* fix(skills): reduce skills.sh resolution churn and preserve trust for wrapped identifiers
- Accept common skills.sh prefix typos (skils-sh/, skils.sh/)
- Strip skills-sh/ prefix in _resolve_trust_level() so trusted repos
stay trusted when installed through skills.sh
- Use resolved identifier (from bundle/meta) for scan_skill source
- Prefer tree search before root scan in _discover_identifier()
- Add _resolve_github_meta() consolidation for inspect flow

* fix: restore candidate loop in SkillsShSource.fetch() for consistency
The cherry-picked PR only tried the first candidate identifier in
fetch() while inspect() (via _resolve_github_meta) tried all four.
This meant skills at repo/skills/path would be found by inspect but
missed by fetch, forcing it through the heavier _discover_identifier
flow. Restore the candidate loop so both paths behave identically.
Updated the test assertion to match.

Three categories of cleanup, all zero-behavioral-change:
1. F-strings without placeholders (154 fixes across 29 files)
- Converted f'...' to '...' where no {expression} was present
- Heaviest files: run_agent.py (24), cli.py (20), honcho_integration/cli.py (34)
2. Simplify defensive patterns in run_agent.py
- Added explicit self._is_anthropic_oauth = False in __init__ (before
the api_mode branch that conditionally sets it)
- Replaced 7x getattr(self, '_is_anthropic_oauth', False) with direct
self._is_anthropic_oauth (attribute always initialized now)
- Added _is_openrouter_url() and _is_anthropic_url() helper methods
- Replaced 3 inline 'openrouter' in self._base_url_lower checks
3. Remove dead code in small files
- hermes_cli/claw.py: removed unused 'total' computation
- tools/fuzzy_match.py: removed unused strip_indent() function and
pattern_stripped variable
Full test suite: 6184 passed, 0 failures
E2E PTY: banner clean, tool calls work, zero garbled ANSI
Centralizes two widely-duplicated patterns into hermes_constants.py:
1. get_hermes_home() — Path resolution for ~/.hermes (HERMES_HOME env var)
- Was copy-pasted inline across 30+ files as:
Path(os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", Path.home() / ".hermes"))
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py (zero-dependency module)
- hermes_cli/config.py re-exports it for backward compatibility
- Removed local wrapper functions in honcho_integration/client.py,
tools/website_policy.py, tools/tirith_security.py, hermes_cli/uninstall.py
2. parse_reasoning_effort() — Reasoning effort string validation
- Was copy-pasted in cli.py, gateway/run.py, cron/scheduler.py
- Same validation logic: check against (xhigh, high, medium, low, minimal, none)
- Now defined once in hermes_constants.py, called from all 3 locations
- Warning log for unknown values kept at call sites (context-specific)

* fix(skills): use Git Trees API to prevent silent subdirectory loss during install
Refactors _download_directory() to use the Git Trees API (single call
for the entire repo tree) as the primary path, falling back to the
recursive Contents API when the tree endpoint is unavailable or
truncated. Prevents silent subdirectory loss caused by per-directory
rate limiting or transient failures.
Cherry-picked from PR #2981 by tugrulguner.
Fixes#2940.
* fix: simplify tree API — use branch name directly as tree-ish
Eliminates an extra git/ref/heads API call by passing the branch name
directly to git/trees/{branch}?recursive=1, matching the pattern
already used by _find_skill_in_repo_tree.

* fix(run_agent): ensure _fire_first_delta() is called for tool generation events
Added calls to _fire_first_delta() in the AIAgent class to improve the handling of tool generation events, ensuring timely notifications during the processing of function calls and tool usage.
* fix(run_agent): improve timeout handling for chat completions
Enhanced the timeout configuration for chat completions in the AIAgent class by introducing customizable connection, read, and write timeouts using environment variables. This ensures more robust handling of API requests during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): reduce default stream read timeout for chat completions
Updated the default stream read timeout from 120 seconds to 60 seconds in the AIAgent class, enhancing the timeout configuration for chat completions. This change aims to improve responsiveness during streaming operations.
* fix(run_agent): enhance streaming error handling and retry logic
Improved the error handling and retry mechanism for streaming requests in the AIAgent class. Introduced a configurable maximum number of stream retries and refined the handling of transient network errors, allowing for retries with fresh connections. Non-transient errors now trigger a fallback to non-streaming only when appropriate, ensuring better resilience during API interactions.
* fix: skills-sh install fails for deeply nested repo structures
Skills in repos with deep directory nesting (e.g.
cli-tool/components/skills/development/senior-backend/) could not be
installed because the candidate path generation and shallow root-dir
scan never reached them.
Added GitHubSource._find_skill_in_repo_tree() which uses the GitHub
Trees API to recursively search the entire repo tree in a single API
call. This is used as a final fallback in
SkillsShSource._discover_identifier() when the standard candidate
paths and shallow scan both fail.
Fixes installation of skills from repos like davila7/claude-code-templates
where skills are nested 4+ levels deep.
Reported by user Samuraixheart.
Cherry-picked from PR #2122 by @AtlasMeridia.
1. do_inspect bytes crash: bundle.files returns bytes for official
skills, .split() expected str. Added decode guard.
2. GitHub redirects: three httpx.get calls missing follow_redirects=True,
causing silent 301 failures on renamed orgs.
3. Skill discovery fallback: scan repo root directories when standard
paths (skills/, .agents/skills/, .claude/skills/) miss.
4. tap list KeyError: t['repo'] crashes for local taps. Use safe .get().
* feat(skills): add bundled neutts optional skill
Add NeuTTS optional skill with CLI scaffold, bootstrap helper, and
sample voice profile. Also fixes skills_hub.py to handle binary
assets (WAV files) during skill installation.
Changes:
- optional-skills/mlops/models/neutts/ — skill + CLI scaffold
- tools/skills_hub.py — binary asset support (read_bytes, write_bytes)
- tests/tools/test_skills_hub.py — regression tests for binary assets
* feat(tts): add NeuTTS as local TTS provider backend
Add NeuTTS as a fourth TTS provider option alongside Edge, ElevenLabs,
and OpenAI. NeuTTS runs fully on-device via neutts_cli — no API key
needed.
Provider behavior:
- Explicit: set tts.provider to 'neutts' in config.yaml
- Fallback: when Edge TTS is unavailable and neutts_cli is installed,
automatically falls back to NeuTTS instead of failing
- check_tts_requirements() now includes NeuTTS in availability checks
NeuTTS outputs WAV natively. For Telegram voice bubbles, ffmpeg
converts to Opus (same pattern as Edge TTS).
Changes:
- tools/tts_tool.py — _generate_neutts(), _check_neutts_available(),
provider dispatch, fallback logic, Opus conversion
- hermes_cli/config.py — tts.neutts config defaults

The primary injection vector in #1558 was search_files discovering
catalog cache files in .hub/index-cache/ via find or grep, which
don't skip hidden directories like ripgrep does by default.
Three-layer fix:
1. _search_files (find): add -not -path '*/.*' to exclude hidden
directories, matching ripgrep's default behavior.
2. _search_with_grep: add --exclude-dir='.*' to skip hidden
directories in the grep fallback path.
3. _write_index_cache: write a .ignore file to .hub/ so ripgrep
also skips it even when invoked with --hidden (belt-and-suspenders).
This makes all three search backends (rg, grep, find) consistently
exclude hidden directories, preventing the agent from discovering
and reading unvetted community content in hub cache files.
Round out the skills hub integration with:
- richer skills.sh metadata and security surfacing during inspect/install
- generic check/update flows for hub-installed skills
- support for well-known Agent Skills endpoints via /.well-known/skills/index.json
Also persist upstream bundle metadata in the lock file and add
regression coverage plus live-compatible path handling for both
skills.sh aliases and well-known endpoints.
Harden the skills.sh hub adapter by parsing skill detail pages when
search slugs do not map cleanly onto GitHub skill folder names.
This adds detail-page resolution for alias-style skills, improves
inspect metadata from the page itself, and covers the behavior with
regression tests plus live smoke validation for json-render-react.
Add a skills.sh-backed source adapter for the Hermes Skills Hub.
The new adapter uses skills.sh search results for discovery, falls back to
featured homepage links for browse-style queries, and resolves installs /
inspects through the underlying GitHub repo using common Agent Skills
layout conventions. Also expose skills-sh in CLI source filters and add
regression coverage for search, alias resolution, and source routing.
The ClawHub API v1 version endpoint only returns file metadata
(path, size, sha256, contentType) without inline content or download
URLs. Our code was looking for inline content in the metadata, which
never existed, causing all ClawHub installs to fail with:
'no inline/raw file content was available'
Fix: Use the /api/v1/download endpoint (same as the official clawhub
CLI) to download skills as ZIP bundles and extract files in-memory.
Changes:
- Add _download_zip() method that downloads and extracts ZIP bundles
- Retry on 429 rate limiting with Retry-After header support
- Path sanitization and binary file filtering for security
- Keep _extract_files() as a fallback for inline/raw content
- Also fix nested file lookup (version_data.version.files)
Address code review findings:
Security (Medium):
- Path traversal guard in OptionalSkillSource.fetch() — resolve() and
validate that the path stays within optional-skills/ before reading
Bug fixes (Medium):
- Add 'builtin' to trust_style dicts in do_inspect() and
_resolve_short_name() — official skills now show bright_cyan 'official'
label consistently across all display functions (5/5 dicts fixed)
Edge cases (Low):
- Clamp page_size to [1, 100] in do_browse() to prevent ZeroDivisionError
- Update SkillMeta.source docstring to include 'official'
- Add browse command to optional-skills/DESCRIPTION.md
Add 'optional-skills/' directory for official skills that ship with the repo
but are not copied to ~/.hermes/skills/ during setup. They are:
- NOT shown to the model in the system prompt
- NOT copied during hermes setup/update
- Discoverable via 'hermes skills search' labeled as 'official'
- Installable via 'hermes skills install' with builtin trust (no third-party warning)
- Auto-categorized on install based on directory structure
Implementation:
- OptionalSkillSource adapter in tools/skills_hub.py (search/fetch/inspect)
- Added to create_source_router() as first source (highest priority)
- Trust level 'builtin' for official skills in skills_guard.py
- Friendly install message for official skills (no third-party warning)
- 'official' label in cyan in search results and skill list
First optional skill: Blackbox CLI (autonomous-ai-agents/blackbox)
- Multi-model coding agent with built-in judge/Chairman pattern
- Delegates to Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Blackbox models
- Open-source CLI (GPL-3.0, TypeScript, forked from Gemini CLI)
- Requires paid Blackbox AI API key

The dedup logic in GitHubSource.search() and unified_search() used
'r.trust_level == "trusted"' which let trusted results overwrite builtin
ones. Now uses ranked comparison: builtin (2) > trusted (1) > community (0).
- unified_search and GitHubSource.search dedup: replace naive
`trust_level == "trusted"` check with ranked comparison so
"builtin" results are never overwritten by "trusted" or "community"
- Add 43 unit tests covering _parse_frontmatter_quick, trust_level_for,
HubLockFile CRUD, TapsManager ops, LobeHub _convert_to_skill_md,
unified_search dedup (with regression test), and append_audit_log
- Updated various modules including cli.py, run_agent.py, gateway, and tools to replace silent exception handling with structured logging.
- Improved error messages to provide more context, aiding in debugging and monitoring.
- Ensured consistent logging practices throughout the codebase, enhancing traceability and maintainability.
- Added a new `skill_manager_tool` to enable agents to create, update, and delete their own skills, enhancing procedural memory capabilities.
- Updated the skills directory structure to support user-created skills in `~/.hermes/skills/`, allowing for better organization and management.
- Enhanced the CLI and documentation to reflect the new skill management functionalities, including detailed instructions on creating and modifying skills.
- Implemented a manifest-based syncing mechanism for bundled skills to ensure user modifications are preserved during updates.
