Add MCP sampling/createMessage capability via SamplingHandler class.
Text-only sampling + tool use in sampling with governance (rate limits,
model whitelist, token caps, tool loop limits). Per-server audit metrics.
Based on concept from PR #366 by eren-karakus0. Restructured as class-based
design with bug fixes and tests using real MCP SDK types.
50 new tests, 2600 total passing.
New browser capabilities and a built-in skill for agent-driven web QA.
## New tool: browser_console
Returns console messages (log/warn/error/info) AND uncaught JavaScript
exceptions in a single call. Uses agent-browser's 'console' and 'errors'
commands through the existing session plumbing. Supports --clear to reset
buffers. Verified working in both local and Browserbase cloud modes.
## Enhanced tool: browser_vision(annotate=True)
New boolean parameter on browser_vision. When true, agent-browser overlays
numbered [N] labels on interactive elements — each [N] maps to ref @eN.
Annotation data (element name, role, bounding box) returned alongside the
vision analysis. Useful for QA reports and spatial reasoning.
## Config: browser.record_sessions
Auto-record browser sessions as WebM video files when enabled:
- Starts recording on first browser_navigate
- Stops and saves on browser_close
- Saves to ~/.hermes/browser_recordings/
- Works in both local and cloud modes (verified)
- Disabled by default
## Built-in skill: dogfood
Systematic exploratory QA testing for web applications. Teaches the agent
a 5-phase workflow:
1. Plan — accept URL, create output dirs, set scope
2. Explore — systematic crawl with annotated screenshots
3. Collect Evidence — screenshots, console errors, JS exceptions
4. Categorize — severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and category
(Functional/Visual/Accessibility/Console/UX/Content)
5. Report — structured markdown with per-issue evidence
Includes:
- skills/dogfood/SKILL.md — full workflow instructions
- skills/dogfood/references/issue-taxonomy.md — severity/category defs
- skills/dogfood/templates/dogfood-report-template.md — report template
## Tests
21 new tests covering:
- browser_console message/error parsing, clear flag, empty/failed states
- browser_console schema registration
- browser_vision annotate schema and flag passing
- record_sessions config defaults and recording lifecycle
- Dogfood skill file existence and content validation
Addresses #315.
browser_vision now saves screenshots persistently to ~/.hermes/browser_screenshots/
and returns the screenshot_path in its JSON response. The model can include
MEDIA:<path> in its response to share screenshots as native photos.
Changes:
- browser_tool.py: Save screenshots persistently, return screenshot_path,
auto-cleanup files older than 24 hours, mkdir moved inside try/except
- telegram.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via bot.send_photo()
- discord.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via discord.File
- slack.py: Add send_image_file() — sends local images via files_upload_v2()
(WhatsApp already had send_image_file — no changes needed)
- prompt_builder.py: Updated Telegram hint to list image extensions,
added Discord and Slack MEDIA: platform hints
- browser.md: Document screenshot sharing and 24h cleanup
- send_file_integration_map.md: Updated to reflect send_image_file is now
implemented on Telegram/Discord/Slack
- test_send_image_file.py: 19 tests covering MEDIA: .png extraction,
send_image_file on all platforms, and screenshot cleanup
Partially addresses #466 (Phase 0: platform adapter gaps for send_image_file).
Add a 'platforms' field to SKILL.md frontmatter that restricts skills
to specific operating systems. Skills with platforms: [macos] only
appear in the system prompt, skills_list(), and slash commands on macOS.
Skills without the field load everywhere (backward compatible).
Implementation:
- skill_matches_platform() in tools/skills_tool.py — core filter
- Wired into all 3 discovery paths: prompt_builder.py, skills_tool.py,
skill_commands.py
- 28 new tests across 3 test files
New bundled Apple/macOS skills (all platforms: [macos]):
- imessage — Send/receive iMessages via imsg CLI
- apple-reminders — Manage Reminders via remindctl CLI
- apple-notes — Manage Notes via memo CLI
- findmy — Track devices/AirTags via AppleScript + screen capture
Docs updated: CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, creating-skills.md,
skills.md (user guide)
Authored by rovle. Adds Daytona as the sixth terminal execution backend
with cloud sandboxes, persistent workspaces, and full CLI/gateway integration.
Includes 24 unit tests and 8 integration tests.
New docs page covering clipboard image paste across all platforms:
- Platform compatibility table (macOS, Linux X11/Wayland, WSL2, VSCode, SSH)
- Setup instructions per platform (xclip, wl-paste, powershell.exe)
- Explanation of terminal paste limitations and why /paste exists
- SSH workarounds (file upload, URLs, X11 forwarding, messaging)
- Keybinding reference (Alt+V, Ctrl+V, /paste) with when each works
Also updates CLI commands reference with /paste command and
Alt+V keybinding documentation.
- 25 documentation pages covering Getting Started, User Guide, Developer Guide, and Reference
- Docusaurus with custom amber/gold theme matching the landing page branding
- GitHub Actions workflow to deploy landing page + docs to GitHub Pages
- Landing page at root, docs at /docs/ on hermes-agent.nousresearch.com
- Content extracted and restructured from existing repo docs (README, AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/)
- Auto-deploy on push to main when website/ or landingpage/ changes
