Teknium 38d3c49aaf refactor(skills): clean up bundled skill set + add environments: relevance gate (#39028)
* 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.

# Full Prompt Library
Extended constraint library beyond the core set in SKILL.md. Load these when the user wants more variety or a specific category.
## Communication & Connection
**Create a means of distribution:**
The project works when you can use what you made to give something to somebody else.
**Make a way to communicate:**
The project works when you can hold a conversation with someone else using what you created. Not chat — something weirder.
**Write a love letter:**
To a person, a programming language, a game, a place, a tool. On paper, in code, in music, in light. Mail it.
**Mail chess / Asynchronous games:**
Something turn-based played with no time limit. No requirement to be there at the same time. The game happens in the gaps.
**Twitch plays X:**
A group of people share control over something. Collective input, emergent behavior.
## Screens & Interfaces
**Something for your desktop:**
You spend a lot of time there. Spruce it up. A custom clock, a pet that lives in your terminal, a wallpaper that changes based on your git activity.
**One screen, two screen, old screen, new screen:**
Take something you associate with one screen and put it on a very different one. DOOM on a smart fridge. A spreadsheet on a watch. A terminal in a painting.
**Make a mirror:**
Something that reflects the viewer back at themselves. A website that shows your browsing history. A CLI that prints your git sins.
## Philosophy & Concept
**Code as koan, koan as code:**
What is the sound of one hand clapping? A program that answers a question it wasn't asked. A function that returns before it's called.
**The useless tree:**
Make something useless. Deliberately, completely, beautifully useless. No utility. No purpose. No point. That's the point.
**Artificial stupidity:**
Make fun of AI by showcasing its faults. Mistrain it. Lie to it. Build the opposite of what AI is supposed to be good at.
**"I use technology in order to hate it properly":**
Make something inspired by the tension between loving and hating your tools.
**The more things change, the more they stay the same:**
Reflect on time, difference, and similarity.
## Transformation
**Translate:**
Take something meant for one audience and make it understandable by another. A research paper as a children's book. An API as a board game. A song as an architecture diagram.
**I mean, I GUESS you could store something that way:**
The project works when you can save and open something. Store data in DNS caches. Encode a novel in emoji. Write a file system on top of something that isn't a file system.
**I mean, I GUESS those could be pixels:**
The project works when you can display an image. Render anything visual in a medium that wasn't meant for rendering.
## Identity & Reflection
**Make a self-portrait:**
Be yourself? Be fake? Be real? In code, in data, in sound, in a directory structure.
**Make a pun:**
The stupider the better. Physical, digital, linguistic, visual. The project IS the joke.
**Doors, walls, borders, barriers, boundaries:**
Things that intermediate two places: opening, closing, permeating, excluding, combining.
## Scale & Repetition
**Lists!:**
Itemizations, taxonomies, exhaustive recountings, iterations. This one. A list of list of lists.
**Did you mean *recursion*?**
Did you mean recursion?
**Animals:**
Lions, and tigers, and bears. Crab logic gates. Fish plays the stock market.
**Cats:**
Where would the internet be without them.
## Starting Points
**An idea that comes from a book:**
Read something. Make something inspired by it.
**Go to a museum:**
Project ensues.
**NPC loot:**
What do you drop when you die? What do you take on your journey? Build the item.
**Mythological objects and entities:**
Pandora's box, the ocarina of time, the palantir. Build the artifact.
**69:**
Nice. Make something with the joke being the number 69.
**Office Space printer scene:**
Capture the same energy. Channel the catharsis of destroying the thing that frustrates you.
**Borges week:**
Something inspired by the Argentine. The library of babel. The map that is the territory.
**Lights!:**
LED throwies, light installations, illuminated anything. Make something that glows.
