- Add 'emoji' field to ToolEntry and 'get_emoji()' to ToolRegistry
- Add emoji= to all 50+ registry.register() calls across tool files
- Add get_tool_emoji() helper in agent/display.py with 3-tier resolution:
skin override → registry default → hardcoded fallback
- Replace hardcoded emoji maps in run_agent.py, delegate_tool.py, and
gateway/run.py with centralized get_tool_emoji() calls
- Add 'tool_emojis' field to SkinConfig so skins can override per-tool
emojis (e.g. ares skin could use swords instead of wrenches)
- Add 11 tests (5 registry emoji, 6 display/skin integration)
- Update AGENTS.md skin docs table
Based on the approach from PR #1061 by ForgingAlex (emoji centralization
in registry). This salvage fixes several issues from the original:
- Does NOT split the cronjob tool (which would crash on missing schemas)
- Does NOT change image_generate toolset/requires_env/is_async
- Does NOT delete existing tests
- Completes the centralization (gateway/run.py was missed)
- Hooks into the skin system for full customizability
The security scanner (skills_guard.py) was only wired into the hub install path.
All other write paths to persistent state — skills created by the agent, memory
entries, cron prompts, and context files — bypassed it entirely. This closes
those gaps:
- file_operations: deny-list blocks writes to ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.hermes/.env, etc.
- code_execution_tool: filter secret env vars from sandbox child process
- skill_manager_tool: wire scan_skill() into create/edit/patch/write_file with rollback
- skills_guard: add "agent-created" trust level (same policy as community)
- memory_tool: scan content for injection/exfil before system prompt injection
- prompt_builder: scan AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, SOUL.md for prompt injection
- cronjob_tools: scan cron prompts for critical threats before scheduling

- 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.
