* feat: env var passthrough for skills and user config Skills that declare required_environment_variables now have those vars passed through to sandboxed execution environments (execute_code and terminal). Previously, execute_code stripped all vars containing KEY, TOKEN, SECRET, etc. and the terminal blocklist removed Hermes infrastructure vars — both blocked skill-declared env vars. Two passthrough sources: 1. Skill-scoped (automatic): when a skill is loaded via skill_view and declares required_environment_variables, vars that are present in the environment are registered in a session-scoped passthrough set. 2. Config-based (manual): terminal.env_passthrough in config.yaml lets users explicitly allowlist vars for non-skill use cases. Changes: - New module: tools/env_passthrough.py — shared passthrough registry - hermes_cli/config.py: add terminal.env_passthrough to DEFAULT_CONFIG - tools/skills_tool.py: register available skill env vars on load - tools/code_execution_tool.py: check passthrough before filtering - tools/environments/local.py: check passthrough in _sanitize_subprocess_env and _make_run_env - 19 new tests covering all layers * docs: add environment variable passthrough documentation Document the env var passthrough feature across four docs pages: - security.md: new 'Environment Variable Passthrough' section with full explanation, comparison table, and security considerations - code-execution.md: update security section, add passthrough subsection, fix comparison table - creating-skills.md: add tip about automatic sandbox passthrough - skills.md: add note about passthrough after secure setup docs Live-tested: launched interactive CLI, loaded a skill with required_environment_variables, verified TEST_SKILL_SECRET_KEY was accessible inside execute_code sandbox (value: passthrough-test-value-42).
Website
This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.
Installation
yarn
Local Development
yarn start
This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.
Build
yarn build
This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.
Deployment
Using SSH:
USE_SSH=true yarn deploy
Not using SSH:
GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy
If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.
Diagram Linting
CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
