* refactor: centralize slash command registry
Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single
CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream
consumers now derive from this registry:
- CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command()
- Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset
- Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines()
- Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands()
- Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map()
Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to
COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files.
Bugfixes included:
- Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing)
- Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing)
- Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed
- Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help
Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are
rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged.
* docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry
Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a
Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers,
and the one-line alias workflow.
Also update:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description
- website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry
- docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED
- plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern
- hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table
* chore: remove stale plan docs
CI failure: test_skill_command_prefix_matches raised AttributeError because
HermesCLI.__new__ skips __init__, leaving session_id and _pending_input unset.
These are accessed when skill command dispatch runs in the CI environment.
Per teknium1 review on PR #968:
1. Guard against infinite recursion: if expanded name equals the typed
token (already exact), fall through to Unknown command instead of
redispatching the same string forever.
2. Include skill slash commands in prefix resolution so execution-time
matching agrees with tab-completion (set(COMMANDS) | set(_skill_commands)).
3. Add missing test cases:
- unambiguous prefix with extra args does not recurse
- exact command with args does not loop
- skill command prefix matches correctly
- exact builtin takes priority over skill prefix ambiguity
8 tests passing.
Slash commands previously required exact full names. Typing /con
returned 'Unknown command' even though /config was the only match.
Add unambiguous prefix matching in process_command():
- Unique prefix (e.g. /con -> /config): dispatch immediately
- Ambiguous prefix (e.g. /re -> /reset, /retry, /reasoning...):
show 'Did you mean' suggestions
- No match: existing 'Unknown command' error
Prefix matching uses the COMMANDS dict from hermes_cli/commands.py
(same source as SlashCommandCompleter) so it stays in sync with
any new commands added there.
