* refactor(skills): clean up bundled skill set + add environments: relevance gate Bundled skills cleanup pass plus a new offer-time relevance gate. Removals (redundant / dead): - spotify (covered by the spotify plugin's 7 native tools) - linear (covered by `hermes mcp install linear`) - kanban-codex-lane, debugging-hermes-tui-commands - empty category markers: diagramming, gifs, inference-sh, mlops/training, mlops/vector-databases - domain (stale orphan dup of optional/research/domain-intel) Bundled -> optional: - baoyu-article-illustrator, baoyu-comic, creative-ideation, pixel-art - dspy, subagent-driven-development - minecraft-modpack-server, pokemon-player - hermes-s6-container-supervision (-> optional/devops) Consolidation: - webhook-subscriptions + native-mcp folded into the hermes-agent skill as references/webhooks.md + references/native-mcp.md with SKILL.md pointers - writing-plans merged into plan (v2.0.0); related_skills + prose refs updated New: environments: frontmatter gate (agent/skill_utils.skill_matches_environment) - Offer-time relevance filter (kanban / docker / s6), parallel to platforms:. - Wired into the 3 OFFER surfaces only (prompt_builder skills index, skills_tool.list_skills, skill_commands slash discovery). - Explicit loads (skill_view, --skills preload) intentionally BYPASS it, so load-bearing force-loads like the kanban dispatcher's `--skills kanban-worker` always resolve. Verified via E2E. - kanban-orchestrator/kanban-worker tagged environments: [kanban]; hermes-s6-container-supervision tagged environments: [s6] + platforms: [linux]. Validation: 8/8 E2E gating assertions (incl force-load invariant); 442 targeted tests green (agent, skills_tool, skill_commands, kanban worker). * docs: regenerate skill catalogs + pages for the bundled cleanup Regenerated per-skill doc pages, catalogs, and sidebar to match the skill moves/removals in the parent commit. Moved skills' pages relocate bundled -> optional (history preserved); removed skills' pages deleted; edited skills' pages refreshed (hermes-agent now embeds the webhook + native-mcp reference pointers). zh-Hans i18n mirror: stale bundled pages and catalog rows for moved/removed skills pruned (new optional translations land via the translation pipeline). * test: drop regression test for removed kanban-codex-lane skill The kanban-codex-lane skill was removed in the bundled-skills cleanup; its dedicated regression test read the now-deleted SKILL.md and failed with FileNotFoundError on CI shard 6.

## Handling Age Variants
|
|
|
|
For biographies spanning many years, define age variants:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
## Alan Turing - Age Variants
|
|
|
|
### Young (1920s, age 10-18)
|
|
- Boyish features, round face
|
|
- School uniform (Sherborne)
|
|
- Curious, eager expression
|
|
|
|
### Adult (1930s-40s, age 25-35)
|
|
- Angular face, defined jaw
|
|
- Tweed jacket, rumpled appearance
|
|
- Intense, focused expression
|
|
|
|
### Later (1950s, age 40+)
|
|
- Slightly weathered
|
|
- More casual dress
|
|
- Thoughtful, sometimes melancholic
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
| Practice | Description |
|
|
|----------|-------------|
|
|
| Be specific | "Short dark wavy hair, parted left" not just "dark hair" |
|
|
| Use distinguishing features | Glasses, scars, accessories that identify character |
|
|
| Define color codes | Use specific color names or hex codes |
|
|
| Include age markers | Wrinkles, posture, clothing style matching era |
|
|
| Reference real people | For historical figures, note "based on 1940s photographs" |
|
|
|
|
## Why Character Reference Matters
|
|
|
|
Without unified character definition, AI generates inconsistent appearances. The reference sheet provides:
|
|
1. Visual anchors for consistent features
|
|
2. Color palettes for consistent coloring
|
|
3. Expression documentation for emotional portrayals
