Summary

Sync the hermes-agent skill with the in-repo slash command registry and the AGENTS.md #20226 additions, so "does /goal exist?" (and anything like it) stops returning a confident wrong answer.

Addresses the user report from wxrrior in Discord: on a freshly-updated session, asking /hermes-agent do you have any info on /goal returned "no such command" because the skill's static slash-command list hadn't been touched since /goal (and 15 others) landed.

Changes

  • skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md:
    • Slash Commands header now points to /help + the live slash commands reference as the source of truth, and names hermes_cli/commands.py as the registry of record. Future drift gets flagged honestly instead of answered confidently wrong.
    • Added the 16 missing commands: /goal, /agents, /busy, /copy, /curator, /debug, /footer, /gquota, /indicator, /kanban, /redraw, /reload, /reload-skills, /snapshot, /steer, /topic.
    • Toolsets table: grew from 20 to the authoritative 30 keys in toolsets.py (added kanban, yuanbao, spotify, safe, debugging, video, feishu_doc, feishu_drive, discord, discord_admin, clarify).
    • New "Durable & Background Systems" section before Troubleshooting — short user-facing rundowns of Delegation, Cron, Curator, and Kanban, each pointing to the full docs. Mirrors the developer-facing sections added to AGENTS.md in docs(AGENTS.md): add curator/cron/delegation/toolsets, fix plugin tree #20226.
    • Bumped version 2.0.0 → 2.1.0.

Validation

Before After
Registry commands missing from skill's slash list 16 0
Toolset rows in skill 20 30
Mentions of /goal in skill 0 2
Mentions of Curator/Cron/Kanban as first-class systems 0 3 sections

Drift re-check script (CommandDef names vs skill's /slash mentions) reports zero registry commands missing after the patch.

Note on future drift

Per the Discord thread, the cleanest future-proofing is to have the skill defer entirely to live-generated slash-command text. This PR does the "fix the immediate stale info + point at the live source" half explicitly, without rewriting the skill layout. If we want the stronger version (skill pulls from /help output directly or regenerates the block at build/install time), I'm happy to do that as a follow-up.

…ection

Mirrors the AGENTS.md #20226 additions (Toolsets / Delegation / Curator /
Cron / Kanban) into the user-facing hermes-agent skill, and closes the
drift in the in-session slash command list.

User report (wxrrior in Discord): the skill did not mention /goal, so a
brand-new session answering "/hermes-agent do you have any info on /goal"
confidently said it did not exist. Cross-check against the CommandDef
registry found 16 commands missing from the static list: /goal, /agents,
/busy, /copy, /curator, /debug, /footer, /gquota, /indicator, /kanban,
/redraw, /reload, /reload-skills, /snapshot, /steer, /topic.

Changes:
- Slash Commands header now tells the reader to run /help or check the
  live docs reference as the source of truth, and names the registry
  of record (hermes_cli/commands.py) so future drift gets flagged
  honestly instead of answered confidently wrong.
- Added all 16 missing commands, slotted into existing subsections
  (/goal and /steer in Session; /busy + /indicator + /footer in
  Configuration; /curator + /kanban + /reload-skills + /reload in
  Tools & Skills; /topic in Gateway; /copy in Utility; /gquota +
  /debug in Info).
- Toolsets table updated to the authoritative 30-key list from
  toolsets.py (added kanban, yuanbao, spotify, safe, debugging, video,
  feishu_doc, feishu_drive, discord, discord_admin, clarify; previously
  stopped at 20 keys).
- New "Durable & Background Systems" section before Troubleshooting
  covers Delegation, Cron, Curator, Kanban - each with a short rundown
  of CLI verbs, key invariants, and a pointer to the user-facing docs.
  Mirrors AGENTS.md #20226 but in the skill's user-facing register.
- Bumped version 2.0.0 -> 2.1.0.
