+# Cline's Memory Bank
+
+I am Cline, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read ALL memory bank files at the start of EVERY task - this is not optional.
+
+## Memory Bank Structure
+
+The Memory Bank consists of core files and optional context files, all in Markdown format. Files build upon each other in a clear hierarchy:
+
+flowchart TD
+    PB[projectbrief.md] --> PC[productContext.md]
+    PB --> SP[systemPatterns.md]
+    PB --> TC[techContext.md]
+
+    PC --> AC[activeContext.md]
+    SP --> AC
+    TC --> AC
+
+    AC --> P[progress.md]
+
+### Core Files (Required)
+1. `projectbrief.md`
+   - Foundation document that shapes all other files
+   - Created at project start if it doesn't exist
+   - Defines core requirements and goals
+   - Source of truth for project scope
+
+2. `productContext.md`
+   - Why this project exists
+   - Problems it solves
+   - How it should work
+   - User experience goals
+
+3. `activeContext.md`
+   - Current work focus
+   - Recent changes
+   - Next steps
+   - Active decisions and considerations
+   - Important patterns and preferences
+   - Learnings and project insights
+
+4. `systemPatterns.md`
+   - System architecture
+   - Key technical decisions
+   - Design patterns in use
+   - Component relationships
+   - Critical implementation paths
+
+5. `techContext.md`
+   - Technologies used
+   - Development setup
+   - Technical constraints
+   - Dependencies
+   - Tool usage patterns
+
+6. `progress.md`
+   - What works
+   - What's left to build
+   - Current status
+   - Known issues
+   - Evolution of project decisions
+
+### Additional Context
+Create additional files/folders within memory-bank/ when they help organize:
+- Complex feature documentation
+- Integration specifications
+- API documentation
+- Testing strategies
+- Deployment procedures
+

+
+## Documentation Updates
+
+Memory Bank updates occur when:
+1. Discovering new project patterns
+2. After implementing significant changes
+3. When user requests with **update memory bank** (MUST review ALL files)
+4. When context needs clarification
+
+flowchart TD
+    Start[Update Process]

+        P1[Review ALL Files]
+        P2[Document Current State]

+        P4[Document Insights & Patterns]
+
+        P1 --> P2 --> P3 --> P4
+    end
+
+    Start --> Process
+
+Note: When triggered by **update memory bank**, I MUST review every memory bank file, even if some don't require updates. Focus particularly on activeContext.md and progress.md as they track current state.
+
+REMEMBER: After every memory reset, I begin completely fresh. The Memory Bank is my only link to previous work. It must be maintained with precision and clarity, as my effectiveness depends entirely on its accuracy.

+Hermes-Agent is an agent harness for LLMs with an interactive CLI.
+
+## Development Environment
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Always use the virtual environment if it exists:
+```bash
+source venv/bin/activate  # Before running any Python commands
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+- `hermes` - CLI launcher script (run with `./hermes`)
+- `cli.py` - Interactive CLI with Rich UI, prompt_toolkit, animated spinners
+- `cli-config.yaml` - CLI configuration (model, terminal, toolsets, personalities)
+- `tools/` - Individual tool implementations (web, terminal, browser, vision, etc.)
+- `tools/__init__.py` - Exports all tools for importing
+- `model_tools.py` - Consolidates tool schemas and handlers for the agent
+- `toolsets.py` - Groups tools into logical toolsets (web, terminal, browser, etc.)
+- `toolset_distributions.py` - Probability-based tool selection for data generation
+- `run_agent.py` - Primary agent runner with AIAgent class and KawaiiSpinner
+- `batch_runner.py` - Parallel batch processing with checkpointing
+- `tests/` - Test scripts
+
+## File Dependency Chain
+
+```
+tools/*.py → tools/__init__.py → model_tools.py → toolsets.py → toolset_distributions.py
+                                       ↑
+run_agent.py ──────────────────────────┘
+cli.py → run_agent.py (uses AIAgent with quiet_mode=True)
+batch_runner.py → run_agent.py + toolset_distributions.py
+```
+
+Always ensure consistency between tools, model_tools.py, and toolsets.py when changing any of them.
+
+## CLI Architecture (cli.py)
+
+The interactive CLI uses:
+- **Rich** - For the welcome banner and styled panels
+- **prompt_toolkit** - For fixed input area with history and `patch_stdout`
+- **KawaiiSpinner** (in run_agent.py) - Animated feedback during API calls and tool execution
+
+Key components:
+- `HermesCLI` class - Main CLI controller with commands and conversation loop
+- `load_cli_config()` - Loads `cli-config.yaml`, sets environment variables for terminal
+- `build_welcome_banner()` - Displays ASCII art logo, tools, and skills summary
+- `/commands` - Process user commands like `/help`, `/clear`, `/personality`, etc.
+
+CLI uses `quiet_mode=True` when creating AIAgent to suppress verbose logging and enable kawaii-style feedback instead.
+
+### Adding CLI Commands
+
+1. Add to `COMMANDS` dict with description
+2. Add handler in `process_command()` method
+3. For persistent settings, use `save_config_value()` to update `cli-config.yaml`
+
+## Adding a New Tool
+
+Follow this strict order to maintain consistency:
+
+1. Create `tools/your_tool.py` with:
+   - Handler function (sync or async) returning a JSON string via `json.dumps()`
+   - `check_*_requirements()` function to verify dependencies (e.g., API keys)
+   - Schema definition following OpenAI function-calling format
+
+2. Export in `tools/__init__.py`:
+   - Import the handler and check function
+   - Add to `__all__` list
+
+3. Register in `model_tools.py`:
+   - Create `get_*_tool_definitions()` function or add to existing
+   - Add routing in `handle_function_call()` dispatcher
+   - Update `get_all_tool_names()` with the tool name
+   - Update `get_toolset_for_tool()` mapping
+   - Update `get_available_toolsets()` and `check_toolset_requirements()`
+
+4. Add to toolset in `toolsets.py`:
+   - Add to existing toolset or create new one in TOOLSETS dict
+
+5. Optionally add to `toolset_distributions.py` for batch processing
+
+## Tool Implementation Pattern
+
+```python
+# tools/example_tool.py
+import json
+import os
+
+def check_example_requirements() -> bool:
+    """Check if required API keys/dependencies are available."""
+    return bool(os.getenv("EXAMPLE_API_KEY"))
+
+def example_tool(param: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:
+    """Execute the tool and return JSON string result."""
+    try:
+        result = {"success": True, "data": "..."}
+        return json.dumps(result, ensure_ascii=False)
+    except Exception as e:
+        return json.dumps({"error": str(e)}, ensure_ascii=False)
+```
+
+All tool handlers MUST return a JSON string. Never return raw dicts.
+
+## Stateful Tools
+
+Tools that maintain state (terminal, browser) require:
+- `task_id` parameter for session isolation between concurrent tasks
+- `cleanup_*()` function to release resources
+- Cleanup is called automatically in run_agent.py after conversation completes
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+API keys are loaded from `.env` file in repo root:
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` - Main LLM API access (primary provider)
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` - Web search/extract tools
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` / `BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID` - Browser automation
+- `FAL_KEY` - Image generation (FLUX model)
+- `NOUS_API_KEY` - Vision and Mixture-of-Agents tools
+
+Terminal tool configuration (can also be set in `cli-config.yaml`):
+- `TERMINAL_ENV` - Backend: local, docker, singularity, modal, or ssh
+- `TERMINAL_CWD` - Working directory
+- `TERMINAL_SSH_HOST`, `TERMINAL_SSH_USER`, `TERMINAL_SSH_KEY` - For SSH backend
+
+## Agent Loop (run_agent.py)
+
+The AIAgent class handles:
+- Processing enabled toolsets to provide to the model
+- Piping prompts to the agent
+- Looping LLM calls when tools are invoked, until natural language response
+- Returning the final response
+
+Uses OpenAI-compatible API (primarily OpenRouter) with the OpenAI Python SDK.
+
+## Reasoning Model Support
+
+For models that support chain-of-thought reasoning:
+- Extract `reasoning_content` from API responses
+- Store in `assistant_msg["reasoning"]` for trajectory export
+- Pass back via `reasoning_content` field on subsequent turns
+
+## Trajectory Format
+
+Conversations are saved in ShareGPT format for training:
+```json
+{"from": "system", "value": "System prompt with <tools>...</tools>"}
+{"from": "human", "value": "User message"}
+{"from": "gpt", "value": "<think>reasoning</think>\n<tool_call>{...}</tool_call>"}
+{"from": "tool", "value": "<tool_response>{...}</tool_response>"}
+{"from": "gpt", "value": "Final response"}
+```
+
+Tool calls use `<tool_call>` XML tags, responses use `<tool_response>` tags, reasoning uses `<think>` tags.
+
+## Batch Processing (batch_runner.py)
+
+For processing multiple prompts:
+- Parallel execution with multiprocessing
+- Content-based resume for fault tolerance (matches on prompt text, not indices)
+- Toolset distributions control probabilistic tool availability per prompt
+- Output: `data/<run_name>/trajectories.jsonl` (combined) + individual batch files
+
+## Logging
+
+Trajectories restructure tools as a system prompt for storage in a format suitable for later training use.
+
+## Skills System
+
+Skills are on-demand knowledge documents the agent can load. Located in `skills/` directory:
+
+```
+skills/
+├── mlops/                    # Category folder
+│   ├── axolotl/             # Skill folder
+│   │   ├── SKILL.md         # Main instructions (required)
+│   │   ├── references/      # Additional docs, API specs
+│   │   └── templates/       # Output formats, configs
+│   └── vllm/
+│       └── SKILL.md
+└── example-skill/
+    └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+**Progressive disclosure** (token-efficient):
+1. `skills_categories()` - List category names (~50 tokens)
+2. `skills_list(category)` - Name + description per skill (~3k tokens)
+3. `skill_view(name)` - Full content + tags + linked files
+
+SKILL.md files use YAML frontmatter:
+```yaml
+---
+name: skill-name
+description: Brief description for listing
+tags: [tag1, tag2]
+related_skills: [other-skill]
+version: 1.0.0
+---
+# Skill Content...
+```
+
+Tool files: `tools/skills_tool.py` → `model_tools.py` → `toolsets.py`

-# OpenAI-Compatible API Server for Hermes Agent
-
-## Motivation
-
-Every major chat frontend (Open WebUI 126k★, LobeChat 73k★, LibreChat 34k★,
-AnythingLLM 56k★, NextChat 87k★, ChatBox 39k★, Jan 26k★, HF Chat-UI 8k★,
-big-AGI 7k★) connects to backends via the OpenAI-compatible REST API with
-SSE streaming. By exposing this endpoint, hermes-agent becomes instantly
-usable as a backend for all of them — no custom adapters needed.
-
-## What It Enables
-
-```
-┌──────────────────┐

-└──────────────────┘                                        └─────────────────┘
-```
-
-A user would:
-1. Set `API_SERVER_ENABLED=true` in `~/.hermes/.env`
-2. Run `hermes gateway` (API server starts alongside Telegram/Discord/etc.)
-3. Point Open WebUI (or any frontend) at `http://localhost:8642/v1`
-4. Chat with hermes-agent through any OpenAI-compatible UI
-
-## Endpoints
-
-| Method | Path | Purpose |
-|--------|------|---------|
-| POST | `/v1/chat/completions` | Chat with the agent (streaming + non-streaming) |
-| GET | `/v1/models` | List available "models" (returns hermes-agent as a model) |
-| GET | `/health` | Health check |
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Option A: Gateway Platform Adapter (recommended)
-
-Create `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` as a new platform adapter that
-extends `BasePlatformAdapter`. This is the cleanest approach because:
-
-- Reuses all gateway infrastructure (session management, auth, context building)
-- Runs in the same async loop as other adapters
-- Gets message handling, interrupt support, and session persistence for free
-- Follows the established pattern (like Telegram, Discord, etc.)
-- Uses `aiohttp.web` (already a dependency) for the HTTP server
-
-The adapter would start an `aiohttp.web.Application` server in `connect()`
-and route incoming HTTP requests through the standard `handle_message()` pipeline.
-
-### Option B: Standalone Component
-
-A separate HTTP server class in `gateway/api_server.py` that creates its own
-AIAgent instances directly. Simpler but duplicates session/auth logic.
-
-**Recommendation: Option A** — fits the existing architecture, less code to
-maintain, gets all gateway features for free.
-
-## Request/Response Format
-
-### Chat Completions (non-streaming)
-
-```
-POST /v1/chat/completions
-Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "model": "hermes-agent",
-  "messages": [
-    {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
-    {"role": "user", "content": "What files are in the current directory?"}
-  ],
-  "stream": false,
-  "temperature": 0.7
-}
-```
-
-Response:
-```json
-{
-  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
-  "object": "chat.completion",
-  "created": 1710000000,
-  "model": "hermes-agent",
-  "choices": [{
-    "index": 0,
-    "message": {
-      "role": "assistant",
-      "content": "Here are the files in the current directory:\n..."
-    },
-    "finish_reason": "stop"
-  }],
-  "usage": {
-    "prompt_tokens": 50,
-    "completion_tokens": 200,
-    "total_tokens": 250
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Chat Completions (streaming)
-
-Same request with `"stream": true`. Response is SSE:
-
-```
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant"},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"Here "},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"are "},"finish_reason":null}]}
-
-data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
-
-data: [DONE]
-```
-
-### Models List
-
-```
-GET /v1/models
-Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
-```
-
-Response:
-```json
-{
-  "object": "list",
-  "data": [{
-    "id": "hermes-agent",
-    "object": "model",
-    "created": 1710000000,
-    "owned_by": "hermes-agent"
-  }]
-}
-```
-
-## Key Design Decisions
-
-### 1. Session Management
-
-The OpenAI API is stateless — each request includes the full conversation.
-But hermes-agent sessions have persistent state (memory, skills, tool context).
-
-**Approach: Hybrid**
-- Default: Stateless. Each request is independent. The `messages` array IS
-  the conversation. No session persistence between requests.
-- Opt-in persistent sessions via `X-Session-ID` header. When provided, the
-  server maintains session state across requests (conversation history,
-  memory context, tool state). This enables richer agent behavior.
-- The session ID also enables interrupt support — a subsequent request with
-  the same session ID while one is running triggers an interrupt.
-
-### 2. Streaming
-
-The agent's `run_conversation()` is synchronous and returns the full response.
-For real SSE streaming, we need to emit chunks as they're generated.
-
-**Phase 1 (MVP):** Run agent in a thread, return the complete response as
-a single SSE chunk + `[DONE]`. This works with all frontends — they just see
-a fast single-chunk response. Not true streaming but functional.
-
-**Phase 2:** Add a response callback to AIAgent that emits text chunks as the
-LLM generates them. The API server captures these via a queue and streams them
-as SSE events. This gives real token-by-token streaming.
-
-**Phase 3:** Stream tool execution progress too — emit tool call/result events
-as the agent works, giving frontends visibility into what the agent is doing.
-
-### 3. Tool Transparency
-
-Two modes:
-- **Opaque (default):** Frontends see only the final response. Tool calls
-  happen server-side and are invisible. Best for general-purpose UIs.
-- **Transparent (opt-in via header):** Tool calls are emitted as OpenAI-format
-  tool_call/tool_result messages in the stream. Useful for agent-aware frontends.
-
-### 4. Authentication
-
-- Bearer token via `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header
-- Token configured via `API_SERVER_KEY` env var
-- Optional: allow unauthenticated local-only access (127.0.0.1 bind)
-- Follows the same pattern as other platform adapters
-
-### 5. Model Mapping
-
-Frontends send `"model": "hermes-agent"` (or whatever). The actual LLM model
-used is configured server-side in config.yaml. The API server maps any
-requested model name to the configured hermes-agent model.
-
-Optionally, allow model passthrough: if the frontend sends
-`"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"`, the agent uses that model. Controlled
-by a config flag.
-
-## Configuration
-
-```yaml
-# In config.yaml
-api_server:
-  enabled: true
-  port: 8642
-  host: "127.0.0.1"        # localhost only by default
-  key: "your-secret-key"   # or via API_SERVER_KEY env var
-  allow_model_override: false  # let clients choose the model
-  max_concurrent: 5         # max simultaneous requests
-```
-
-Environment variables:
-```bash
-API_SERVER_ENABLED=true
-API_SERVER_PORT=8642
-API_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
-API_SERVER_KEY=your-secret-key
-```
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: MVP (non-streaming) — PR
-
-1. `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` — new adapter
-   - aiohttp.web server with endpoints:
-     - `POST /v1/chat/completions` — Chat Completions API (universal compat)
-     - `POST /v1/responses` — Responses API (server-side state, tool preservation)
-     - `GET /v1/models` — list available models
-     - `GET /health` — health check
-   - Bearer token auth middleware
-   - Non-streaming responses (run agent, return full result)
-   - Chat Completions: stateless, messages array is the conversation
-   - Responses API: server-side conversation storage via previous_response_id
-     - Store full internal conversation (including tool calls) keyed by response ID
-     - On subsequent requests, reconstruct full context from stored chain
-   - Frontend system prompt layered on top of hermes-agent's core prompt
-
-2. `gateway/config.py` — add `Platform.API_SERVER` enum + config
-
-3. `gateway/run.py` — register adapter in `_create_adapter()`
-
-4. Tests in `tests/gateway/test_api_server.py`
-
-### Phase 2: SSE Streaming
-
-1. Add response streaming to both endpoints
-   - Chat Completions: `choices[0].delta.content` SSE format
-   - Responses API: semantic events (response.output_text.delta, etc.)
-   - Run agent in thread, collect output via callback queue
-   - Handle client disconnect (cancel agent)
-
-2. Add `stream_callback` parameter to `AIAgent.run_conversation()`
-
-### Phase 3: Enhanced Features
-
-1. Tool call transparency mode (opt-in)
-2. Model passthrough/override
-3. Concurrent request limiting
-4. Usage tracking / rate limiting
-5. CORS headers for browser-based frontends
-6. GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
-7. DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
-
-## Files Changed
-
-| File | Change |
-|------|--------|
-| `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` | NEW — main adapter (~300 lines) |
-| `gateway/config.py` | Add Platform.API_SERVER + config (~20 lines) |
-| `gateway/run.py` | Register adapter in _create_adapter() (~10 lines) |
-| `tests/gateway/test_api_server.py` | NEW — tests (~200 lines) |
-| `cli-config.yaml.example` | Add api_server section |
-| `README.md` | Mention API server in platform list |
-
-## Compatibility Matrix
-
-Once implemented, hermes-agent works as a drop-in backend for:
-
-| Frontend | Stars | How to Connect |
-|----------|-------|---------------|
-| Open WebUI | 126k | Settings → Connections → Add OpenAI API, URL: `http://localhost:8642/v1` |
-| NextChat | 87k | BASE_URL env var |
-| LobeChat | 73k | Custom provider endpoint |
-| AnythingLLM | 56k | LLM Provider → Generic OpenAI |

-# Streaming LLM Response Support for Hermes Agent
-
-## Overview
-
-Add token-by-token streaming of LLM responses across all platforms. When enabled,
-users see the response typing out live instead of waiting for the full generation.
-Streaming is opt-in via config, defaults to off, and all existing non-streaming
-code paths remain intact as the default.
-
-## Design Principles
-
-1. **Feature-flagged**: `streaming.enabled: true` in config.yaml. Off by default.
-   When off, all existing code paths are unchanged — zero risk to current behavior.
-2. **Callback-based**: A simple `stream_callback(text_delta: str)` function injected
-   into AIAgent. The agent doesn't know or care what the consumer does with tokens.
-3. **Graceful degradation**: If the provider doesn't support streaming, or streaming
-   fails for any reason, silently fall back to the non-streaming path.
-4. **Platform-agnostic core**: The streaming mechanism in AIAgent works the same
-   regardless of whether the consumer is CLI, Telegram, Discord, or the API server.

-```
-
-The agent runs in a thread. The callback puts tokens into a thread-safe queue.
-Each consumer reads the queue in its own context (async task, main thread, etc.).
-
----
-
-## Configuration
-
-### config.yaml
-
-```yaml
-streaming:
-  enabled: false          # Master switch. Default off.
-  # Per-platform overrides (optional):
-  # cli: true             # Override for CLI only
-  # telegram: true        # Override for Telegram only
-  # discord: false        # Keep Discord non-streaming
-  # api_server: true      # Override for API server
-```
-
-### Environment variables
-
-```
-HERMES_STREAMING_ENABLED=true    # Master switch via env
-```
-
-### How the flag is read
-
-- **CLI**: `load_cli_config()` reads `streaming.enabled`, sets env var. AIAgent
-  checks at init time.
-- **Gateway**: `_run_agent()` reads config, decides whether to pass
-  `stream_callback` to the AIAgent constructor.
-- **API server**: For Chat Completions `stream=true` requests, always uses streaming
-  regardless of config (the client is explicitly requesting it). For non-stream
-  requests, uses config.
-
-### Precedence
-
-1. API server: client's `stream` field overrides everything
-2. Per-platform config override (e.g., `streaming.telegram: true`)
-3. Master `streaming.enabled` flag
-4. Default: off
-
----
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Core streaming infrastructure in AIAgent
-
-**File: run_agent.py**
-
-#### 1a. Add stream_callback parameter to __init__ (~5 lines)
-
-```python
-def __init__(self, ..., stream_callback: callable = None, ...):
-    self.stream_callback = stream_callback
-```
-
-No other init changes. The callback is optional — when None, everything
-works exactly as before.
-
-#### 1b. Add _run_streaming_chat_completion() method (~65 lines)
-
-New method for Chat Completions API streaming:
-
-```python
-def _run_streaming_chat_completion(self, api_kwargs: dict):
-    """Stream a chat completion, emitting text tokens via stream_callback.
-    
-    Returns a fake response object compatible with the non-streaming code path.
-    Falls back to non-streaming on any error.
-    """
-    stream_kwargs = dict(api_kwargs)
-    stream_kwargs["stream"] = True
-    stream_kwargs["stream_options"] = {"include_usage": True}
-    
-    accumulated_content = []
-    accumulated_tool_calls = {}  # index -> {id, name, arguments}
-    final_usage = None
-    
-    try:
-        stream = self.client.chat.completions.create(**stream_kwargs)
-        
-        for chunk in stream:
-            if not chunk.choices:
-                # Usage-only chunk (final)
-                if chunk.usage:
-                    final_usage = chunk.usage
-                continue
-            
-            delta = chunk.choices[0].delta
-            
-            # Text content — emit via callback
-            if delta.content:
-                accumulated_content.append(delta.content)
-                if self.stream_callback:
-                    try:
-                        self.stream_callback(delta.content)
-                    except Exception:
-                        pass
-            
-            # Tool call deltas — accumulate silently
-            if delta.tool_calls:
-                for tc_delta in delta.tool_calls:
-                    idx = tc_delta.index
-                    if idx not in accumulated_tool_calls:
-                        accumulated_tool_calls[idx] = {
-                            "id": tc_delta.id or "",
-                            "name": "", "arguments": ""

-                        if tc_delta.function.arguments:
-                            accumulated_tool_calls[idx]["arguments"] += tc_delta.function.arguments
-        
-        # Build fake response compatible with existing code
-        tool_calls = []
-        for idx in sorted(accumulated_tool_calls):
-            tc = accumulated_tool_calls[idx]
-            if tc["name"]:
-                tool_calls.append(SimpleNamespace(
-                    id=tc["id"], type="function",
-                    function=SimpleNamespace(name=tc["name"], arguments=tc["arguments"]),
-                ))
-        
-        return SimpleNamespace(
-            choices=[SimpleNamespace(
-                message=SimpleNamespace(
-                    content="".join(accumulated_content) or "",

-            usage=final_usage,
-            model=self.model,
-        )
-    
-    except Exception as e:
-        logger.debug("Streaming failed, falling back to non-streaming: %s", e)
-        return self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
-```
-
-#### 1c. Modify _run_codex_stream() for Responses API (~10 lines)
-
-The method already iterates the stream. Add callback emission:
-
-```python
-def _run_codex_stream(self, api_kwargs: dict):
-    with self.client.responses.stream(**api_kwargs) as stream:
-        for event in stream:
-            # Emit text deltas if streaming callback is set
-            if self.stream_callback and hasattr(event, 'type'):
-                if event.type == 'response.output_text.delta':
-                    try:
-                        self.stream_callback(event.delta)
-                    except Exception:
-                        pass
-        return stream.get_final_response()
-```
-
-#### 1d. Modify _interruptible_api_call() (~5 lines)
-
-Add the streaming branch:
-
-```python
-def _call():
-    try:
-        if self.api_mode == "codex_responses":
-            result["response"] = self._run_codex_stream(api_kwargs)
-        elif self.stream_callback is not None:
-            result["response"] = self._run_streaming_chat_completion(api_kwargs)
-        else:
-            result["response"] = self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
-    except Exception as e:
-        result["error"] = e
-```

-#### 1e. Signal end-of-stream to consumers (~5 lines)
-
-After the API call returns, signal the callback that streaming is done
-so consumers can finalize (remove cursor, close SSE, etc.):
-
-```python
-# In run_conversation(), after _interruptible_api_call returns:
-if self.stream_callback:
-    try:
-        self.stream_callback(None)  # None = end of stream signal
-    except Exception:
-        pass
-```
-
-Consumers check: `if delta is None: finalize()`
-
-**Tests for Phase 1:** (~150 lines)
-- Test _run_streaming_chat_completion with mocked stream
-- Test fallback to non-streaming on error
-- Test tool_call accumulation during streaming
-- Test stream_callback receives correct deltas
-- Test None signal at end of stream
-- Test streaming disabled when callback is None
-

-
-### Phase 2: Gateway consumers (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
-
-**File: gateway/run.py**
-
-#### 2a. Read streaming config (~15 lines)
-
-In `_run_agent()`, before creating the AIAgent:
-
-```python
-# Read streaming config
-_streaming_enabled = False
-try:
-    # Check per-platform override first
-    platform_key = source.platform.value if source.platform else ""
-    _stream_cfg = {}  # loaded from config.yaml streaming section
-    if _stream_cfg.get(platform_key) is not None:
-        _streaming_enabled = bool(_stream_cfg[platform_key])
-    else:
-        _streaming_enabled = bool(_stream_cfg.get("enabled", False))
-except Exception:
-    pass
-# Env var override
-if os.getenv("HERMES_STREAMING_ENABLED", "").lower() in ("true", "1", "yes"):
-    _streaming_enabled = True
-```
-
-#### 2b. Set up queue + callback (~15 lines)
-
-```python
-_stream_q = None
-_stream_done = None
-_stream_msg_id = [None]  # mutable ref for the async task
-
-if _streaming_enabled:
-    import queue as _q
-    _stream_q = _q.Queue()
-    _stream_done = threading.Event()
-    
-    def _on_token(delta):
-        if delta is None:
-            _stream_done.set()
-        else:
-            _stream_q.put(delta)
-```
-
-Pass `stream_callback=_on_token` to the AIAgent constructor.
-
-#### 2c. Telegram/Discord stream preview task (~50 lines)
-
-```python
-async def stream_preview():
-    """Progressively edit a message with streaming tokens."""
-    if not _stream_q:
-        return
-    adapter = self.adapters.get(source.platform)
-    if not adapter:
-        return
-    
-    accumulated = []
-    token_count = 0
-    last_edit = 0.0
-    MIN_TOKENS = 20          # Don't show until enough context
-    EDIT_INTERVAL = 1.5      # Respect Telegram rate limits
-    
-    try:
-        while not _stream_done.is_set():
-            try:
-                chunk = _stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
-                accumulated.append(chunk)
-                token_count += 1
-            except queue.Empty:
-                continue
-            
-            now = time.monotonic()
-            if token_count >= MIN_TOKENS and (now - last_edit) >= EDIT_INTERVAL:
-                preview = "".join(accumulated) + " ▌"
-                if _stream_msg_id[0] is None:
-                    r = await adapter.send(
-                        chat_id=source.chat_id,
-                        content=preview,
-                        metadata=_thread_metadata,
-                    )
-                    if r.success and r.message_id:
-                        _stream_msg_id[0] = r.message_id
-                else:
-                    await adapter.edit_message(
-                        chat_id=source.chat_id,
-                        message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
-                        content=preview,
-                    )
-                last_edit = now
-        
-        # Drain remaining tokens
-        while not _stream_q.empty():
-            accumulated.append(_stream_q.get_nowait())
-        
-        # Final edit — remove cursor, show complete text
-        if _stream_msg_id[0] and accumulated:
-            await adapter.edit_message(
-                chat_id=source.chat_id,
-                message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
-                content="".join(accumulated),
-            )
-    
-    except asyncio.CancelledError:
-        # Clean up on cancel
-        if _stream_msg_id[0] and accumulated:
-            try:
-                await adapter.edit_message(
-                    chat_id=source.chat_id,
-                    message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
-                    content="".join(accumulated),
-                )
-            except Exception:
-                pass
-    except Exception as e:
-        logger.debug("stream_preview error: %s", e)
-```
-
-#### 2d. Skip final send if already streamed (~10 lines)
-
-In `_process_message_background()` (base.py), after getting the response,
-if streaming was active and `_stream_msg_id[0]` is set, the final response
-was already delivered via progressive edits. Skip the normal `self.send()`
-call to avoid duplicating the message.
-
-This is the most delicate integration point — we need to communicate from
-the gateway's `_run_agent` back to the base adapter's response sender that
-the response was already delivered. Options:
-
-- **Option A**: Return a special marker in the result dict:
-  `result["_streamed_msg_id"] = _stream_msg_id[0]`
-  The base adapter checks this and skips `send()`.
-  
-- **Option B**: Edit the already-sent message with the final response
-  (which may differ slightly from accumulated tokens due to think-block
-  stripping, etc.) and don't send a new one.
-
-- **Option C**: The stream preview task handles the FULL final response
-  (including any post-processing), and the handler returns None to skip
-  the normal send path.
-
-Recommended: **Option A** — cleanest separation. The result dict already
-carries metadata; adding one more field is low-risk.
-
-**Platform-specific considerations:**
-
-| Platform | Edit support | Rate limits | Streaming approach |
-|----------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|
-| Telegram | ✅ edit_message_text | ~20 edits/min | Edit every 1.5s |
-| Discord | ✅ message.edit | 5 edits/5s per message | Edit every 1.2s |
-| Slack | ✅ chat.update | Tier 3 (~50/min) | Edit every 1.5s |
-| WhatsApp | ❌ no edit support | N/A | Skip streaming, use normal path |
-| HomeAssistant | ❌ no edit | N/A | Skip streaming |
-| API Server | ✅ SSE native | No limit | Real SSE events |
-
-WhatsApp and HomeAssistant fall back to non-streaming automatically because
-they don't support message editing.
-
-**Tests for Phase 2:** (~100 lines)
-- Test stream_preview sends/edits correctly
-- Test skip-final-send when streaming delivered
-- Test WhatsApp/HA graceful fallback
-- Test streaming disabled per-platform config
-- Test thread_id metadata forwarded in stream messages
-
----
-
-### Phase 3: CLI streaming
-
-**File: cli.py**
-
-#### 3a. Set up callback in the CLI chat loop (~20 lines)
-
-In `_chat_once()` or wherever the agent is invoked:
-
-```python
-if streaming_enabled:
-    _stream_q = queue.Queue()
-    _stream_done = threading.Event()
-    
-    def _cli_stream_callback(delta):
-        if delta is None:
-            _stream_done.set()
-        else:
-            _stream_q.put(delta)
-    
-    agent.stream_callback = _cli_stream_callback
-```
-
-#### 3b. Token display thread/task (~30 lines)
-
-Start a thread that reads the queue and prints tokens:
-
-```python
-def _stream_display():
-    """Print tokens to terminal as they arrive."""
-    first_token = True
-    while not _stream_done.is_set():
-        try:
-            delta = _stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
-        except queue.Empty:
-            continue
-        if first_token:
-            # Print response box top border
-            _cprint(f"\n{top}")
-            first_token = False
-        sys.stdout.write(delta)
-        sys.stdout.flush()
-    # Drain remaining
-    while not _stream_q.empty():
-        sys.stdout.write(_stream_q.get_nowait())
-    sys.stdout.flush()
-    # Print bottom border
-    _cprint(f"\n\n{bot}")
-```
-
-**Integration challenge: prompt_toolkit**
-
-The CLI uses prompt_toolkit which controls the terminal. Writing directly
-to stdout while prompt_toolkit is active can cause display corruption.
-The existing KawaiiSpinner already solves this by using prompt_toolkit's
-`patch_stdout` context. The streaming display would need to do the same.
-
-Alternative: use `_cprint()` for each token chunk (routes through
-prompt_toolkit's renderer). But this might be slow for individual tokens.
-
-Recommended approach: accumulate tokens in small batches (e.g., every 50ms)
-and `_cprint()` the batch. This balances display responsiveness with
-prompt_toolkit compatibility.
-
-**Tests for Phase 3:** (~50 lines)
-- Test CLI streaming callback setup
-- Test response box borders with streaming
-- Test fallback when streaming disabled
-
----
-
-### Phase 4: API Server real streaming
-
-**File: gateway/platforms/api_server.py**
-
-Replace the pseudo-streaming `_write_sse_chat_completion()` with real
-token-by-token SSE when the agent supports it.
-
-#### 4a. Wire streaming callback for stream=true requests (~20 lines)
-
-```python
-if stream:
-    _stream_q = queue.Queue()
-    
-    def _api_stream_callback(delta):
-        _stream_q.put(delta)  # None = done
-    
-    # Pass callback to _run_agent
-    result, usage = await self._run_agent(
-        ..., stream_callback=_api_stream_callback,
-    )
-```
-
-#### 4b. Real SSE writer (~40 lines)
-
-```python
-async def _write_real_sse(self, request, completion_id, model, stream_q):
-    response = web.StreamResponse(
-        headers={"Content-Type": "text/event-stream", "Cache-Control": "no-cache"},
-    )
-    await response.prepare(request)
-    
-    # Role chunk
-    await response.write(...)
-    
-    # Stream content chunks as they arrive
-    while True:
-        try:
-            delta = await asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(
-                None, lambda: stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
-            )
-        except queue.Empty:
-            continue
-        
-        if delta is None:  # End of stream
-            break
-        
-        chunk = {"id": completion_id, "object": "chat.completion.chunk", ...
-                 "choices": [{"delta": {"content": delta}, ...}]}
-        await response.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
-    
-    # Finish + [DONE]
-    await response.write(...)
-    await response.write(b"data: [DONE]\n\n")
-    return response
-```
-
-**Challenge: concurrent execution**
-
-The agent runs in a thread executor. SSE writing happens in the async event
-loop. The queue bridges them. But `_run_agent()` currently awaits the full
-result before returning. For real streaming, we need to start the agent in
-the background and stream tokens while it runs:
-
-```python
-# Start agent in background
-agent_task = asyncio.create_task(self._run_agent_async(...))
-
-# Stream tokens while agent runs
-await self._write_real_sse(request, ..., stream_q)
-
-# Agent is done by now (stream_q received None)
-result, usage = await agent_task
-```
-
-This requires splitting `_run_agent` into an async version that doesn't
-block waiting for the result, or running it in a separate task.
-
-**Responses API SSE format:**
-
-For `/v1/responses` with `stream=true`, the SSE events are different:
-
-```
-event: response.output_text.delta
-data: {"type":"response.output_text.delta","delta":"Hello"}
-
-event: response.completed  
-data: {"type":"response.completed","response":{...}}
-```
-
-This needs a separate SSE writer that emits Responses API format events.
-
-**Tests for Phase 4:** (~80 lines)
-- Test real SSE streaming with mocked agent
-- Test SSE event format (Chat Completions vs Responses)
-- Test client disconnect during streaming
-- Test fallback to pseudo-streaming when callback not available
-
----
-
-## Integration Issues & Edge Cases
-
-### 1. Tool calls during streaming
-
-When the model returns tool calls instead of text, no text tokens are emitted.
-The stream_callback is simply never called with text. After tools execute, the
-next API call may produce the final text response — streaming picks up again.
-
-The stream preview task needs to handle this: if no tokens arrive during a
-tool-call round, don't send/edit any message. The tool progress messages
-continue working as before.
-
-### 2. Duplicate messages
-
-The biggest risk: the agent sends the final response normally (via the
-existing send path) AND the stream preview already showed it. The user
-sees the response twice.
-
-Prevention: when streaming is active and tokens were delivered, the final
-response send must be suppressed. The `result["_streamed_msg_id"]` marker
-tells the base adapter to skip its normal send.
-
-### 3. Response post-processing
-
-The final response may differ from the accumulated streamed tokens:
-- Think block stripping (`<think>...</think>` removed)
-- Trailing whitespace cleanup
-- Tool result media tag appending
-
-The stream preview shows raw tokens. The final edit should use the
-post-processed version. This means the final edit (removing the cursor)
-should use the post-processed `final_response`, not just the accumulated
-stream text.
-
-### 4. Context compression during streaming
-
-If the agent triggers context compression mid-conversation, the streaming
-tokens from BEFORE compression are from a different context than those
-after. This isn't a problem in practice — compression happens between
-API calls, not during streaming.
-
-### 5. Interrupt during streaming
-
-User sends a new message while streaming → interrupt. The stream is killed
-(HTTP connection closed), accumulated tokens are shown as-is (no cursor),
-and the interrupt message is processed normally. This is already handled by
-`_interruptible_api_call` closing the client.
-
-### 6. Multi-model / fallback
-
-If the primary model fails and the agent falls back to a different model,
-streaming state resets. The fallback call may or may not support streaming.
-The graceful fallback in `_run_streaming_chat_completion` handles this.
-
-### 7. Rate limiting on edits
-
-Telegram: ~20 edits/minute (~1 every 3 seconds to be safe)
-Discord: 5 edits per 5 seconds per message
-Slack: ~50 API calls/minute
-
-The 1.5s edit interval is conservative enough for all platforms. If we get
-429 rate limit errors on edits, just skip that edit cycle and try next time.

-## Rollout Plan
-
-1. **Phase 1** (core): Merge to main. Streaming disabled by default.
-   Zero impact on existing behavior. Can be tested with env var.
-
-2. **Phase 2** (gateway): Merge to main. Test on Telegram manually.
-   Enable per-platform: `streaming.telegram: true` in config.
-
-3. **Phase 3** (CLI): Merge to main. Test in terminal.
-   Enable: `streaming.cli: true` or `streaming.enabled: true`.
-
-4. **Phase 4** (API server): Merge to main. Test with Open WebUI.
-   Auto-enabled when client sends `stream: true`.
-
-Each phase is independently mergeable and testable. Streaming stays
-off by default throughout. Once all phases are stable, consider
-changing the default to enabled.

-        """Full interface — returns dict with final_response + messages."""
-```
-
-### Agent Loop
-
-The core loop is inside `run_conversation()` — entirely synchronous:
-
-```python
-while api_call_count < self.max_iterations and self.iteration_budget.remaining > 0:
-    response = client.chat.completions.create(model=model, messages=messages, tools=tool_schemas)
-    if response.tool_calls:
-        for tool_call in response.tool_calls:
-            result = handle_function_call(tool_call.name, tool_call.args, task_id)
-            messages.append(tool_result_message(result))
-        api_call_count += 1
-    else:
-        return response.content
-```
-
-Messages follow OpenAI format: `{"role": "system/user/assistant/tool", ...}`. Reasoning content is stored in `assistant_msg["reasoning"]`.

-## CLI Architecture (cli.py)
-
-- **Rich** for banner/panels, **prompt_toolkit** for input with autocomplete
-- **KawaiiSpinner** (`agent/display.py`) — animated faces during API calls, `┊` activity feed for tool results
-- `load_cli_config()` in cli.py merges hardcoded defaults + user config YAML
-- **Skin engine** (`hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`) — data-driven CLI theming; initialized from `display.skin` config key at startup; skins customize banner colors, spinner faces/verbs/wings, tool prefix, response box, branding text
-- `process_command()` is a method on `HermesCLI` — dispatches on canonical command name resolved via `resolve_command()` from the central registry
-- Skill slash commands: `agent/skill_commands.py` scans `~/.hermes/skills/`, injects as **user message** (not system prompt) to preserve prompt caching
-
-### Slash Command Registry (`hermes_cli/commands.py`)
-
-All slash commands are defined in a central `COMMAND_REGISTRY` list of `CommandDef` objects. Every downstream consumer derives from this registry automatically:
-
-- **CLI** — `process_command()` resolves aliases via `resolve_command()`, dispatches on canonical name
-- **Gateway** — `GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS` frozenset for hook emission, `resolve_command()` for dispatch
-- **Gateway help** — `gateway_help_lines()` generates `/help` output
-- **Telegram** — `telegram_bot_commands()` generates the BotCommand menu
-- **Slack** — `slack_subcommand_map()` generates `/hermes` subcommand routing
-- **Autocomplete** — `COMMANDS` flat dict feeds `SlashCommandCompleter`
-- **CLI help** — `COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY` dict feeds `show_help()`
-
-### Adding a Slash Command
-
-1. Add a `CommandDef` entry to `COMMAND_REGISTRY` in `hermes_cli/commands.py`:
-```python
-CommandDef("mycommand", "Description of what it does", "Session",
-           aliases=("mc",), args_hint="[arg]"),
-```
-2. Add handler in `HermesCLI.process_command()` in `cli.py`:
-```python
-elif canonical == "mycommand":
-    self._handle_mycommand(cmd_original)
-```
-3. If the command is available in the gateway, add a handler in `gateway/run.py`:
-```python
-if canonical == "mycommand":
-    return await self._handle_mycommand(event)
-```
-4. For persistent settings, use `save_config_value()` in `cli.py`
-
-**CommandDef fields:**
-- `name` — canonical name without slash (e.g. `"background"`)
-- `description` — human-readable description
-- `category` — one of `"Session"`, `"Configuration"`, `"Tools & Skills"`, `"Info"`, `"Exit"`
-- `aliases` — tuple of alternative names (e.g. `("bg",)`)
-- `args_hint` — argument placeholder shown in help (e.g. `"<prompt>"`, `"[name]"`)
-- `cli_only` — only available in the interactive CLI
-- `gateway_only` — only available in messaging platforms
-- `gateway_config_gate` — config dotpath (e.g. `"display.tool_progress_command"`); when set on a `cli_only` command, the command becomes available in the gateway if the config value is truthy. `GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS` always includes config-gated commands so the gateway can dispatch them; help/menus only show them when the gate is open.
-
-**Adding an alias** requires only adding it to the `aliases` tuple on the existing `CommandDef`. No other file changes needed — dispatch, help text, Telegram menu, Slack mapping, and autocomplete all update automatically.
-
----
-
-## Adding New Tools
-
-Requires changes in **3 files**:
-
-**1. Create `tools/your_tool.py`:**
-```python
-import json, os
-from tools.registry import registry
-
-def check_requirements() -> bool:
-    return bool(os.getenv("EXAMPLE_API_KEY"))
-
-def example_tool(param: str, task_id: str = None) -> str:
-    return json.dumps({"success": True, "data": "..."})
-
-registry.register(
-    name="example_tool",
-    toolset="example",
-    schema={"name": "example_tool", "description": "...", "parameters": {...}},
-    handler=lambda args, **kw: example_tool(param=args.get("param", ""), task_id=kw.get("task_id")),
-    check_fn=check_requirements,
-    requires_env=["EXAMPLE_API_KEY"],
-)
-```
-
-**2. Add import** in `model_tools.py` `_discover_tools()` list.
-
-**3. Add to `toolsets.py`** — either `_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS` (all platforms) or a new toolset.
-
-The registry handles schema collection, dispatch, availability checking, and error wrapping. All handlers MUST return a JSON string.
-
-**Path references in tool schemas**: If the schema description mentions file paths (e.g. default output directories), use `display_hermes_home()` to make them profile-aware. The schema is generated at import time, which is after `_apply_profile_override()` sets `HERMES_HOME`.
-
-**State files**: If a tool stores persistent state (caches, logs, checkpoints), use `get_hermes_home()` for the base directory — never `Path.home() / ".hermes"`. This ensures each profile gets its own state.
-
-**Agent-level tools** (todo, memory): intercepted by `run_agent.py` before `handle_function_call()`. See `todo_tool.py` for the pattern.
-
----
-
-## Adding Configuration
-
-### config.yaml options:
-1. Add to `DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py`
-2. Bump `_config_version` (currently 5) to trigger migration for existing users
-
-### .env variables:
-1. Add to `OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS` in `hermes_cli/config.py` with metadata:
-```python
-"NEW_API_KEY": {
-    "description": "What it's for",
-    "prompt": "Display name",
-    "url": "https://...",
-    "password": True,
-    "category": "tool",  # provider, tool, messaging, setting
-},
-```
-
-### Config loaders (two separate systems):
-
-| Loader | Used by | Location |
-|--------|---------|----------|
-| `load_cli_config()` | CLI mode | `cli.py` |
-| `load_config()` | `hermes tools`, `hermes setup` | `hermes_cli/config.py` |
-| Direct YAML load | Gateway | `gateway/run.py` |
-
----
-
-## Skin/Theme System
-
-The skin engine (`hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`) provides data-driven CLI visual customization. Skins are **pure data** — no code changes needed to add a new skin.
-
-### Architecture
-
-```
-hermes_cli/skin_engine.py    # SkinConfig dataclass, built-in skins, YAML loader
-~/.hermes/skins/*.yaml       # User-installed custom skins (drop-in)
-```
-
-- `init_skin_from_config()` — called at CLI startup, reads `display.skin` from config
-- `get_active_skin()` — returns cached `SkinConfig` for the current skin
-- `set_active_skin(name)` — switches skin at runtime (used by `/skin` command)
-- `load_skin(name)` — loads from user skins first, then built-ins, then falls back to default
-- Missing skin values inherit from the `default` skin automatically
-
-### What skins customize
-
-| Element | Skin Key | Used By |
-|---------|----------|---------|
-| Banner panel border | `colors.banner_border` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner panel title | `colors.banner_title` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner section headers | `colors.banner_accent` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner dim text | `colors.banner_dim` | `banner.py` |
-| Banner body text | `colors.banner_text` | `banner.py` |
-| Response box border | `colors.response_border` | `cli.py` |
-| Spinner faces (waiting) | `spinner.waiting_faces` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner faces (thinking) | `spinner.thinking_faces` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner verbs | `spinner.thinking_verbs` | `display.py` |
-| Spinner wings (optional) | `spinner.wings` | `display.py` |
-| Tool output prefix | `tool_prefix` | `display.py` |
-| Per-tool emojis | `tool_emojis` | `display.py` → `get_tool_emoji()` |
-| Agent name | `branding.agent_name` | `banner.py`, `cli.py` |
-| Welcome message | `branding.welcome` | `cli.py` |
-| Response box label | `branding.response_label` | `cli.py` |
-| Prompt symbol | `branding.prompt_symbol` | `cli.py` |
-
-### Built-in skins
-
-- `default` — Classic Hermes gold/kawaii (the current look)
-- `ares` — Crimson/bronze war-god theme with custom spinner wings
-- `mono` — Clean grayscale monochrome
-- `slate` — Cool blue developer-focused theme
-
-### Adding a built-in skin
-
-Add to `_BUILTIN_SKINS` dict in `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`:
-
-```python
-"mytheme": {
-    "name": "mytheme",
-    "description": "Short description",
-    "colors": { ... },
-    "spinner": { ... },
-    "branding": { ... },
-    "tool_prefix": "┊",
-},
-```
-
-### User skins (YAML)
-
-Users create `~/.hermes/skins/<name>.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: cyberpunk
-description: Neon-soaked terminal theme
-
-colors:
-  banner_border: "#FF00FF"
-  banner_title: "#00FFFF"
-  banner_accent: "#FF1493"
-
-spinner:
-  thinking_verbs: ["jacking in", "decrypting", "uploading"]
-  wings:
-    - ["⟨⚡", "⚡⟩"]
-
-branding:
-  agent_name: "Cyber Agent"
-  response_label: " ⚡ Cyber "
-
-tool_prefix: "▏"
-```
-
-Activate with `/skin cyberpunk` or `display.skin: cyberpunk` in config.yaml.
-
----
-
-## Important Policies
-### Prompt Caching Must Not Break
-
-Hermes-Agent ensures caching remains valid throughout a conversation. **Do NOT implement changes that would:**
-- Alter past context mid-conversation
-- Change toolsets mid-conversation
-- Reload memories or rebuild system prompts mid-conversation
-
-Cache-breaking forces dramatically higher costs. The ONLY time we alter context is during context compression.
-
-### Working Directory Behavior
-- **CLI**: Uses current directory (`.` → `os.getcwd()`)
-- **Messaging**: Uses `MESSAGING_CWD` env var (default: home directory)
-
-### Background Process Notifications (Gateway)
-
-When `terminal(background=true, check_interval=...)` is used, the gateway runs a watcher that
-pushes status updates to the user's chat. Control verbosity with `display.background_process_notifications`
-in config.yaml (or `HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS` env var):
-
-- `all` — running-output updates + final message (default)
-- `result` — only the final completion message
-- `error` — only the final message when exit code != 0
-- `off` — no watcher messages at all
-
----
-
-## Profiles: Multi-Instance Support
-
-Hermes supports **profiles** — multiple fully isolated instances, each with its own
-`HERMES_HOME` directory (config, API keys, memory, sessions, skills, gateway, etc.).
-
-The core mechanism: `_apply_profile_override()` in `hermes_cli/main.py` sets
-`HERMES_HOME` before any module imports. All 119+ references to `get_hermes_home()`
-automatically scope to the active profile.
-
-### Rules for profile-safe code
-
-1. **Use `get_hermes_home()` for all HERMES_HOME paths.** Import from `hermes_constants`.
-   NEVER hardcode `~/.hermes` or `Path.home() / ".hermes"` in code that reads/writes state.
-   ```python
-   # GOOD
-   from hermes_constants import get_hermes_home
-   config_path = get_hermes_home() / "config.yaml"
-
-   # BAD — breaks profiles
-   config_path = Path.home() / ".hermes" / "config.yaml"
-   ```
-
-2. **Use `display_hermes_home()` for user-facing messages.** Import from `hermes_constants`.
-   This returns `~/.hermes` for default or `~/.hermes/profiles/<name>` for profiles.
-   ```python
-   # GOOD
-   from hermes_constants import display_hermes_home
-   print(f"Config saved to {display_hermes_home()}/config.yaml")
-
-   # BAD — shows wrong path for profiles
-   print("Config saved to ~/.hermes/config.yaml")
-   ```
-
-3. **Module-level constants are fine** — they cache `get_hermes_home()` at import time,
-   which is AFTER `_apply_profile_override()` sets the env var. Just use `get_hermes_home()`,
-   not `Path.home() / ".hermes"`.
-
-4. **Tests that mock `Path.home()` must also set `HERMES_HOME`** — since code now uses
-   `get_hermes_home()` (reads env var), not `Path.home() / ".hermes"`:
-   ```python
-   with patch.object(Path, "home", return_value=tmp_path), \
-        patch.dict(os.environ, {"HERMES_HOME": str(tmp_path / ".hermes")}):
-       ...
-   ```
-
-5. **Gateway platform adapters should use token locks** — if the adapter connects with
-   a unique credential (bot token, API key), call `acquire_scoped_lock()` from
-   `gateway.status` in the `connect()`/`start()` method and `release_scoped_lock()` in
-   `disconnect()`/`stop()`. This prevents two profiles from using the same credential.
-   See `gateway/platforms/telegram.py` for the canonical pattern.
-
-6. **Profile operations are HOME-anchored, not HERMES_HOME-anchored** — `_get_profiles_root()`
-   returns `Path.home() / ".hermes" / "profiles"`, NOT `get_hermes_home() / "profiles"`.
-   This is intentional — it lets `hermes -p coder profile list` see all profiles regardless
-   of which one is active.
-
-## Known Pitfalls
-
-### DO NOT hardcode `~/.hermes` paths
-Use `get_hermes_home()` from `hermes_constants` for code paths. Use `display_hermes_home()`
-for user-facing print/log messages. Hardcoding `~/.hermes` breaks profiles — each profile
-has its own `HERMES_HOME` directory. This was the source of 5 bugs fixed in PR #3575.
-
-### DO NOT use `simple_term_menu` for interactive menus
-Rendering bugs in tmux/iTerm2 — ghosting on scroll. Use `curses` (stdlib) instead. See `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` for the pattern.
-
-### DO NOT use `\033[K` (ANSI erase-to-EOL) in spinner/display code
-Leaks as literal `?[K` text under `prompt_toolkit`'s `patch_stdout`. Use space-padding: `f"\r{line}{' ' * pad}"`.
-
-### `_last_resolved_tool_names` is a process-global in `model_tools.py`
-`_run_single_child()` in `delegate_tool.py` saves and restores this global around subagent execution. If you add new code that reads this global, be aware it may be temporarily stale during child agent runs.
-
-### DO NOT hardcode cross-tool references in schema descriptions
-Tool schema descriptions must not mention tools from other toolsets by name (e.g., `browser_navigate` saying "prefer web_search"). Those tools may be unavailable (missing API keys, disabled toolset), causing the model to hallucinate calls to non-existent tools. If a cross-reference is needed, add it dynamically in `get_tool_definitions()` in `model_tools.py` — see the `browser_navigate` / `execute_code` post-processing blocks for the pattern.
-
-### Tests must not write to `~/.hermes/`
-The `_isolate_hermes_home` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` redirects `HERMES_HOME` to a temp dir. Never hardcode `~/.hermes/` paths in tests.
-
-**Profile tests**: When testing profile features, also mock `Path.home()` so that
-`_get_profiles_root()` and `_get_default_hermes_home()` resolve within the temp dir.
-Use the pattern from `tests/hermes_cli/test_profiles.py`:
-```python
-@pytest.fixture
-def profile_env(tmp_path, monkeypatch):
-    home = tmp_path / ".hermes"
-    home.mkdir()
-    monkeypatch.setattr(Path, "home", lambda: tmp_path)
-    monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME", str(home))
-    return home
-```

-# Contributing to Hermes Agent
-
-Thank you for contributing to Hermes Agent! This guide covers everything you need: setting up your dev environment, understanding the architecture, deciding what to build, and getting your PR merged.

-
-## Contribution Priorities
-
-We value contributions in this order:
-
-1. **Bug fixes** — crashes, incorrect behavior, data loss. Always top priority.
-2. **Cross-platform compatibility** — Windows, macOS, different Linux distros, different terminal emulators. We want Hermes to work everywhere.
-3. **Security hardening** — shell injection, prompt injection, path traversal, privilege escalation. See [Security](#security-considerations).
-4. **Performance and robustness** — retry logic, error handling, graceful degradation.
-5. **New skills** — but only broadly useful ones. See [Should it be a Skill or a Tool?](#should-it-be-a-skill-or-a-tool)
-6. **New tools** — rarely needed. Most capabilities should be skills. See below.
-7. **Documentation** — fixes, clarifications, new examples.
-
----
-
-## Should it be a Skill or a Tool?
-
-This is the most common question for new contributors. The answer is almost always **skill**.
-
-### Make it a Skill when:
-
-- The capability can be expressed as instructions + shell commands + existing tools
-- It wraps an external CLI or API that the agent can call via `terminal` or `web_extract`
-- It doesn't need custom Python integration or API key management baked into the agent
-- Examples: arXiv search, git workflows, Docker management, PDF processing, email via CLI tools
-
-### Make it a Tool when:
-
-- It requires end-to-end integration with API keys, auth flows, or multi-component configuration managed by the agent harness
-- It needs custom processing logic that must execute precisely every time (not "best effort" from LLM interpretation)
-- It handles binary data, streaming, or real-time events that can't go through the terminal
-- Examples: browser automation (Browserbase session management), TTS (audio encoding + platform delivery), vision analysis (base64 image handling)
-
-### Should the Skill be bundled?
-
-Bundled skills (in `skills/`) ship with every Hermes install. They should be **broadly useful to most users**:
-
-- Document handling, web research, common dev workflows, system administration
-- Used regularly by a wide range of people
-
-If your skill is official and useful but not universally needed (e.g., a paid service integration, a heavyweight dependency), put it in **`optional-skills/`** — it ships with the repo but isn't activated by default. Users can discover it via `hermes skills browse` (labeled "official") and install it with `hermes skills install` (no third-party warning, builtin trust).
-
-If your skill is specialized, community-contributed, or niche, it's better suited for a **Skills Hub** — upload it to a skills registry and share it in the [Nous Research Discord](https://discord.gg/NousResearch). Users can install it with `hermes skills install`.

-## Architecture Overview
-
-### Core Loop
-
-```
-User message → AIAgent._run_agent_loop()
-  ├── Build system prompt (prompt_builder.py)
-  ├── Build API kwargs (model, messages, tools, reasoning config)
-  ├── Call LLM (OpenAI-compatible API)
-  ├── If tool_calls in response:
-  │     ├── Execute each tool via registry dispatch
-  │     ├── Add tool results to conversation
-  │     └── Loop back to LLM call
-  ├── If text response:
-  │     ├── Persist session to DB
-  │     └── Return final_response
-  └── Context compression if approaching token limit
-```
-
-### Key Design Patterns
-
-- **Self-registering tools**: Each tool file calls `registry.register()` at import time. `model_tools.py` triggers discovery by importing all tool modules.
-- **Toolset grouping**: Tools are grouped into toolsets (`web`, `terminal`, `file`, `browser`, etc.) that can be enabled/disabled per platform.
-- **Session persistence**: All conversations are stored in SQLite (`hermes_state.py`) with full-text search and unique session titles. JSON logs go to `~/.hermes/sessions/`.
-- **Ephemeral injection**: System prompts and prefill messages are injected at API call time, never persisted to the database or logs.
-- **Provider abstraction**: The agent works with any OpenAI-compatible API. Provider resolution happens at init time (Nous Portal OAuth, OpenRouter API key, or custom endpoint).
-- **Provider routing**: When using OpenRouter, `provider_routing` in config.yaml controls provider selection (sort by throughput/latency/price, allow/ignore specific providers, data retention policies). These are injected as `extra_body.provider` in API requests.
-
----
-
-## Code Style
-
-- **PEP 8** with practical exceptions (we don't enforce strict line length)
-- **Comments**: Only when explaining non-obvious intent, trade-offs, or API quirks. Don't narrate what the code does — `# increment counter` adds nothing
-- **Error handling**: Catch specific exceptions. Log with `logger.warning()`/`logger.error()` — use `exc_info=True` for unexpected errors so stack traces appear in logs
-- **Cross-platform**: Never assume Unix. See [Cross-Platform Compatibility](#cross-platform-compatibility)
-

-
-## Adding a New Tool
-
-Before writing a tool, ask: [should this be a skill instead?](#should-it-be-a-skill-or-a-tool)
-
-Tools self-register with the central registry. Each tool file co-locates its schema, handler, and registration:
-
-```python
-"""my_tool — Brief description of what this tool does."""
-
-import json
-from tools.registry import registry
-
-
-def my_tool(param1: str, param2: int = 10, **kwargs) -> str:
-    """Handler. Returns a string result (often JSON)."""
-    result = do_work(param1, param2)
-    return json.dumps(result)
-
-
-MY_TOOL_SCHEMA = {
-    "type": "function",
-    "function": {
-        "name": "my_tool",
-        "description": "What this tool does and when the agent should use it.",
-        "parameters": {
-            "type": "object",
-            "properties": {
-                "param1": {"type": "string", "description": "What param1 is"},
-                "param2": {"type": "integer", "description": "What param2 is", "default": 10},
-            },
-            "required": ["param1"],
-        },
-    },
-}
-
-
-def _check_requirements() -> bool:
-    """Return True if this tool's dependencies are available."""
-    return True
-
-
-registry.register(
-    name="my_tool",
-    toolset="my_toolset",
-    schema=MY_TOOL_SCHEMA,
-    handler=lambda args, **kw: my_tool(**args, **kw),
-    check_fn=_check_requirements,
-)
-```
-
-Then add the import to `model_tools.py` in the `_modules` list:
-
-```python
-_modules = [
-    # ... existing modules ...
-    "tools.my_tool",
-]
-```
-
-If it's a new toolset, add it to `toolsets.py` and to the relevant platform presets.
-
----
-
-## Adding a Skill
-
-Bundled skills live in `skills/` organized by category. Official optional skills use the same structure in `optional-skills/`:
-
-```
-skills/

-```
-
-### Platform-specific skills
-
-Skills can declare which OS platforms they support via the `platforms` frontmatter field. Skills with this field are automatically hidden from the system prompt, `skills_list()`, and slash commands on incompatible platforms.
-
-```yaml
-platforms: [macos]            # macOS only (e.g., iMessage, Apple Reminders)
-platforms: [macos, linux]     # macOS and Linux
-platforms: [windows]          # Windows only
-```
-
-If the field is omitted or empty, the skill loads on all platforms (backward compatible). See `skills/apple/` for examples of macOS-only skills.
-
-### Conditional skill activation
-
-Skills can declare conditions that control when they appear in the system prompt, based on which tools and toolsets are available in the current session. This is primarily used for **fallback skills** — alternatives that should only be shown when a primary tool is unavailable.
-
-Four fields are supported under `metadata.hermes`:
-
-```yaml
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [web]      # Show ONLY when these toolsets are unavailable
-    requires_toolsets: [terminal]     # Show ONLY when these toolsets are available
-    fallback_for_tools: [web_search]  # Show ONLY when these specific tools are unavailable
-    requires_tools: [terminal]        # Show ONLY when these specific tools are available
-```
-
-**Semantics:**
-- `fallback_for_*`: The skill is a backup. It is **hidden** when the listed tools/toolsets are available, and **shown** when they are unavailable. Use this for free alternatives to premium tools.
-- `requires_*`: The skill needs certain tools to function. It is **hidden** when the listed tools/toolsets are unavailable. Use this for skills that depend on specific capabilities (e.g., a skill that only makes sense with terminal access).
-- If both are specified, both conditions must be satisfied for the skill to appear.
-- If neither is specified, the skill is always shown (backward compatible).
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```yaml
-# DuckDuckGo search — shown when Firecrawl (web toolset) is unavailable
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [web]
-
-# Smart home skill — only useful when terminal is available
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    requires_toolsets: [terminal]
-
-# Local browser fallback — shown when Browserbase is unavailable
-metadata:
-  hermes:
-    fallback_for_toolsets: [browser]
-```
-
-The filtering happens at prompt build time in `agent/prompt_builder.py`. The `build_skills_system_prompt()` function receives the set of available tools and toolsets from the agent and uses `_skill_should_show()` to evaluate each skill's conditions.
-
-### Skill setup metadata
-
-Skills can declare secure setup-on-load metadata via the `required_environment_variables` frontmatter field. Missing values do not hide the skill from discovery; they trigger a CLI-only secure prompt when the skill is actually loaded.
-
-```yaml
-required_environment_variables:
-  - name: TENOR_API_KEY
-    prompt: Tenor API key
-    help: Get a key from https://developers.google.com/tenor
-    required_for: full functionality
-```
-
-The user may skip setup and keep loading the skill. Hermes only exposes metadata (`stored_as`, `skipped`, `validated`) to the model — never the secret value.
-
-Legacy `prerequisites.env_vars` remains supported and is normalized into the new representation.
-
-```yaml
-prerequisites:
-  env_vars: [TENOR_API_KEY]       # Legacy alias for required_environment_variables
-  commands: [curl, jq]            # Advisory CLI checks
-```
-
-Gateway and messaging sessions never collect secrets in-band; they instruct the user to run `hermes setup` or update `~/.hermes/.env` locally.
-
-**When to declare required environment variables:**
-- The skill uses an API key or token that should be collected securely at load time
-- The skill can still be useful if the user skips setup, but may degrade gracefully
-
-**When to declare command prerequisites:**
-- The skill relies on a CLI tool that may not be installed (e.g., `himalaya`, `openhue`, `ddgs`)
-- Treat command checks as guidance, not discovery-time hiding
-
-See `skills/gifs/gif-search/` and `skills/email/himalaya/` for examples.
-
-### Skill guidelines
-
-- **No external dependencies unless absolutely necessary.** Prefer stdlib Python, curl, and existing Hermes tools (`web_extract`, `terminal`, `read_file`).
-- **Progressive disclosure.** Put the most common workflow first. Edge cases and advanced usage go at the bottom.
-- **Include helper scripts** for XML/JSON parsing or complex logic — don't expect the LLM to write parsers inline every time.
-- **Test it.** Run `hermes --toolsets skills -q "Use the X skill to do Y"` and verify the agent follows the instructions correctly.

-
-## Adding a Skin / Theme
-
-Hermes uses a data-driven skin system — no code changes needed to add a new skin.
-
-**Option A: User skin (YAML file)**
-
-Create `~/.hermes/skins/<name>.yaml`:
-
-```yaml
-name: mytheme
-description: Short description of the theme
-
-colors:
-  banner_border: "#HEX"     # Panel border color
-  banner_title: "#HEX"      # Panel title color
-  banner_accent: "#HEX"     # Section header color
-  banner_dim: "#HEX"        # Muted/dim text color
-  banner_text: "#HEX"       # Body text color
-  response_border: "#HEX"   # Response box border
-
-spinner:
-  waiting_faces: ["(⚔)", "(⛨)"]
-  thinking_faces: ["(⚔)", "(⌁)"]
-  thinking_verbs: ["forging", "plotting"]
-  wings:                     # Optional left/right decorations
-    - ["⟪⚔", "⚔⟫"]
-
-branding:
-  agent_name: "My Agent"
-  welcome: "Welcome message"
-  response_label: " ⚔ Agent "
-  prompt_symbol: "⚔ ❯ "
-
-tool_prefix: "╎"             # Tool output line prefix
-```
-
-All fields are optional — missing values inherit from the default skin.
-
-**Option B: Built-in skin**
-
-Add to `_BUILTIN_SKINS` dict in `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py`. Use the same schema as above but as a Python dict. Built-in skins ship with the package and are always available.
-
-**Activating:**
-- CLI: `/skin mytheme` or set `display.skin: mytheme` in config.yaml
-- Config: `display: { skin: mytheme }`
-
-See `hermes_cli/skin_engine.py` for the full schema and existing skins as examples.
-
----
-
-## Cross-Platform Compatibility
-
-Hermes runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. When writing code that touches the OS:
-
-### Critical rules
-
-1. **`termios` and `fcntl` are Unix-only.** Always catch both `ImportError` and `NotImplementedError`:
-   ```python
-   try:
-       from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
-       menu = TerminalMenu(options)
-       idx = menu.show()
-   except (ImportError, NotImplementedError):
-       # Fallback: numbered menu for Windows
-       for i, opt in enumerate(options):
-           print(f"  {i+1}. {opt}")
-       idx = int(input("Choice: ")) - 1
-   ```
-
-2. **File encoding.** Windows may save `.env` files in `cp1252`. Always handle encoding errors:
-   ```python
-   try:
-       load_dotenv(env_path)
-   except UnicodeDecodeError:
-       load_dotenv(env_path, encoding="latin-1")
-   ```
-
-3. **Process management.** `os.setsid()`, `os.killpg()`, and signal handling differ on Windows. Use platform checks:
-   ```python
-   import platform
-   if platform.system() != "Windows":
-       kwargs["preexec_fn"] = os.setsid
-   ```
-
-4. **Path separators.** Use `pathlib.Path` instead of string concatenation with `/`.
-
-5. **Shell commands in installers.** If you change `scripts/install.sh`, check if the equivalent change is needed in `scripts/install.ps1`.
-
----
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-Hermes has terminal access. Security matters.
-
-### Existing protections
-
-| Layer | Implementation |
-|-------|---------------|
-| **Sudo password piping** | Uses `shlex.quote()` to prevent shell injection |
-| **Dangerous command detection** | Regex patterns in `tools/approval.py` with user approval flow |
-| **Cron prompt injection** | Scanner in `tools/cronjob_tools.py` blocks instruction-override patterns |
-| **Write deny list** | Protected paths (`~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, `/etc/shadow`) resolved via `os.path.realpath()` to prevent symlink bypass |
-| **Skills guard** | Security scanner for hub-installed skills (`tools/skills_guard.py`) |
-| **Code execution sandbox** | `execute_code` child process runs with API keys stripped from environment |
-| **Container hardening** | Docker: all capabilities dropped, no privilege escalation, PID limits, size-limited tmpfs |
-
-### When contributing security-sensitive code
-
-- **Always use `shlex.quote()`** when interpolating user input into shell commands
-- **Resolve symlinks** with `os.path.realpath()` before path-based access control checks
-- **Don't log secrets.** API keys, tokens, and passwords should never appear in log output
-- **Catch broad exceptions** around tool execution so a single failure doesn't crash the agent loop
-- **Test on all platforms** if your change touches file paths, process management, or shell commands
-
-If your PR affects security, note it explicitly in the description.

+## Features
 
-**The self-improving AI agent built by [Nous Research](https://nousresearch.com).** It's the only agent with a built-in learning loop — it creates skills from experience, improves them during use, nudges itself to persist knowledge, searches its own past conversations, and builds a deepening model of who you are across sessions. Run it on a $5 VPS, a GPU cluster, or serverless infrastructure that costs nearly nothing when idle. It's not tied to your laptop — talk to it from Telegram while it works on a cloud VM.
+- **Interactive CLI**: Beautiful terminal interface with animated feedback, personalities, and session management
+- **Web Tools**: Search, extract content, and crawl websites
+- **Terminal Tools**: Execute commands via local, Docker, Singularity, Modal, or SSH backends
+- **Browser Tools**: Automate web browsers to navigate, click, type, and extract content
+- **Vision Tools**: Analyze images from URLs
+- **Reasoning Tools**: Advanced multi-model reasoning (Mixture of Agents)
+- **Creative Tools**: Generate images from text prompts
+- **Skills Tools**: On-demand knowledge documents with progressive disclosure
+- **Toolsets System**: Organize tools into logical groups for different scenarios

+```bash
+# After setup (see below), just run:
+./hermes
+
+# Or with options:
+./hermes --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4" --toolsets "web,terminal"
+```
+
+The CLI provides:
+- Animated spinners during thinking and tool execution
+- Kawaii-style feedback messages
+- `/commands` for configuration, history, and session management
+- Customizable personalities (`/personality kawaii`, `/personality pirate`, etc.)
+- Persistent configuration via `cli-config.yaml`
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+```bash
+# Clone with submodules (recommended)
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Agent.git
+cd Hermes-Agent
+
+# Or if already cloned without submodules:
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+### 2. Install Dependencies
+```bash
+# Create and activate virtual environment (recommended)
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install Python packages
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Install mini-swe-agent for terminal tools
+pip install -e ./mini-swe-agent
+
+# Install Node.js dependencies for browser tools (requires Node.js)
+npm install
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Environment Variables
+```bash
+# Copy the example environment file
+cp .env.example .env
+
+# Edit .env and add your API keys
+nano .env  # or use your preferred editor
+```
+
+**Required API Keys:**
+- `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` - LLM access via OpenRouter (get at: https://openrouter.ai/keys)
+- `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` - Web tools (get at: https://firecrawl.dev/)
+- `NOUS_API_KEY` - Vision & reasoning tools (get at: https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/)
+- `FAL_KEY` - Image generation (get at: https://fal.ai/)
+
+**Optional API Keys (for specific features):**
+- `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` - Browser automation (get at: https://browserbase.com/)
+- `BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID` - From Browserbase dashboard
+- `MORPH_API_KEY` - For legacy Hecate terminal backend (get at: https://morph.so/)
+
+### 4. Configure Terminal Backend
+
+The terminal tool uses **mini-swe-agent** environments. Configure in `.env` or `cli-config.yaml`:
+
+```bash
+# Backend: "local", "docker", "singularity", "modal", or "ssh"
+TERMINAL_ENV=local          # Default: runs on host machine (no isolation)
+TERMINAL_ENV=ssh            # Remote execution via SSH (agent code stays local)
+TERMINAL_ENV=singularity    # Recommended for HPC: Apptainer/Singularity containers
+TERMINAL_ENV=docker         # Isolated Docker containers
+TERMINAL_ENV=modal          # Cloud execution via Modal
+
+# Container image (for docker/singularity/modal backends)
+TERMINAL_DOCKER_IMAGE=python:3.11-slim
+TERMINAL_SINGULARITY_IMAGE=docker://python:3.11-slim
+TERMINAL_TIMEOUT=60
+
+# SSH backend (for ssh)
+TERMINAL_SSH_HOST=my-server.example.com
+TERMINAL_SSH_USER=myuser
+TERMINAL_SSH_KEY=~/.ssh/id_rsa  # Optional, uses ssh-agent if not set
+```
+
+**Backend Requirements:**
+- **local**: No extra setup (runs directly on your machine, no isolation)
+- **ssh**: SSH access to remote machine (great for sandboxing - agent can't touch its own code)
+- **singularity**: Requires Apptainer or Singularity installed (common on HPC clusters, no root needed)
+- **docker**: Requires Docker installed and user in `docker` group
+- **modal**: Requires Modal account (see setup below)
+
+### Singularity/Apptainer Setup (Recommended for HPC)
+
+Singularity/Apptainer provides rootless container execution, ideal for HPC clusters:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Verify Apptainer is installed
+apptainer --version  # or: singularity --version
+
+# 2. Set up cache directories (important for parallel workers)
+# Use /scratch if available (HPC), otherwise /tmp
+export APPTAINER_CACHEDIR=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer
+export APPTAINER_TMPDIR=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer/tmp
+mkdir -p "$APPTAINER_CACHEDIR" "$APPTAINER_TMPDIR"
+
+# 3. Pre-build SIF image (recommended for parallel batch processing)
+# This avoids race conditions when multiple workers start simultaneously
+apptainer build $APPTAINER_CACHEDIR/python-nodejs.sif docker://nikolaik/python-nodejs:python3.11-nodejs20
+
+# 4. Configure .env to use the local SIF
+TERMINAL_ENV=singularity
+TERMINAL_SINGULARITY_IMAGE=/scratch/$USER/.apptainer/python-nodejs.sif
+```
+
+**Tip:** The batch scripts in `configs/` automatically handle SIF pre-building if `/scratch` is available.
+
+### Modal Cloud Backend Setup
+
+[Modal](https://modal.com) provides serverless cloud compute for running sandboxed environments at scale.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install Modal and dependencies
+pip install modal boto3
+
+# 2. Authenticate with Modal (opens browser)
+modal setup
+
+# 3. Set terminal backend to modal in .env
+TERMINAL_ENV=modal
+```
+
+Modal uses CLI-based authentication (stored in `~/.modal/`), so no API key is needed in `.env`. After running `modal setup`, commands will automatically execute in Modal's cloud sandboxes.
+
+### Browser Tools Setup
+
+Browser tools enable the agent to navigate websites, fill forms, click buttons, and extract content. They use [agent-browser](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) CLI with [Browserbase](https://browserbase.com) cloud execution.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install Node.js (if not already installed)
+# Use nvm (recommended) or your package manager
+
+# 2. Install agent-browser CLI (choose one option):
+npm install -g agent-browser     # Option A: Global install (recommended)
+npm install                      # Option B: Local install (uses npx fallback)
+
+# 3. Get Browserbase credentials
+# Sign up at https://browserbase.com/ and get your:
+# - API Key (from Settings → API Keys)
+# - Project ID (from your project dashboard)
+
+# 4. Add to your .env file:
+BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id_here
+```
+
+**Available Browser Tools:**
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `browser_navigate` | Navigate to a URL |
+| `browser_snapshot` | Get text-based page snapshot with element refs |
+| `browser_click` | Click an element by ref (e.g., `@e5`) |
+| `browser_type` | Type text into an input field |
+| `browser_scroll` | Scroll up or down |
+| `browser_back` | Go back in browser history |
+| `browser_press` | Press a keyboard key (Enter, Tab, etc.) |
+| `browser_close` | Close the browser session |
+| `browser_get_images` | Get list of images on the page |
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```bash
+# Use browser tools with web search and vision
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "Go to amazon.com and find the price of the latest Kindle" \
+  --enabled_toolsets=browser,web,vision
+
+# Use browser-focused distribution
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=browser_tasks.jsonl \
+  --distribution=browser_use \
+  --run_name=browser_run
+```
+
+See `.env.example` for all available configuration options including debug settings.
+
+### Skills Tools
+
+Skills are on-demand knowledge documents the agent can load when needed. They follow a **progressive disclosure** pattern to minimize token usage:
+
+```
+skills/
+├── mlops/                    # Category folder
+│   ├── axolotl/             # Skill folder
+│   │   ├── SKILL.md         # Main instructions (required)
+│   │   ├── references/      # Additional docs, API specs
+│   │   └── templates/       # Output formats, configs
+│   └── vllm/
+│       └── SKILL.md
+```
+
+**Available Skills Tools:**
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `skills_categories` | List available skill categories (~50 tokens) |
+| `skills_list` | List skills with name + description (~3k tokens for 40 skills) |
+| `skill_view` | Load full skill content, tags, and linked files |
+
+**Example Usage:**
+```bash
+# Use skills tools
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "What skills do you have for fine-tuning? Show me the axolotl skill." \
+  --enabled_toolsets=skills
+```
+
+**Creating Skills:**
+
+Skills use YAML frontmatter for metadata:
+```yaml
+---
+name: my-skill
+description: Brief description shown in skills_list
+tags: [tag1, tag2]
+related_skills: [other-skill]
+version: 1.0.0
+---
+# Skill Content
+
+Instructions, examples, and guidelines here...
+```
+
+Skills can include:
+- `references/` - Additional documentation, API specs, examples
+- `templates/` - Output formats, config files, boilerplate code
+- `scripts/` - Executable helpers (Python, shell scripts)
+
+## Session Logging
+
+Every conversation is automatically logged to `logs/` for debugging and inspection:
+
+```
+logs/
+├── session_20260201_143052_a1b2c3.json
+├── session_20260201_150217_d4e5f6.json
+└── ...
+```
+
+**Log Format:**
+```json
+{
+  "session_id": "20260201_143052_a1b2c3",
+  "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4",
+  "session_start": "2026-02-01T14:30:52.123456",
+  "last_updated": "2026-02-01T14:35:12.789012",
+  "message_count": 8,
+  "conversations": [
+    {"from": "system", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "human", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "gpt", "value": "..."},
+    {"from": "tool", "value": "..."}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+- **Automatic**: Logs are created and updated automatically after each conversation turn
+- **Session ID in Banner**: The CLI displays the session ID in the welcome banner
+- **Trajectory Format**: Uses the same format as batch processing for consistency
+- **Git Ignored**: `logs/` is in `.gitignore` so logs aren't committed
+
+## Interactive CLI
+
+The CLI provides a rich interactive experience for working with the agent.
+
+### Running the CLI
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+./hermes
+
+# With specific model
+./hermes --model "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
+
+# With specific toolsets
+./hermes --toolsets "web,terminal,skills"
+```
+
+### CLI Commands
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/help` | Show available commands |
+| `/tools` | List available tools by toolset |
+| `/toolsets` | List available toolsets |
+| `/model [name]` | Show or change the current model |
+| `/prompt [text]` | View/set custom system prompt |
+| `/personality [name]` | Set a predefined personality |
+| `/clear` | Clear screen and reset conversation |
+| `/reset` | Reset conversation only |
+| `/history` | Show conversation history |
+| `/save` | Save current conversation to file |
+| `/config` | Show current configuration |
+| `/quit` | Exit the CLI |
+
+### Configuration
+
+Copy `cli-config.yaml.example` to `cli-config.yaml` and customize:
+
+```yaml
+# Model settings
+model:
+  default: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
+
+# Terminal backend (local, docker, singularity, modal, or ssh)
+terminal:
+  env_type: "local"
+  cwd: "."  # Use current directory
+
+# Or use SSH for remote execution (keeps agent code isolated)
+# terminal:
+#   env_type: "ssh"
+#   ssh_host: "my-server.example.com"
+#   ssh_user: "myuser"
+#   ssh_key: "~/.ssh/id_rsa"
+#   cwd: "/home/myuser/project"
+
+# Enable specific toolsets
+toolsets:
+  - all  # or: web, terminal, browser, vision, etc.
+
+# Custom personalities (use with /personality command)
+agent:
+  personalities:
+    helpful: "You are a helpful assistant."
+    kawaii: "You are a kawaii assistant! Use cute expressions..."
+```
+
+### Personalities
+
+Built-in personalities available via `/personality`:
+- `helpful`, `concise`, `technical`, `creative`, `teacher`
+- `kawaii`, `catgirl`, `pirate`, `shakespeare`, `surfer`
+- `noir`, `uwu`, `philosopher`, `hype`
+
+## Toolsets System
+
+The agent uses a toolsets system for organizing and managing tools. All tools must be part of a toolset to be accessible - individual tool selection is not supported. This ensures consistent and logical grouping of capabilities.
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+- **Toolsets**: Logical groups of tools for specific use cases (e.g., "research", "development", "debugging")
+- **Composition**: Toolsets can include other toolsets for powerful combinations
+- **Custom Toolsets**: Create your own toolsets at runtime or by editing `toolsets.py`
+- **Toolset-Only Access**: Tools are only accessible through toolsets, not individually
+
+### Available Toolsets
+
+See `toolsets.py` for the complete list of predefined toolsets including:
+- Basic toolsets (web, terminal, vision, creative, reasoning)
+- Composite toolsets (research, development, analysis, etc.)
+- Scenario-specific toolsets (debugging, documentation, API testing, etc.)
+- Special toolsets (safe mode without terminal, minimal, offline)
+
+### Using Toolsets
+
+```bash
+# Use a predefined toolset
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=research --query "Find latest AI papers"
+
+# Combine multiple toolsets
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=web,vision --query "Analyze this website"
+
+# Enable all toolsets explicitly (same as omitting the flag)
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=all --query "Do web research and run commands if helpful"
+
+# Safe mode (no terminal access)
+python run_agent.py --enabled_toolsets=safe --query "Help without running commands"
+
+# List all available toolsets and tools
+python run_agent.py --list_tools
+```
+
+See `toolsets.py` for the complete list of available toolsets and how to create custom ones.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Default (all tools enabled)
+```bash
+# Uses OpenRouter by default - just set OPENROUTER_API_KEY in .env
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "search up the latest docs on jit in python 3.13 and write me basic example that's not in their docs. profile its perf" \
+  --max_turns 20 \
+  --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+```
+
+### With specific toolset
+```bash
+python run_agent.py \
+  --query "Debug this Python error" \
+  --enabled_toolsets=debugging \
+  --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+```
+
+### Python API
+```python
+from run_agent import AIAgent
+
+# Uses OpenRouter by default (reads OPENROUTER_API_KEY from .env)
+agent = AIAgent(
+    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
+    enabled_toolsets=["research"]
+)
+response = agent.chat("Find information about quantum computing")
+
+# Create custom toolset at runtime
+from toolsets import create_custom_toolset
+
+create_custom_toolset(
+    name="my_tools",
+    description="My custom toolkit",
+    tools=["web_search"],
+    includes=["terminal", "vision"]
+)
+
+agent = AIAgent(enabled_toolsets=["my_tools"])
+```
+
+## Batch Processing
+
+Process multiple prompts from a dataset in parallel with automatic checkpointing and statistics tracking:
+
+```bash
+# Basic batch processing
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=20 \
+  --run_name=my_run
+
+# With specific distribution
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=20 \
+  --run_name=image_run \
+  --distribution=image_gen \
+  --num_workers=4
+```
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Parallel processing with configurable workers
+- Toolset distributions for varied data generation
+- Automatic checkpointing and resume capability
+- Combined output in `data/<run_name>/trajectories.jsonl`
+- Tool usage statistics and success rates
+
+Use `--list_distributions` to see available toolset distributions for varied data generation.
+
+### Trajectory Compression
+
+Post-process trajectories to fit within token budgets for training:
+
+```bash
+# Compress a directory of JSONL files
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/my_run
+
+# Compress a single JSONL file
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/trajectories.jsonl
+
+# Compress a 15% sample (useful for creating smaller training sets)
+python trajectory_compressor.py --input=data/trajectories.jsonl --sample_percent=15
+
+# Custom output and token target
+python trajectory_compressor.py \
+  --input=data/trajectories.jsonl \
+  --output=data/compressed.jsonl \
+  --target_max_tokens=16000
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Protects first turns (system, human, first GPT response, first tool call)
+- Protects last N turns (configurable)
+- Summarizes middle turns using LLM to fit target token budget
+- Supports both directory and single file input
+- Optional random sampling with `--sample_percent`
+- Configurable via `configs/trajectory_compression.yaml`
+
+### Ephemeral System Prompts
+
+The ephemeral system prompt feature allows you to guide the model's behavior during batch processing **without** saving that prompt to the training dataset trajectories. This is useful for:
+
+- Guiding model behavior during data collection
+- Adding task-specific instructions 
+- Keeping saved trajectories clean and focused on tool-calling format
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+python batch_runner.py \
+  --dataset_file=prompts.jsonl \
+  --batch_size=10 \
+  --run_name=my_run \
+  --ephemeral_system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant focused on image generation."
+```
+
+The ephemeral prompt will influence the model's behavior during execution, but **only the standard tool-calling system prompt** will be saved in the trajectory files.
+
+The ephemeral prompt influences model behavior during execution, but **only the standard tool-calling system prompt** is saved in trajectory files.

+## Docker Backend (Default)
+
+### 1. Build the Sandbox Image
 
 ```bash
-curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
+cd atropos
+docker build -t atropos-sandbox:local .
 ```
 
-Works on Linux, macOS, and WSL2. The installer handles everything — Python, Node.js, dependencies, and the `hermes` command. No prerequisites except git.
-
-> **Windows:** Native Windows is not supported. Please install [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and run the command above.
-
-After installation:
+### 2. Start Nomad (Development Mode)
 
 ```bash
-source ~/.bashrc    # reload shell (or: source ~/.zshrc)
-hermes              # start chatting!
+# Start Nomad with Docker driver
+nomad agent -dev -config=nomad-dev.hcl
+```
+
+Or create `nomad-dev.hcl`:
+```hcl
+client {
+  enabled = true
+  options {
+    "driver.allowlist" = "docker"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Run with Docker Backend
+
+```bash
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Test the environment
+python -m atropos.envs.swe_smith_oracle_env process \
+    --env.use_wandb false \
+    --env.total_steps 1 \
+    --env.max_items 1 \
+    --env.driver docker
 ```

-## Getting Started
+## Singularity Backend (HPC/Rootless)
+
+Singularity/Apptainer is ideal for HPC clusters where Docker requires root privileges.
+
+### 1. Build the Singularity Image
 
 ```bash
-hermes              # Interactive CLI — start a conversation
-hermes model        # Choose your LLM provider and model
-hermes tools        # Configure which tools are enabled
-hermes config set   # Set individual config values
-hermes gateway      # Start the messaging gateway (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
-hermes setup        # Run the full setup wizard (configures everything at once)
-hermes claw migrate # Migrate from OpenClaw (if coming from OpenClaw)
-hermes update       # Update to the latest version
-hermes doctor       # Diagnose any issues
+cd atropos
+
+# Option A: Convert from Docker image (if Docker is available)
+docker build -t atropos-sandbox:local .
+apptainer build atropos-sandbox.sif docker-daemon://atropos-sandbox:local
+
+# Option B: Build directly from Dockerfile (requires root or fakeroot)
+apptainer build atropos-sandbox.sif docker://ghcr.io/nousresearch/atropos-sandbox:latest
 ```

+### 2. Start Nomad with raw_exec Driver
 
-## CLI vs Messaging Quick Reference
+Singularity uses Nomad's `raw_exec` driver. Create `nomad-singularity.hcl`:
 
-Hermes has two entry points: start the terminal UI with `hermes`, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
+```hcl
+client {
+  enabled = true
+  options {
+    "driver.allowlist" = "raw_exec,docker"
+  }
+}
 
-| Action | CLI | Messaging platforms |
-|---------|-----|---------------------|
-| Start chatting | `hermes` | Run `hermes gateway setup` + `hermes gateway start`, then send the bot a message |
-| Start fresh conversation | `/new` or `/reset` | `/new` or `/reset` |
-| Change model | `/model [provider:model]` | `/model [provider:model]` |
-| Set a personality | `/personality [name]` | `/personality [name]` |
-| Retry or undo the last turn | `/retry`, `/undo` | `/retry`, `/undo` |
-| Compress context / check usage | `/compress`, `/usage`, `/insights [--days N]` | `/compress`, `/usage`, `/insights [days]` |
-| Browse skills | `/skills` or `/<skill-name>` | `/skills` or `/<skill-name>` |
-| Interrupt current work | `Ctrl+C` or send a new message | `/stop` or send a new message |
-| Platform-specific status | `/platforms` | `/status`, `/sethome` |
+plugin "raw_exec" {
+  config {
+    enabled = true
+  }
+}
+```
 
-For the full command lists, see the [CLI guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/cli) and the [Messaging Gateway guide](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/messaging).
+Start Nomad:
+```bash
+nomad agent -dev -config=nomad-singularity.hcl
+```

-## Migrating from OpenClaw
-
-If you're coming from OpenClaw, Hermes can automatically import your settings, memories, skills, and API keys.
-
-**During first-time setup:** The setup wizard (`hermes setup`) automatically detects `~/.openclaw` and offers to migrate before configuration begins.
-
-**Anytime after install:**
+### 3. Run with Singularity Backend
 
 ```bash
-hermes claw migrate              # Interactive migration (full preset)
-hermes claw migrate --dry-run    # Preview what would be migrated
-hermes claw migrate --preset user-data   # Migrate without secrets
-hermes claw migrate --overwrite  # Overwrite existing conflicts
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Basic test
+python -m atropos.envs.swe_smith_oracle_env process \
+    --env.use_wandb false \
+    --env.total_steps 1 \
+    --env.max_items 1 \
+    --env.driver singularity \
+    --env.singularity_image /path/to/atropos-sandbox.sif
+
+# Full example with all options
+python -m atropos.envs.swe_smith_oracle_env process \
+    --env.use_wandb false \
+    --env.total_steps 10 \
+    --env.group_size 4 \
+    --env.max_items 100 \
+    --env.driver singularity \
+    --env.singularity_image /path/to/atropos-sandbox.sif \
+    --env.slots_per_container 10 \
+    --env.min_containers 1 \
+    --env.max_containers 5
 ```
 
-What gets imported:
-- **SOUL.md** — persona file
-- **Memories** — MEMORY.md and USER.md entries
-- **Skills** — user-created skills → `~/.hermes/skills/openclaw-imports/`
-- **Command allowlist** — approval patterns
-- **Messaging settings** — platform configs, allowed users, working directory
-- **API keys** — allowlisted secrets (Telegram, OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, ElevenLabs)
-- **TTS assets** — workspace audio files
-- **Workspace instructions** — AGENTS.md (with `--workspace-target`)
-
-See `hermes claw migrate --help` for all options, or use the `openclaw-migration` skill for an interactive agent-guided migration with dry-run previews.

-# Hermes Agent v0.2.0 (v2026.3.12)
-
-**Release Date:** March 12, 2026
-
-> First tagged release since v0.1.0 (the initial pre-public foundation). In just over two weeks, Hermes Agent went from a small internal project to a full-featured AI agent platform — thanks to an explosion of community contributions. This release covers **216 merged pull requests** from **63 contributors**, resolving **119 issues**.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Multi-Platform Messaging Gateway** — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Email (IMAP/SMTP), and Home Assistant platforms with unified session management, media attachments, and per-platform tool configuration.
-
-- **MCP (Model Context Protocol) Client** — Native MCP support with stdio and HTTP transports, reconnection, resource/prompt discovery, and sampling (server-initiated LLM requests). ([#291](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/291) — @0xbyt4, [#301](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/301), [#753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/753))
-
-- **Skills Ecosystem** — 70+ bundled and optional skills across 15+ categories with a Skills Hub for community discovery, per-platform enable/disable, conditional activation based on tool availability, and prerequisite validation. ([#743](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/743) — @teyrebaz33, [#785](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/785) — @teyrebaz33)
-
-- **Centralized Provider Router** — Unified `call_llm()`/`async_call_llm()` API replaces scattered provider logic across vision, summarization, compression, and trajectory saving. All auxiliary consumers route through a single code path with automatic credential resolution. ([#1003](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1003))
-
-- **ACP Server** — VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains editor integration via the Agent Communication Protocol standard. ([#949](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/949))
-
-- **CLI Skin/Theme Engine** — Data-driven visual customization: banners, spinners, colors, branding. 7 built-in skins + custom YAML skins.
-
-- **Git Worktree Isolation** — `hermes -w` launches isolated agent sessions in git worktrees for safe parallel work on the same repo. ([#654](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/654))
-
-- **Filesystem Checkpoints & Rollback** — Automatic snapshots before destructive operations with `/rollback` to restore. ([#824](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/824))
-
-- **3,289 Tests** — From near-zero test coverage to a comprehensive test suite covering agent, gateway, tools, cron, and CLI.

-# Hermes Agent v0.3.0 (v2026.3.17)
-
-**Release Date:** March 17, 2026
-
-> The streaming, plugins, and provider release — unified real-time token delivery, first-class plugin architecture, rebuilt provider system with Vercel AI Gateway, native Anthropic provider, smart approvals, live Chrome CDP browser connect, ACP IDE integration, Honcho memory, voice mode, persistent shell, and 50+ bug fixes across every platform.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Unified Streaming Infrastructure** — Real-time token-by-token delivery in CLI and all gateway platforms. Responses stream as they're generated instead of arriving as a block. ([#1538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1538))
-
-- **First-Class Plugin Architecture** — Drop Python files into `~/.hermes/plugins/` to extend Hermes with custom tools, commands, and hooks. No forking required. ([#1544](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1544), [#1555](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1555))
-
-- **Native Anthropic Provider** — Direct Anthropic API calls with Claude Code credential auto-discovery, OAuth PKCE flows, and native prompt caching. No OpenRouter middleman needed. ([#1097](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1097))
-
-- **Smart Approvals + /stop Command** — Codex-inspired approval system that learns which commands are safe and remembers your preferences. `/stop` kills the current agent run immediately. ([#1543](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1543))
-
-- **Honcho Memory Integration** — Async memory writes, configurable recall modes, session title integration, and multi-user isolation in gateway mode. By @erosika. ([#736](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/736))
-
-- **Voice Mode** — Push-to-talk in CLI, voice notes in Telegram/Discord, Discord voice channel support, and local Whisper transcription via faster-whisper. ([#1299](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1299), [#1185](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1185), [#1429](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1429))
-
-- **Concurrent Tool Execution** — Multiple independent tool calls now run in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor, significantly reducing latency for multi-tool turns. ([#1152](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1152))
-
-- **PII Redaction** — When `privacy.redact_pii` is enabled, personally identifiable information is automatically scrubbed before sending context to LLM providers. ([#1542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1542))
-
-- **`/browser connect` via CDP** — Attach browser tools to a live Chrome instance through Chrome DevTools Protocol. Debug, inspect, and interact with pages you already have open. ([#1549](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1549))
-
-- **Vercel AI Gateway Provider** — Route Hermes through Vercel's AI Gateway for access to their model catalog and infrastructure. ([#1628](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1628))
-
-- **Centralized Provider Router** — Rebuilt provider system with `call_llm` API, unified `/model` command, auto-detect provider on model switch, and direct endpoint overrides for auxiliary/delegation clients. ([#1003](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1003), [#1506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1506), [#1375](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1375))
-
-- **ACP Server (IDE Integration)** — VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains can now connect to Hermes as an agent backend, with full slash command support. ([#1254](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1254), [#1532](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1532))
-
-- **Persistent Shell Mode** — Local and SSH terminal backends can maintain shell state across tool calls — cd, env vars, and aliases persist. By @alt-glitch. ([#1067](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1067), [#1483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1483))
-
-- **Agentic On-Policy Distillation (OPD)** — New RL training environment for distilling agent policies, expanding the Atropos training ecosystem. ([#1149](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1149))
-
----
-
-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### Provider & Model Support
-- **Centralized provider router** with `call_llm` API and unified `/model` command — switch models and providers seamlessly ([#1003](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1003))
-- **Vercel AI Gateway** provider support ([#1628](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1628))
-- **Auto-detect provider** when switching models via `/model` ([#1506](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/1506))

-
-**Release Date:** March 28, 2026
-
-> The hardening release — Hugging Face provider, /model command overhaul, Telegram Private Chat Topics, native Modal SDK, plugin lifecycle hooks, tool-use enforcement for GPT models, Nix flake, 50+ security and reliability fixes, and a comprehensive supply chain audit.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Nous Portal now supports 400+ models** — The Nous Research inference portal has expanded dramatically, giving Hermes Agent users access to over 400 models through a single provider endpoint
-
-- **Hugging Face as a first-class inference provider** — Full integration with HF Inference API including curated agentic model picker that maps to OpenRouter analogues, live `/models` endpoint probe, and setup wizard flow ([#3419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3419), [#3440](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3440))
-
-- **Telegram Private Chat Topics** — Project-based conversations with functional skill binding per topic, enabling isolated workflows within a single Telegram chat ([#3163](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3163))
-
-- **Native Modal SDK backend** — Replaced swe-rex dependency with native Modal SDK (`Sandbox.create.aio` + `exec.aio`), eliminating tunnels and simplifying the Modal terminal backend ([#3538](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3538))
-
-- **Plugin lifecycle hooks activated** — `pre_llm_call`, `post_llm_call`, `on_session_start`, and `on_session_end` hooks now fire in the agent loop and CLI/gateway, completing the plugin hook system ([#3542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3542))
-
-- **Improved OpenAI Model Reliability** — Added `GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE` to prevent GPT models from describing intended actions instead of making tool calls, plus automatic stripping of stale budget warnings from conversation history that caused models to avoid tools across turns ([#3528](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3528))
-
-- **Nix flake** — Full uv2nix build, NixOS module with persistent container mode, auto-generated config keys from Python source, and suffix PATHs for agent-friendliness ([#20](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/20), [#3274](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3274), [#3061](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3061)) by @alt-glitch
-
-- **Supply chain hardening** — Removed compromised `litellm` dependency, pinned all dependency version ranges, regenerated `uv.lock` with hashes, added CI workflow scanning PRs for supply chain attack patterns, and bumped deps to fix CVEs ([#2796](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2796), [#2810](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2810), [#2812](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2812), [#2816](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/2816), [#3073](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3073))
-
-- **Anthropic output limits fix** — Replaced hardcoded 16K `max_tokens` with per-model native output limits (128K for Opus 4.6, 64K for Sonnet 4.6), fixing "Response truncated" and thinking-budget exhaustion on direct Anthropic API ([#3426](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3426), [#3444](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3444))

-# Hermes Agent v0.6.0 (v2026.3.30)
-
-**Release Date:** March 30, 2026
-
-> The multi-instance release — Profiles for running isolated agent instances, MCP server mode, Docker container, fallback provider chains, two new messaging platforms (Feishu/Lark and WeCom), Telegram webhook mode, Slack multi-workspace OAuth, 95 PRs and 16 resolved issues in 2 days.
-
----
-
-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Profiles — Multi-Instance Hermes** — Run multiple isolated Hermes instances from the same installation. Each profile gets its own config, memory, sessions, skills, and gateway service. Create with `hermes profile create`, switch with `hermes -p <name>`, export/import for sharing. Full token-lock isolation prevents two profiles from using the same bot credential. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-
-- **MCP Server Mode** — Expose Hermes conversations and sessions to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) via `hermes mcp serve`. Browse conversations, read messages, search across sessions, and manage attachments — all through the Model Context Protocol. Supports both stdio and Streamable HTTP transports. ([#3795](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3795))
-
-- **Docker Container** — Official Dockerfile for running Hermes Agent in a container. Supports both CLI and gateway modes with volume-mounted config. ([#3668](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3668), closes [#850](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/850))
-
-- **Ordered Fallback Provider Chain** — Configure multiple inference providers with automatic failover. When your primary provider returns errors or is unreachable, Hermes automatically tries the next provider in the chain. Configure via `fallback_providers` in config.yaml. ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813), closes [#1734](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1734))
-
-- **Feishu/Lark Platform Support** — Full gateway adapter for Feishu (飞书) and Lark with event subscriptions, message cards, group chat, image/file attachments, and interactive card callbacks. ([#3799](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3799), [#3817](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3817), closes [#1788](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/1788))
-
-- **WeCom (Enterprise WeChat) Platform Support** — New gateway adapter for WeCom (企业微信) with text/image/voice messages, group chats, and callback verification. ([#3847](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3847))
-
-- **Slack Multi-Workspace OAuth** — Connect a single Hermes gateway to multiple Slack workspaces via OAuth token file. Each workspace gets its own bot token, resolved dynamically per incoming event. ([#3903](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3903))
-
-- **Telegram Webhook Mode & Group Controls** — Run the Telegram adapter in webhook mode as an alternative to polling — faster response times and better for production deployments behind a reverse proxy. New group mention gating controls when the bot responds: always, only when @mentioned, or via regex triggers. ([#3880](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3880), [#3870](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3870))
-
-- **Exa Search Backend** — Add Exa as an alternative web search and content extraction backend alongside Firecrawl and DuckDuckGo. Set `EXA_API_KEY` and configure as preferred backend. ([#3648](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3648))
-
-- **Skills & Credentials on Remote Backends** — Mount skill directories and credential files into Modal and Docker containers, so remote terminal sessions have access to the same skills and secrets as local execution. ([#3890](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3890), [#3671](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3671), closes [#3665](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3665), [#3433](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3433))

-## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
-
-### Provider & Model Support
-- **Ordered fallback provider chain** — automatic failover across multiple configured providers ([#3813](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3813))
-- **Fix api_mode on provider switch** — switching providers via `hermes model` now correctly clears stale `api_mode` instead of hardcoding `chat_completions`, fixing 404s for providers with Anthropic-compatible endpoints ([#3726](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3726), [#3857](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3857), closes [#3685](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3685))
-- **Stop silent OpenRouter fallback** — when no provider is configured, Hermes now raises a clear error instead of silently routing to OpenRouter ([#3807](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3807), [#3862](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3862))
-- **Gemini 3.1 preview models** — added to OpenRouter and Nous Portal catalogs ([#3803](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3803), closes [#3753](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/3753))
-- **Gemini direct API context length** — full context length resolution for direct Google AI endpoints ([#3876](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3876))
-- **gpt-5.4-mini** added to Codex fallback catalog ([#3855](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3855))
-- **Curated model lists preferred** over live API probe when the probe returns fewer models ([#3856](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3856), [#3867](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3867))
-- **User-friendly 429 rate limit messages** with Retry-After countdown ([#3809](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3809))
-- **Auxiliary client placeholder key** for local servers without auth requirements ([#3842](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3842))
-- **INFO-level logging** for auxiliary provider resolution ([#3866](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3866))
-
-### Agent Loop & Conversation
-- **Subagent status reporting** — reports `completed` status when summary exists instead of generic failure ([#3829](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3829))
-- **Session log file updated during compression** — prevents stale file references after context compression ([#3835](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3835))
-- **Omit empty tools param** — sends no `tools` parameter when empty instead of `None`, fixing compatibility with strict providers ([#3820](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3820))
-
-### Profiles & Multi-Instance
-- **Profiles system** — `hermes profile create/list/switch/delete/export/import/rename`. Each profile gets isolated HERMES_HOME, gateway service, CLI wrapper. Token locks prevent credential collisions. Tab completion for profile names. ([#3681](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3681))
-- **Profile-aware display paths** — all user-facing `~/.hermes` paths replaced with `display_hermes_home()` to show the correct profile directory ([#3623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3623))
-- **Lazy display_hermes_home imports** — prevents `ImportError` during `hermes update` when modules cache stale bytecode ([#3776](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3776))
-- **HERMES_HOME for protected paths** — `.env` write-deny path now respects HERMES_HOME instead of hardcoded `~/.hermes` ([#3840](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3840))

-## ✨ Highlights
-
-- **Pluggable Memory Provider Interface** — Memory is now an extensible plugin system. Third-party memory backends (Honcho, vector stores, custom DBs) implement a simple provider ABC and register via the plugin system. Built-in memory is the default provider. Honcho integration restored to full parity as the reference plugin with profile-scoped host/peer resolution. ([#4623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4623), [#4616](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4616), [#4355](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4355))
-
-- **Same-Provider Credential Pools** — Configure multiple API keys for the same provider with automatic rotation. Thread-safe `least_used` strategy distributes load across keys, and 401 failures trigger automatic rotation to the next credential. Set up via the setup wizard or `credential_pool` config. ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300), [#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
-
-- **Camofox Anti-Detection Browser Backend** — New local browser backend using Camoufox for stealth browsing. Persistent sessions with VNC URL discovery for visual debugging, configurable SSRF bypass for local backends, auto-install via `hermes tools`. ([#4008](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4008), [#4419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4419), [#4292](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4292))
-
-- **Inline Diff Previews** — File write and patch operations now show inline diffs in the tool activity feed, giving you visual confirmation of what changed before the agent moves on. ([#4411](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4411), [#4423](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4423))
-
-- **API Server Session Continuity & Tool Streaming** — The API server (Open WebUI integration) now streams tool progress events in real-time and supports `X-Hermes-Session-Id` headers for persistent sessions across requests. Sessions persist to the shared SessionDB. ([#4092](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4092), [#4478](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4478), [#4802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4802))
-
-- **ACP: Client-Provided MCP Servers** — Editor integrations (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains) can now register their own MCP servers, which Hermes picks up as additional agent tools. Your editor's MCP ecosystem flows directly into the agent. ([#4705](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4705))
-
-- **Gateway Hardening** — Major stability pass across race conditions, photo media delivery, flood control, stuck sessions, approval routing, and compression death spirals. The gateway is substantially more reliable in production. ([#4727](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4727), [#4750](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4750), [#4798](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4798), [#4557](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4557))
-
-- **Security: Secret Exfiltration Blocking** — Browser URLs and LLM responses are now scanned for secret patterns, blocking exfiltration attempts via URL encoding, base64, or prompt injection. Credential directory protections expanded to `.docker`, `.azure`, `.config/gh`. Execute_code sandbox output is redacted. ([#4483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4483), [#4360](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4360), [#4305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4305), [#4327](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4327))

+# Hermes Agent - Future Improvements
+
+> Ideas for enhancing the agent's capabilities, generated from self-analysis of the codebase.
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 HIGH PRIORITY - Immediate Fixes
+
+These items need to be addressed ASAP:
+
+### 1. SUDO Breaking Terminal Tool 🔐 ✅ COMPLETE
+- [x] **Problem:** SUDO commands break the terminal tool execution (hangs indefinitely)
+- [x] **Fix:** Created custom environment wrappers in `tools/terminal_tool.py`
+  - `stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL` prevents hanging on interactive prompts
+  - Sudo fails gracefully with clear error if no password configured
+  - Same UX as Claude Code - agent sees error, tells user to run it themselves
+- [x] **All 5 environments now have consistent behavior:**
+  - `_LocalEnvironment` - local execution
+  - `_DockerEnvironment` - Docker containers
+  - `_SingularityEnvironment` - Singularity/Apptainer containers
+  - `_ModalEnvironment` - Modal cloud sandboxes
+  - `_SSHEnvironment` - remote SSH execution
+- [x] **Optional sudo support via `SUDO_PASSWORD` env var:**
+  - Shared `_transform_sudo_command()` helper used by all environments
+  - If set, auto-transforms `sudo cmd` → pipes password via `sudo -S`
+  - Documented in `.env.example`, `cli-config.yaml`, and README
+  - Works for chained commands: `cmd1 && sudo cmd2`
+- [x] **Interactive sudo prompt in CLI mode:**
+  - When sudo detected and no password configured, prompts user
+  - 45-second timeout (auto-skips if no input)
+  - Hidden password input via `getpass` (password not visible)
+  - Password cached for session (don't ask repeatedly)
+  - Spinner pauses during prompt for clean UX
+  - Uses `HERMES_INTERACTIVE` env var to detect CLI mode
+
+### 2. Fix `browser_get_images` Tool 🖼️ ✅ VERIFIED WORKING
+- [x] **Tested:** Tool works correctly on multiple sites
+- [x] **Results:** Successfully extracts image URLs, alt text, dimensions
+- [x] **Note:** Some sites (Pixabay, etc.) have Cloudflare bot protection that blocks headless browsers - this is expected behavior, not a bug
+
+### 3. Better Action Logging for Debugging 📝 ✅ COMPLETE
+- [x] **Problem:** Need better logging of agent actions for debugging
+- [x] **Implementation:**
+  - Save full session trajectories to `logs/` directory as JSON
+  - Each session gets a unique file: `session_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_UUID.json`
+  - Logs all messages, tool calls with inputs/outputs, timestamps
+  - Structured JSON format for easy parsing and replay
+  - Automatic on CLI runs (configurable)
+
+### 4. Stream Thinking Summaries in Real-Time 💭 ⏸️ DEFERRED
+- [ ] **Problem:** Thinking/reasoning summaries not shown while streaming
+- [ ] **Complexity:** This is a significant refactor - leaving for later
+
+**OpenRouter Streaming Info:**
+- Uses `stream=True` with OpenAI SDK
+- Reasoning comes in `choices[].delta.reasoning_details` chunks
+- Types: `reasoning.summary`, `reasoning.text`, `reasoning.encrypted`
+- Tool call arguments stream as partial JSON (need accumulation)
+- Items paradigm: same ID emitted multiple times with updated content
+
+**Key Challenges:**
+- Tool call JSON accumulation (partial `{"query": "wea` → `{"query": "weather"}`)
+- Multiple concurrent outputs (thinking + tool calls + text simultaneously)
+- State management for partial responses
+- Error handling if connection drops mid-stream
+- Deciding when tool calls are "complete" enough to execute
+
+**UX Questions to Resolve:**
+- Show raw thinking text or summarized?
+- Live expanding text vs. spinner replacement?
+- Markdown rendering while streaming?
+- How to handle thinking + tool call display simultaneously?
+
+**Implementation Options:**
+- New `run_conversation_streaming()` method (keep non-streaming as fallback)
+- Wrapper that handles streaming internally
+- Big refactor of existing `run_conversation()`
+
+**References:**

+
+## 1. Subagent Architecture (Context Isolation) 🎯
+
+**Problem:** Long-running tools (terminal commands, browser automation, complex file operations) consume massive context. A single `ls -la` can add hundreds of lines. Browser snapshots, debugging sessions, and iterative terminal work quickly bloat the main conversation, leaving less room for actual reasoning.
+
+**Solution:** The main agent becomes an **orchestrator** that delegates context-heavy tasks to **subagents**.
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  ORCHESTRATOR (main agent)                                      │
+│  - Receives user request                                        │
+│  - Plans approach                                               │
+│  - Delegates heavy tasks to subagents                           │
+│  - Receives summarized results                                  │
+│  - Maintains clean, focused context                             │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+         │                    │                    │
+         ▼                    ▼                    ▼
+┌─────────────────┐  ┌─────────────────┐  ┌─────────────────┐
+│ TERMINAL AGENT  │  │ BROWSER AGENT   │  │ CODE AGENT      │
+│ - terminal tool │  │ - browser tools │  │ - file tools    │
+│ - file tools    │  │ - web_search    │  │ - terminal      │
+│                 │  │ - web_extract   │  │                 │
+│ Isolated context│  │ Isolated context│  │ Isolated context│
+│ Returns summary │  │ Returns summary │  │ Returns summary │
+└─────────────────┘  └─────────────────┘  └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+1. User asks: "Set up a new Python project with FastAPI and tests"
+2. Orchestrator plans: "I need to create files, install deps, write code"
+3. Orchestrator calls: `terminal_task(goal="Create venv, install fastapi pytest", context="New project in ~/myapp")`
+4. **Subagent spawns** with fresh context, only terminal/file tools
+5. Subagent iterates (may take 10+ tool calls, lots of output)
+6. Subagent completes → returns summary: "Created venv, installed fastapi==0.109.0, pytest==8.0.0"
+7. Orchestrator receives **only the summary**, context stays clean
+8. Orchestrator continues with next subtask
+
+**Key tools to implement:**
+- [ ] `terminal_task(goal, context, cwd?)` - Delegate terminal/shell work
+- [ ] `browser_task(goal, context, start_url?)` - Delegate web research/automation  
+- [ ] `code_task(goal, context, files?)` - Delegate code writing/modification
+- [ ] Generic `delegate_task(goal, context, toolsets=[])` - Flexible delegation
+
+**Implementation details:**
+- [ ] Subagent uses same `run_agent.py` but with:
+  - Fresh/empty conversation history
+  - Limited toolset (only what's needed)
+  - Smaller max_iterations (focused task)
+  - Task-specific system prompt
+- [ ] Subagent returns structured result:
+  ```python
+  {
+    "success": True,
+    "summary": "Installed 3 packages, created 2 files",
+    "details": "Optional longer explanation if needed",
+    "artifacts": ["~/myapp/requirements.txt", "~/myapp/main.py"],  # Files created
+    "errors": []  # Any issues encountered
+  }
+  ```
+- [ ] Orchestrator sees only the summary in its context
+- [ ] Full subagent transcript saved separately for debugging
+
+**Benefits:**
+- 🧹 **Clean context** - Orchestrator stays focused, doesn't drown in tool output
+- 📊 **Better token efficiency** - 50 terminal outputs → 1 summary paragraph
+- 🎯 **Focused subagents** - Each agent has just the tools it needs
+- 🔄 **Parallel potential** - Independent subtasks could run concurrently
+- 🐛 **Easier debugging** - Each subtask has its own isolated transcript
+
+**When to use subagents vs direct tools:**
+- **Subagent**: Multi-step tasks, iteration likely, lots of output expected
+- **Direct**: Quick one-off commands, simple file reads, user needs to see output
+
+**Files to modify:** `run_agent.py` (add orchestration mode), new `tools/delegate_tools.py`, new `subagent_runner.py`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Context Management (complements Subagents)
+
+**Problem:** Context grows unbounded during long conversations. Trajectory compression exists for training data post-hoc, but live conversations lack intelligent context management.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Incremental summarization** - Compress old tool outputs on-the-fly during conversations
+  - Trigger when context exceeds threshold (e.g., 80% of max tokens)
+  - Preserve recent turns fully, summarize older tool responses
+  - Could reuse logic from `trajectory_compressor.py`
+  
+- [ ] **Semantic memory retrieval** - Vector store for long conversation recall
+  - Embed important facts/findings as conversation progresses
+  - Retrieve relevant memories when needed instead of keeping everything in context
+  - Consider lightweight solutions: ChromaDB, FAISS, or even a simple embedding cache
+  
+- [ ] **Working vs. episodic memory** distinction
+  - Working memory: Current task state, recent tool results (always in context)
+  - Episodic memory: Past findings, tried approaches (retrieved on demand)
+  - Clear eviction policies for each
+
+**Files to modify:** `run_agent.py` (add memory manager), possibly new `tools/memory_tool.py`
+
+---
+
+## 3. Self-Reflection & Course Correction 🔄
+
+**Problem:** Current retry logic handles malformed outputs but not semantic failures. Agent doesn't reason about *why* something failed.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Meta-reasoning after failures** - When a tool returns an error or unexpected result:
+  ```
+  Tool failed → Reflect: "Why did this fail? What assumptions were wrong?"
+  → Adjust approach → Retry with new strategy
+  ```
+  - Could be a lightweight LLM call or structured self-prompt
+  
+- [ ] **Planning/replanning module** - For complex multi-step tasks:
+  - Generate plan before execution
+  - After each step, evaluate: "Am I on track? Should I revise the plan?"
+  - Store plan in working memory, update as needed
+  
+- [ ] **Approach memory** - Remember what didn't work:
+  - "I tried X for this type of problem and it failed because Y"
+  - Prevents repeating failed strategies in the same conversation
+
+**Files to modify:** `run_agent.py` (add reflection hooks in tool loop), new `tools/reflection_tool.py`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Tool Composition & Learning 🔧
+
+**Problem:** Tools are atomic. Complex tasks require repeated manual orchestration of the same tool sequences.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Macro tools / Tool chains** - Define reusable tool sequences:
+  ```yaml
+  research_topic:
+    description: "Deep research on a topic"
+    steps:
+      - web_search: {query: "$topic"}
+      - web_extract: {urls: "$search_results.urls[:3]"}
+      - summarize: {content: "$extracted"}
+  ```
+  - Could be defined in skills or a new `macros/` directory
+  - Agent can invoke macro as single tool call
+  
+- [ ] **Tool failure patterns** - Learn from failures:
+  - Track: tool, input pattern, error type, what worked instead
+  - Before calling a tool, check: "Has this pattern failed before?"
+  - Persistent across sessions (stored in skills or separate DB)
+  
+- [ ] **Parallel tool execution** - When tools are independent, run concurrently:
+  - Detect independence (no data dependencies between calls)
+  - Use `asyncio.gather()` for parallel execution
+  - Already have async support in some tools, just need orchestration
+
+**Files to modify:** `model_tools.py`, `toolsets.py`, new `tool_macros.py`
+
+---
+
+## 5. Dynamic Skills Expansion 📚
+
+**Problem:** Skills system is elegant but static. Skills must be manually created and added.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Skill acquisition from successful tasks** - After completing a complex task:
+  - "This approach worked well. Save as a skill?"
+  - Extract: goal, steps taken, tools used, key decisions
+  - Generate SKILL.md automatically
+  - Store in user's skills directory
+  
+- [ ] **Skill templates** - Common patterns that can be parameterized:
+  ```markdown
+  # Debug {language} Error
+  1. Reproduce the error
+  2. Search for error message: `web_search("{error_message} {language}")`
+  3. Check common causes: {common_causes}
+  4. Apply fix and verify
+  ```
+  
+- [ ] **Skill chaining** - Combine skills for complex workflows:
+  - Skills can reference other skills as dependencies
+  - "To do X, first apply skill Y, then skill Z"
+  - Directed graph of skill dependencies
+
+**Files to modify:** `tools/skills_tool.py`, `skills/` directory structure, new `skill_generator.py`
+
+---
+
+## 6. Task Continuation Hints 🎯
+
+**Problem:** Could be more helpful by suggesting logical next steps.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Suggest next steps** - At end of a task, suggest logical continuations:
+  - "Code is written. Want me to also write tests / docs / deploy?"
+  - Based on common workflows for task type
+  - Non-intrusive, just offer options
+
+**Files to modify:** `run_agent.py`, response generation logic
+
+---
+
+## 7. Interactive Clarifying Questions Tool ❓
+
+**Problem:** Agent sometimes makes assumptions or guesses when it should ask the user. Currently can only ask via text, which gets lost in long outputs.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Multiple-choice prompt tool** - Let agent present structured choices to user:
+  ```
+  ask_user_choice(
+    question="Should the language switcher enable only German or all languages?",
+    choices=[
+      "Only enable German - works immediately",
+      "Enable all, mark untranslated - show fallback notice",
+      "Let me specify something else"
+    ]
+  )
+  ```
+  - Renders as interactive terminal UI with arrow key / Tab navigation
+  - User selects option, result returned to agent
+  - Up to 4 choices + optional free-text option
+  
+- [ ] **Implementation:**
+  - Use `inquirer` or `questionary` Python library for rich terminal prompts
+  - Tool returns selected option text (or user's custom input)
+  - **CLI-only** - only works when running via `cli.py` (not API/programmatic use)
+  - Graceful fallback: if not in interactive mode, return error asking agent to rephrase as text
+  
+- [ ] **Use cases:**
+  - Clarify ambiguous requirements before starting work
+  - Confirm destructive operations with clear options
+  - Let user choose between implementation approaches
+  - Checkpoint complex multi-step workflows
+
+**Files to modify:** New `tools/ask_user_tool.py`, `cli.py` (detect interactive mode), `model_tools.py`
+
+---
+
+## 8. Resource Awareness & Efficiency 💰
+
+**Problem:** No awareness of costs, time, or resource usage. Could be smarter about efficiency.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Tool result caching** - Don't repeat identical operations:
+  - Cache web searches, extractions within a session
+  - Invalidation based on time-sensitivity of query
+  - Hash-based lookup: same input → cached output
+
+- [ ] **Lazy evaluation** - Don't fetch everything upfront:
+  - Get summaries first, full content only if needed
+  - "I found 5 relevant pages. Want me to deep-dive on any?"
+
+**Files to modify:** `model_tools.py`, new `resource_tracker.py`
+
+---
+
+## 9. Collaborative Problem Solving 🤝
+
+**Problem:** Interaction is command/response. Complex problems benefit from dialogue.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Assumption surfacing** - Make implicit assumptions explicit:
+  - "I'm assuming you want Python 3.11+. Correct?"
+  - "This solution assumes you have sudo access..."
+  - Let user correct before going down wrong path
+
+- [ ] **Checkpoint & confirm** - For high-stakes operations:
+  - "About to delete 47 files. Here's the list - proceed?"
+  - "This will modify your database. Want a backup first?"
+  - Configurable threshold for when to ask
+
+**Files to modify:** `run_agent.py`, system prompt configuration
+
+---
+
+## 10. Project-Local Context 💾
+
+**Problem:** Valuable context lost between sessions.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Project awareness** - Remember project-specific context:
+  - Store `.hermes/context.md` in project directory
+  - "This is a Django project using PostgreSQL"
+  - Coding style preferences, deployment setup, etc.
+  - Load automatically when working in that directory
+
+- [ ] **Handoff notes** - Leave notes for future sessions:
+  - Write to `.hermes/notes.md` in project
+  - "TODO for next session: finish implementing X"
+  - "Known issues: Y doesn't work on Windows"
+
+**Files to modify:** New `project_context.py`, auto-load in `run_agent.py`
+
+---
+
+## 11. Graceful Degradation & Robustness 🛡️
+
+**Problem:** When things go wrong, recovery is limited. Should fail gracefully.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Fallback chains** - When primary approach fails, have backups:
+  - `web_extract` fails → try `browser_navigate` → try `web_search` for cached version
+  - Define fallback order per tool type
+  
+- [ ] **Partial progress preservation** - Don't lose work on failure:
+  - Long task fails midway → save what we've got
+  - "I completed 3/5 steps before the error. Here's what I have..."
+  
+- [ ] **Self-healing** - Detect and recover from bad states:
+  - Browser stuck → close and retry
+  - Terminal hung → timeout and reset
+
+**Files to modify:** `model_tools.py`, tool implementations, new `fallback_manager.py`
+
+---
+
+## 12. Tools & Skills Wishlist 🧰
+
+*Things that would need new tool implementations (can't do well with current tools):*
+
+### High-Impact
+
+- [ ] **Audio/Video Transcription** 🎬 *(See also: Section 16 for detailed spec)*
+  - Transcribe audio files, podcasts, YouTube videos
+  - Extract key moments from video
+  - Voice memo transcription for messaging integrations
+  - *Provider options: Whisper API, Deepgram, local Whisper*
+  
+- [ ] **Diagram Rendering** 📊
+  - Render Mermaid/PlantUML to actual images
+  - Can generate the code, but rendering requires external service or tool
+  - "Show me how these components connect" → actual visual diagram
+
+### Medium-Impact
+
+- [ ] **Canvas / Visual Workspace** 🖼️
+  - Agent-controlled visual panel for rendering interactive UI
+  - Inspired by OpenClaw's Canvas feature
+  - **Capabilities:**
+    - `present` / `hide` - Show/hide the canvas panel
+    - `navigate` - Load HTML files or URLs into the canvas
+    - `eval` - Execute JavaScript in the canvas context
+    - `snapshot` - Capture the rendered UI as an image
+  - **Use cases:**
+    - Display generated HTML/CSS/JS previews
+    - Show interactive data visualizations (charts, graphs)
+    - Render diagrams (Mermaid → rendered output)
+    - Present structured information in rich format
+    - A2UI-style component system for structured agent UI
+  - **Implementation options:**
+    - Electron-based panel for CLI
+    - WebSocket-connected web app
+    - VS Code webview extension
+  - *Would let agent "show" things rather than just describe them*
+
+- [ ] **Document Generation** 📄
+  - Create styled PDFs, Word docs, presentations
+  - *Can do basic PDF via terminal tools, but limited*
+
+- [ ] **Diff/Patch Tool** 📝
+  - Surgical code modifications with preview
+  - "Change line 45-50 to X" without rewriting whole file
+  - Show diffs before applying
+  - *Can use `diff`/`patch` but a native tool would be safer*
+
+### Skills to Create
+
+- [ ] **Domain-specific skill packs:**
+  - DevOps/Infrastructure (Terraform, K8s, AWS)
+  - Data Science workflows (EDA, model training)
+  - Security/pentesting procedures
+  
+- [ ] **Framework-specific skills:**
+  - React/Vue/Angular patterns
+  - Django/Rails/Express conventions
+  - Database optimization playbooks
+
+- [ ] **Troubleshooting flowcharts:**
+  - "Docker container won't start" → decision tree
+  - "Production is slow" → systematic diagnosis
+
+---
+
+## 13. Messaging Platform Integrations 💬
+
+**Problem:** Agent currently only works via `cli.py` which requires direct terminal access. Users may want to interact via messaging apps from their phone or other devices.
+
+**Architecture:**
+- `run_agent.py` already accepts `conversation_history` parameter and returns updated messages ✅
+- Need: persistent session storage, platform monitors, session key resolution
+
+**Implementation approach:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Platform Monitor (e.g., telegram_monitor.py)               │
+│  ├─ Long-running daemon connecting to messaging platform    │
+│  ├─ On message: resolve session key → load history from disk│
+│  ├─ Call run_agent.py with loaded history                   │
+│  ├─ Save updated history back to disk (JSONL)               │
+│  └─ Send response back to platform                          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Platform support (each user sets up their own credentials):**
+- [ ] **Telegram** - via `python-telegram-bot` or `grammy` equivalent
+  - Bot token from @BotFather
+  - Easiest to set up, good for personal use
+- [ ] **Discord** - via `discord.py`
+  - Bot token from Discord Developer Portal
+  - Can work in servers (group sessions) or DMs
+- [ ] **WhatsApp** - via `baileys` (WhatsApp Web protocol)
+  - QR code scan to authenticate
+  - More complex, but reaches most people
+
+**Session management:**
+- [ ] **Session store** - JSONL persistence per session key
+  - `~/.hermes/sessions/{session_key}.jsonl`
+  - Session keys: `telegram:dm:{user_id}`, `discord:channel:{id}`, etc.
+- [ ] **Session expiry** - Configurable reset policies
+  - Daily reset (default 4am) OR idle timeout (e.g., 2 hours)
+  - Manual reset via `/reset` or `/new` command in chat
+- [ ] **Session continuity** - Conversations persist across messages until reset
+
+**Files to create:** `monitors/telegram_monitor.py`, `monitors/discord_monitor.py`, `monitors/session_store.py`
+
+---
+
+## 14. Scheduled Tasks / Cron Jobs ⏰
+
+**Problem:** Agent only runs on-demand. Some tasks benefit from scheduled execution (daily summaries, monitoring, reminders).
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Cron-style scheduler** - Run agent turns on a schedule
+  - Store jobs in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json`
+  - Each job: `{ id, schedule, prompt, session_mode, delivery }`
+  - Uses APScheduler or similar Python library
+  
+- [ ] **Session modes:**
+  - `isolated` - Fresh session each run (no history, clean context)
+  - `main` - Append to main session (agent remembers previous scheduled runs)
+  
+- [ ] **Delivery options:**
+  - Write output to file (`~/.hermes/cron/output/{job_id}/{timestamp}.md`)
+  - Send to messaging channel (if integrations enabled)
+  - Both
+  
+- [ ] **CLI interface:**
+  ```bash
+  # List scheduled jobs
+  python cli.py --cron list
+  
+  # Add a job (runs daily at 9am)
+  python cli.py --cron add "Summarize my email inbox" --schedule "0 9 * * *"
+  
+  # Quick syntax for simple intervals  
+  python cli.py --cron add "Check server status" --every 30m
+  
+  # Remove a job
+  python cli.py --cron remove <job_id>
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Agent self-scheduling** - Let the agent create its own cron jobs
+  - New tool: `schedule_task(prompt, schedule, session_mode)`
+  - "Remind me to check the deployment tomorrow at 9am"
+  - Agent can set follow-up tasks for itself
+
+- [ ] **In-chat command:** `/cronjob {prompt} {frequency}` when using messaging integrations
+
+**Files to create:** `cron/scheduler.py`, `cron/jobs.py`, `tools/schedule_tool.py`
+
+---
+
+## 15. Text-to-Speech (TTS) 🔊
+
+**Problem:** Agent can only respond with text. Some users prefer audio responses (accessibility, hands-free use, podcasts).
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **TTS tool** - Generate audio files from text
+  ```python
+  tts_generate(text="Here's your summary...", voice="nova", output="summary.mp3")
+  ```
+  - Returns path to generated audio file
+  - For messaging integrations: can send as voice message
+  
+- [ ] **Provider options:**
+  - Edge TTS (free, good quality, many voices)
+  - OpenAI TTS (paid, excellent quality)
+  - ElevenLabs (paid, best quality, voice cloning)
+  - Local options (Coqui TTS, Bark)
+  
+- [ ] **Modes:**
+  - On-demand: User explicitly asks "read this to me"
+  - Auto-TTS: Configurable to always generate audio for responses
+  - Long-text handling: Summarize or chunk very long responses
+  
+- [ ] **Integration with messaging:**
+  - When enabled, can send voice notes instead of/alongside text
+  - User preference per channel
+
+**Files to create:** `tools/tts_tool.py`, config in `cli-config.yaml`
+
+---
+
+## 16. Speech-to-Text / Audio Transcription 🎤
+
+**Problem:** Users may want to send voice memos instead of typing. Agent is blind to audio content.
+
+**Ideas:**
+- [ ] **Voice memo transcription** - For messaging integrations
+  - User sends voice message → transcribe → process as text
+  - Seamless: user speaks, agent responds
+  
+- [ ] **Audio/video file transcription** - Existing idea, expanded:
+  - Transcribe local audio files (mp3, wav, m4a)
+  - Transcribe YouTube videos (download audio → transcribe)
+  - Extract key moments with timestamps
+  
+- [ ] **Provider options:**
+  - OpenAI Whisper API (good quality, cheap)
+  - Deepgram (fast, good for real-time)
+  - Local Whisper (free, runs on GPU)
+  - Groq Whisper (fast, free tier available)
+  
+- [ ] **Tool interface:**
+  ```python
+  transcribe(source="audio.mp3")  # Local file
+  transcribe(source="https://youtube.com/...")  # YouTube
+  transcribe(source="voice_message", data=bytes)  # Voice memo
+  ```
+
+**Files to create:** `tools/transcribe_tool.py`, integrate with messaging monitors
+
+---
+
+## Priority Order (Suggested)
+
+1. **🎯 Subagent Architecture** - Critical for context management, enables everything else
+2. **Memory & Context Management** - Complements subagents for remaining context
+3. **Self-Reflection** - Improves reliability and reduces wasted tool calls  
+4. **Project-Local Context** - Practical win, keeps useful info across sessions
+5. **Messaging Integrations** - Unlocks mobile access, new interaction patterns
+6. **Scheduled Tasks / Cron Jobs** - Enables automation, reminders, monitoring
+7. **Tool Composition** - Quality of life, builds on other improvements
+8. **Dynamic Skills** - Force multiplier for repeated tasks
+9. **Interactive Clarifying Questions** - Better UX for ambiguous tasks
+10. **TTS / Audio Transcription** - Accessibility, hands-free use
+
+---
+
+## Removed Items (Unrealistic)
+
+The following were removed because they're architecturally impossible:
+
+- ~~Proactive suggestions / Prefetching~~ - Agent only runs on user request, can't interject
+- ~~Clipboard integration~~ - No access to user's local system clipboard
+
+The following **moved to active TODO** (now possible with new architecture):
+
+- ~~Session save/restore~~ → See **Messaging Integrations** (session persistence)
+- ~~Voice/TTS playback~~ → See **TTS** (can generate audio files, send via messaging)
+- ~~Set reminders~~ → See **Scheduled Tasks / Cron Jobs**
+

+## 🧪 Brainstorm Ideas (Not Yet Fleshed Out)
+
+*These are early-stage ideas that need more thinking before implementation. Captured here so they don't get lost.*
+
+### Remote/Distributed Execution 🌐
+
+**Concept:** Run agent on a powerful remote server while interacting from a thin client.
+
+**Why interesting:**
+- Run on beefy GPU server for local LLM inference
+- Agent has access to remote machine's resources (files, tools, internet)
+- User interacts via lightweight client (phone, low-power laptop)
+
+**Open questions:**
+- How does this differ from just SSH + running cli.py on remote?
+- Would need secure communication channel (WebSocket? gRPC?)
+- How to handle tool outputs that reference remote paths?
+- Credential management for remote execution
+- Latency considerations for interactive use
+
+**Possible architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────┐         ┌─────────────────────────┐
+│ Thin Client │ ◄─────► │ Remote Hermes Server    │
+│ (phone/web) │  WS/API │ - Full agent + tools    │
+└─────────────┘         │ - GPU for local LLM     │
+                        │ - Access to server files│
+                        └─────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Related to:** Messaging integrations (could be the "server" that monitors receive from)
+
+---
+
+### Multi-Agent Parallel Execution 🤖🤖
+
+**Concept:** Extension of Subagent Architecture (Section 1) - run multiple subagents in parallel.
+
+**Why interesting:**
+- Independent subtasks don't need to wait for each other
+- "Research X while setting up Y" - both run simultaneously
+- Faster completion for complex multi-part tasks
+
+**Open questions:**
+- How to detect which tasks are truly independent?
+- Resource management (API rate limits, concurrent connections)
+- How to merge results when parallel tasks have conflicts?
+- Cost implications of multiple parallel LLM calls
+
+*Note: Basic subagent delegation (Section 1) should be implemented first, parallel execution is an optimization on top.*
+
+---
+
+### Plugin/Extension System 🔌
+
+**Concept:** Allow users to add custom tools/skills without modifying core code.
+
+**Why interesting:**
+- Community contributions
+- Organization-specific tools
+- Clean separation of core vs. extensions
+
+**Open questions:**
+- Security implications of loading arbitrary code
+- Versioning and compatibility
+- Discovery and installation UX
+

-"""Abstract base class for pluggable memory providers.
-
-Memory providers give the agent persistent recall across sessions. One
-external provider is active at a time alongside the always-on built-in
-memory (MEMORY.md / USER.md). The MemoryManager enforces this limit.
-
-Built-in memory is always active as the first provider and cannot be removed.
-External providers (Honcho, Hindsight, Mem0, etc.) are additive — they never
-disable the built-in store. Only one external provider runs at a time to
-prevent tool schema bloat and conflicting memory backends.
-
-Registration:
-  1. Built-in: BuiltinMemoryProvider — always present, not removable.
-  2. Plugins: Ship in plugins/memory/<name>/, activated by memory.provider config.
-
-Lifecycle (called by MemoryManager, wired in run_agent.py):
-  initialize()          — connect, create resources, warm up
-  system_prompt_block()  — static text for the system prompt
-  prefetch(query)        — background recall before each turn
-  sync_turn(user, asst)  — async write after each turn
-  get_tool_schemas()     — tool schemas to expose to the model
-  handle_tool_call()     — dispatch a tool call
-  shutdown()             — clean exit
-
-Optional hooks (override to opt in):
-  on_turn_start(turn, message, **kwargs) — per-turn tick with runtime context
-  on_session_end(messages)               — end-of-session extraction
-  on_pre_compress(messages) -> str       — extract before context compression
-  on_memory_write(action, target, content) — mirror built-in memory writes
-  on_delegation(task, result, **kwargs)  — parent-side observation of subagent work

+ReACT-style agent implementation for atropos-agent.

+
+You are a function calling AI model.
+
+You are provided with function signatures within <tools></tools> XML tags.
+You must call one or more functions to assist with the user query. Don't make assumptions about what values to plug into functions.
+You can ONLY respond without a tool call if you are totally certain you have the final answer to the user's question or task
+After calling & executing a function, you will be provided with function results within <tool_response></tool_response> XML tags.
+
+Here are the available tools:
+<tools>
+{tools_json}
+</tools>
+
+Use the following JSON schema for each tool call you will make:
+{"title": "FunctionCall", "type": "object", "properties": {"name": {"title": "Name", "type": "string"}, "arguments": {"title": "Arguments", "type": "object"}}, "required": ["name", "arguments"]}
+
+## REQUIRED TOOL FORMAT
+
+When you decide to call a tool, your assistant message MUST be:
+1) exactly one <think>...</think> block, followed by
+2) one or more <tool_call>...</tool_call> blocks,
+and NOTHING else in that message.
+
+If you need to explain anything, put it inside <think>. Do NOT write natural language outside <think> or <tool_call>.
+
+For each function call return a JSON object with function name and arguments within <tool_call></tool_call> XML tags as follows:
+<tool_call>
+{"name": "<function-name>", "arguments": {"arg1": "value1"}}
+</tool_call>
+
+Each <tool_call> must be on its own and contain ONLY the JSON object (no extra text).
+The JSON inside <tool_call> MUST be valid JSON with double quotes.
+
+Do NOT output <tool_response> in an assistant message.
+
+After you receive tool results, you may either call more tools (same required format) or provide the final answer.
+When providing the final answer, do NOT include any <tool_call> blocks.
+
+## TERMINAL TOOL NOTES
+
+- Commands execute under POSIX `/bin/sh` (not bash).
+- Each tool call runs in a fresh shell: environment changes (like `cd` or venv activation) do not persist across tool calls.
+- Avoid bash-only features like `source`, `[[ ... ]]`, or process substitution.
+- Prefer explicit venv usage:
+  - `python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && python -m pip install -e .` (POSIX `.` activation), or
+  - `.venv/bin/python -m pip install -e .` (no activation required).
+
+## ICL (examples)
+
+User: Show the current directory.
+Assistant:
+<think>I should run pwd.</think>
+<tool_call>
+{"name": "terminal", "arguments": {"command": "pwd"}}
+</tool_call>
+User: <tool_response>{"success": true, "output": "/tmp\\n"}</tool_response>
