System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes stalled or broken Hermes gateway restarts on a remote VPS by clearing stale PID and lock files, then bringing the service back up cleanly and verifying it is healthy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Safe Gateway Recovery: Stops the gateway gracefully, sweeps stale lock files, and restarts with a clean process state.
  • SSH-First Maintenance: Works entirely over SSH on the remote host, with checks for host-versus-container environments.
  • Health Verification and Persistence: Confirms the gateway is running, checks logs and health endpoints, and can optionally reinstall autostart for reboot survival.
  • Use Case: A Hermes deployment gets stuck in a restart loop after a crash or OOM event; this Skill clears the stale state and returns the gateway to service without manual debugging.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to cleanly restart the Hermes gateway on your VPS, clear stale PID and lock files, and verify that the service is healthy afterward.
