System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Inventory of optional CLIs Herald can use — whisper, pdftotext, opendataloader-pdf, gws, reminders-cli, obsidian, ffmpeg, jq. Use when the user asks "what do I have", "what am I missing", "what can Herald do yet", or wants a one-shot "install everything missing" sweep. For installing a single tool to unlock a specific feature (PDF extraction, voice memos, etc.), prefer the dedicated skill — it knows the install path inline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Catalog of optional CLIs (whisper, pdftotext, opendataloader-pdf, gws, reminders, obsidian, ffmpeg, jq) and their install/verify steps.
  • Non-destructive guidance to scan the system, confirm actions, and perform bulk installs.
  • Use Case: A new Herald deployment where you want all optional tooling ready for voice memos, PDF processing, and email/calendar integration.

Quick Start

Ask Herald to scan your environment for missing optional tools and guide you through installing any that are required.
