-# Architecture Diagram Skill
-
-Generate professional, dark-themed technical architecture diagrams as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. No external tools, no API keys, no rendering libraries — just write the HTML file and open it in a browser.
-
-Based on [Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator](https://github.com/Cocoon-AI/architecture-diagram-generator) (MIT).
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. User describes their system architecture (components, connections, technologies)
-2. Generate the HTML file following the design system below
-3. Save with `write_file` to a `.html` file (e.g. `~/architecture-diagram.html`)
-4. User opens in any browser — works offline, no dependencies
-
-### Output Location
-
-Save diagrams to a user-specified path, or default to the current working directory:
-```
-./[project-name]-architecture.html
-```
-
-### Preview
-
-After saving, suggest the user open it:
-```bash
-# macOS
-open ./my-architecture.html
-# Linux
-xdg-open ./my-architecture.html
-```
-
-## Design System & Visual Language
-
-### Color Palette (Semantic Mapping)
-
-Use specific `rgba` fills and hex strokes to categorize components:
-
-| Component Type | Fill (rgba) | Stroke (Hex) |
-| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-| **Frontend** | `rgba(8, 51, 68, 0.4)` | `#22d3ee` (cyan-400) |
-| **Backend** | `rgba(6, 78, 59, 0.4)` | `#34d399` (emerald-400) |
-| **Database** | `rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.4)` | `#a78bfa` (violet-400) |
-| **AWS/Cloud** | `rgba(120, 53, 15, 0.3)` | `#fbbf24` (amber-400) |
-| **Security** | `rgba(136, 19, 55, 0.4)` | `#fb7185` (rose-400) |
-| **Message Bus** | `rgba(251, 146, 60, 0.3)` | `#fb923c` (orange-400) |
-| **External** | `rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.5)` | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) |
-
-### Typography & Background
-- **Font:** JetBrains Mono (Monospace), loaded from Google Fonts
-- **Sizes:** 12px (Names), 9px (Sublabels), 8px (Annotations), 7px (Tiny labels)
-- **Background:** Slate-950 (`#020617`) with a subtle 40px grid pattern
-
-```svg
-<!-- Background Grid Pattern -->
-<pattern id="grid" width="40" height="40" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
-  <path d="M 40 0 L 0 0 0 40" fill="none" stroke="#1e293b" stroke-width="0.5"/>
-</pattern>
-```
-
-## Technical Implementation Details
-
-### Component Rendering
-Components are rounded rectangles (`rx="6"`) with 1.5px strokes. To prevent arrows from showing through semi-transparent fills, use a **double-rect masking technique**:
-1. Draw an opaque background rect (`#0f172a`)
-2. Draw the semi-transparent styled rect on top
-
-### Connection Rules
-- **Z-Order:** Draw arrows *early* in the SVG (after the grid) so they render behind component boxes
-- **Arrowheads:** Defined via SVG markers
-- **Security Flows:** Use dashed lines in rose color (`#fb7185`)
-- **Boundaries:**
-  - *Security Groups:* Dashed (`4,4`), rose color
-  - *Regions:* Large dashed (`8,4`), amber color, `rx="12"`
-
-### Spacing & Layout Logic
-- **Standard Height:** 60px (Services); 80-120px (Large components)
-- **Vertical Gap:** Minimum 40px between components
-- **Message Buses:** Must be placed *in the gap* between services, not overlapping them
-- **Legend Placement:** **CRITICAL.** Must be placed outside all boundary boxes. Calculate the lowest Y-coordinate of all boundaries and place the legend at least 20px below it.
-
-## Document Structure
-
-The generated HTML file follows a four-part layout:
-1. **Header:** Title with a pulsing dot indicator and subtitle
-2. **Main SVG:** The diagram contained within a rounded border card
-3. **Summary Cards:** A grid of three cards below the diagram for high-level details
-4. **Footer:** Minimal metadata
-
-### Info Card Pattern
-```html
-<div class="card">
-  <div class="card-header">
-    <div class="card-dot cyan"></div>
-    <h3>Title</h3>
-  </div>
-  <ul>
-    <li>• Item one</li>
-    <li>• Item two</li>
-  </ul>
-</div>
-```
-
-## Output Requirements
-- **Single File:** One self-contained `.html` file
-- **No External Dependencies:** All CSS and SVG must be inline (except Google Fonts)
-- **No JavaScript:** Use pure CSS for any animations (like pulsing dots)
-- **Compatibility:** Must render correctly in any modern web browser
-
-## Template Reference
-
-Load the full HTML template for the exact structure, CSS, and SVG component examples:
-
-```
-skill_view(name="architecture-diagram", file_path="templates/template.html")
-```
-
-The template contains working examples of every component type (frontend, backend, database, cloud, security), arrow styles (standard, dashed, curved), security groups, region boundaries, and the legend — use it as your structural reference when generating diagrams.

-Port 8642 exposes the gateway's [OpenAI-compatible API server](./api-server.md) and health endpoint. It's optional if you only use chat platforms (Telegram, Discord, etc.), but required if you want the dashboard or external tools to reach the gateway.
-
-Opening any port on an internet facing machine is a security risk. You should not do it unless you understand the risks.
-
-## Running the dashboard
-
-The built-in web dashboard can run alongside the gateway as a separate container. 
-
-To run the dashboard as its own container, point it at the gateway's health endpoint so it can detect gateway status across containers:
-
-```sh
-docker run -d \
-  --name hermes-dashboard \
-  --restart unless-stopped \
-  -v ~/.hermes:/opt/data \
-  -p 9119:9119 \
-  -e GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL=http://$HOST_IP:8642 \
-  nousresearch/hermes-agent dashboard
-```
-
-Replace `$HOST_IP` with the IP address of the machine running the gateway container (e.g. `192.168.1.100`), or use a Docker network hostname if both containers share a network (see the [Compose example](#docker-compose-example) below).
-
-| Environment variable | Description | Default |
-|---------------------|-------------|---------|
-| `GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL` | Base URL of the gateway's API server, e.g. `http://gateway:8642` | *(unset — local PID check only)* |
-| `GATEWAY_HEALTH_TIMEOUT` | Health probe timeout in seconds | `3` |
-
-Without `GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL`, the dashboard falls back to local process detection — which only works when the gateway runs in the same container or on the same host.
