-"""OpenAI-compatible facade over Google AI Studio's native Gemini API.
-
-Hermes keeps ``api_mode='chat_completions'`` for the ``gemini`` provider so the
-main agent loop can keep using its existing OpenAI-shaped message flow.
-This adapter is the transport shim that converts those OpenAI-style
-``messages[]`` / ``tools[]`` requests into Gemini's native
-``models/{model}:generateContent`` schema and converts the responses back.
-
-Why this exists
----------------
-Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint has been brittle for Hermes's multi-turn
-agent/tool loop (auth churn, tool-call replay quirks, thought-signature
-requirements).  The native Gemini API is the canonical path and avoids the
-OpenAI-compat layer entirely.

-# disk-cleanup
-
-Auto-tracks and cleans up ephemeral files created during Hermes Agent
-sessions — test scripts, temp outputs, cron logs, stale chrome profiles.
-Scoped strictly to `$HERMES_HOME` and `/tmp/hermes-*`.
-
-Originally contributed by [@LVT382009](https://github.com/LVT382009) as a
-skill in PR #12212.  Ported to the plugin system so the behaviour runs
-automatically via `post_tool_call` and `on_session_end` hooks — the agent
-never needs to remember to call a tool.
-
-## How it works
-
-| Hook | Behaviour |
-|---|---|
-| `post_tool_call` | When `write_file` / `terminal` / `patch` creates a file matching `test_*`, `tmp_*`, or `*.test.*` inside `HERMES_HOME`, track it silently as `test` / `temp` / `cron-output`. |
-| `on_session_end` | If any test files were auto-tracked during this turn, run `quick` cleanup (no prompts). |
-
-Deletion rules (same as the original PR):
-
-| Category | Threshold | Confirmation |
-|---|---|---|
-| `test` | every session end | Never |
-| `temp` | >7 days since tracked | Never |
-| `cron-output` | >14 days since tracked | Never |
-| empty dirs under HERMES_HOME | always | Never |
-| `research` | >30 days, beyond 10 newest | Always (deep only) |
-| `chrome-profile` | >14 days since tracked | Always (deep only) |
-| files >500 MB | never auto | Always (deep only) |

-"""disk-cleanup plugin — auto-cleanup of ephemeral Hermes session files.
-
-Wires three behaviours:
-
-1. ``post_tool_call`` hook — inspects ``write_file`` and ``terminal``
-   tool results for newly-created paths matching test/temp patterns
-   under ``HERMES_HOME`` and tracks them silently.  Zero agent
-   compliance required.
-
-2. ``on_session_end`` hook — when any test files were auto-tracked
-   during the just-finished turn, runs :func:`disk_cleanup.quick` and
-   logs a single line to ``$HERMES_HOME/disk-cleanup/cleanup.log``.
-
-3. ``/disk-cleanup`` slash command — manual ``status``, ``dry-run``,
-   ``quick``, ``deep``, ``track``, ``forget``.
-
-Replaces PR #12212's skill-plus-script design: the agent no longer
-needs to remember to run commands.

-"""disk_cleanup — ephemeral file cleanup for Hermes Agent.
-
-Library module wrapping the deterministic cleanup rules written by
-@LVT382009 in PR #12212. The plugin ``__init__.py`` wires these
-functions into ``post_tool_call`` and ``on_session_end`` hooks so
-tracking and cleanup happen automatically — the agent never needs to
-call a tool or remember a skill.
-
-Rules:
-  - test files    → delete immediately at task end (age >= 0)
-  - temp files    → delete after 7 days
-  - cron-output   → delete after 14 days
-  - empty dirs    → always delete (under HERMES_HOME)
-  - research      → keep 10 newest, prompt for older (deep only)
-  - chrome-profile→ prompt after 14 days (deep only)
-  - >500 MB files → prompt always (deep only)
-
-Scope: strictly HERMES_HOME and /tmp/hermes-*
-Never touches: ~/.hermes/logs/ or any system directory.

-### What was ported
-
-**`scripts/palettes.py`** — the `PALETTES` dict containing 23 named RGB
-palettes (hardware and artistic). Values are reproduced verbatim from
-`scripts/pixelart.py` of pixel-art-studio.
-
-**`scripts/pixel_art_video.py`** — the 12 procedural animation init/draw pairs
-(`stars`, `fireflies`, `leaves`, `dust_motes`, `sparkles`, `rain`,
-`lightning`, `bubbles`, `embers`, `snowflakes`, `neon_pulse`, `heat_shimmer`)
-and the `SCENES` → layer mapping. Ported from `scripts/pixelart_video.py`
-with minor refactors:
-- Names prefixed with `_` for private helpers (`_px`, `_pixel_cross`)
-- `SCENE_ANIMATIONS` renamed to `SCENES` and restructured to hold layer
-  names (strings) instead of function-name strings resolved via `globals()`
-- `generate_video()` split: the Pollinations text-to-image call was removed
-  (Hermes uses its own `image_generate` + `pixel_art()` pipeline for base
-  frames). Only the overlay + ffmpeg encoding remains.
-- Frame directory is now a `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` instead of
-  hand-managed cleanup.
-- `ffmpeg` invocation switched from `os.system` to `subprocess.run(check=True)`
-  for safety.
-
-### What was NOT ported
-
-- Wu's Color Quantization (PIL's built-in `quantize` suffices)
-- Sobel edge-aware downsampling (requires scipy; not worth the dep)
-- Bayer / Atkinson dither (would need numpy reimplementation; kept scope tight)
-- Pollinations text-to-image generation (`pixelart_image.py`,
-  `generate_base()` in `pixelart_video.py`) — Hermes has `image_generate`

-# Pixel Art
-
-Convert any image into retro pixel art, then optionally animate it into a short
-MP4 or GIF with era-appropriate effects (rain, fireflies, snow, embers).
-
-Two scripts ship with this skill:
-
-- `scripts/pixel_art.py` — photo → pixel-art PNG (Floyd-Steinberg dithering)
-- `scripts/pixel_art_video.py` — pixel-art PNG → animated MP4 (+ optional GIF)
-
-Each is importable or runnable directly. Presets snap to hardware palettes
-when you want era-accurate colors (NES, Game Boy, PICO-8, etc.), or use
-adaptive N-color quantization for arcade/SNES-style looks.
-
-## When to Use
-
-- User wants retro pixel art from a source image
-- User asks for NES / Game Boy / PICO-8 / C64 / arcade / SNES styling
-- User wants a short looping animation (rain scene, night sky, snow, etc.)
-- Posters, album covers, social posts, sprites, characters, avatars
-
-## Workflow
-
-Before generating, confirm the style with the user. Different presets produce
-very different outputs and regenerating is costly.
-
-### Step 1 — Offer a style
-
-Call `clarify` with 4 representative presets. Pick the set based on what the
-user asked for — don't just dump all 14.
-
-Default menu when the user's intent is unclear:
-
-```python
-clarify(
-    question="Which pixel-art style do you want?",
-    choices=[
-        "arcade — bold, chunky 80s cabinet feel (16 colors, 8px)",
-        "nes — Nintendo 8-bit hardware palette (54 colors, 8px)",
-        "gameboy — 4-shade green Game Boy DMG",
-        "snes — cleaner 16-bit look (32 colors, 4px)",
-    ],
-)
-```
-
-When the user already named an era (e.g. "80s arcade", "Gameboy"), skip
-`clarify` and use the matching preset directly.
-
-### Step 2 — Offer animation (optional)
-
-If the user asked for a video/GIF, or the output might benefit from motion,
-ask which scene:
-
-```python
-clarify(
-    question="Want to animate it? Pick a scene or skip.",
-    choices=[
-        "night — stars + fireflies + leaves",
-        "urban — rain + neon pulse",
-        "snow — falling snowflakes",
-        "skip — just the image",
-    ],
-)
-```
-
-Do NOT call `clarify` more than twice in a row. One for style, one for scene if
-animation is on the table. If the user explicitly asked for a specific style
-and scene in their message, skip `clarify` entirely.
-
-### Step 3 — Generate
-
-Run `pixel_art()` first; if animation was requested, chain into
-`pixel_art_video()` on the result.
-
-## Preset Catalog
-
-| Preset | Era | Palette | Block | Best for |
-|--------|-----|---------|-------|----------|
-| `arcade` | 80s arcade | adaptive 16 | 8px | Bold posters, hero art |
-| `snes` | 16-bit | adaptive 32 | 4px | Characters, detailed scenes |
-| `nes` | 8-bit | NES (54) | 8px | True NES look |
-| `gameboy` | DMG handheld | 4 green shades | 8px | Monochrome Game Boy |
-| `gameboy_pocket` | Pocket handheld | 4 grey shades | 8px | Mono GB Pocket |
-| `pico8` | PICO-8 | 16 fixed | 6px | Fantasy-console look |
-| `c64` | Commodore 64 | 16 fixed | 8px | 8-bit home computer |
-| `apple2` | Apple II hi-res | 6 fixed | 10px | Extreme retro, 6 colors |
-| `teletext` | BBC Teletext | 8 pure | 10px | Chunky primary colors |
-| `mspaint` | Windows MS Paint | 24 fixed | 8px | Nostalgic desktop |
-| `mono_green` | CRT phosphor | 2 green | 6px | Terminal/CRT aesthetic |
-| `mono_amber` | CRT amber | 2 amber | 6px | Amber monitor look |
-| `neon` | Cyberpunk | 10 neons | 6px | Vaporwave/cyber |
-| `pastel` | Soft pastel | 10 pastels | 6px | Kawaii / gentle |
-
-Named palettes live in `scripts/palettes.py` (see `references/palettes.md` for
-the complete list — 28 named palettes total). Any preset can be overridden:
-
-```python
-pixel_art("in.png", "out.png", preset="snes", palette="PICO_8", block=6)
-```
-
-## Scene Catalog (for video)
-
-| Scene | Effects |
-|-------|---------|
-| `night` | Twinkling stars + fireflies + drifting leaves |
-| `dusk` | Fireflies + sparkles |
-| `tavern` | Dust motes + warm sparkles |
-| `indoor` | Dust motes |
-| `urban` | Rain + neon pulse |
-| `nature` | Leaves + fireflies |
-| `magic` | Sparkles + fireflies |
-| `storm` | Rain + lightning |
-| `underwater` | Bubbles + light sparkles |
-| `fire` | Embers + sparkles |
-| `snow` | Snowflakes + sparkles |
-| `desert` | Heat shimmer + dust |
-
-## Invocation Patterns
-
-### Python (import)
-
-```python
-import sys
-sys.path.insert(0, "/home/teknium/.hermes/skills/creative/pixel-art/scripts")
-from pixel_art import pixel_art
-from pixel_art_video import pixel_art_video
-
-# 1. Convert to pixel art
-pixel_art("/path/to/photo.jpg", "/tmp/pixel.png", preset="nes")
-
-# 2. Animate (optional)
-pixel_art_video(
-    "/tmp/pixel.png",
-    "/tmp/pixel.mp4",
-    scene="night",
-    duration=6,
-    fps=15,
-    seed=42,
-    export_gif=True,
-)
-```
-
-### CLI
-
-```bash
-cd /home/teknium/.hermes/skills/creative/pixel-art/scripts
-
-python pixel_art.py in.jpg out.png --preset gameboy
-python pixel_art.py in.jpg out.png --preset snes --palette PICO_8 --block 6
-
-python pixel_art_video.py out.png out.mp4 --scene night --duration 6 --gif
-```
-
-## Pipeline Rationale
-
-**Pixel conversion:**
-1. Boost contrast/color/sharpness (stronger for smaller palettes)
-2. Posterize to simplify tonal regions before quantization
-3. Downscale by `block` with `Image.NEAREST` (hard pixels, no interpolation)
-4. Quantize with Floyd-Steinberg dithering — against either an adaptive
-   N-color palette OR a named hardware palette
-5. Upscale back with `Image.NEAREST`
-
-Quantizing AFTER downscale keeps dithering aligned with the final pixel grid.
-Quantizing before would waste error-diffusion on detail that disappears.
-
-**Video overlay:**
-- Copies the base frame each tick (static background)
-- Overlays stateless-per-frame particle draws (one function per effect)
-- Encodes via ffmpeg `libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 18`
-- Optional GIF via `palettegen` + `paletteuse`
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- Python 3.9+
-- Pillow (`pip install Pillow`)
-- ffmpeg on PATH (only needed for video — Hermes installs package this)
-
-## Pitfalls
-
-- Pallet keys are case-sensitive (`"NES"`, `"PICO_8"`, `"GAMEBOY_ORIGINAL"`).
-- Very small sources (<100px wide) collapse under 8-10px blocks. Upscale the
-  source first if it's tiny.
-- Fractional `block` or `palette` will break quantization — keep them positive ints.
-- Animation particle counts are tuned for ~640x480 canvases. On very large
-  images you may want a second pass with a different seed for density.
-- `mono_green` / `mono_amber` force `color=0.0` (desaturate). If you override
-  and keep chroma, the 2-color palette can produce stripes on smooth regions.
-- `clarify` loop: call it at most twice per turn (style, then scene). Don't
-  pepper the user with more picks.
-
-## Verification
-
-- PNG is created at the output path
-- Clear square pixel blocks visible at the preset's block size
-- Color count matches preset (eyeball the image or run `Image.open(p).getcolors()`)
-- Video is a valid MP4 (`ffprobe` can open it) with non-zero size

-### Direct delivery (no agent, zero LLM cost)
-
-For use cases where you just want to push a notification through to a user's chat — no reasoning, no agent loop — add `--deliver-only`. The rendered `--prompt` template becomes the literal message body and is dispatched directly to the target adapter.
-
-Use this for:
-- External service push notifications (Supabase/Firebase webhooks → Telegram)
-- Monitoring alerts that should forward verbatim
-- Inter-agent pings where one agent is telling another agent's user something
-- Any webhook where an LLM round trip would be wasted effort
-
-```bash
-hermes webhook subscribe antenna-matches \
-  --deliver telegram \
-  --deliver-chat-id "123456789" \
-  --deliver-only \
-  --prompt "🎉 New match: {match.user_name} matched with you!" \
-  --description "Antenna match notifications"
-```
-
-The POST returns `200 OK` on successful delivery, `502` on target failure — so upstream services can retry intelligently. HMAC auth, rate limits, and idempotency still apply.
-
-Requires `--deliver` to be a real target (telegram, discord, slack, github_comment, etc.) — `--deliver log` is rejected because log-only direct delivery is pointless.
-
 ## Security
 
 - Each subscription gets an auto-generated HMAC-SHA256 secret (or provide your own with `--secret`)

+name: find-nearby

+
+# 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
