feat: enhance auxiliary model configuration and environment variable handling

- Added support for auxiliary model overrides in the configuration, allowing users to specify providers and models for vision and web extraction tasks.
- Updated the CLI configuration example to include new auxiliary model settings.
- Enhanced the environment variable mapping in the CLI to accommodate auxiliary model configurations.
- Improved the resolution logic for auxiliary clients to support task-specific provider overrides.
- Updated relevant documentation and comments for clarity on the new features and their usage.

 # Hermes Agent - Development Guide
 
-Instructions for AI coding assistants and developers working on the hermes-agent codebase.
+Instructions for AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) and human developers.
+
+Hermes Agent is an AI agent harness with tool-calling capabilities, interactive CLI, messaging integrations, and scheduled tasks.
 
 ## Development Environment
 
+**IMPORTANT**: Always use the virtual environment if it exists:
 ```bash
-make setup          # First time: creates .venv, installs deps, sets up pre-commit
-source .venv/bin/activate
+source venv/bin/activate  # Before running any Python commands
 ```

+    def chat(self, user_message: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:
+        # Main entry point - runs the agent loop
+        ...
 ```
 
 ### Agent Loop
 
-The core loop is inside `run_conversation()` — entirely synchronous:
+The core loop in `_run_agent_loop()`:
+
+```
+1. Add user message to conversation
+2. Call LLM with tools
+3. If LLM returns tool calls:
+   - Execute each tool
+   - Add tool results to conversation
+   - Go to step 2
+4. If LLM returns text response:
+   - Return response to user
+```
 
 ```python
-while api_call_count < self.max_iterations and self.iteration_budget.remaining > 0:
-    response = client.chat.completions.create(model=model, messages=messages, tools=tool_schemas)
+while turns < max_turns:
+    response = client.chat.completions.create(
+        model=model,
+        messages=messages,
+        tools=tool_schemas,
+    )
+    
     if response.tool_calls:
         for tool_call in response.tool_calls:
-            result = handle_function_call(tool_call.name, tool_call.args, task_id)
+            result = await execute_tool(tool_call)
             messages.append(tool_result_message(result))
-        api_call_count += 1
+        turns += 1
     else:
         return response.content
 ```
 
-Messages follow OpenAI format: `{"role": "system/user/assistant/tool", ...}`. Reasoning content is stored in `assistant_msg["reasoning"]`.
+### Conversation Management
+
+Messages are stored as a list of dicts following OpenAI format:
+
+```python
+messages = [
+    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant..."},
+    {"role": "user", "content": "Search for Python tutorials"},
+    {"role": "assistant", "content": None, "tool_calls": [...]},
+    {"role": "tool", "tool_call_id": "...", "content": "..."},
+    {"role": "assistant", "content": "Here's what I found..."},
+]
+```
+
+### Reasoning Model Support
+
+For models that support chain-of-thought reasoning:
+- Extract `reasoning_content` from API responses
+- Store in `assistant_msg["reasoning"]` for trajectory export
+- Pass back via `reasoning_content` field on subsequent turns
 
 ---
 
 ## CLI Architecture (cli.py)
 
-- **Rich** for banner/panels, **prompt_toolkit** for input with autocomplete
-- **KawaiiSpinner** (`agent/display.py`) — animated faces during API calls, `┊` activity feed for tool results
-- `load_cli_config()` in cli.py merges hardcoded defaults + user config YAML
-- `process_command()` is a method on `HermesCLI` (not in commands.py)
-- Skill slash commands: `agent/skill_commands.py` scans `~/.hermes/skills/`, injects as **user message** (not system prompt) to preserve prompt caching
+The interactive CLI uses:
+- **Rich** - For the welcome banner and styled panels
+- **prompt_toolkit** - For fixed input area with history, `patch_stdout`, slash command autocomplete, and floating completion menus
+- **KawaiiSpinner** (in run_agent.py) - Animated kawaii faces during API calls; clean `┊` activity feed for tool execution results
+
+Key components:
+- `HermesCLI` class - Main CLI controller with commands and conversation loop
+- `SlashCommandCompleter` - Autocomplete dropdown for `/commands` (type `/` to see all)
+- `agent/skill_commands.py` - Scans skills and builds invocation messages (shared with gateway)
+- `load_cli_config()` - Loads config, sets environment variables for terminal
+- `build_welcome_banner()` - Displays ASCII art logo, tools, and skills summary
+
+CLI UX notes:
+- Thinking spinner (during LLM API call) shows animated kawaii face + verb (`(⌐■_■) deliberating...`)
+- When LLM returns tool calls, the spinner clears silently (no "got it!" noise)
+- Tool execution results appear as a clean activity feed: `┊ {emoji} {verb} {detail} {duration}`
+- "got it!" only appears when the LLM returns a final text response (`⚕ ready`)
+- The prompt shows `⚕ ❯` when the agent is working, `❯` when idle
+- Pasting 5+ lines auto-saves to `~/.hermes/pastes/` and collapses to a reference
+- Multi-line input via Alt+Enter or Ctrl+J
+- `/commands` - Process user commands like `/help`, `/clear`, `/personality`, etc.
+- `/skill-name` - Invoke installed skills directly (e.g., `/axolotl`, `/gif-search`)
+
+CLI uses `quiet_mode=True` when creating AIAgent to suppress verbose logging.
+
+### Skill Slash Commands
+
+Every installed skill in `~/.hermes/skills/` is automatically registered as a slash command.
+The skill name (from frontmatter or folder name) becomes the command: `axolotl` → `/axolotl`.
+
+Implementation (`agent/skill_commands.py`, shared between CLI and gateway):
+1. `scan_skill_commands()` scans all SKILL.md files at startup, filtering out skills incompatible with the current OS platform (via the `platforms` frontmatter field)
+2. `build_skill_invocation_message()` loads the SKILL.md content and builds a user-turn message
+3. The message includes the full skill content, a list of supporting files (not loaded), and the user's instruction
+4. Supporting files can be loaded on demand via the `skill_view` tool
+5. Injected as a **user message** (not system prompt) to preserve prompt caching
 
 ### Adding CLI Commands
 
-1. Add to `COMMANDS` dict in `hermes_cli/commands.py`
-2. Add handler in `HermesCLI.process_command()` in `cli.py`
-3. For persistent settings, use `save_config_value()` in `cli.py`
+1. Add to `COMMANDS` dict with description
+2. Add handler in `process_command()` method
+3. For persistent settings, use `save_config_value()` to update config

+
+## Messaging Gateway
+
+The gateway connects Hermes to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and WhatsApp.
+
+### Setup
+
+The interactive setup wizard handles platform configuration:
+
+```bash
+hermes gateway setup      # Arrow-key menu of all platforms, configure tokens/allowlists/home channels
+```
+
+This is the recommended way to configure messaging. It shows which platforms are already set up, walks through each one interactively, and offers to start/restart the gateway service at the end.
+
+Platforms can also be configured manually in `~/.hermes/.env`:
+
+### Configuration (in `~/.hermes/.env`):
+
+```bash
+# Telegram
+TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=123456:ABC-DEF...      # From @BotFather
+TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS=123456789,987654   # Comma-separated user IDs (from @userinfobot)
+
+# Discord  
+DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=MTIz...                 # From Developer Portal
+DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS=123456789012345678  # Comma-separated user IDs
+
+# Agent Behavior
+HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS=60                  # Max tool-calling iterations
+MESSAGING_CWD=/home/myuser                # Terminal working directory for messaging
+
+# Tool progress is configured in config.yaml (display.tool_progress: off|new|all|verbose)
+```
+
+### Working Directory Behavior
+
+- **CLI (`hermes` command)**: Uses current directory (`.` → `os.getcwd()`)
+- **Messaging (Telegram/Discord)**: Uses `MESSAGING_CWD` (default: home directory)
+
+This is intentional: CLI users are in a terminal and expect the agent to work in their current directory, while messaging users need a consistent starting location.
+
+### Security (User Allowlists):
+
+**IMPORTANT**: By default, the gateway denies all users who are not in an allowlist or paired via DM.
+
+The gateway checks `{PLATFORM}_ALLOWED_USERS` environment variables:
+- If set: Only listed user IDs can interact with the bot
+- If unset: All users are denied unless `GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` is set
+
+Users can find their IDs:
+- **Telegram**: Message [@userinfobot](https://t.me/userinfobot)
+- **Discord**: Enable Developer Mode, right-click name → Copy ID
+
+### DM Pairing System
+
+Instead of static allowlists, users can pair via one-time codes:
+1. Unknown user DMs the bot → receives pairing code
+2. Owner runs `hermes pairing approve <platform> <code>`
+3. User is permanently authorized
+
+Security: 8-char codes, 1-hour expiry, rate-limited (1/10min/user), max 3 pending per platform, lockout after 5 failed attempts, `chmod 0600` on data files.
+
+Files: `gateway/pairing.py`, `hermes_cli/pairing.py`
+
+### Event Hooks
+
+Hooks fire at lifecycle points. Place hook directories in `~/.hermes/hooks/`:
+
+```
+~/.hermes/hooks/my-hook/
+├── HOOK.yaml    # name, description, events list
+└── handler.py   # async def handle(event_type, context): ...
+```
+
+Events: `gateway:startup`, `session:start`, `session:reset`, `agent:start`, `agent:step`, `agent:end`, `command:*`
+
+The `agent:step` event fires each iteration of the tool-calling loop with tool names and results.
+
+Files: `gateway/hooks.py`
+
+### Tool Progress Notifications
+
+When `tool_progress` is enabled in `config.yaml`, the bot sends status messages as it works:
+- `💻 \`ls -la\`...` (terminal commands show the actual command)
+- `🔍 web_search...`
+- `📄 web_extract...`
+- `🐍 execute_code...` (programmatic tool calling sandbox)
+- `🔀 delegate_task...` (subagent delegation)
+- `❓ clarify...` (user question, CLI-only)
+
+Modes:
+- `new`: Only when switching to a different tool (less spam)
+- `all`: Every single tool call
+
+### Typing Indicator
+
+The gateway keeps the "typing..." indicator active throughout processing, refreshing every 4 seconds. This lets users know the bot is working even during long tool-calling sequences.
+
+### Platform Toolsets:
+
+Each platform has a dedicated toolset in `toolsets.py`:
+- `hermes-telegram`: Full tools including terminal (with safety checks)
+- `hermes-discord`: Full tools including terminal
+- `hermes-whatsapp`: Full tools including terminal
+
+---
+
+## Configuration System
+
+Configuration files are stored in `~/.hermes/` for easy user access:
+- `~/.hermes/config.yaml` - All settings (model, terminal, compression, etc.)
+- `~/.hermes/.env` - API keys and secrets
+
+### Adding New Configuration Options
+
+When adding new configuration variables, you MUST follow this process:
+
+#### For config.yaml options:
+
+1. Add to `DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py`
+2. **CRITICAL**: Bump `_config_version` in `DEFAULT_CONFIG` when adding required fields
+3. This triggers migration prompts for existing users on next `hermes update` or `hermes setup`
+
+Example:
+```python
+DEFAULT_CONFIG = {
+    # ... existing config ...
+    
+    "new_feature": {
+        "enabled": True,
+        "option": "default_value",
+    },
+    
+    # BUMP THIS when adding required fields
+    "_config_version": 2,  # Was 1, now 2
+}
+```
+
+#### For .env variables (API keys/secrets):
+
+1. Add to `REQUIRED_ENV_VARS` or `OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS` in `hermes_cli/config.py`
+2. Include metadata for the migration system:
+
+```python
+OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS = {
+    # ... existing vars ...
+    "NEW_API_KEY": {
+        "description": "What this key is for",
+        "prompt": "Display name in prompts",
+        "url": "https://where-to-get-it.com/",
+        "tools": ["tools_it_enables"],  # What tools need this
+        "password": True,  # Mask input
+    },
+}
+```
+
+#### Update related files:
+
+- `hermes_cli/setup.py` - Add prompts in the setup wizard
+- `cli-config.yaml.example` - Add example with comments
+- Update README.md if user-facing
+
+### Config Version Migration
+
+The system uses `_config_version` to detect outdated configs:
+
+1. `check_for_missing_config()` compares user config to `DEFAULT_CONFIG`
+2. `migrate_config()` interactively prompts for missing values
+3. Called automatically by `hermes update` and optionally by `hermes setup`
+
+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+API keys are loaded from `~/.hermes/.env`:
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` - Main LLM API access (primary provider)
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` - Web search/extract tools
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_URL` - Self-hosted Firecrawl endpoint (optional)
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` / `BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID` - Browser automation
+- `FAL_KEY` - Image generation (FLUX model)
+- `NOUS_API_KEY` - Vision and Mixture-of-Agents tools
+
+Terminal tool configuration (in `~/.hermes/config.yaml`):
+- `terminal.backend` - Backend: local, docker, singularity, modal, daytona, or ssh
+- `terminal.cwd` - Working directory ("." = host CWD for local only; for remote backends set an absolute path inside the target, or omit to use the backend's default)
+- `terminal.docker_image` - Image for Docker backend
+- `terminal.singularity_image` - Image for Singularity backend
+- `terminal.modal_image` - Image for Modal backend
+- `terminal.daytona_image` - Image for Daytona backend
+- `DAYTONA_API_KEY` - API key for Daytona backend (in .env)
+- SSH: `TERMINAL_SSH_HOST`, `TERMINAL_SSH_USER`, `TERMINAL_SSH_KEY` in .env
+
+Agent behavior (in `~/.hermes/.env`):
+- `HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS` - Max tool-calling iterations (default: 60)
+- `MESSAGING_CWD` - Working directory for messaging platforms (default: ~)
+- `display.tool_progress` in config.yaml - Tool progress: `off`, `new`, `all`, `verbose`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Voice transcription (Whisper STT)
+- `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` / `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` - Slack integration (Socket Mode)
+- `SLACK_ALLOWED_USERS` - Comma-separated Slack user IDs
+- `HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MODE` - Response pacing: off/natural/custom
+- `HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MIN_MS` / `HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MAX_MS` - Custom delay range
+
+### Dangerous Command Approval
+
+The terminal tool includes safety checks for potentially destructive commands (e.g., `rm -rf`, `DROP TABLE`, `chmod 777`, etc.):
+
+**Behavior by Backend:**
+- **Docker/Singularity/Modal**: Commands run unrestricted (isolated containers)
+- **Local/SSH**: Dangerous commands trigger approval flow
+
+**Approval Flow (CLI):**
+```
+⚠️  Potentially dangerous command detected: recursive delete
+    rm -rf /tmp/test
+
+    [o]nce  |  [s]ession  |  [a]lways  |  [d]eny
+    Choice [o/s/a/D]: 
+```
+
+**Approval Flow (Messaging):**
+- Command is blocked with explanation
+- Agent explains the command was blocked for safety
+- User must add the pattern to their allowlist via `hermes config edit` or run the command directly on their machine
+
+**Configuration:**
+- `command_allowlist` in `~/.hermes/config.yaml` stores permanently allowed patterns
+- Add patterns via "always" approval or edit directly
+
+**Sudo Handling (Messaging):**
+- If sudo fails over messaging, output includes tip to add `SUDO_PASSWORD` to `~/.hermes/.env`
+
+---
+
+## Background Process Management
+
+The `process` tool works alongside `terminal` for managing long-running background processes:
+
+**Starting a background process:**
+```python
+terminal(command="pytest -v tests/", background=true)
+# Returns: {"session_id": "proc_abc123", "pid": 12345, ...}
+```
+
+**Managing it with the process tool:**
+- `process(action="list")` -- show all running/recent processes
+- `process(action="poll", session_id="proc_abc123")` -- check status + new output
+- `process(action="log", session_id="proc_abc123")` -- full output with pagination
+- `process(action="wait", session_id="proc_abc123", timeout=600)` -- block until done
+- `process(action="kill", session_id="proc_abc123")` -- terminate
+- `process(action="write", session_id="proc_abc123", data="y")` -- send stdin
+- `process(action="submit", session_id="proc_abc123", data="yes")` -- send + Enter
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Background processes execute through the configured terminal backend (local/Docker/Modal/Daytona/SSH/Singularity) -- never directly on the host unless `TERMINAL_ENV=local`
+- The `wait` action blocks the tool call until the process finishes, times out, or is interrupted by a new user message
+- PTY mode (`pty=true` on terminal) enables interactive CLI tools (Codex, Claude Code)
+- In RL training, background processes are auto-killed when the episode ends (`tool_context.cleanup()`)
+- In the gateway, sessions with active background processes are exempt from idle reset
+- The process registry checkpoints to `~/.hermes/processes.json` for crash recovery
+
+Files: `tools/process_registry.py` (registry + handler), `tools/terminal_tool.py` (spawn integration)

 ## Adding New Tools
 
-Requires changes in **3 files**:
+Adding a tool requires changes in **2 files** (the tool file and `toolsets.py`):
+
+1. **Create `tools/your_tool.py`** with handler, schema, check function, and registry call:
 
-**1. Create `tools/your_tool.py`:**
 ```python
-import json, os
+# tools/example_tool.py
+import json
+import os
 from tools.registry import registry
 
-def check_requirements() -> bool:
+def check_example_requirements() -> bool:
+    """Check if required API keys/dependencies are available."""
     return bool(os.getenv("EXAMPLE_API_KEY"))
 
 def example_tool(param: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:
-    return json.dumps({"success": True, "data": "..."})
+    """Execute the tool and return JSON string result."""
+    try:
+        result = {"success": True, "data": "..."}
+        return json.dumps(result, ensure_ascii=False)
+    except Exception as e:
+        return json.dumps({"error": str(e)}, ensure_ascii=False)
+
+EXAMPLE_SCHEMA = {
+    "name": "example_tool",
+    "description": "Does something useful.",
+    "parameters": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+            "param": {"type": "string", "description": "The parameter"}
+        },
+        "required": ["param"]
+    }
+}
 
 registry.register(
     name="example_tool",
     toolset="example",
-    schema={"name": "example_tool", "description": "...", "parameters": {...}},
-    handler=lambda args, **kw: example_tool(param=args.get("param", ""), task_id=kw.get("task_id")),
-    check_fn=check_requirements,
+    schema=EXAMPLE_SCHEMA,
+    handler=lambda args, **kw: example_tool(
+        param=args.get("param", ""), task_id=kw.get("task_id")),
+    check_fn=check_example_requirements,
     requires_env=["EXAMPLE_API_KEY"],
 )
 ```
 
-**2. Add import** in `model_tools.py` `_discover_tools()` list.
+2. **Add to `toolsets.py`**: Add `"example_tool"` to `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` if it should be in all platform toolsets, or create a new toolset entry.
 
-**3. Add to `toolsets.py`** — either `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` (all platforms) or a new toolset.
+3. **Add discovery import** in `model_tools.py`'s `_discover_tools()` list: `"tools.example_tool"`.
 
-The registry handles schema collection, dispatch, availability checking, and error wrapping. All handlers MUST return a JSON string.
+That's it. The registry handles schema collection, dispatch, availability checking, and error wrapping automatically. No edits to `TOOLSET_REQUIREMENTS`, `handle_function_call()`, `get_all_tool_names()`, or any other data structure.
 
-**Agent-level tools** (todo, memory): intercepted by `run_agent.py` before `handle_function_call()`. See `todo_tool.py` for the pattern.
+**Optional:** Add to `OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS` in `hermes_cli/config.py` for the setup wizard, and to `toolset_distributions.py` for batch processing.
+
+**Special case: tools that need agent-level state** (like `todo`, `memory`):
+These are intercepted by `run_agent.py`'s tool dispatch loop *before* `handle_function_call()`. The registry still holds their schemas, but dispatch returns a stub error as a safety fallback. See `todo_tool.py` for the pattern.
+
+All tool handlers MUST return a JSON string. The registry's `dispatch()` wraps all exceptions in `{"error": "..."}` automatically.
+
+### Dynamic Tool Availability
+
+Tools declare their requirements at registration time via `check_fn` and `requires_env`. The registry checks `check_fn()` when building tool definitions -- tools whose check fails are silently excluded.
+
+### Stateful Tools
+
+Tools that maintain state (terminal, browser) require:
+- `task_id` parameter for session isolation between concurrent tasks
+- `cleanup_*()` function to release resources
+- Cleanup is called automatically in run_agent.py after conversation completes

-## Adding Configuration
+## Trajectory Format
 
-### config.yaml options:
-1. Add to `DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py`
-2. Bump `_config_version` (currently 5) to trigger migration for existing users
+Conversations are saved in ShareGPT format for training:
+```json
+{"from": "system", "value": "System prompt with <tools>...</tools>"}
+{"from": "human", "value": "User message"}
+{"from": "gpt", "value": "<think>reasoning</think>\n<tool_call>{...}</tool_call>"}
+{"from": "tool", "value": "<tool_response>{...}</tool_response>"}
+{"from": "gpt", "value": "Final response"}
+```
+
+Tool calls use `<tool_call>` XML tags, responses use `<tool_response>` tags, reasoning uses `<think>` tags.
+
+### Trajectory Export
 
-### .env variables:
-1. Add to `OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS` in `hermes_cli/config.py` with metadata:
 ```python
-"NEW_API_KEY": {
-    "description": "What it's for",
-    "prompt": "Display name",
-    "url": "https://...",
-    "password": True,
-    "category": "tool",  # provider, tool, messaging, setting
-},
+agent = AIAgent(save_trajectories=True)
+agent.chat("Do something")
+# Saves to trajectories/*.jsonl in ShareGPT format
 ```
 
-### Config loaders (two separate systems):
-
-| Loader | Used by | Location |
-|--------|---------|----------|
-| `load_cli_config()` | CLI mode | `cli.py` |
-| `load_config()` | `hermes tools`, `hermes setup` | `hermes_cli/config.py` |
-| Direct YAML load | Gateway | `gateway/run.py` |
-
 ---
 
-## Important Policies
+## Batch Processing (batch_runner.py)
 
-### Prompt Caching Must Not Break
-
-Hermes-Agent ensures caching remains valid throughout a conversation. **Do NOT implement changes that would:**
-- Alter past context mid-conversation
-- Change toolsets mid-conversation
-- Reload memories or rebuild system prompts mid-conversation
-
-Cache-breaking forces dramatically higher costs. The ONLY time we alter context is during context compression.
-
-### Working Directory Behavior
-- **CLI**: Uses current directory (`.` → `os.getcwd()`)
-- **Messaging**: Uses `MESSAGING_CWD` env var (default: home directory)
-
----
-
-## Known Pitfalls
-
-### DO NOT use `simple_term_menu` for interactive menus
-Rendering bugs in tmux/iTerm2 — ghosting on scroll. Use `curses` (stdlib) instead. See `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` for the pattern.
-
-### DO NOT use `\033[K` (ANSI erase-to-EOL) in spinner/display code
-Leaks as literal `?[K` text under `prompt_toolkit`'s `patch_stdout`. Use space-padding: `f"\r{line}{' ' * pad}"`.
-
-### `_last_resolved_tool_names` is a process-global in `model_tools.py`
-When subagents overwrite this global, `execute_code` calls after delegation may fail with missing tool imports. Known bug.
-
-### Tests must not write to `~/.hermes/`
-The `_isolate_hermes_home` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` redirects `HERMES_HOME` to a temp dir. Never hardcode `~/.hermes/` paths in tests.
-

-For targeted testing, use `pytest` directly:
+---
 
-```bash

-python -m pytest tests/tools/ -q                 # Tool-level tests
+## Skills System
+
+Skills are on-demand knowledge documents the agent can load. Compatible with the [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io/specification) open standard.

-Formatting is enforced by **ruff** (config in `pyproject.toml`). Pre-commit hooks run on every commit.
+**Progressive disclosure** (token-efficient):
+1. `skills_categories()` - List category names (~50 tokens)
+2. `skills_list(category)` - Name + description per skill (~3k tokens)
+3. `skill_view(name)` - Full content + tags + linked files
+
+SKILL.md files use YAML frontmatter (agentskills.io format):
+```yaml
+---
+name: skill-name
+description: Brief description for listing
+version: 1.0.0
+platforms: [macos]              # Optional — restrict to specific OS (macos/linux/windows)
+metadata:
+  hermes:
+    tags: [tag1, tag2]
+    related_skills: [other-skill]
+---
+# Skill Content...
+```
+
+**Platform filtering** — Skills with a `platforms` field are automatically excluded from the system prompt index, `skills_list()`, and slash commands on incompatible platforms. Skills without the field load everywhere (backward compatible). See `skills/apple/` for macOS-only examples (iMessage, Reminders, Notes, FindMy).
+
+**Skills Hub** — user-driven skill search/install from online registries and official optional skills. Sources: official optional skills (shipped with repo, labeled "official"), GitHub (openai/skills, anthropics/skills, custom taps), ClawHub, Claude marketplace, LobeHub. Not exposed as an agent tool — the model cannot search for or install skills. Users manage skills via `hermes skills browse/search/install` CLI commands or the `/skills` slash command in chat.
+
+Key files:
+- `tools/skills_tool.py` — Agent-facing skill list/view (progressive disclosure)
+- `tools/skills_guard.py` — Security scanner (regex + LLM audit, trust-aware install policy)
+- `tools/skills_hub.py` — Source adapters (OptionalSkillSource, GitHub, ClawHub, Claude marketplace, LobeHub), lock file, auth
+- `hermes_cli/skills_hub.py` — CLI subcommands + `/skills` slash command handler
+
+---
+
+## Testing Changes
+
+After making changes:
+
+1. Run `hermes doctor` to check setup
+2. Run `hermes config check` to verify config
+3. Test with `hermes chat -q "test message"`
+4. For new config options, test fresh install: `rm -rf ~/.hermes && hermes setup`

 - **Provider abstraction**: The agent works with any OpenAI-compatible API. Provider resolution happens at init time (Nous Portal OAuth, OpenRouter API key, or custom endpoint).
 - **Provider routing**: When using OpenRouter, `provider_routing` in config.yaml controls provider selection (sort by throughput/latency/price, allow/ignore specific providers, data retention policies). These are injected as `extra_body.provider` in API requests.

-- **Formatting**: Enforced by **ruff** (config in `pyproject.toml`). Run `make fmt` to auto-fix, `make lint` to check. Pre-commit hooks handle this automatically.
+- **PEP 8** with practical exceptions (we don't enforce strict line length)
 - **Comments**: Only when explaining non-obvious intent, trade-offs, or API quirks. Don't narrate what the code does — `# increment counter` adds nothing
 - **Error handling**: Catch specific exceptions. Log with `logger.warning()`/`logger.error()` — use `exc_info=True` for unexpected errors so stack traces appear in logs
 - **Cross-platform**: Never assume Unix. See [Cross-Platform Compatibility](#cross-platform-compatibility)

 ### Before submitting
 
-1. **Run checks**: `make check` (lint + test — same as CI)
+1. **Run tests**: `pytest tests/ -v`
 2. **Test manually**: Run `hermes` and exercise the code path you changed
 3. **Check cross-platform impact**: If you touch file I/O, process management, or terminal handling, consider Windows and macOS
 4. **Keep PRs focused**: One logical change per PR. Don't mix a bug fix with a refactor with a new feature.

+# send_file Integration Map — Hermes Agent Codebase Deep Dive
+
+## 1. environments/tool_context.py — Base64 File Transfer Implementation
+
+### upload_file() (lines 153-205)
+- Reads local file as raw bytes, base64-encodes to ASCII string
+- Creates parent dirs in sandbox via `self.terminal(f"mkdir -p {parent}")`
+- **Chunk size:** 60,000 chars (~60KB per shell command)
+- **Small files (<=60KB b64):** Single `printf '%s' '{b64}' | base64 -d > {remote_path}`
+- **Large files:** Writes chunks to `/tmp/_hermes_upload.b64` via `printf >> append`, then `base64 -d` to target
+- **Error handling:** Checks local file exists; returns `{exit_code, output}`
+- **Size limits:** No explicit limit, but shell arg limit ~2MB means chunking is necessary for files >~45KB raw
+- **No theoretical max** — but very large files would be slow (many terminal round trips)
+
+### download_file() (lines 234-278)
+- Runs `base64 {remote_path}` inside sandbox, captures stdout
+- Strips output, base64-decodes to raw bytes
+- Writes to host filesystem with parent dir creation
+- **Error handling:** Checks exit code, empty output, decode errors
+- Returns `{success: bool, bytes: int}` or `{success: false, error: str}`
+- **Size limit:** Bounded by terminal output buffer (practical limit ~few MB via base64 terminal output)
+
+### Promotion potential:
+- These methods work via `self.terminal()` — they're environment-agnostic
+- Could be directly lifted into a new tool that operates on the agent's current sandbox
+- For send_file, this `download_file()` pattern is the key: it extracts files from sandbox → host
+
+## 2. tools/environments/base.py — BaseEnvironment Interface
+
+### Current methods:
+- `execute(command, cwd, timeout, stdin_data)` → `{output, returncode}`
+- `cleanup()` — release resources
+- `stop()` — alias for cleanup
+- `_prepare_command()` — sudo transformation
+- `_build_run_kwargs()` — subprocess kwargs
+- `_timeout_result()` — standard timeout dict
+
+### What would need to be added for file transfer:
+- **Nothing required at this level.** File transfer can be implemented via `execute()` (base64 over terminal, like ToolContext does) or via environment-specific methods.
+- Optional: `upload_file(local_path, remote_path)` and `download_file(remote_path, local_path)` methods could be added to BaseEnvironment for optimized per-backend transfers, but the base64-over-terminal approach already works universally.
+
+## 3. tools/environments/docker.py — Docker Container Details
+
+### Container ID tracking:
+- `self._container_id` stored at init from `self._inner.container_id`
+- Inner is `minisweagent.environments.docker.DockerEnvironment`
+- Container ID is a standard Docker container hash
+
+### docker cp feasibility:
+- **YES**, `docker cp` could be used for optimized file transfer:
+  - `docker cp {container_id}:{remote_path} {local_path}` (download)
+  - `docker cp {local_path} {container_id}:{remote_path}` (upload)
+- Much faster than base64-over-terminal for large files
+- Container ID is directly accessible via `env._container_id` or `env._inner.container_id`
+
+### Volumes mounted:
+- **Persistent mode:** Bind mounts at `~/.hermes/sandboxes/docker/{task_id}/workspace` → `/workspace` and `.../home` → `/root`
+- **Ephemeral mode:** tmpfs at `/workspace` (10GB), `/home` (1GB), `/root` (1GB)
+- **User volumes:** From `config.yaml docker_volumes` (arbitrary `-v` mounts)
+- **Security tmpfs:** `/tmp` (512MB), `/var/tmp` (256MB), `/run` (64MB)
+
+### Direct host access for persistent mode:
+- If persistent, files at `/workspace/foo.txt` are just `~/.hermes/sandboxes/docker/{task_id}/workspace/foo.txt` on host — no transfer needed!
+
+## 4. tools/environments/ssh.py — SSH Connection Management
+
+### Connection management:
+- Uses SSH ControlMaster for persistent connection
+- Control socket at `/tmp/hermes-ssh/{user}@{host}:{port}.sock`
+- ControlPersist=300 (5 min keepalive)
+- BatchMode=yes (non-interactive)
+- Stores: `self.host`, `self.user`, `self.port`, `self.key_path`
+
+### SCP/SFTP feasibility:
+- **YES**, SCP can piggyback on the ControlMaster socket:
+  - `scp -o ControlPath={socket} {user}@{host}:{remote} {local}` (download)
+  - `scp -o ControlPath={socket} {local} {user}@{host}:{remote}` (upload)
+- Same SSH key and connection reuse — zero additional auth
+- Would be much faster than base64-over-terminal for large files
+
+## 5. tools/environments/modal.py — Modal Sandbox Filesystem
+
+### Filesystem API exposure:
+- **Not directly.** The inner `SwerexModalEnvironment` wraps Modal's sandbox
+- The sandbox object is accessible at: `env._inner.deployment._sandbox`
+- Modal's Python SDK exposes `sandbox.open()` for file I/O — but only via async API
+- Currently only used for `snapshot_filesystem()` during cleanup
+- **Could use:** `sandbox.open(path, "rb")` to read files or `sandbox.open(path, "wb")` to write
+- **Alternative:** Base64-over-terminal already works via `execute()` — simpler, no SDK dependency
+
+## 6. gateway/platforms/base.py — MEDIA: Tag Flow (Complete)
+
+### extract_media() (lines 587-620):
+- **Pattern:** `MEDIA:\S+` — extracts file paths after MEDIA: prefix
+- **Voice flag:** `[[audio_as_voice]]` global directive sets `is_voice=True` for all media in message
+- Returns `List[Tuple[str, bool]]` (path, is_voice) and cleaned content
+
+### _process_message_background() media routing (lines 752-786):
+- After extracting MEDIA tags, routes by file extension:
+  - `.ogg .opus .mp3 .wav .m4a` → `send_voice()`
+  - `.mp4 .mov .avi .mkv .3gp` → `send_video()`
+  - `.jpg .jpeg .png .webp .gif` → `send_image_file()`
+  - **Everything else** → `send_document()`
+- This routing already supports arbitrary files!
+
+### send_* method inventory (base class):
+- `send(chat_id, content, reply_to, metadata)` — ABSTRACT, text
+- `send_image(chat_id, image_url, caption, reply_to)` — URL-based images
+- `send_animation(chat_id, animation_url, caption, reply_to)` — GIF animations
+- `send_voice(chat_id, audio_path, caption, reply_to)` — voice messages
+- `send_video(chat_id, video_path, caption, reply_to)` — video files
+- `send_document(chat_id, file_path, caption, file_name, reply_to)` — generic files
+- `send_image_file(chat_id, image_path, caption, reply_to)` — local image files
+- `send_typing(chat_id)` — typing indicator
+- `edit_message(chat_id, message_id, content)` — edit sent messages
+
+### What's missing:
+- **Telegram:** No override for `send_document` or `send_image_file` — falls back to text!
+- **Discord:** No override for `send_document` — falls back to text!
+- **WhatsApp:** Has `send_document` and `send_image_file` via bridge — COMPLETE.
+- The base class defaults just send "📎 File: /path" as text — useless for actual file delivery.
+
+## 7. gateway/platforms/telegram.py — Send Method Analysis
+
+### Implemented send methods:
+- `send()` — MarkdownV2 text with fallback to plain
+- `send_voice()` — `.ogg`/`.opus` as `send_voice()`, others as `send_audio()`
+- `send_image()` — URL-based via `send_photo()`
+- `send_animation()` — GIF via `send_animation()`
+- `send_typing()` — "typing" chat action
+- `edit_message()` — edit text messages
+
+### MISSING:
+- **`send_document()` NOT overridden** — Need to add `self._bot.send_document(chat_id, document=open(file_path, 'rb'), ...)`
+- **`send_image_file()` NOT overridden** — Need to add `self._bot.send_photo(chat_id, photo=open(path, 'rb'), ...)`
+- **`send_video()` NOT overridden** — Need to add `self._bot.send_video(...)`
+
+## 8. gateway/platforms/discord.py — Send Method Analysis
+
+### Implemented send methods:
+- `send()` — text messages with chunking
+- `send_voice()` — discord.File attachment
+- `send_image()` — downloads URL, creates discord.File attachment
+- `send_typing()` — channel.typing()
+- `edit_message()` — edit text messages
+
+### MISSING:
+- **`send_document()` NOT overridden** — Need to add discord.File attachment
+- **`send_image_file()` NOT overridden** — Need to add discord.File from local path
+- **`send_video()` NOT overridden** — Need to add discord.File attachment
+
+## 9. gateway/run.py — User File Attachment Handling
+
+### Current attachment flow:
+1. **Telegram photos** (line 509-529): Download via `photo.get_file()` → `cache_image_from_bytes()` → vision auto-analysis
+2. **Telegram voice** (line 532-541): Download → `cache_audio_from_bytes()` → STT transcription
+3. **Telegram audio** (line 542-551): Same pattern
+4. **Telegram documents** (line 553-617): Extension validation against `SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES`, 20MB limit, content injection for text files
+5. **Discord attachments** (line 717-751): Content-type detection, image/audio caching, URL fallback for other types
+6. **Gateway run.py** (lines 818-883): Auto-analyzes images with vision, transcribes audio, enriches document messages with context notes
+
+### Key insight: Files are always cached to host filesystem first, then processed. The agent sees local file paths.
+
+## 10. tools/terminal_tool.py — Terminal Tool & Environment Interaction
+
+### How it manages environments:
+- Global dict `_active_environments: Dict[str, Any]` keyed by task_id
+- Per-task creation locks prevent duplicate sandbox creation
+- Auto-cleanup thread kills idle environments after `TERMINAL_LIFETIME_SECONDS`
+- `_get_env_config()` reads all TERMINAL_* env vars for backend selection
+- `_create_environment()` factory creates the right backend type
+
+### Could send_file piggyback?
+- **YES.** send_file needs access to the same environment to extract files from sandboxes.
+- It can reuse `_active_environments[task_id]` to get the environment, then:
+  - Docker: Use `docker cp` via `env._container_id`
+  - SSH: Use `scp` via `env.control_socket`
+  - Local: Just read the file directly
+  - Modal: Use base64-over-terminal via `env.execute()`
+- The file_tools.py module already does this with `ShellFileOperations` — read_file/write_file/search/patch all share the same env instance.
+
+## 11. tools/tts_tool.py — Working Example of File Delivery
+
+### Flow:
+1. Generate audio file to `~/.hermes/audio_cache/tts_TIMESTAMP.{ogg,mp3}`
+2. Return JSON with `media_tag: "MEDIA:/path/to/file"`
+3. For Telegram voice: prepend `[[audio_as_voice]]` directive
+4. The LLM includes the MEDIA tag in its response text
+5. `BasePlatformAdapter._process_message_background()` calls `extract_media()` to find the tag
+6. Routes by extension → `send_voice()` for audio files
+7. Platform adapter sends the file natively
+
+### Key pattern: Tool saves file to host → returns MEDIA: path → LLM echoes it → gateway extracts → platform delivers
+
+## 12. tools/image_generation_tool.py — Working Example of Image Delivery
+
+### Flow:
+1. Call FAL.ai API → get image URL
+2. Return JSON with `image: "https://fal.media/..."` URL
+3. The LLM includes the URL in markdown: `![description](URL)`
+4. `BasePlatformAdapter.extract_images()` finds `![alt](url)` patterns
+5. Routes through `send_image()` (URL) or `send_animation()` (GIF)
+6. Platform downloads and sends natively
+
+### Key difference from TTS: Images are URL-based, not local files. The gateway downloads at send time.
+
+---
+
+# INTEGRATION MAP: Where send_file Hooks In
+
+## Architecture Decision: MEDIA: Tag Protocol vs. New Tool
+
+The MEDIA: tag protocol is already the established pattern for file delivery. Two options:
+
+### Option A: Pure MEDIA: Tag (Minimal Change)
+- No new tool needed
+- Agent downloads file from sandbox to host using terminal (base64)
+- Saves to known location (e.g., `~/.hermes/file_cache/`)
+- Includes `MEDIA:/path` in response text
+- Existing routing in `_process_message_background()` handles delivery
+- **Problem:** Agent has to manually do base64 dance + know about MEDIA: convention
+
+### Option B: Dedicated send_file Tool (Recommended)
+- New tool that the agent calls with `(file_path, caption?)`
+- Tool handles the sandbox → host extraction automatically
+- Returns MEDIA: tag that gets routed through existing pipeline
+- Much cleaner agent experience
+
+## Implementation Plan for Option B
+
+### Files to CREATE:
+
+1. **`tools/send_file_tool.py`** — The new tool
+   - Accepts: `file_path` (path in sandbox), `caption` (optional)
+   - Detects environment backend from `_active_environments`
+   - Extracts file from sandbox:
+     - **local:** `shutil.copy()` or direct path
+     - **docker:** `docker cp {container_id}:{path} {local_cache}/`

+
+### Files to MODIFY:
+
+2. **`gateway/platforms/telegram.py`** — Add missing send methods:

+
+3. **`gateway/platforms/discord.py`** — Add missing send methods:

+       channel = self._client.get_channel(int(chat_id)) or await self._client.fetch_channel(int(chat_id))

+   
+   async def send_video(self, chat_id, video_path, caption=None, reply_to=None):
+       # Same pattern, discord renders video attachments inline
+   ```
+
+4. **`toolsets.py`** — Add `"send_file"` to `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` list
+
+5. **`agent/prompt_builder.py`** — Update platform hints to mention send_file tool
+
+### Code that can be REUSED (zero rewrite):
+
+- `BasePlatformAdapter.extract_media()` — Already extracts MEDIA: tags
+- `BasePlatformAdapter._process_message_background()` — Already routes by extension
+- `ToolContext.download_file()` — Base64-over-terminal extraction pattern
+- `tools/terminal_tool.py` _active_environments dict — Environment access
+- `tools/registry.py` — Tool registration infrastructure
+- `gateway/platforms/base.py` send_document/send_image_file/send_video signatures — Already defined
+
+### Code that needs to be WRITTEN from scratch:
+
+1. `tools/send_file_tool.py` (~150 lines):
+   - File extraction from each environment backend type
+   - Local file cache management
+   - Registry registration
+   
+2. Telegram `send_document` + `send_image_file` + `send_video` overrides (~40 lines)
+3. Discord `send_document` + `send_image_file` + `send_video` overrides (~50 lines)
+
+### Total effort: ~240 lines of new code, ~5 lines of config changes
+
+## Key Environment-Specific Extract Strategies
+
+| Backend    | Extract Method                 | Speed    | Complexity |
+|------------|-------------------------------|----------|------------|
+| local      | shutil.copy / direct path     | Instant  | None       |
+| docker     | `docker cp container:path .`  | Fast     | Low        |
+| docker+vol | Direct host path access       | Instant  | None       |
+| ssh        | `scp -o ControlPath=...`      | Fast     | Low        |
+| modal      | base64-over-terminal          | Moderate | Medium     |
+| singularity| Direct path (overlay mount)   | Fast     | Low        |

-# Adding a New Messaging Platform
-
-Checklist for integrating a new messaging platform into the Hermes gateway.
-Use this as a reference when building a new adapter — every item here is a
-real integration point that exists in the codebase. Missing any of them will
-cause broken functionality, missing features, or inconsistent behavior.
-
----
-
-## 1. Core Adapter (`gateway/platforms/<platform>.py`)
-
-The adapter is a subclass of `BasePlatformAdapter` from `gateway/platforms/base.py`.
-
-### Required methods
-
-| Method | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `__init__(self, config)` | Parse config, init state. Call `super().__init__(config, Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM)` |
-| `connect() -> bool` | Connect to the platform, start listeners. Return True on success |
-| `disconnect()` | Stop listeners, close connections, cancel tasks |
-| `send(chat_id, text, ...) -> SendResult` | Send a text message |
-| `send_typing(chat_id)` | Send typing indicator |
-| `send_image(chat_id, image_url, caption) -> SendResult` | Send an image |
-| `get_chat_info(chat_id) -> dict` | Return `{name, type, chat_id}` for a chat |
-
-### Optional methods (have default stubs in base)
-
-| Method | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `send_document(chat_id, path, caption)` | Send a file attachment |
-| `send_voice(chat_id, path)` | Send a voice message |
-| `send_video(chat_id, path, caption)` | Send a video |
-| `send_animation(chat_id, path, caption)` | Send a GIF/animation |
-| `send_image_file(chat_id, path, caption)` | Send image from local file |
-
-### Required function
-
-```python
-def check_<platform>_requirements() -> bool:
-    """Check if this platform's dependencies are available."""
-```
-
-### Key patterns to follow
-
-- Use `self.build_source(...)` to construct `SessionSource` objects
-- Call `self.handle_message(event)` to dispatch inbound messages to the gateway
-- Use `MessageEvent`, `MessageType`, `SendResult` from base
-- Use `cache_image_from_bytes`, `cache_audio_from_bytes`, `cache_document_from_bytes` for attachments
-- Filter self-messages (prevent reply loops)
-- Filter sync/echo messages if the platform has them
-- Redact sensitive identifiers (phone numbers, tokens) in all log output
-- Implement reconnection with exponential backoff + jitter for streaming connections
-- Set `MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH` if the platform has message size limits
-
----
-
-## 2. Platform Enum (`gateway/config.py`)
-
-Add the platform to the `Platform` enum:
-
-```python
-class Platform(Enum):
-    ...
-    YOUR_PLATFORM = "your_platform"
-```
-
-Add env var loading in `_apply_env_overrides()`:
-
-```python
-# Your Platform
-your_token = os.getenv("YOUR_PLATFORM_TOKEN")
-if your_token:
-    if Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM not in config.platforms:
-        config.platforms[Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM] = PlatformConfig()
-    config.platforms[Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM].enabled = True
-    config.platforms[Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM].token = your_token
-```
-
-Update `get_connected_platforms()` if your platform doesn't use token/api_key
-(e.g., WhatsApp uses `enabled` flag, Signal uses `extra` dict).
-
----
-
-## 3. Adapter Factory (`gateway/run.py`)
-
-Add to `_create_adapter()`:
-
-```python
-elif platform == Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM:
-    from gateway.platforms.your_platform import YourAdapter, check_your_requirements
-    if not check_your_requirements():
-        logger.warning("Your Platform: dependencies not met")
-        return None
-    return YourAdapter(config)
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. Authorization Maps (`gateway/run.py`)
-
-Add to BOTH dicts in `_is_user_authorized()`:
-
-```python
-platform_env_map = {
-    ...
-    Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM: "YOUR_PLATFORM_ALLOWED_USERS",
-}
-platform_allow_all_map = {
-    ...
-    Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM: "YOUR_PLATFORM_ALLOW_ALL_USERS",
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 5. Session Source (`gateway/session.py`)
-
-If your platform needs extra identity fields (e.g., Signal's UUID alongside
-phone number), add them to the `SessionSource` dataclass with `Optional` defaults,
-and update `to_dict()`, `from_dict()`, and `build_source()` in base.py.
-
----
-
-## 6. System Prompt Hints (`agent/prompt_builder.py`)
-
-Add a `PLATFORM_HINTS` entry so the agent knows what platform it's on:
-
-```python
-PLATFORM_HINTS = {
-    ...
-    "your_platform": (
-        "You are on Your Platform. "
-        "Describe formatting capabilities, media support, etc."
-    ),
-}
-```
-
-Without this, the agent won't know it's on your platform and may use
-inappropriate formatting (e.g., markdown on platforms that don't render it).
-
----
-
-## 7. Toolset (`toolsets.py`)
-
-Add a named toolset for your platform:
-
-```python
-"hermes-your-platform": {
-    "description": "Your Platform bot toolset",
-    "tools": _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS,
-    "includes": []
-},
-```
-
-And add it to the `hermes-gateway` composite:
-
-```python
-"hermes-gateway": {
-    "includes": [..., "hermes-your-platform"]
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 8. Cron Delivery (`cron/scheduler.py`)
-
-Add to `platform_map` in `_deliver_result()`:
-
-```python
-platform_map = {
-    ...
-    "your_platform": Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM,
-}
-```
-
-Without this, `schedule_cronjob(deliver="your_platform")` silently fails.
-
----
-
-## 9. Send Message Tool (`tools/send_message_tool.py`)
-
-Add to `platform_map` in `send_message_tool()`:
-
-```python
-platform_map = {
-    ...
-    "your_platform": Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM,
-}
-```
-
-Add routing in `_send_to_platform()`:
-
-```python
-elif platform == Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM:
-    return await _send_your_platform(pconfig, chat_id, message)
-```
-
-Implement `_send_your_platform()` — a standalone async function that sends
-a single message without requiring the full adapter (for use by cron jobs
-and the send_message tool outside the gateway process).
-
-Update the tool schema `target` description to include your platform example.
-
----
-
-## 10. Cronjob Tool Schema (`tools/cronjob_tools.py`)
-
-Update the `deliver` parameter description and docstring to mention your
-platform as a delivery option.
-
----
-
-## 11. Channel Directory (`gateway/channel_directory.py`)
-
-If your platform can't enumerate chats (most can't), add it to the
-session-based discovery list:
-
-```python
-for plat_name in ("telegram", "whatsapp", "signal", "your_platform"):
-```
-
----
-
-## 12. Status Display (`hermes_cli/status.py`)
-
-Add to the `platforms` dict in the Messaging Platforms section:
-
-```python
-platforms = {
-    ...
-    "Your Platform": ("YOUR_PLATFORM_TOKEN", "YOUR_PLATFORM_HOME_CHANNEL"),
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## 13. Gateway Setup Wizard (`hermes_cli/gateway.py`)
-
-Add to the `_PLATFORMS` list:
-
-```python
-{
-    "key": "your_platform",
-    "label": "Your Platform",
-    "emoji": "📱",
-    "token_var": "YOUR_PLATFORM_TOKEN",
-    "setup_instructions": [...],
-    "vars": [...],
-}
-```
-
-If your platform needs custom setup logic (connectivity testing, QR codes,
-policy choices), add a `_setup_your_platform()` function and route to it
-in the platform selection switch.
-
-Update `_platform_status()` if your platform's "configured" check differs
-from the standard `bool(get_env_value(token_var))`.
-
----
-
-## 14. Phone/ID Redaction (`agent/redact.py`)
-
-If your platform uses sensitive identifiers (phone numbers, etc.), add a
-regex pattern and redaction function to `agent/redact.py`. This ensures
-identifiers are masked in ALL log output, not just your adapter's logs.
-
----
-
-## 15. Documentation
-
-| File | What to update |
-|------|---------------|
-| `README.md` | Platform list in feature table + documentation table |
-| `AGENTS.md` | Gateway description + env var config section |
-| `website/docs/user-guide/messaging/<platform>.md` | **NEW** — Full setup guide (see existing platform docs for template) |
-| `website/docs/user-guide/messaging/index.md` | Architecture diagram, toolset table, security examples, Next Steps links |
-| `website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md` | All env vars for the platform |
-
----
-
-## 16. Tests (`tests/gateway/test_<platform>.py`)
-
-Recommended test coverage:
-
-- Platform enum exists with correct value
-- Config loading from env vars via `_apply_env_overrides`
-- Adapter init (config parsing, allowlist handling, default values)
-- Helper functions (redaction, parsing, file type detection)
-- Session source round-trip (to_dict → from_dict)
-- Authorization integration (platform in allowlist maps)
-- Send message tool routing (platform in platform_map)
-
-Optional but valuable:
-- Async tests for message handling flow (mock the platform API)
-- SSE/WebSocket reconnection logic
-- Attachment processing
-- Group message filtering
-
----
-
-## Quick Verification
-
-After implementing everything, verify with:
-
-```bash
-# All checks pass (lint + test)
-make check
-
-# Grep for your platform name to find any missed integration points
-grep -r "telegram\|discord\|whatsapp\|slack" gateway/ tools/ agent/ cron/ hermes_cli/ toolsets.py \
-  --include="*.py" -l | sort -u
-# Check each file in the output — if it mentions other platforms but not yours, you missed it
-```

-# Solana Blockchain Skill
-
-Query Solana on-chain data enriched with USD pricing via CoinGecko.
-8 commands: wallet portfolio, token info, transactions, activity, NFTs,
-whale detection, network stats, and price lookup.
-
-No API key needed. Uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse).
-
----
-
-## When to Use
-
-- User asks for a Solana wallet balance, token holdings, or portfolio value
-- User wants to inspect a specific transaction by signature
-- User wants SPL token metadata, price, supply, or top holders
-- User wants recent transaction history for an address
-- User wants NFTs owned by a wallet
-- User wants to find large SOL transfers (whale detection)
-- User wants Solana network health, TPS, epoch, or SOL price
-- User asks "what's the price of BONK/JUP/SOL?"
-
----
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-The helper script uses only Python standard library (urllib, json, argparse).
-No external packages required.
-
-Pricing data comes from CoinGecko's free API (no key needed, rate-limited
-to ~10-30 requests/minute). For faster lookups, use `--no-prices` flag.
-
----
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-RPC endpoint (default): https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
-Override: export SOLANA_RPC_URL=https://your-private-rpc.com
-
-Helper script path: ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py
-
-```
-python3 solana_client.py wallet   <address> [--limit N] [--all] [--no-prices]
-python3 solana_client.py tx       <signature>
-python3 solana_client.py token    <mint_address>
-python3 solana_client.py activity <address> [--limit N]
-python3 solana_client.py nft      <address>
-python3 solana_client.py whales   [--min-sol N]
-python3 solana_client.py stats
-python3 solana_client.py price    <mint_or_symbol>
-```
-
----
-
-## Procedure
-
-### 0. Setup Check
-
-```bash
-python3 --version
-
-# Optional: set a private RPC for better rate limits
-export SOLANA_RPC_URL="https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com"
-
-# Confirm connectivity
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats
-```
-
-### 1. Wallet Portfolio
-
-Get SOL balance, SPL token holdings with USD values, NFT count, and
-portfolio total. Tokens sorted by value, dust filtered, known tokens
-labeled by name (BONK, JUP, USDC, etc.).
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  wallet 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM
-```
-
-Flags:
-- `--limit N` — show top N tokens (default: 20)
-- `--all` — show all tokens, no dust filter, no limit
-- `--no-prices` — skip CoinGecko price lookups (faster, RPC-only)
-
-Output includes: SOL balance + USD value, token list with prices sorted
-by value, dust count, NFT summary, total portfolio value in USD.
-
-### 2. Transaction Details
-
-Inspect a full transaction by its base58 signature. Shows balance changes
-in both SOL and USD.
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  tx 5j7s8K...your_signature_here
-```
-
-Output: slot, timestamp, fee, status, balance changes (SOL + USD),
-program invocations.
-
-### 3. Token Info
-
-Get SPL token metadata, current price, market cap, supply, decimals,
-mint/freeze authorities, and top 5 holders.
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  token DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263
-```
-
-Output: name, symbol, decimals, supply, price, market cap, top 5
-holders with percentages.
-
-### 4. Recent Activity
-
-List recent transactions for an address (default: last 10, max: 25).
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  activity 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM --limit 25
-```
-
-### 5. NFT Portfolio
-
-List NFTs owned by a wallet (heuristic: SPL tokens with amount=1, decimals=0).
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  nft 9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM
-```
-
-Note: Compressed NFTs (cNFTs) are not detected by this heuristic.
-
-### 6. Whale Detector
-
-Scan the most recent block for large SOL transfers with USD values.
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py \
-  whales --min-sol 500
-```
-
-Note: scans the latest block only — point-in-time snapshot, not historical.
-
-### 7. Network Stats
-
-Live Solana network health: current slot, epoch, TPS, supply, validator
-version, SOL price, and market cap.
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats
-```
-
-### 8. Price Lookup
-
-Quick price check for any token by mint address or known symbol.
-
-```bash
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price BONK
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price JUP
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price SOL
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py price DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263
-```
-
-Known symbols: SOL, USDC, USDT, BONK, JUP, WETH, JTO, mSOL, stSOL,
-PYTH, HNT, RNDR, WEN, W, TNSR, DRIFT, bSOL, JLP, WIF, MEW, BOME, PENGU.

-
-## Pitfalls
-
-- **CoinGecko rate-limits** — free tier allows ~10-30 requests/minute.
-  Price lookups use 1 request per token. Wallets with many tokens may
-  not get prices for all of them. Use `--no-prices` for speed.
-- **Public RPC rate-limits** — Solana mainnet public RPC limits requests.
-  For production use, set SOLANA_RPC_URL to a private endpoint
-  (Helius, QuickNode, Triton).
-- **NFT detection is heuristic** — amount=1 + decimals=0. Compressed
-  NFTs (cNFTs) and Token-2022 NFTs won't appear.
-- **Whale detector scans latest block only** — not historical. Results
-  vary by the moment you query.
-- **Transaction history** — public RPC keeps ~2 days. Older transactions
-  may not be available.
-- **Token names** — ~25 well-known tokens are labeled by name. Others
-  show abbreviated mint addresses. Use the `token` command for full info.
-- **Retry on 429** — both RPC and CoinGecko calls retry up to 2 times
-  with exponential backoff on rate-limit errors.
-
----
-
-## Verification
-
-```bash
-# Should print current Solana slot, TPS, and SOL price
-python3 ~/.hermes/skills/blockchain/solana/scripts/solana_client.py stats

-description: Give the agent its own dedicated email inbox via AgentMail. Send, receive, and manage email autonomously using agent-owned email addresses (e.g. hermes-agent@agentmail.to).
-version: 1.0.0
-metadata:

-# AgentMail — Agent-Owned Email Inboxes
-
-## Requirements
-
-- **AgentMail API key** (required) — sign up at https://console.agentmail.to (free tier: 3 inboxes, 3,000 emails/month; paid plans from $20/mo)
-- Node.js 18+ (for the MCP server)
-
-## When to Use
-Use this skill when you need to:
-- Give the agent its own dedicated email address
-- Send emails autonomously on behalf of the agent
-- Receive and read incoming emails
-- Manage email threads and conversations
-- Sign up for services or authenticate via email
-- Communicate with other agents or humans via email
-
-This is NOT for reading the user's personal email (use himalaya or Gmail for that).
-AgentMail gives the agent its own identity and inbox.
-
-## Setup
-
-### 1. Get an API Key
-- Go to https://console.agentmail.to
-- Create an account and generate an API key (starts with `am_`)
-
-### 2. Configure MCP Server
-Add to `~/.hermes/config.yaml` (paste your actual key — MCP env vars are not expanded from .env):
-```yaml
-mcp_servers:
-  agentmail:
-    command: "npx"
-    args: ["-y", "agentmail-mcp"]
-    env:
-      AGENTMAIL_API_KEY: "am_your_key_here"
-```
-
-### 3. Restart Hermes
-```bash
-hermes
-```
-All 11 AgentMail tools are now available automatically.
-
-## Available Tools (via MCP)
-
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `list_inboxes` | List all agent inboxes |
-| `get_inbox` | Get details of a specific inbox |
-| `create_inbox` | Create a new inbox (gets a real email address) |
-| `delete_inbox` | Delete an inbox |
-| `list_threads` | List email threads in an inbox |
-| `get_thread` | Get a specific email thread |
-| `send_message` | Send a new email |
-| `reply_to_message` | Reply to an existing email |
-| `forward_message` | Forward an email |
-| `update_message` | Update message labels/status |
-| `get_attachment` | Download an email attachment |
-
-## Procedure
-
-### Create an inbox and send an email
-1. Create a dedicated inbox:
-   - Use `create_inbox` with a username (e.g. `hermes-agent`)
-   - The agent gets address: `hermes-agent@agentmail.to`
-2. Send an email:
-   - Use `send_message` with `inbox_id`, `to`, `subject`, `text`
-3. Check for replies:
-   - Use `list_threads` to see incoming conversations
-   - Use `get_thread` to read a specific thread
-
-### Check incoming email
-1. Use `list_inboxes` to find your inbox ID
-2. Use `list_threads` with the inbox ID to see conversations
-3. Use `get_thread` to read a thread and its messages
-
-### Reply to an email
-1. Get the thread with `get_thread`
-2. Use `reply_to_message` with the message ID and your reply text
-
-## Example Workflows
-
-**Sign up for a service:**
-```
-1. create_inbox (username: "signup-bot")
-2. Use the inbox address to register on the service
-3. list_threads to check for verification email
-4. get_thread to read the verification code
-```
-
-**Agent-to-human outreach:**
-```
-1. create_inbox (username: "hermes-outreach")
-2. send_message (to: user@example.com, subject: "Hello", text: "...")
-3. list_threads to check for replies
-```
-
-## Pitfalls
-- Free tier limited to 3 inboxes and 3,000 emails/month
-- Emails come from `@agentmail.to` domain on free tier (custom domains on paid plans)
-- Node.js (18+) is required for the MCP server (`npx -y agentmail-mcp`)
-- The `mcp` Python package must be installed: `pip install mcp`
-- Real-time inbound email (webhooks) requires a public server — use `list_threads` polling via cronjob instead for personal use
-
-## Verification
-After setup, test with:
-```
-hermes --toolsets mcp -q "Create an AgentMail inbox called test-agent and tell me its email address"
-```
-You should see the new inbox address returned.

-# QMD — Query Markup Documents
-
-Local, on-device search engine for personal knowledge bases. Indexes markdown
-notes, meeting transcripts, documentation, and any text-based files, then
-provides hybrid search combining keyword matching, semantic understanding, and
-LLM-powered reranking — all running locally with no cloud dependencies.
-
-Created by [Tobi Lütke](https://github.com/tobi/qmd). MIT licensed.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- User asks to search their notes, docs, knowledge base, or meeting transcripts
-- User wants to find something across a large collection of markdown/text files
-- User wants semantic search ("find notes about X concept") not just keyword grep
-- User has already set up qmd collections and wants to query them
-- User asks to set up a local knowledge base or document search system
-- Keywords: "search my notes", "find in my docs", "knowledge base", "qmd"
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-### Node.js >= 22 (required)
-
-```bash
-# Check version
-node --version  # must be >= 22
-
-# macOS — install or upgrade via Homebrew
-brew install node@22
-
-# Linux — use NodeSource or nvm
-curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash -
-sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
-# or with nvm:
-nvm install 22 && nvm use 22
-```
-
-### SQLite with Extension Support (macOS only)
-
-macOS system SQLite lacks extension loading. Install via Homebrew:
-
-```bash
-brew install sqlite
-```
-
-### Install qmd
-
-```bash
-npm install -g @tobilu/qmd
-# or with Bun:
-bun install -g @tobilu/qmd
-```
-
-First run auto-downloads 3 local GGUF models (~2GB total):
-
-| Model | Purpose | Size |
-|-------|---------|------|
-| embeddinggemma-300M-Q8_0 | Vector embeddings | ~300MB |
-| qwen3-reranker-0.6b-q8_0 | Result reranking | ~640MB |
-| qmd-query-expansion-1.7B | Query expansion | ~1.1GB |
-
-### Verify Installation
-
-```bash
-qmd --version
-qmd status
-```
-

-
-| Command | What It Does | Speed |
-|---------|-------------|-------|
-| `qmd search "query"` | BM25 keyword search (no models) | ~0.2s |
-| `qmd vsearch "query"` | Semantic vector search (1 model) | ~3s |
-| `qmd query "query"` | Hybrid + reranking (all 3 models) | ~2-3s warm, ~19s cold |
-| `qmd get <docid>` | Retrieve full document content | instant |
-| `qmd multi-get "glob"` | Retrieve multiple files | instant |
-| `qmd collection add <path> --name <n>` | Add a directory as a collection | instant |
-| `qmd context add <path> "description"` | Add context metadata to improve retrieval | instant |
-| `qmd embed` | Generate/update vector embeddings | varies |
-| `qmd status` | Show index health and collection info | instant |

-| `qmd mcp --http --daemon` | Start MCP server (HTTP, warm models) | persistent |
-
-## Setup Workflow
-
-### 1. Add Collections
-
-Point qmd at directories containing your documents:
-
-```bash
-# Add a notes directory
-qmd collection add ~/notes --name notes
-
-# Add project docs
-qmd collection add ~/projects/myproject/docs --name project-docs
-
-# Add meeting transcripts
-qmd collection add ~/meetings --name meetings
-
-# List all collections
-qmd collection list
-```
-
-### 2. Add Context Descriptions
-
-Context metadata helps the search engine understand what each collection
-contains. This significantly improves retrieval quality:
-
-```bash
-qmd context add qmd://notes "Personal notes, ideas, and journal entries"
-qmd context add qmd://project-docs "Technical documentation for the main project"
-qmd context add qmd://meetings "Meeting transcripts and action items from team syncs"
-```
-
-### 3. Generate Embeddings
-
-```bash
-qmd embed
-```
-
-This processes all documents in all collections and generates vector
-embeddings. Re-run after adding new documents or collections.
-
-### 4. Verify
-
-```bash
-qmd status   # shows index health, collection stats, model info
-```
-
-## Search Patterns
-
-### Fast Keyword Search (BM25)
-
-Best for: exact terms, code identifiers, names, known phrases.
-No models loaded — near-instant results.
-
-```bash
-qmd search "authentication middleware"
-qmd search "handleError async"
-```
-
-### Semantic Vector Search
-
-Best for: natural language questions, conceptual queries.
-Loads embedding model (~3s first query).
-
-```bash
-qmd vsearch "how does the rate limiter handle burst traffic"
-qmd vsearch "ideas for improving onboarding flow"
-```
-
-### Hybrid Search with Reranking (Best Quality)
-
-Best for: important queries where quality matters most.
-Uses all 3 models — query expansion, parallel BM25+vector, reranking.
-
-```bash
-qmd query "what decisions were made about the database migration"
-```
-
-### Structured Multi-Mode Queries
-
-Combine different search types in a single query for precision:
-
-```bash
-# BM25 for exact term + vector for concept
-qmd query $'lex: rate limiter\nvec: how does throttling work under load'
-
-# With query expansion
-qmd query $'expand: database migration plan\nlex: "schema change"'
-```
-
-### Query Syntax (lex/BM25 mode)
-
-| Syntax | Effect | Example |
-|--------|--------|---------|
-| `term` | Prefix match | `perf` matches "performance" |
-| `"phrase"` | Exact phrase | `"rate limiter"` |
-| `-term` | Exclude term | `performance -sports` |
-
-### HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings)
-
-For complex topics, write what you expect the answer to look like:
-
-```bash
-qmd query $'hyde: The migration plan involves three phases. First, we add the new columns without dropping the old ones. Then we backfill data. Finally we cut over and remove legacy columns.'
-```
-
-### Scoping to Collections
-
-```bash
-qmd search "query" --collection notes
-qmd query "query" --collection project-docs
-```
-
-### Output Formats
-
-```bash
-qmd search "query" --json        # JSON output (best for parsing)
-qmd search "query" --limit 5     # Limit results
-qmd get "#abc123"                # Get by document ID
-qmd get "path/to/file.md"       # Get by file path
-qmd get "file.md:50" -l 100     # Get specific line range
-qmd multi-get "journals/*.md" --json  # Batch retrieve by glob
-```
-
-## MCP Integration (Recommended)
-
-qmd exposes an MCP server that provides search tools directly to
-Hermes Agent via the native MCP client. This is the preferred
-integration — once configured, the agent gets qmd tools automatically
-without needing to load this skill.
-
-### Option A: Stdio Mode (Simple)
-
-Add to `~/.hermes/config.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-mcp_servers:
-  qmd:
-    command: "qmd"
-    args: ["mcp"]
-    timeout: 30
-    connect_timeout: 45
-```
-
-This registers tools: `mcp_qmd_search`, `mcp_qmd_vsearch`,
-`mcp_qmd_deep_search`, `mcp_qmd_get`, `mcp_qmd_status`.
-
-**Tradeoff:** Models load on first search call (~19s cold start),
-then stay warm for the session. Acceptable for occasional use.
-
-### Option B: HTTP Daemon Mode (Fast, Recommended for Heavy Use)
-
-Start the qmd daemon separately — it keeps models warm in memory:
-
-```bash
-# Start daemon (persists across agent restarts)
-qmd mcp --http --daemon
-
-# Runs on http://localhost:8181 by default
-```
-
-Then configure Hermes Agent to connect via HTTP:
-
-```yaml
-mcp_servers:
-  qmd:
-    url: "http://localhost:8181/mcp"
-    timeout: 30
-```
-
-**Tradeoff:** Uses ~2GB RAM while running, but every query is fast
-(~2-3s). Best for users who search frequently.
-
-### Keeping the Daemon Running
-
-#### macOS (launchd)
-
-```bash
-cat > ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qmd.daemon.plist << 'EOF'
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"

-  <key>ProgramArguments</key>
-  <array>
-    <string>qmd</string>
-    <string>mcp</string>
-    <string>--http</string>
-    <string>--daemon</string>
-  </array>
-  <key>RunAtLoad</key>

-  <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
-  <string>/tmp/qmd-daemon.log</string>
-</dict>
-</plist>
-EOF
-
-launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.qmd.daemon.plist
-```
-
-#### Linux (systemd user service)
-
-```bash
-mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
-
-cat > ~/.config/systemd/user/qmd-daemon.service << 'EOF'
-[Unit]
-Description=QMD MCP Daemon
-After=network.target
-
-[Service]
-ExecStart=qmd mcp --http --daemon
-Restart=on-failure
-RestartSec=10
-Environment=PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=default.target
-EOF
-
-systemctl --user daemon-reload
-systemctl --user enable --now qmd-daemon
-systemctl --user status qmd-daemon
-```
-
-### MCP Tools Reference
-
-Once connected, these tools are available as `mcp_qmd_*`:
-
-| MCP Tool | Maps To | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `mcp_qmd_search` | `qmd search` | BM25 keyword search |
-| `mcp_qmd_vsearch` | `qmd vsearch` | Semantic vector search |
-| `mcp_qmd_deep_search` | `qmd query` | Hybrid search + reranking |
-| `mcp_qmd_get` | `qmd get` | Retrieve document by ID or path |
-| `mcp_qmd_status` | `qmd status` | Index health and stats |
-
-The MCP tools accept structured JSON queries for multi-mode search:
-
-```json
-{
-  "searches": [
-    {"type": "lex", "query": "authentication middleware"},
-    {"type": "vec", "query": "how user login is verified"}
-  ],
-  "collections": ["project-docs"],
-  "limit": 10
-}
-```
-
-## CLI Usage (Without MCP)
-
-When MCP is not configured, use qmd directly via terminal:
-
-```
-terminal(command="qmd query 'what was decided about the API redesign' --json", timeout=30)
-```
-
-For setup and management tasks, always use terminal:
-
-```
-terminal(command="qmd collection add ~/Documents/notes --name notes")
-terminal(command="qmd context add qmd://notes 'Personal research notes and ideas'")
-terminal(command="qmd embed")
-terminal(command="qmd status")
-```
-
-## How the Search Pipeline Works
-
-Understanding the internals helps choose the right search mode:
-
-1. **Query Expansion** — A fine-tuned 1.7B model generates 2 alternative
-   queries. The original gets 2x weight in fusion.
-2. **Parallel Retrieval** — BM25 (SQLite FTS5) and vector search run
-   simultaneously across all query variants.
-3. **RRF Fusion** — Reciprocal Rank Fusion (k=60) merges results.
-   Top-rank bonus: #1 gets +0.05, #2-3 get +0.02.
-4. **LLM Reranking** — qwen3-reranker scores top 30 candidates (0.0-1.0).
-5. **Position-Aware Blending** — Ranks 1-3: 75% retrieval / 25% reranker.
-   Ranks 4-10: 60/40. Ranks 11+: 40/60 (trusts reranker more for long tail).
-
-**Smart Chunking:** Documents are split at natural break points (headings,
-code blocks, blank lines) targeting ~900 tokens with 15% overlap. Code
-blocks are never split mid-block.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Always add context descriptions** — `qmd context add` dramatically
-   improves retrieval accuracy. Describe what each collection contains.
-2. **Re-embed after adding documents** — `qmd embed` must be re-run when
-   new files are added to collections.
-3. **Use `qmd search` for speed** — when you need fast keyword lookup
-   (code identifiers, exact names), BM25 is instant and needs no models.
-4. **Use `qmd query` for quality** — when the question is conceptual or
-   the user needs the best possible results, use hybrid search.
-5. **Prefer MCP integration** — once configured, the agent gets native
-   tools without needing to load this skill each time.
-6. **Daemon mode for frequent users** — if the user searches their
-   knowledge base regularly, recommend the HTTP daemon setup.
-7. **First query in structured search gets 2x weight** — put the most
-   important/certain query first when combining lex and vec.
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### "Models downloading on first run"
-Normal — qmd auto-downloads ~2GB of GGUF models on first use.
-This is a one-time operation.
-
-### Cold start latency (~19s)
-This happens when models aren't loaded in memory. Solutions:
-- Use HTTP daemon mode (`qmd mcp --http --daemon`) to keep warm
-- Use `qmd search` (BM25 only) when models aren't needed
-- MCP stdio mode loads models on first search, stays warm for session
-
-### macOS: "unable to load extension"
-Install Homebrew SQLite: `brew install sqlite`
-Then ensure it's on PATH before system SQLite.
-
-### "No collections found"
-Run `qmd collection add <path> --name <name>` to add directories,
-then `qmd embed` to index them.
-
-### Embedding model override (CJK/multilingual)
-Set `QMD_EMBED_MODEL` environment variable for non-English content:
-```bash
-export QMD_EMBED_MODEL="your-multilingual-model"
-```
-
-## Data Storage
-
-- **Index & vectors:** `~/.cache/qmd/index.sqlite`
-- **Models:** Auto-downloaded to local cache on first run
-- **No cloud dependencies** — everything runs locally

-Free REST API that converts text to ASCII art. 250+ FIGlet fonts. Returns plain text directly — no parsing needed. Use this when pyfiglet is not installed or as a quick alternative.
-
-### Usage (via terminal curl)
-
-```bash
-# Basic text banner (default font)
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello+World"
-
-# With a specific font
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Slant"
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Doom"
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Star+Wars"
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=3-D"
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/ascii?text=Hello&font=Banner3"
-
-# List all available fonts (returns JSON array)
-curl -s "https://asciified.thelicato.io/api/v2/fonts"
-```
-
-### Tips
-
-- URL-encode spaces as `+` in the text parameter
-- The response is plain text ASCII art — no JSON wrapping, ready to display
-- Font names are case-sensitive; use the fonts endpoint to get exact names
-- Works from any terminal with curl — no Python or pip needed

-# Dogfood: Systematic Web Application QA Testing
-
-## Overview
-
-This skill guides you through systematic exploratory QA testing of web applications using the browser toolset. You will navigate the application, interact with elements, capture evidence of issues, and produce a structured bug report.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Browser toolset must be available (`browser_navigate`, `browser_snapshot`, `browser_click`, `browser_type`, `browser_vision`, `browser_console`, `browser_scroll`, `browser_back`, `browser_press`, `browser_close`)
-- A target URL and testing scope from the user
-
-## Inputs
-
-The user provides:
-1. **Target URL** — the entry point for testing
-2. **Scope** — what areas/features to focus on (or "full site" for comprehensive testing)
-3. **Output directory** (optional) — where to save screenshots and the report (default: `./dogfood-output`)
-
-## Workflow
-
-Follow this 5-phase systematic workflow:
-
-### Phase 1: Plan
-
-1. Create the output directory structure:
-   ```
-   {output_dir}/
-   ├── screenshots/       # Evidence screenshots
-   └── report.md          # Final report (generated in Phase 5)
-   ```
-2. Identify the testing scope based on user input.
-3. Build a rough sitemap by planning which pages and features to test:
-   - Landing/home page
-   - Navigation links (header, footer, sidebar)
-   - Key user flows (sign up, login, search, checkout, etc.)
-   - Forms and interactive elements
-   - Edge cases (empty states, error pages, 404s)
-
-### Phase 2: Explore
-
-For each page or feature in your plan:
-
-1. **Navigate** to the page:
-   ```
-   browser_navigate(url="https://example.com/page")
-   ```
-
-2. **Take a snapshot** to understand the DOM structure:
-   ```
-   browser_snapshot()
-   ```
-
-3. **Check the console** for JavaScript errors:
-   ```
-   browser_console(clear=true)
-   ```
-   Do this after every navigation and after every significant interaction. Silent JS errors are high-value findings.
-
-4. **Take an annotated screenshot** to visually assess the page and identify interactive elements:
-   ```
-   browser_vision(question="Describe the page layout, identify any visual issues, broken elements, or accessibility concerns", annotate=true)
-   ```
-   The `annotate=true` flag overlays numbered `[N]` labels on interactive elements. Each `[N]` maps to ref `@eN` for subsequent browser commands.
-
-5. **Test interactive elements** systematically:
-   - Click buttons and links: `browser_click(ref="@eN")`
-   - Fill forms: `browser_type(ref="@eN", text="test input")`
-   - Test keyboard navigation: `browser_press(key="Tab")`, `browser_press(key="Enter")`
-   - Scroll through content: `browser_scroll(direction="down")`
-   - Test form validation with invalid inputs
-   - Test empty submissions
-
-6. **After each interaction**, check for:
-   - Console errors: `browser_console()`
-   - Visual changes: `browser_vision(question="What changed after the interaction?")`
-   - Expected vs actual behavior
-
-### Phase 3: Collect Evidence
-
-For every issue found:
-
-1. **Take a screenshot** showing the issue:
-   ```
-   browser_vision(question="Capture and describe the issue visible on this page", annotate=false)
-   ```
-   Save the `screenshot_path` from the response — you will reference it in the report.
-
-2. **Record the details**:
-   - URL where the issue occurs
-   - Steps to reproduce
-   - Expected behavior
-   - Actual behavior
-   - Console errors (if any)
-   - Screenshot path
-
-3. **Classify the issue** using the issue taxonomy (see `references/issue-taxonomy.md`):
-   - Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
-   - Category: Functional / Visual / Accessibility / Console / UX / Content
-
-### Phase 4: Categorize
-
-1. Review all collected issues.
-2. De-duplicate — merge issues that are the same bug manifesting in different places.
-3. Assign final severity and category to each issue.
-4. Sort by severity (Critical first, then High, Medium, Low).
-5. Count issues by severity and category for the executive summary.
-
-### Phase 5: Report
-
-Generate the final report using the template at `templates/dogfood-report-template.md`.
-
-The report must include:
-1. **Executive summary** with total issue count, breakdown by severity, and testing scope
-2. **Per-issue sections** with:
-   - Issue number and title
-   - Severity and category badges
-   - URL where observed
-   - Description of the issue
-   - Steps to reproduce
-   - Expected vs actual behavior
-   - Screenshot references (use `MEDIA:<screenshot_path>` for inline images)
-   - Console errors if relevant
-3. **Summary table** of all issues
-4. **Testing notes** — what was tested, what was not, any blockers
-
-Save the report to `{output_dir}/report.md`.
-
-## Tools Reference
-
-| Tool | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `browser_navigate` | Go to a URL |
-| `browser_snapshot` | Get DOM text snapshot (accessibility tree) |
-| `browser_click` | Click an element by ref (`@eN`) or text |
-| `browser_type` | Type into an input field |
-| `browser_scroll` | Scroll up/down on the page |
-| `browser_back` | Go back in browser history |
-| `browser_press` | Press a keyboard key |
-| `browser_vision` | Screenshot + AI analysis; use `annotate=true` for element labels |
-| `browser_console` | Get JS console output and errors |
-| `browser_close` | Close the browser session |
-
-## Tips
-
-- **Always check `browser_console()` after navigating and after significant interactions.** Silent JS errors are among the most valuable findings.
-- **Use `annotate=true` with `browser_vision`** when you need to reason about interactive element positions or when the snapshot refs are unclear.
-- **Test with both valid and invalid inputs** — form validation bugs are common.
-- **Scroll through long pages** — content below the fold may have rendering issues.
-- **Test navigation flows** — click through multi-step processes end-to-end.
-- **Check responsive behavior** by noting any layout issues visible in screenshots.
-- **Don't forget edge cases**: empty states, very long text, special characters, rapid clicking.
-- When reporting screenshots to the user, include `MEDIA:<screenshot_path>` so they can see the evidence inline.

-# Issue Taxonomy
-
-Use this taxonomy to classify issues found during dogfood QA testing.
-
-## Severity Levels
-
-### Critical
-The issue makes a core feature completely unusable or causes data loss.
-
-**Examples:**
-- Application crashes or shows a blank white page
-- Form submission silently loses user data
-- Authentication is completely broken (can't log in at all)
-- Payment flow fails and charges the user without completing the order
-- Security vulnerability (e.g., XSS, exposed credentials in console)
-
-### High
-The issue significantly impairs functionality but a workaround may exist.
-
-**Examples:**
-- A key button does nothing when clicked (but refreshing fixes it)
-- Search returns no results for valid queries
-- Form validation rejects valid input
-- Page loads but critical content is missing or garbled
-- Navigation link leads to a 404 or wrong page
-- Uncaught JavaScript exceptions in the console on core pages
-
-### Medium
-The issue is noticeable and affects user experience but doesn't block core functionality.
-
-**Examples:**
-- Layout is misaligned or overlapping on certain screen sections
-- Images fail to load (broken image icons)
-- Slow performance (visible loading delays > 3 seconds)
-- Form field lacks proper validation feedback (no error message on bad input)
-- Console warnings that suggest deprecated or misconfigured features
-- Inconsistent styling between similar pages
-
-### Low
-Minor polish issues that don't affect functionality.
-
-**Examples:**
-- Typos or grammatical errors in text content
-- Minor spacing or alignment inconsistencies
-- Placeholder text left in production ("Lorem ipsum")
-- Favicon missing
-- Console info/debug messages that shouldn't be in production
-- Subtle color contrast issues that don't fail WCAG requirements
-
-## Categories
-
-### Functional
-Issues where features don't work as expected.
-
-- Buttons/links that don't respond
-- Forms that don't submit or submit incorrectly
-- Broken user flows (can't complete a multi-step process)
-- Incorrect data displayed
-- Features that work partially
-
-### Visual
-Issues with the visual presentation of the page.
-
-- Layout problems (overlapping elements, broken grids)
-- Broken images or missing media
-- Styling inconsistencies
-- Responsive design failures
-- Z-index issues (elements hidden behind others)
-- Text overflow or truncation
-
-### Accessibility
-Issues that prevent or hinder access for users with disabilities.
-
-- Missing alt text on meaningful images
-- Poor color contrast (fails WCAG AA)
-- Elements not reachable via keyboard navigation
-- Missing form labels or ARIA attributes
-- Focus indicators missing or unclear
-- Screen reader incompatible content
-
-### Console
-Issues detected through JavaScript console output.
-
-- Uncaught exceptions and unhandled promise rejections
-- Failed network requests (4xx, 5xx errors in console)
-- Deprecation warnings
-- CORS errors
-- Mixed content warnings (HTTP resources on HTTPS page)
-- Excessive console.log output left from development
-
-### UX (User Experience)
-Issues where functionality works but the experience is poor.
-
-- Confusing navigation or information architecture
-- Missing loading indicators (user doesn't know something is happening)
-- No feedback after user actions (e.g., button click with no visible result)
-- Inconsistent interaction patterns
-- Missing confirmation dialogs for destructive actions
-- Poor error messages that don't help the user recover
-
-### Content
-Issues with the text, media, or information on the page.
-
-- Typos and grammatical errors
-- Placeholder/dummy content in production
-- Outdated information
-- Missing content (empty sections)
-- Broken or dead links to external resources
-- Incorrect or misleading labels

-# Find Nearby — Local Place Discovery
-
-Find restaurants, cafes, bars, pharmacies, and other places near any location. Uses OpenStreetMap (free, no API keys). Works with:
-
-- **Coordinates** from Telegram location pins (latitude/longitude in conversation)
-- **Addresses** ("near 123 Main St, Springfield")
-- **Cities** ("restaurants in downtown Austin")
-- **Zip codes** ("pharmacies near 90210")
-- **Landmarks** ("cafes near Times Square")
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-# By coordinates (from Telegram location pin or user-provided)
-python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/find_nearby.py --lat <LAT> --lon <LON> --type restaurant --radius 1500
-
-# By address, city, or landmark (auto-geocoded)
-python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/find_nearby.py --near "Times Square, New York" --type cafe
-
-# Multiple place types
-python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/find_nearby.py --near "downtown austin" --type restaurant --type bar --limit 10
-
-# JSON output
-python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/find_nearby.py --near "90210" --type pharmacy --json
-```
-
-### Parameters
-
-| Flag | Description | Default |
-|------|-------------|---------|
-| `--lat`, `--lon` | Exact coordinates | — |
-| `--near` | Address, city, zip, or landmark (geocoded) | — |
-| `--type` | Place type (repeatable for multiple) | restaurant |
-| `--radius` | Search radius in meters | 1500 |
-| `--limit` | Max results | 15 |
-| `--json` | Machine-readable JSON output | off |
-
-### Common Place Types
-
-`restaurant`, `cafe`, `bar`, `pub`, `fast_food`, `pharmacy`, `hospital`, `bank`, `atm`, `fuel`, `parking`, `supermarket`, `convenience`, `hotel`
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. **Get the location.** Look for coordinates (`latitude: ... / longitude: ...`) from a Telegram pin, or ask the user for an address/city/zip.
-
-2. **Ask for preferences** (only if not already stated): place type, how far they're willing to go, any specifics (cuisine, "open now", etc.).
-
-3. **Run the script** with appropriate flags. Use `--json` if you need to process results programmatically.
-
-4. **Present results** with names, distances, and Google Maps links. If the user asked about hours or "open now," check the `hours` field in results — if missing or unclear, verify with `web_search`.
-
-5. **For directions**, use the `directions_url` from results, or construct: `https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=<LAT>,<LON>&destination=<LAT>,<LON>`
-
-## Tips
-
-- If results are sparse, widen the radius (1500 → 3000m)
-- For "open now" requests: check the `hours` field in results, cross-reference with `web_search` for accuracy since OSM hours aren't always complete
-- Zip codes alone can be ambiguous globally — prompt the user for country/state if results look wrong
-- The script uses OpenStreetMap data which is community-maintained; coverage varies by region

 All tools from all servers are registered and available simultaneously. Each server's tools are prefixed with its name to avoid collisions.
 
-## Sampling (Server-Initiated LLM Requests)
-
-Hermes supports MCP's `sampling/createMessage` capability — MCP servers can request LLM completions through the agent during tool execution. This enables agent-in-the-loop workflows (data analysis, content generation, decision-making).
-
-Sampling is **enabled by default**. Configure per server:
-
-```yaml
-mcp_servers:
-  my_server:
-    command: "npx"
-    args: ["-y", "my-mcp-server"]
-    sampling:
-      enabled: true           # default: true
-      model: "gemini-3-flash" # model override (optional)
-      max_tokens_cap: 4096    # max tokens per request
-      timeout: 30             # LLM call timeout (seconds)
-      max_rpm: 10             # max requests per minute
-      allowed_models: []      # model whitelist (empty = all)
-      max_tool_rounds: 5      # tool loop limit (0 = disable)
-      log_level: "info"       # audit verbosity
-```
-
-Servers can also include `tools` in sampling requests for multi-turn tool-augmented workflows. The `max_tool_rounds` config prevents infinite tool loops. Per-server audit metrics (requests, errors, tokens, tool use count) are tracked via `get_mcp_status()`.
-
-Disable sampling for untrusted servers with `sampling: { enabled: false }`.
-
 ## Notes
 
 - MCP tools are called synchronously from the agent's perspective but run asynchronously on a dedicated background event loop
