Enhance CLI with multi-platform messaging integration and configuration management

- Updated CLI to load configuration from user-specific and project-specific YAML files, prioritizing user settings.
- Introduced a new command `/platforms` to display the status of connected messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp).
- Implemented a gateway system for handling messaging interactions, including session management and delivery routing for cron job outputs.
- Added support for environment variable configuration and a dedicated gateway configuration file for advanced settings.
- Enhanced documentation in README.md and added a new messaging.md file to guide users on platform integrations and setup.
- Updated toolsets to include platform-specific capabilities for Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp, ensuring secure and tailored interactions.

+# Messaging Platform Integrations (Gateway)
+
+Hermes Agent can connect to messaging platforms like Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp to serve as a conversational AI assistant.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Set your bot token(s) in .env file
+echo 'TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_telegram_bot_token"' >> .env
+echo 'DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="your_discord_bot_token"' >> .env
+
+# 2. Test the gateway (foreground)
+./scripts/hermes-gateway run
+
+# 3. Install as a system service (runs in background)
+./scripts/hermes-gateway install
+
+# 4. Manage the service
+./scripts/hermes-gateway start
+./scripts/hermes-gateway stop
+./scripts/hermes-gateway restart
+./scripts/hermes-gateway status
+```
+
+**Quick test (without service install):**
+```bash
+python cli.py --gateway  # Runs in foreground, useful for debugging
+```

+
+## Session Management
+
+### Session Persistence
+
+Sessions persist across messages until they reset. The agent remembers your conversation context.
+
+### Reset Policies
+
+Sessions reset based on configurable policies:
+
+| Policy | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Daily | 4:00 AM | Reset at a specific hour each day |
+| Idle | 120 min | Reset after N minutes of inactivity |
+| Both | (combined) | Whichever triggers first |
+
+### Manual Reset
+
+Send `/new` or `/reset` as a message to start fresh.
+
+### Per-Platform Overrides
+
+Configure different reset policies per platform:
+
+```json
+{
+  "reset_by_platform": {
+    "telegram": { "mode": "idle", "idle_minutes": 240 },
+    "discord": { "mode": "idle", "idle_minutes": 60 }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Platform Setup
+
+### Telegram
+
+1. **Create a bot** via [@BotFather](https://t.me/BotFather)
+2. **Get your token** (looks like `123456789:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz`)
+3. **Set environment variable:**
+   ```bash
+   export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+   ```
+4. **Optional: Set home channel** for cron job delivery:
+   ```bash
+   export TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL="-1001234567890"
+   export TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME="My Notes"
+   ```
+
+**Requirements:**
+```bash
+pip install python-telegram-bot>=20.0
+```
+
+### Discord
+
+1. **Create an application** at [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications)
+2. **Create a bot** under your application
+3. **Get the bot token**
+4. **Enable required intents:**
+   - Message Content Intent
+   - Server Members Intent (optional)
+5. **Invite to your server** using OAuth2 URL generator (scopes: `bot`, `applications.commands`)
+6. **Set environment variable:**
+   ```bash
+   export DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+   ```
+7. **Optional: Set home channel:**
+   ```bash
+   export DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL="123456789012345678"
+   export DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME="#bot-updates"
+   ```
+
+**Requirements:**
+```bash
+pip install discord.py>=2.0
+```
+
+### WhatsApp
+
+WhatsApp integration is more complex due to the lack of a simple bot API.
+
+**Options:**
+1. **WhatsApp Business API** (requires Meta verification)
+2. **whatsapp-web.js** via Node.js bridge (for personal accounts)
+
+**Bridge Setup:**
+1. Install Node.js
+2. Set up the bridge script (see `scripts/whatsapp-bridge/` for reference)
+3. Configure in gateway:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "platforms": {
+       "whatsapp": {
+         "enabled": true,
+         "extra": {
+           "bridge_script": "/path/to/bridge.js",
+           "bridge_port": 3000
+         }
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Configuration
+
+There are **three ways** to configure the gateway (in order of precedence):
+
+### 1. Environment Variables (`.env` file) - Recommended for Quick Setup
+
+Add to your `.env` file in the project root:
+
+```bash
+# =============================================================================
+# MESSAGING PLATFORM TOKENS
+# =============================================================================
+
+# Telegram - get from @BotFather on Telegram
+TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your_telegram_bot_token
+
+# Optional: Default channel for cron job delivery
+TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL=-1001234567890
+TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME="My Notes"
+
+# Discord - get from Discord Developer Portal
+DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
+
+# Optional: Default channel for cron job delivery
+DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL=123456789012345678
+DISCORD_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME="#bot-updates"
+
+# WhatsApp - requires Node.js bridge setup
+WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true
+
+# =============================================================================
+# SESSION SETTINGS
+# =============================================================================
+
+# Reset sessions after N minutes of inactivity (default: 120)
+SESSION_IDLE_MINUTES=120
+
+# Daily reset hour in 24h format (default: 4 = 4am)
+SESSION_RESET_HOUR=4
+```
+
+### 2. Gateway Config File (`~/.hermes/gateway.json`) - Full Control
+
+For advanced configuration, create `~/.hermes/gateway.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "platforms": {
+    "telegram": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "token": "your_telegram_token",
+      "home_channel": {
+        "platform": "telegram",
+        "chat_id": "-1001234567890",
+        "name": "My Notes"
+      }
+    },
+    "discord": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "token": "your_discord_token",
+      "home_channel": {
+        "platform": "discord",
+        "chat_id": "123456789012345678",
+        "name": "#bot-updates"
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "default_reset_policy": {
+    "mode": "both",
+    "at_hour": 4,
+    "idle_minutes": 120
+  },
+  "reset_by_platform": {
+    "discord": {
+      "mode": "idle",
+      "idle_minutes": 60
+    }
+  },
+  "always_log_local": true
+}
+```
+
+## Platform-Specific Toolsets
+
+Each platform has its own toolset for security:
+
+| Platform | Toolset | Capabilities |
+|----------|---------|--------------|
+| CLI | `hermes-cli` | Full access (terminal, browser, etc.) |
+| Telegram | `hermes-telegram` | Web, vision, skills, cronjobs |
+| Discord | `hermes-discord` | Web search, vision, skills, cronjobs |
+| WhatsApp | `hermes-whatsapp` | Web, terminal, vision, skills, cronjobs |
+
+Discord has a more limited toolset because it often runs in public servers.
+
+## Cron Job Delivery
+
+When scheduling cron jobs, you can specify where the output should be delivered:
+
+```
+User: "Remind me to check the server in 30 minutes"
+
+Agent uses: schedule_cronjob(
+  prompt="Check server status...",
+  schedule="30m",
+  deliver="origin"  # Back to this chat
+)
+```
+
+### Delivery Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `"origin"` | Back to where the job was created |
+| `"local"` | Save to local files only |
+| `"telegram"` | Telegram home channel |
+| `"discord"` | Discord home channel |
+| `"telegram:123456"` | Specific Telegram chat |
+
+## Dynamic Context Injection
+
+The agent knows where it is via injected context:
+
+```
+## Current Session Context
+
+**Source:** Telegram (group: Dev Team, ID: -1001234567890)
+**Connected Platforms:** local, telegram, discord
+
+**Home Channels:**
+  - telegram: My Notes (ID: -1001234567890)
+  - discord: #bot-updates (ID: 123456789012345678)
+
+**Delivery options for scheduled tasks:**

+
+## CLI Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/platforms` | Show gateway configuration and status |
+| `--gateway` | Start the gateway (CLI flag) |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "python-telegram-bot not installed"
+
+```bash
+pip install python-telegram-bot>=20.0
+```
+
+### "discord.py not installed"
+
+```bash
+pip install discord.py>=2.0
+```
+
+### "No platforms connected"
+
+1. Check your environment variables are set
+2. Check your tokens are valid
+3. Try `/platforms` to see configuration status
+
+### Session not persisting
+
+1. Check `~/.hermes/sessions/` exists
+2. Check session policies aren't too aggressive
+3. Verify no errors in gateway logs
+
+## Adding a New Platform
+
+To add a new messaging platform:
+
+### 1. Create the adapter
+
+Create `gateway/platforms/your_platform.py`:
+
+```python
+from gateway.platforms.base import BasePlatformAdapter, MessageEvent, SendResult
+from gateway.config import Platform, PlatformConfig
+
+class YourPlatformAdapter(BasePlatformAdapter):
+    def __init__(self, config: PlatformConfig):
+        super().__init__(config, Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM)
+    
+    async def connect(self) -> bool:
+        # Connect to the platform
+        ...
+    
+    async def disconnect(self) -> None:
+        # Disconnect
+        ...
+    
+    async def send(self, chat_id: str, content: str, ...) -> SendResult:
+        # Send a message
+        ...
+    
+    async def get_chat_info(self, chat_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
+        # Get chat information
+        ...
+```
+
+### 2. Register the platform
+
+Add to `gateway/config.py`:
+
+```python
+class Platform(Enum):
+    # ... existing ...
+    YOUR_PLATFORM = "your_platform"
+```
+
+### 3. Add to gateway runner
+
+Update `gateway/run.py` `_create_adapter()`:
+
+```python
+elif platform == Platform.YOUR_PLATFORM:
+    from gateway.platforms.your_platform import YourPlatformAdapter
+    return YourPlatformAdapter(config)
+```
+
+### 4. Create a toolset (optional)
+
+Add to `toolsets.py`:
+
+```python
+"hermes-your-platform": {
+    "description": "Your platform toolset",
+    "tools": [...],
+    "includes": []
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Configure
+
+Add environment variables to `.env`:
+
+```bash
+YOUR_PLATFORM_TOKEN=...
+YOUR_PLATFORM_HOME_CHANNEL=...
+```
+
+## Service Management
+
+### Linux (systemd)
+
+```bash
+# Install as user service
+./scripts/hermes-gateway install
+
+# Manage
+systemctl --user start hermes-gateway
+systemctl --user stop hermes-gateway
+systemctl --user restart hermes-gateway
+systemctl --user status hermes-gateway
+
+# View logs
+journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway -f
+
+# Enable lingering (keeps running after logout)
+sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER
+```
+
+### macOS (launchd)
+
+```bash
+# Install
+./scripts/hermes-gateway install
+
+# Manage
+launchctl start ai.hermes.gateway
+launchctl stop ai.hermes.gateway
+
+# View logs
+tail -f ~/.hermes/logs/gateway.log
+```
+
+### Manual (any platform)
+
+```bash
+# Run in foreground (for testing/debugging)
+./scripts/hermes-gateway run
+
+# Or via CLI (also foreground)
+python cli.py --gateway
+```

+```
+
+This installer will:
+- Clone the repository to `~/.hermes-agent`
+- Create a virtual environment and install dependencies
+- Set up the `hermes` command in your PATH
+- Run an interactive setup wizard to configure API keys
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+If you prefer to install manually:
+
+```bash
+# Clone with submodules
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Agent.git
+cd Hermes-Agent
+
+# Run the setup script
+./setup-hermes.sh
+```
+
+Or step-by-step:
+
+```bash
+# Create and activate virtual environment
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install in editable mode with all extras
+pip install -e ".[all]"
+
+# Or install dependencies manually
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install -e ./mini-swe-agent
+
+# Copy and configure environment
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with your API keys
+
+# Run the setup wizard
+hermes setup
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Once installed, the `hermes` command is your main entry point:
+
+```bash
+hermes                    # Interactive chat (default)
+hermes chat               # Same as above
+hermes chat -q "Hello"    # Single query, then exit
+hermes setup              # Configure API keys and settings
+hermes status             # Show configuration status
+hermes doctor             # Diagnose issues
+hermes gateway            # Start messaging gateway (Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp)
+hermes cron daemon        # Run cron job scheduler
+hermes version            # Show version info
+```
+
+**Legacy `./hermes` script:**
+```bash
+# The old CLI script still works:
+./hermes
+
+# Or with options:
+./hermes --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4" --toolsets "web,terminal"
+```
+
+The CLI provides:
+- Animated spinners during thinking and tool execution
+- Kawaii-style feedback messages
+- `/commands` for configuration, history, and session management
+- Customizable personalities (`/personality kawaii`, `/personality pirate`, etc.)
+- Persistent configuration via `cli-config.yaml`
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Copy the example environment file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env and add your API keys
+nano .env  # or use your preferred editor
+```
+
+**Required API Keys:**
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` - LLM access via OpenRouter (get at: https://openrouter.ai/keys)
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` - Web tools (get at: https://firecrawl.dev/)
+- `NOUS_API_KEY` - Vision & reasoning tools (get at: https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/)
+- `FAL_KEY` - Image generation (get at: https://fal.ai/)
+
+**Optional API Keys (for specific features):**
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` - Browser automation (get at: https://browserbase.com/)
+- `BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID` - From Browserbase dashboard
+- `MORPH_API_KEY` - For legacy Hecate terminal backend (get at: https://morph.so/)
+
+### 4. Configure Terminal Backend
+
+The terminal tool uses **mini-swe-agent** environments. Configure in `.env` or `cli-config.yaml`:
+
+```bash
+# Backend: "local", "docker", "singularity", "modal", or "ssh"
+TERMINAL_ENV=local          # Default: runs on host machine (no isolation)
+TERMINAL_ENV=ssh            # Remote execution via SSH (agent code stays local)
+TERMINAL_ENV=singularity    # Recommended for HPC: Apptainer/Singularity containers
+TERMINAL_ENV=docker         # Isolated Docker containers
+TERMINAL_ENV=modal          # Cloud execution via Modal
+
+# Container image (for docker/singularity/modal backends)
+TERMINAL_DOCKER_IMAGE=python:3.11-slim
+TERMINAL_SINGULARITY_IMAGE=docker://python:3.11-slim
+TERMINAL_TIMEOUT=60
+
+# SSH backend (for ssh)
+TERMINAL_SSH_HOST=my-server.example.com
+TERMINAL_SSH_USER=myuser
+TERMINAL_SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/id_rsa  # Optional, uses ssh-agent if not set
+```
+
+**Backend Requirements:**
+- **local**: No extra setup (runs directly on your machine, no isolation)
+- **ssh**: SSH access to remote machine (great for sandboxing - agent can't touch its own code)
+- **singularity**: Requires Apptainer or Singularity installed (common on HPC clusters, no root needed)
+- **docker**: Requires Docker installed and user in `docker` group
+- **modal**: Requires Modal account (see setup below)
+
+### Singularity/Apptainer Setup (Recommended for HPC)
+
+Singularity/Apptainer provides rootless container execution, ideal for HPC clusters:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify Apptainer is installed
+apptainer --version  # or: singularity --version
+
+# 2. Set up cache directories (important for parallel workers)
+# Use /scratch if available (HPC), otherwise /tmp
+export APPTAINER_CACHEDIR=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer
+export APPTAINER_TMPDIR=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer/tmp
+mkdir -p "$APPTAINER_CACHEDIR" "$APPTAINER_TMPDIR"
+
+# 3. Pre-build SIF image (recommended for parallel batch processing)
+# This avoids race conditions when multiple workers start simultaneously
+apptainer build $APPTAINER_CACHEDIR/python-nodejs.sif docker://nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20
+
+# 4. Configure .env to use the local SIF
+TERMINAL_ENV=singularity
+TERMINAL_SINGULARITY_IMAGE=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer/python-nodejs.sif
+```
+
+**Tip:** The batch scripts in `configs/` automatically handle SIF pre-building if `/scratch` is available.
+
+### Modal Cloud Backend Setup
+
+[Modal](https://modal.com) provides serverless cloud compute for running sandboxed environments at scale.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install Modal and dependencies
+pip install modal boto3
+
+# 2. Authenticate with Modal (opens browser)
+modal setup
+
+# 3. Set terminal backend to modal in .env
+TERMINAL_ENV=modal
+```
+
+Modal uses CLI-based authentication (stored in `~/.modal/`), so no API key is needed in `.env`. After running `modal setup`, commands will automatically execute in Modal's cloud sandboxes.
+
+### Browser Tools Setup
+
+Browser tools enable the agent to navigate websites, fill forms, click buttons, and extract content. They use [agent-browser](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) CLI with [Browserbase](https://browserbase.com) cloud execution.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install Node.js (if not already installed)
+# Use nvm (recommended) or your package manager
+
+# 2. Install agent-browser CLI (choose one option):
+npm install -g agent-browser     # Option A: Global install (recommended)
+npm install                      # Option B: Local install (uses npx fallback)
+
+# 3. Get Browserbase credentials
+# Sign up at https://browserbase.com/ and get your:
+# - API Key (from Settings → API Keys)
+# - Project ID (from your project dashboard)
+
+# 4. Add to your .env file:
+BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here
+```
+
+**Available Browser Tools:**
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `browser_navigate` | Navigate to a URL |
+| `browser_snapshot` | Get text-based page snapshot with element refs |
+| `browser_click` | Click an element by ref (e.g., `@e5`) |
+| `browser_type` | Type text into an input field |
+| `browser_scroll` | Scroll up or down |
+| `browser_back` | Go back in browser history |
+| `browser_press` | Press a keyboard key (Enter, Tab, etc.) |
+| `browser_close` | Close the browser session |
+| `browser_get_images` | Get list of images on the page |
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```bash
+# Use browser tools with web search and vision
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "Go to amazon.com and find the price of the latest Kindle" \
+  --enabled_toolsets=browser,web,vision
+
+# Use browser-focused distribution
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=browser_tasks.jsonl \
+  --distribution=browser_use \
+  --run_name=browser_run
+```
+
+See `.env.example` for all available configuration options including debug settings.
+
+### Skills Tools
+
+Skills are on-demand knowledge documents the agent can load when needed. They follow a **progressive disclosure** pattern to minimize token usage:
+
+```
+skills/
+├── mlops/                    # Category folder
+│   ├── axolotl/             # Skill folder
+│   │   ├── SKILL.md         # Main instructions (required)
+│   │   ├── references/      # Additional docs, API specs
+│   │   └── templates/       # Output formats, configs
+│   └── vllm/
+│       └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+**Available Skills Tools:**
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `skills_categories` | List available skill categories (~50 tokens) |
+| `skills_list` | List skills with name + description (~3k tokens for 40 skills) |
+| `skill_view` | Load full skill content, tags, and linked files |
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```bash
+# Use skills tools
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "What skills do you have for fine-tuning? Show me the axolotl skill." \
+  --enabled_toolsets=skills
+```
+
+**Creating Skills:**
+
+Skills use YAML frontmatter for metadata:
+```yaml
+---
+name: my-skill
+description: Brief description shown in skills_list
+tags: [tag1, tag2]
+related_skills: [other-skill]
+version: 1.0.0
+---
+# Skill Content
+
+Instructions, examples, and guidelines here...
+```
+
+Skills can include:
+- `references/` - Additional documentation, API specs, examples
+- `templates/` - Output formats, config files, boilerplate code
+- `scripts/` - Executable helpers (Python, shell scripts)
+
+## Session Logging
+
+Every conversation is automatically logged to `logs/` for debugging and inspection:
+
+```
+logs/
+├── session_20260201_143052_a1b2c3.json
+├── session_20260201_150217_d4e5f6.json
+└── ...
+```
+
+**Log Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "session_id": "20260201_143052_a1b2c3",
+  "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4",
+  "session_start": "2026-02-01T14:30:52.123456",
+  "last_updated": "2026-02-01T14:35:12.789012",
+  "message_count": 8,
+  "conversations": [
+    {"from": "system", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "human", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "gpt", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "tool", "value": "..."}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- **Automatic**: Logs are created and updated automatically after each conversation turn
+- **Session ID in Banner**: The CLI displays the session ID in the welcome banner
+- **Trajectory Format**: Uses the same format as batch processing for consistency
+- **Git Ignored**: `logs/` is in `.gitignore` so logs aren't committed
+
+## Context Compression
+
+Long conversations can exceed the model's context limit. Hermes Agent automatically compresses context when approaching the limit:
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Tracks actual token usage from API responses (`usage.prompt_tokens`)
+2. When tokens reach 85% of model's context limit, triggers compression
+3. Protects first 3 turns (system prompt, initial request, first response)
+4. Protects last 4 turns (recent context is most relevant)
+5. Summarizes middle turns using a fast/cheap model (Gemini Flash)
+6. Inserts summary as a user message, conversation continues seamlessly
+
+**Configuration (`cli-config.yaml`):**
+```yaml
+compression:
+  enabled: true                    # Enable auto-compression (default)
+  threshold: 0.85                  # Compress at 85% of context limit
+  summary_model: "google/gemini-2.0-flash-001"
+```
+
+**Or via environment variables:**
+```bash
+CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_ENABLED=true
+CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD=0.85
+CONTEXT_COMPRESSION_MODEL=google/gemini-2.0-flash-001
+```
+
+**When compression triggers, you'll see:**
+```
+📦 Context compression triggered (170,000 tokens ≥ 170,000 threshold)
+   📊 Model context limit: 200,000 tokens (85% = 170,000)
+   🗜️  Summarizing turns 4-15 (12 turns)
+   ✅ Compressed: 20 → 9 messages (~45,000 tokens saved)
+```
+
+## Scheduled Tasks (Cron Jobs)
+
+Hermes Agent can schedule automated tasks to run in the future - either one-time reminders or recurring jobs.
+
+### CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# List scheduled jobs
+/cron
+
+# Add a one-shot reminder (runs once in 30 minutes)
+/cron add 30m Remind me to check the build status
+
+# Add a recurring job (every 2 hours)
+/cron add "every 2h" Check server status at 192.168.1.100 and report any issues
+
+# Add a cron expression (daily at 9am)
+/cron add "0 9 * * *" Generate a morning briefing summarizing GitHub notifications
+
+# Remove a job
+/cron remove abc123def456
+```
+
+### Agent Self-Scheduling
+
+The agent can also schedule its own follow-up tasks using tools:
+
+```python
+# Available when using hermes-cli toolset (default for CLI)
+schedule_cronjob(prompt="...", schedule="30m", repeat=1)  # One-shot
+schedule_cronjob(prompt="...", schedule="every 2h")       # Recurring
+list_cronjobs()                                            # View all jobs
+remove_cronjob(job_id="...")                              # Cancel a job
+```
+
+**⚠️ Important:** Cronjobs run in **isolated sessions with NO prior context**. The prompt must be completely self-contained with all necessary information (file paths, URLs, server addresses, etc.). The future agent will not remember anything from the current conversation.
+
+### Schedule Formats
+
+| Format | Example | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Duration | `30m`, `2h`, `1d` | One-shot delay from now |
+| Interval | `every 30m`, `every 2h` | Recurring at fixed intervals |
+| Cron | `0 9 * * *` | Cron expression (requires `croniter`) |
+| Timestamp | `2026-02-03T14:00` | One-shot at specific time |
+
+### Repeat Options
+
+| repeat | Behavior |
+|--------|----------|
+| (omitted) | One-shot schedules run once; intervals/cron run forever |
+| `1` | Run once then auto-delete |
+| `N` | Run N times then auto-delete |
+
+### Running the Cron Daemon
+
+Jobs are stored in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` and executed by a scheduler:
+
+```bash
+# Option 1: Built-in daemon (checks every 60 seconds)
+python cli.py --cron-daemon
+
+# Option 2: System cron integration (run once per minute)
+# Add to crontab: crontab -e
+*/1 * * * * cd ~/hermes-agent && python cli.py --cron-tick-once >> ~/.hermes/cron/cron.log 2>&1
+```
+
+### Job Output
+
+Job outputs are saved to `~/.hermes/cron/output/{job_id}/{timestamp}.md` for review.
+
+## Messaging Gateway (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp)
+
+Connect Hermes Agent to messaging platforms so you can chat from anywhere.
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Add your bot token to .env
+echo 'TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_token"' >> .env
+
+# 2. Test the gateway (foreground)
+./scripts/hermes-gateway run
+
+# 3. Install as a background service
+./scripts/hermes-gateway install
+
+# 4. Manage the service
+./scripts/hermes-gateway start   # Start
+./scripts/hermes-gateway stop    # Stop
+./scripts/hermes-gateway status  # Check status
+```

+- Reset policies: daily (4am), idle (2 hours), or both
+- Manual reset: send `/new` or `/reset`
+
+### Cron Job Delivery
+
+Schedule tasks that deliver to specific platforms:
+
+```python
+schedule_cronjob(
+    prompt="Check server status...",
+    schedule="every 1h",
+    deliver="telegram"  # or "origin", "discord", etc.
+)
+```
+

+model:
+  default: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
+
+# Terminal backend (local, docker, singularity, modal, or ssh)
+terminal:
+  env_type: "local"
+  cwd: "."  # Use current directory
+
+# Or use SSH for remote execution (keeps agent code isolated)
+# terminal:
+#   env_type: "ssh"
+#   ssh_host: "my-server.example.com"
+#   ssh_user: "myuser"
+#   ssh_key: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
+#   cwd: "/home/myuser/project"
+
+# Enable specific toolsets
+toolsets:
+  - all  # or: web, terminal, browser, vision, etc.
+
+# Custom personalities (use with /personality command)
+agent:
+  personalities:
+    helpful: "You are a helpful assistant."
+    kawaii: "You are a kawaii assistant! Use cute expressions..."
+```
+
+### Personalities
+
+Built-in personalities available via `/personality`:
+- `helpful`, `concise`, `technical`, `creative`, `teacher`
+- `kawaii`, `catgirl`, `pirate`, `shakespeare`, `surfer`
+- `noir`, `uwu`, `philosopher`, `hype`
+
+## Toolsets System
+
+The agent uses a toolsets system for organizing and managing tools. All tools must be part of a toolset to be accessible - individual tool selection is not supported. This ensures consistent and logical grouping of capabilities.
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+- **Toolsets**: Logical groups of tools for specific use cases (e.g., "research", "development", "debugging")
+- **Composition**: Toolsets can include other toolsets for powerful combinations
+- **Custom Toolsets**: Create your own toolsets at runtime or by editing `toolsets.py`
+- **Toolset-Only Access**: Tools are only accessible through toolsets, not individually
+
+### Available Toolsets
+
+See `toolsets.py` for the complete list of predefined toolsets including:
+- Basic toolsets (web, terminal, vision, creative, reasoning)
+- Composite toolsets (research, development, analysis, etc.)
+- Scenario-specific toolsets (debugging, documentation, API testing, etc.)
+- Special toolsets (safe mode without terminal, minimal, offline)
+
+### Using Toolsets
+
+```bash
+# Use a predefined toolset
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=research --query "Find latest AI papers"
+
+# Combine multiple toolsets
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=web,vision --query "Analyze this website"
+
+# Enable all toolsets explicitly (same as omitting the flag)
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=all --query "Do web research and run commands if helpful"
+
+# Safe mode (no terminal access)
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=safe --query "Help without running commands"
+
+# List all available toolsets and tools
+python run_agent.py --list_tools
+```
+
+See `toolsets.py` for the complete list of available toolsets and how to create custom ones.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Default (all tools enabled)
+```bash
+# Uses OpenRouter by default - just set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in .env
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "search up the latest docs on jit in python 3.13 and write me basic example that's not in their docs. profile its perf" \
+  --max_turns 20 \
+  --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+```
+
+### With specific toolset
+```bash
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "Debug this Python error" \
+  --enabled_toolsets=debugging \
+  --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+```
+
+### Python API
+```python
+from run_agent import AIAgent
+
+# Uses OpenRouter by default (reads OPENROUTER_API_KEY from .env)
+agent = AIAgent(
+    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
+    enabled_toolsets=["research"]
+)
+response = agent.chat("Find information about quantum computing")
+
+# Create custom toolset at runtime
+from toolsets import create_custom_toolset
+
+create_custom_toolset(
+    name="my_tools",
+    description="My custom toolkit",
+    tools=["web_search"],
+    includes=["terminal", "vision"]
+)
+
+agent = AIAgent(enabled_toolsets=["my_tools"])
+```
+
+## Batch Processing
+
+Process multiple prompts from a dataset in parallel with automatic checkpointing and statistics tracking:
+
+```bash
+# Basic batch processing
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=20 \
+  --run_name=my_run
+
+# With specific distribution
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=20 \
+  --run_name=image_run \
+  --distribution=image_gen \
+  --num_workers=4
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Parallel processing with configurable workers
+- Toolset distributions for varied data generation
+- Automatic checkpointing and resume capability
+- Combined output in `data/<run_name>/trajectories.jsonl`
+- Tool usage statistics and success rates
+
+Use `--list_distributions` to see available toolset distributions for varied data generation.
+
+### Trajectory Compression

+Post-process trajectories to fit within token budgets for training:
+
+```bash
+# Compress a directory of JSONL files
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/my_run
+
+# Compress a single JSONL file
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/trajectories.jsonl
+
+# Compress a 15% sample (useful for creating smaller training sets)
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/trajectories.jsonl --sample_percent=15
+
+# Custom output and token target
+python trajectory_compressor.py \
+  --input=data/trajectories.jsonl \
+  --output=data/compressed.jsonl \
+  --target_max_tokens=16000
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Protects first turns (system, human, first GPT response, first tool call)
+- Protects last N turns (configurable)
+- Summarizes middle turns using LLM to fit target token budget
+- Supports both directory and single file input
+- Optional random sampling with `--sample_percent`
+- Configurable via `configs/trajectory_compression.yaml`
+
+### Ephemeral System Prompts
+
+The ephemeral system prompt feature allows you to guide the model's behavior during batch processing **without** saving that prompt to the training dataset trajectories. This is useful for:
+
+- Guiding model behavior during data collection
+- Adding task-specific instructions 
+- Keeping saved trajectories clean and focused on tool-calling format
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=10 \
+  --run_name=my_run \
+  --ephemeral_system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant focused on image generation."
+```
+
+The ephemeral prompt will influence the model's behavior during execution, but **only the standard tool-calling system prompt** will be saved in the trajectory files.
+
+The ephemeral prompt influences model behavior during execution, but **only the standard tool-calling system prompt** is saved in trajectory files.
