\\nCLI binds `c-j` to newline insertion on `win32` only (see\\n`_bind_prompt_submit_keys` + the Windows-only `c-j` binding in `cli.py`).\\nSide effect: the raw Ctrl+J keystroke also inserts a newline on Windows —\\nunavoidable, because Windows Terminal collapses Ctrl+Enter and Ctrl+J to\\nthe same keycode at the Win32 console API layer. No conflicting binding\\nexisted for Ctrl+J on Windows, so this is a harmless side effect.\\n\\nmintty / git-bash behaves the same (fullscreen on Alt+Enter) unless you\\ndisable Alt+Fn shortcuts in Options → Keys. Easier to just use Ctrl+Enter.\\n\\n**Diagnosing keybindings.** Run `python scripts/keystroke_diagnostic.py`\\n(repo root) to see exactly how prompt_toolkit identifies each keystroke\\nin the current terminal. Answers questions like \\\"does Shift+Enter come\\nthrough as a distinct key?\\\" (almost never — most terminals collapse it\\nto plain Enter) or \\\"what byte sequence is my terminal sending for\\nCtrl+Enter?\\\" This is how the Ctrl+Enter = c-j fact was established.\\n\\n### Config / Files\\n\\n**HTTP 400 \\\"No models provided\\\" on first run.** `config.yaml` was saved\\nwith a UTF-8 BOM (common when Windows apps write it). Re-save as UTF-8\\nwithout BOM. `hermes config edit` writes without BOM; manual edits in\\nNotepad are the usual culprit.\\n\\n### `execute_code` / Sandbox\\n\\n**WinError 10106** (\\\"The requested service provider could not be loaded\\nor initialized\\\") from the sandbox child process — it can't create an\\n`AF_INET` socket, so the loopback-TCP RPC fallback fails before\\n`connect()`. Root cause is usually **not** a broken Winsock LSP; it's\\nHermes's own env scrubber dropping `SYSTEMROOT` / `WINDIR` / `COMSPEC`\\nfrom the child env. Python's `socket` module needs `SYSTEMROOT` to locate\\n`mswsock.dll`. Fixed via the `_WINDOWS_ESSENTIAL_ENV_VARS` allowlist in\\n`tools/code_execution_tool.py`. If you still hit it, echo `os.environ`\\ninside an `execute_code` block to confirm `SYSTEMROOT` is set. Full\\ndiagnostic recipe in `references/execute-code-sandbox-env-windows.md`.\\n\\n### Testing / Contributing\\n\\n**`scripts/run_tests.sh` doesn't work as-is on Windows** — it looks for\\nPOSIX venv layouts (`.venv/bin/activate`). The Hermes-installed venv at\\n`venv/Scripts/` has no pip or pytest either (stripped for install size).\\nWorkaround: install `pytest + pytest-xdist + pyyaml` into a system Python\\n3.11 user site, then invoke pytest directly with `PYTHONPATH` set:\\n\\n```bash\\n\\\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\\\" -m pip install --user pytest pytest-xdist pyyaml\\nexport PYTHONPATH=\\\"$(pwd)\\\"\\n\\\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\\\" -m pytest tests/foo/test_bar.py -v --tb=short -n 0\\n```\\n\\nUse `-n 0`, not `-n 4` — `pyproject.toml`'s default `addopts` already\\nincludes `-n`, and the wrapper's CI-parity guarantees don't apply off POSIX.\\n\\n**POSIX-only tests need skip guards.** Common markers already in the codebase:\\n- Symlinks — elevated privileges on Windows\\n- `0o600` file modes — POSIX mode bits not enforced on NTFS by default\\n- `signal.SIGALRM` — Unix-only (see `tests/conftest.py::_enforce_test_timeout`)\\n- Winsock / Windows-specific regressions — `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != \\\"win32\\\", ...)`\\n\\nUse the existing skip-pattern style (`sys.platform == \\\"win32\\\"` or\\n`sys.platform.startswith(\\\"win\\\")`) to stay consistent with the rest of the\\nsuite.\\n\\n### Path / Filesystem\\n\\n**Line endings.** Git may warn `LF will be replaced by CRLF the next time\\nGit touches it`. Cosmetic — the repo's `.gitattributes` normalizes. Don't\\nlet editors auto-convert committed POSIX-newline files to CRLF.\\n\\n**Forward slashes work almost everywhere.** `C:/Users/...` is accepted by\\nevery Hermes tool and most Windows APIs. Prefer forward slashes in code\\nand logs — avoids shell-escaping backslashes in bash.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Troubleshooting\\n\\n### Voice not working\\n1. Check `stt.enabled: true` in config.yaml\\n2. Verify provider: `pip install faster-whisper` or set API key\\n3. In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n\\n### Tool not available\\n1. `hermes tools` — check if toolset is enabled for your platform\\n2. Some tools need env vars (check `.env`)\\n3. `/reset` after enabling tools\\n\\n### Model/provider issues\\n1. `hermes doctor` — check config and dependencies\\n2. `hermes login` — re-authenticate OAuth providers\\n3. Check `.env` has the right API key\\n4. **Copilot 403**: `gh auth login` tokens do NOT work for Copilot API. You must use the Copilot-specific OAuth device code flow via `hermes model` → GitHub Copilot.\\n\\n### Changes not taking effect\\n- **Tools/skills:** `/reset` starts a new session with updated toolset\\n- **Config changes:** In gateway: `/restart`. In CLI: exit and relaunch.\\n- **Code changes:** Restart the CLI or gateway process\\n\\n### Skills not showing\\n1. `hermes skills list` — verify installed\\n2. `hermes skills config` — check platform enablement\\n3. Load explicitly: `/skill name` or `hermes -s name`\\n\\n### Gateway issues\\nCheck logs first:\\n```bash\\ngrep -i \\\"failed to send\\\\|error\\\" ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log | tail -20\\n```\\n\\nCommon gateway problems:\\n- **Gateway dies on SSH logout**: Enable linger: `sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER`\\n- **Gateway dies on WSL2 close**: WSL2 requires `systemd=true` in `/etc/wsl.conf` for systemd services to work. Without it, gateway falls back to `nohup` (dies when session closes).\\n- **Gateway crash loop**: Reset the failed state: `systemctl --user reset-failed hermes-gateway`\\n\\n### Platform-specific issues\\n- **Discord bot silent**: Must enable **Message Content Intent** in Bot → Privileged Gateway Intents.\\n- **Slack bot only works in DMs**: Must subscribe to `message.channels` event. Without it, the bot ignores public channels.\\n- **Windows-specific issues** (`Alt+Enter` newline, WinError 10106, UTF-8 BOM config, test suite, line endings): see the dedicated **Windows-Specific Quirks** section above.\\n\\n### Telegram: Pairing Code Never Expires But Requires Manual Approval\\n\\nTelegram bot access control has two layers:\\n\\n**Layer 1 — Allowed Users (config-based, no pairing needed):**\\n```bash\\n# Set allowed Telegram user IDs (comma-separated for multiple)\\nhermes config set telegram.allowed_users \\\"123456789,987654321\\\"\\n\\n# OR allow ALL users (no security — for dev only)\\necho \\\"GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true\\\" >> ~/.hermes/.env\\n\\n# Always restart gateway after config changes\\nhermes gateway restart\\n```\\n\\n**Layer 2 — Pairing Code (first-time users or unlisted users):**\\nThe bot sends a pairing code → user replies it → admin approves manually:\\n```bash\\n# Check pending pairing requests\\nhermes pairing list\\n\\n# Approve a specific user\\nhermes pairing approve telegram \\n\\n# After approval, user must send another message — the bot won't auto-respond to the pairing reply\\n```\\n\\n**Key gotchas:**\\n- Pairing code does NOT auto-authorize — must run `hermes pairing approve`\\n- After approval, the user needs to send a NEW message (not reply to the pairing code) to start a session\\n- Config changes to `telegram.allowed_users` require `hermes gateway restart` to take effect\\n- Session recording: `record_sessions` exists in TWO places — `browser.record_sessions` (line ~97) and top-level `recording.record_sessions` (line ~519). The top-level `recording.record_sessions: true` is the one that controls Telegram session storage.\\n\\n### Auto-fix config issues\\n\\n```bash\\n# Check and fix config problems automatically\\nhermes doctor --fix\\n```\\n\\nCommon fixes: misplaced `api_key` in config.yaml, missing env vars, outdated config options.\\n\\n### Auxiliary models not working\\nIf `auxiliary` tasks (vision, compression, session_search) fail silently, the `auto` provider can't find a backend. Either set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` or `GOOGLE_API_KEY`, or explicitly configure each auxiliary task's provider:\\n\\n**Vision (image analysis):** MiniMax does NOT support image inputs via `/anthropic/v1/messages` in the tool result context — `vision_analyze` will return \\\"看不到图片\\\" even with valid image files. Switch to OpenAI:\\n```bash\\nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.provider openai\\nhermes config set auxiliary.vision.model gpt-4o\\n```\\nThen add `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...` to `~/.hermes/.env`. Restart via `/restart`.\\n\\n> Note: `ChatGPT Plus` ≠ `OpenAI API Key` — these are independent. Codex OAuth tokens are also not API Keys. Create a key at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys if you don't have one.\\n\\nSee `references/vision-image-handling.md` for the full diagnosis and alternatives.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Where to Find Things\\n\\n| Looking for... | Location |\\n|----------------|----------|\\n| Config options | `hermes config edit` or [Configuration docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/configuration) |\\n| Available tools | `hermes tools list` or [Tools reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/tools-reference) |\\n| Slash commands | `/help` in session or [Slash commands reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/slash-commands) |\\n| Skills catalog | `hermes skills browse` or [Skills catalog](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/skills-catalog) |\\n| Provider setup | `hermes model` or [Providers guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/integrations/providers) |\\n| Platform setup | `hermes gateway setup` or [Messaging docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging/) |\\n| MCP servers | `hermes mcp list` or [MCP guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/mcp) |\\n| Profiles | `hermes profile list` or [Profiles docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/profiles) |\\n| Cron jobs | `hermes cron list` or [Cron docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/cron) |\\n| Memory | `hermes memory status` or [Memory docs](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/memory) |\\n| Env variables | `hermes config env-path` or [Env vars reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/environment-variables) |\\n| CLI commands | `hermes --help` or [CLI reference](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/reference/cli-commands) |\\n| Gateway logs | `~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log` |\\n| Session files | `~/.hermes/sessions/` or `hermes sessions browse` |\\n| Source code | `~/.hermes/hermes-agent/` |\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Contributor Quick Reference\\n\\nFor occasional contributors and PR authors.

If tool_calls → dispatch each via handle_function_call() → append results → continue\\n c. If text response → return\\n 3. Context compression triggers automatically near token limit\\n```\\n\\n### Testing\\n\\n```bash\\npython -m pytest tests/ -o 'addopts=' -q # Full suite\\npython -m pytest tests/tools/ -q # Specific area\\n```\\n\\n- Tests auto-redirect `HERMES_HOME` to temp dirs — never touch real `~/.hermes/`\\n- Run full suite before pushing any change\\n- Use `-o 'addopts='` to clear any baked-in pytest flags\\n\\n**Windows contributors:** `scripts/run_tests.sh` currently looks for POSIX venvs (`.venv/bin/activate` / `venv/bin/activate`) and will error out on Windows where the layout is `venv/Scripts/activate` + `python.exe`. The Hermes-installed venv at `venv/Scripts/` also has no `pip` or `pytest` — it's stripped for end-user install size. Workaround: install pytest + pytest-xdist + pyyaml into a system Python 3.11 user site (`/c/Program Files/Python311/python -m pip install --user pytest pytest-xdist pyyaml`), then run tests directly:\\n\\n```bash\\nexport PYTHONPATH=\\\"$(pwd)\\\"\\n\\\"/c/Program Files/Python311/python\\\" -m pytest tests/tools/test_foo.py -v --tb=short -n 0\\n```\\n\\nUse `-n 0` (not `-n 4`) because `pyproject.toml`'s default `addopts` already includes `-n`, and the wrapper's CI-parity story doesn't apply off-POSIX.\\n\\n**Cross-platform test guards:** tests that use POSIX-only syscalls need a skip marker. Common ones already in the codebase:\\n- Symlink creation → `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform == \\\"win32\\\", reason=\\\"Symlinks require elevated privileges on Windows\\\")` (see `tests/cron/test_cron_script.py`)\\n- POSIX file modes (0o600, etc.) → `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform.startswith(\\\"win\\\"), reason=\\\"POSIX mode bits not enforced on Windows\\\")` (see `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_toctou_file_modes.py`)\\n- `signal.SIGALRM` → Unix-only (see `tests/conftest.py::_enforce_test_timeout`)\\n- Live Winsock / Windows-specific regression tests → `@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.platform != \\\"win32\\\", reason=\\\"Windows-specific regression\\\")`\\n\\n**Monkeypatching `sys.platform` is not enough** when the code under test also calls `platform.system()` / `platform.release()` / `platform.mac_ver()`. Those functions re-read the real OS independently, so a test that sets `sys.platform = \\\"linux\\\"` on a Windows runner will still see `platform.system() == \\\"Windows\\\"` and route through the Windows branch. Patch all three together:\\n\\n```python\\nmonkeypatch.setattr(sys, \\\"platform\\\", \\\"linux\\\")\\nmonkeypatch.setattr(platform, \\\"system\\\", lambda: \\\"Linux\\\")\\nmonkeypatch.setattr(platform, \\\"release\\\", lambda: \\\"6.8.0-generic\\\")\\n```\\n\\nSee `tests/agent/test_prompt_builder.py::TestEnvironmentHints` for a worked example.\\n\\n### Extending the system prompt's execution-environment block\\n\\nFactual guidance about the host OS, user home, cwd, terminal backend, and shell (bash vs. PowerShell on Windows) is emitted from `agent/prompt_builder.py::build_environment_hints()`. This is also where the WSL hint and per-backend probe logic live. The convention:\\n\\n- **Local terminal backend** → emit host info (OS, `$HOME`, cwd) + Windows-specific notes (hostname ≠ username, `terminal` uses bash not PowerShell).\\n- **Remote terminal backend** (anything in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`: `docker, singularity, modal, daytona, ssh, vercel_sandbox, managed_modal`) → **suppress** host info entirely and describe only the backend. A live `uname`/`whoami`/`pwd` probe runs inside the backend via `tools.environments.get_environment(...).execute(...)`, cached per process in `_BACKEND_PROBE_CACHE`, with a static fallback if the probe times out.\\n- **Key fact for prompt authoring:** when `TERMINAL_ENV != \\\"local\\\"`, *every* file tool (`read_file`, `write_file`, `patch`, `search_files`) runs inside the backend container, not on the host. The system prompt must never describe the host in that case — the agent can't touch it.\\n\\nFull design notes, the exact emitted strings, and testing pitfalls:\\n`references/prompt-builder-environment-hints.md`.\\n\\n**Refactor-safety pattern (POSIX-equivalence guard):** when you extract inline logic into a helper that adds Windows/platform-specific behavior, keep a `_legacy_` oracle function in the test file that's a verbatim copy of the old code, then parametrize-diff against it. Example: `tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py::TestPosixEquivalence`. This locks in the invariant that POSIX behavior is bit-for-bit identical and makes any future drift fail loudly with a clear diff.\\n\\n### Commit Conventions\\n\\n```\\ntype: concise subject line\\n\\nOptional body.\\n```\\n\\nTypes: `fix:`, `feat:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`, `chore:`\\n\\n### Key Rules\\n\\n- **Never break prompt caching** — don't change context, tools, or system prompt mid-conversation\\n- **Message role alternation** — never two assistant or two user messages in a row\\n- Use `get_hermes_home()` from `hermes_constants` for all paths (profile-safe)\\n- Config values go in `config.yaml`, secrets go in `.env`\\n- New tools need a `check_fn` so they only appear when requirements are met\\n\", \"path\": \"autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md\", \"skill_dir\": \"/home/kuhnn/.hermes/skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent\", \"linked_files\": {\"references\": [\"references/tavily-search-setup.md\", \"references/telegram-bot-privacy.md\", \"references/telegram-gateway-setup.md\", \"references/vision-image-handling.md\"]}, \"usage_hint\": \"To view linked files, call skill_view(name, file_path) where file_path is e.g. 'references/api.md' or 'assets/config.yaml'\", \"required_environment_variables\": [], \"required_commands\": [], \"missing_required_environment_variables\": [], \"missing_credential_files\": [], \"missing_required_commands\": [], \"setup_needed\": false, \"setup_skipped\": false, \"readiness_status\": \"available\", \"metadata\": {\"hermes\": {\"tags\": [\"hermes\", \"setup\", \"configuration\", \"multi-agent\", \"spawning\", \"cli\", \"gateway\", \"development\"], \"homepage\": \"https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent\", \"related_skills\": [\"claude-code\", \"codex\", \"opencode\"]}}}",

Requires a TTY for the polling phase\\n\\nPlain `terminal(command=\\\"hermes auth add openai-codex\\\")` times out because:\\n- The command blocks waiting for OAuth completion (minutes)\\n- PTY allocation isn't set up, so `input()` prompts hang silently\\n\\n## The Workaround\\n\\nUse the `script` command to allocate a pseudo-TTY:\\n\\n```bash\\nscript -q -c \\\"hermes auth add openai-codex --type oauth --no-browser\\\" /dev/null\\n```\\n\\n**Flags:**\\n- `-q` \\u2014 quiet (suppress `script` banner)\\n- `-c \\\"...\\\"` \\u2014 run the command string\\n- `/dev/null` \\u2014 don't record to file (just for PTY)\\n\\nThis captures the device code URL + code to stdout, then blocks waiting for OAuth completion.\\n\\n## Full Pattern for Background OAuth\\n\\nTo start the OAuth flow in background and read the code later:\\n\\n```bash\\n# Start in background, write output to file\\ncd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent\\nnohup script -q -c \\\"hermes auth add openai-codex --type oauth --no-browser\\\" /dev/null > /tmp/codex_auth.log 2>&1 &\\n\\n# Wait for output, then read the verification code\\nsleep 6 && cat /tmp/codex_auth.log\\n```\\n\\nOutput format:\\n```\\nTo continue, follow these steps:\\n\\n 1. Open this URL in your browser:\\n https://auth.openai.com/codex/device\\n\\n 2. Enter this code:\\n XXXX-XXXX\\n\\nWaiting for sign-in... (press Ctrl+C to cancel)\\n```\\n\\n## Providers Supporting OAuth Device Code\\n\\n| Provider | Command |\\n|----------|---------|\\n| OpenAI Codex | `hermes auth add openai-codex --type oauth --no-browser` |\\n| Nous | `hermes auth add nous --type oauth --no-browser` |\\n| xAI / Grok | `hermes auth add xai-oauth --type oauth --no-browser` |\\n| Qwen | `hermes auth add qwen-oauth --type oauth --no-browser` |\\n\\n## Caveats\\n\\n- **Codes expire** \\u2014 generated codes are time-limited (~10 minutes). If you wait too long before completing browser auth, the code is invalid and you need to restart.\\n- **Session persistence** \\u2014 once completed, tokens are stored in `~/.hermes/auth.json`. Re-running `hermes auth add openai-codex` will find existing credentials and ask whether to reuse them.\\n- **`--no-browser`** is essential on headless servers \\u2014 skips the attempt to auto-open a browser (which would fail anyway).\\n- **ChatGPT Plus \\u2260 API Key** \\u2014 OAuth device code flow logs into the user's ChatGPT account for Codex access (model: `openai-codex/gpt-5.4`), but this is NOT an OpenAI API Key and cannot be used as `OPENAI_API_KEY` for tools like `auxiliary.vision`.\\n\\n## For Vision: API Key Required\\n\\nThe `auxiliary.vision` tool needs an **OpenAI API Key** (`sk-...`), not an OAuth token. If the goal is vision capability:\\n\\n1. **Option A \\u2014 API Key** (recommended for vision):\\n ```bash\\n # Create at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys\\n echo \\\"OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...\\\" >> ~/.hermes/.env\\n hermes config set auxiliary.vision.provider openai\\n hermes config set auxiliary.vision.model gpt-4o\\n hermes gateway restart\\n ```\\n\\n2. **Option B \\u2014 Codex OAuth** (for Codex model access):\\n ```bash\\n script -q -c \\\"hermes auth add openai-codex --type oauth --no-browser\\\" /dev/null\\n # Complete browser auth, then:\\n hermes config set model.provider openai-codex\\n hermes config set auxiliary.vision.provider openai-codex\\n hermes config set auxiliary.vision.model gpt-4o\\n ```\\n Note: Codex OAuth tokens are stored in `auth.json` credential pool, separate from API Key auth.\\n\"}"
