SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill resolves frustrating cross-layer synchronization issues with Hermes TUI slash commands, where bugs arise from mismatches between the Python backend command registry, TUI gateway bridge, and Ink frontend handlers—leading to missing autocomplete entries, inconsistent behavior between CLI and TUI, or config changes that fail to apply live to the interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-layer diagnosis: Walks through verifying command definitions across the Python COMMAND_REGISTRY (source of truth), TUI gateway dispatch logic, and Ink frontend handlers to pinpoint mismatches.
  • Targeted fixes for common issues: Provides step-by-step solutions for missing autocomplete, non-functional TUI commands, inconsistent CLI/TUI behavior, and live UI state not updating after config changes.
  • Use case: If you added a new slash command that works in the Hermes CLI but does not appear in the TUI autocomplete or fails to execute in the interface, this Skill guides you through the exact changes needed to align all layers.

Quick Start

Use the debugging-hermes-tui-commands skill to fix a Hermes TUI slash command that is missing from autocomplete, not working in the TUI, or not applying config changes live to the interface.

FAQPage Schema
Why are my Hermes TUI slash commands missing from autocomplete after adding them to the CLI?

Slash commands missing from TUI autocomplete usually stem from a mismatch between the Python command registry and the Ink frontend. You need to verify that entries in the command registry are correctly synchronized with the TUI gateway dispatch logic and frontend handlers to populate autocomplete suggestions.

How do I fix slash commands that work in the Hermes CLI but fail to execute in the TUI interface?

To fix TUI execution failures, verify that the gateway dispatch logic in the TUI server correctly routes commands to the frontend handlers. The gateway must align with the canonical Python command definition source of truth to ensure consistent CLI and TUI execution.

How do I diagnose cross-layer synchronization bugs in Hermes TUI slash commands?

Diagnose cross-layer synchronization bugs by verifying command definitions across the Python command registry, the TUI gateway JSON-RPC bridge, and the Ink TypeScript frontend handlers. Pinpointing mismatches across these three layers isolates the root cause of inconsistent slash command behavior.

What causes Hermes TUI slash commands to not apply live UI state updates after config changes?

Live UI state not updating after config changes occurs when the Ink TypeScript frontend handlers fail to sync with the TUI gateway. You must ensure the frontend handler implementations align with the canonical command definition source of truth to apply live updates correctly.

Do I need to update TypeScript frontend handlers when adding new Python CLI commands to Hermes?

Yes, when adding new Python CLI commands, you must update the Ink TypeScript frontend handlers and the TUI gateway dispatch logic. Aligning all layers with the command registry source of truth ensures the new slash commands function correctly in the TUI interface.
