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.
Seed ~/.hermes/SOUL.md when missing, load SOUL only from HERMES_HOME, and inject raw SOUL content without wrapper text. If the file exists but is empty, nothing is added to the system prompt.
- store gateway PID metadata and validate the live process before trusting gateway.pid
- auto-refresh outdated systemd user units before start/restart so installs pick up --replace fixes
- sweep stray manual gateway processes after service stops
- add regression tests for PID validation and service drift recovery
* fix(gateway): surface missing linger in status and doctor
Warn when a systemd user gateway service has linger disabled so users can
spot the common 'gateway sleeps after logout' deployment issue from both
hermes doctor and hermes gateway status.
* fix(gateway): check linger status after install
After installing the systemd user service, report whether linger is
already enabled instead of always printing the generic hint. This makes
post-install guidance match the user's actual deployment state.
Add a restore prompt for interactive updates, keep the stash when the user declines, and print a post-restore warning that local changes were reapplied on top of updated code.
Salvaged from PR #932 by Wayne onto current main.
Apply skin-aware prompt symbols and live prompt_toolkit color refresh,
replace lingering hardcoded accent output with active-skin colors, keep
ANSI-safe response rendering, preserve secret-capture and approval-prompt
state handling, and add integration coverage for prompt state and style
refresh behavior.
hermes setup hung indefinitely on headless SSH sessions, Docker
containers, and CI/CD environments because the interactive provider
selection menu could not receive input.
Two-layer fix:
1. sys.stdin.isatty() check — auto-detects non-interactive environments
2. --non-interactive flag support — already in CLI parser, now honored
In both cases the wizard exits immediately with helpful guidance
pointing users to 'hermes config set' commands.
Closes#905
Set HERMES_INTERACTIVE=1 via setdefault in run_doctor() so CLI-gated
tool checks (like cronjob) see the same context as the interactive CLI.

When a skill declares required_environment_variables in its YAML
frontmatter, missing env vars trigger a secure TUI prompt (identical
to the sudo password widget) when the skill is loaded. Secrets flow
directly to ~/.hermes/.env, never entering LLM context.
Key changes:
- New required_environment_variables frontmatter field for skills
- Secure TUI widget (masked input, 120s timeout)
- Gateway safety: messaging platforms show local setup guidance
- Legacy prerequisites.env_vars normalized into new format
- Remote backend handling: conservative setup_needed=True
- Env var name validation, file permissions hardened to 0o600
- Redact patterns extended for secret-related JSON fields
- 12 existing skills updated with prerequisites declarations
- ~48 new tests covering skip, timeout, gateway, remote backends
- Dynamic panel widget sizing (fixes hardcoded width from original PR)

* fix: use session_key instead of chat_id for adapter interrupt lookups
monitor_for_interrupt() in _run_agent was using source.chat_id to query
the adapter's has_pending_interrupt() and get_pending_message() methods.
But the adapter stores interrupt events under build_session_key(source),
which produces a different string (e.g. 'agent:main:telegram:dm' vs '123456').
This key mismatch meant the interrupt was never detected through the
adapter path, which is the only active interrupt path for all adapter-based
platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.). The gateway-level interrupt
path (in dispatch_message) is unreachable because the adapter intercepts
the 2nd message in handle_message() before it reaches dispatch_message().
Result: sending a new message while subagents were running had no effect —
the interrupt was silently lost.
Fix: replace all source.chat_id references in the interrupt-related code
within _run_agent() with the session_key parameter, which matches the
adapter's storage keys.
Also adds regression tests verifying session_key vs chat_id consistency.
* debug: add file-based logging to CLI interrupt path
Temporary instrumentation to diagnose why message-based interrupts
don't seem to work during subagent execution. Logs to
~/.hermes/interrupt_debug.log (immune to redirect_stdout).
Two log points:
1. When Enter handler puts message into _interrupt_queue
2. When chat() reads it and calls agent.interrupt()
This will reveal whether the message reaches the queue and
whether the interrupt is actually fired.
* fix: accept unlisted models with warning instead of rejecting
validate_requested_model() previously hard-rejected any model not found
in the provider's API listing. This was too aggressive — users on higher
plan tiers (e.g. Z.AI Pro/Max) may have access to models not shown in
the public listing (like glm-5 on coding endpoints).
Changes:
- validate_requested_model: accept unlisted models with a warning note
instead of blocking. The model is saved to config and used immediately.
- Z.AI setup: always offer glm-5 in the model list regardless of whether
a coding endpoint was detected. Pro/Max plans support it.
- Z.AI setup detection message: softened from 'GLM-5 is not available'
to 'GLM-5 may still be available depending on your plan tier'
Follow-up to PR #862 (local skills classification by arceus77-7):
- Remove unnecessary isinstance guard on _read_manifest() return value —
it always returns Dict[str, str], so set() on it suffices.
- Extract repeated hub-dir monkeypatching into a shared pytest fixture (hub_env).
- Add three_source_env fixture for source-classification tests.
- Add _read_manifest monkeypatch to test_do_list_initializes_hub_dir
(was fragile — relied on empty skills list masking the real manifest).
- Add test coverage for --source hub and --source builtin filters.
- Extract _capture() helper to reduce console/StringIO boilerplate.
5 tests, all green.
- Remove test_nous_api_setup_preserves_model_provider_metadata (nous-api
provider no longer exists, test selected Nous OAuth which hangs waiting
for browser login)
- Fix test_nous_oauth_setup prompt_choice index: 1→0 (Nous Portal is
now first option after nous-api removal)
- gateway/run.py: Take main's _resolve_gateway_model() helper
- hermes_cli/setup.py: Re-apply nous-api removal after merge brought
it back. Fix provider_idx offset (Custom is now index 3, not 4).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup.py: Fix custom setup test index (3→4)
When a new user runs 'hermes setup' for the first time and ~/.openclaw/
exists, the wizard now asks if they want to import their OpenClaw data
before API/tool configuration begins.
If accepted, the existing migration script from optional-skills/ is
loaded dynamically and run with the 'full' preset — importing settings,
memories, skills, API keys, and platform configs. Config is reloaded
afterward so imported values (like API keys) are available for the
remaining setup steps.
The migration is only offered on first-time setup (not returning users)
and handles errors gracefully without blocking setup completion.
Closes#829
Combined implementation of reasoning management:
- /reasoning Show current effort level and display state
- /reasoning <level> Set reasoning effort (none, low, medium, high, xhigh)
- /reasoning show|on Show model thinking/reasoning in output
- /reasoning hide|off Hide model thinking/reasoning from output
Effort level changes persist to config and force agent re-init.
Display toggle updates the agent callback dynamically without re-init.
When display is enabled:
- Intermediate reasoning shown as dim [thinking] lines during tool loops
- Final reasoning shown in a bordered box above the response
- Long reasoning collapsed (5 lines intermediate, 10 lines final)
Also adds:
- reasoning_callback parameter to AIAgent
- last_reasoning in run_conversation result dict
- show_reasoning config option (display section, default: false)
- Display section in /config output
- 34 tests covering both features
Combines functionality from PR #789 and PR #790.

Four cleanups to code merged today:
1. New hermes_cli/curses_ui.py — shared curses_checklist() used by both
hermes tools and hermes skills. Eliminates ~140 lines of near-identical
curses code (scrolling, key handling, color setup, numbered fallback).
2. Fix _find_all_skills() perf — was calling load_config() per skill
(~100+ YAML parses). Now loads disabled set once via
_get_disabled_skill_names() and does a set lookup.
3. Eliminate _list_all_skills_unfiltered() duplication — _find_all_skills()
now accepts skip_disabled=True for the config UI, removing 30 lines
of copy-pasted discovery logic from skills_config.py.
4. Fix fragile label round-trip in skills_command — was building label
strings, passing to checklist, then mapping labels back to skill names
(collision-prone). Now works with indices directly, like tools_config.
Add /background <prompt> to the gateway, allowing users on Telegram,
Discord, Slack, etc. to fire off a prompt in a separate agent session.
The result is delivered back to the same chat when done, without
modifying the active conversation history.
Implementation:
- _handle_background_command: validates input, spawns asyncio task
- _run_background_task: creates AIAgent in executor thread, delivers
result (text, images, media files) back via the platform adapter
- Inherits model, toolsets, provider routing from gateway config
- Error handling with user-visible failure messages
Also adds /background to hermes_cli/commands.py registry so it
appears in /help and autocomplete.
Tests: 15 new tests covering usage, task creation, uniqueness,
multi-platform, error paths, and help/autocomplete integration.
Fixes#898 — Python 3.11 changed argparse to raise an exception on
duplicate subparser names (CPython #94331). The 'skills' name was
registered twice: once for Skills Hub and once for skills config.
Changes:
- Remove duplicate 'skills' subparser registration
- Add 'config' as a sub-action under the existing 'hermes skills' command
- Route 'hermes skills config' to skills_config module
- Add regression test to catch future duplicates
Migration: 'hermes skills' (config) is now 'hermes skills config'
When a user runs `hermes -w -c Pokemon Agent Dev` without quoting the
session name, argparse would fail with:
error: argument command: invalid choice: 'Agent'
This is because argparse parses `-c Pokemon` (consuming one token via
nargs='?'), then sees 'Agent' and tries to match it as a subcommand.
Fix: add _coalesce_session_name_args() that pre-processes sys.argv before
argparse, joining consecutive non-flag, non-subcommand tokens after -c or
-r into a single argument. This makes both quoted and unquoted multi-word
session names work transparently.
Includes 17 tests covering all edge cases: multi-word names, single-word,
bare flags, flag ordering, subcommand boundaries, and passthrough.
