hermes --tui launches the native OpenTUI engine (Bun) when
HERMES_TUI_ENGINE=opentui (env) or display.tui_engine=opentui (config);
Ink stays the default and the shipping path is untouched.
- _resolve_tui_engine() (env > config > ink); refuses opentui on
Windows/Termux (no Bun) -> falls back to ink with a notice.
- _make_opentui_argv() -> [bun, src/entry.real.tsx] (no build step).
- _bun_bin() with HERMES_BUN override.
- Branch at top of _make_tui_argv BEFORE _ensure_tui_node (Bun-only host
must not bootstrap Node).
- Gate _launch_tui NODE_OPTIONS/--max-old-space-size on engine==ink (Bun
is JSC; the V8 flag errors/ignores).
Verified end-to-end via tmux: real hermes --tui -> Bun -> OpenTUI ->
real Python gateway streamed a real reply. No-flag default still ink.
* chore(skills): remove red-team skills (godmode, obliteratus) from bundled catalog
Anthropic's output classifier on claude-fable-5 (and likely other Claude
models served through it) intermittently returns empty content for sessions
whose system prompt advertises these skills. The bundled skills-catalog block
is injected into every session's system prompt, so the descriptions
- red-teaming/godmode 'Jailbreak LLMs: Parseltongue, GODMODE, ULTRAPLINIAN'
- mlops/inference/obliteratus 'OBLITERATUS: abliterate LLM refusals (diff-in-means)'
trip the classifier on EVERY session regardless of which skill is actually
loaded, killing unrelated legitimate work (PR review, codebase audits, etc.).
Measured impact (controlled, interleaved A/B, claude-fable-5 via OpenRouter,
prompts differing only by the ~204 chars of these catalog lines, N=20 each):
catalog lines present -> 19/20 (95%) blocked
catalog lines absent -> 5/20 (25%) blocked
Removing them ~quartered the block rate. Rewording the descriptions was not
enough; the skills must leave the bundled catalog.
- Delete skills/red-teaming/godmode and skills/mlops/inference/obliteratus
- Drop their generated doc pages + catalog/sidebar entries (EN + zh-Hans)
- Drop the godmode hand-written-page exception in generate-skill-docs.py
* chore(skills): relocate godmode + obliteratus to optional-skills
Rather than deleting outright, move both into optional-skills/ so they remain
installable via `hermes skills install` while leaving the always-injected
bundled catalog (which is what tripped Anthropic's classifier).
- optional-skills/security/godmode (was skills/red-teaming/godmode)
- optional-skills/mlops/obliteratus (was skills/mlops/inference/obliteratus)
- regenerate optional-skills catalog + sidebar entries
The locale switcher appeared broken because hardcoded markdown links
(`](/docs/X)`) got double-prefixed by Docusaurus to `/docs/<locale>/docs/X`
(404) in non-English locales, and the MDX hero `<a href>` on the index
page escaped locale routing entirely.
Changes:
- Rewrite 922 `](/docs/X)` -> `](/X)` across 166 docs files (strip trailing
.md too). Docusaurus prepends locale + baseUrl itself.
- docs/index.md -> index.mdx; hero "Get Started" anchor -> Docusaurus
<Link> so it stays inside the active locale.
- Drop `ko` locale entirely from docusaurus.config.ts + delete i18n/ko/
(4 stale auto-translated kanban pages, <2% coverage, misleading).
Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans; `build/zh-Hans/
index.html` has no /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... double-prefixed paths.
PR2 will translate the 335 English docs into i18n/zh-Hans/.
Generates a full dedicated Docusaurus page for every one of the 132 skills
(73 bundled + 59 optional) under website/docs/user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}/<category>/.
Each page carries the skill's description, metadata (version, author, license,
dependencies, platform gating, tags, related skills cross-linked to their own
pages), and the complete SKILL.md body that Hermes loads at runtime.
Previously the two catalog pages just listed skills with a one-line blurb and
no way to see what the skill actually did — users had to go read the source
repo. Now every skill has a browsable, searchable, cross-linked reference in
the docs.
- website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py — generator that reads skills/ and
optional-skills/, writes per-skill pages, regenerates both catalog indexes,
and rewrites the Skills section of sidebars.ts. Handles MDX escaping
(outside fenced code blocks: curly braces, unsafe HTML-ish tags) and
rewrites relative references/*.md links to point at the GitHub source.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md — regenerated; each row links to
the new dedicated page.
- website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md — same.
- website/sidebars.ts — Skills section now has Bundled / Optional subtrees
with one nested category per skill folder.
- .github/workflows/{docs-site-checks,deploy-site}.yml — run the generator
before docusaurus build so CI stays in sync with the source SKILL.md files.
Build verified locally with `npx docusaurus build`. Only remaining warnings
are pre-existing broken link/anchor issues in unrelated pages.
Major reorganization of the documentation site for better discoverability
and navigation. 94 pages across 8 top-level sections (was 5).
Structural changes:
- Promote Features from 3-level-deep subcategory to top-level section
with new Overview hub page categorizing all 26 feature pages
- Promote Messaging Platforms from User Guide subcategory to top-level
section, add platform comparison matrix (13 platforms x 7 features)
- Create new Integrations section with hub page, grouping MCP, ACP,
API Server, Honcho, Provider Routing, Fallback Providers
- Extract AI provider content (626 lines) from configuration.md into
dedicated integrations/providers.md — configuration.md drops from
1803 to 1178 lines
- Subcategorize Developer Guide into Architecture, Extending, Internals
- Rename "User Guide" to "Using Hermes" for top-level items
Orphan fixes (7 pages now reachable via sidebar):
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md added to Guides
- sms.md added to Messaging Platforms
- context-references.md added to Features > Core
- plugins.md added to Features > Core
- git-worktrees.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md added to Using Hermes
- checkpoints.md (30-line stub) deleted, superseded by
checkpoints-and-rollback.md (203 lines)
New files:
- integrations/index.md — Integrations hub page
- integrations/providers.md — AI provider setup (extracted)
- user-guide/features/overview.md — Features hub page
Broken link fixes:
- quickstart.md, faq.md: update context-length-detection anchors
- configuration.md: update checkpoints link
- overview.md: fix checkpoint link path
Docusaurus build verified clean (zero broken links/anchors).
