SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the complexity of managing and debugging s6-overlay services within the Hermes Agent Docker environment, ensuring that containerized processes, profile gateways, and boot scripts operate reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Service Inspection: Provides tools to verify the status of s6-supervised services and profile gateways.
  • Lifecycle Management: Enables manual control over starting, stopping, and restarting containerized services.
  • Boot Reconciliation: Helps diagnose issues with container initialization, UID/GID remapping, and profile gateway restoration.
  • Use Case: If a per-profile gateway fails to start after a container restart, use this skill to inspect the s6 service status and manually trigger a service restart to restore functionality.

Quick Start

Use the hermes-s6-container-supervision skill to inspect the status of the gateway service for the profile named coder.
