SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps diagnose and resolve silent failures, stale status reports, configuration mistakes, connectivity issues, and unexpected behavior when integrating tools, daemons, messaging platforms, or services with Hermes Agent.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Incident-Based Troubleshooting: Provides a quick-reference index of recurring Hermes integration failures involving Telegram, Feishu, gateway processes, configuration files, memory tools, databases, and MCP services.
  • Verified Diagnostic Procedures: Recommends live checks using process, port, log, and health-endpoint evidence instead of relying on stale status or historical manifests.
  • Repair Guidance: Explains correct proxy schemes, chat identifiers, YAML path escaping, API authentication, database boundaries, daemon recovery, degraded send-path handling, and dependency compatibility.
  • Use Case: When Hermes reports that a gateway is running but messages are not delivered, use the relevant incident guidance to verify the process, listening ports, logs, and live health endpoint before applying the appropriate fix.

Quick Start

Use the via54hermes-pitfalls skill before debugging a silent failure or stale status in a Hermes Agent integration and follow the matching diagnostic and verification procedure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Hermes Agent silent failures when messages are not delivered?

To debug Hermes Agent silent failures, verify the gateway process, listening ports, logs, and live health endpoints instead of relying on stale status. Apply incident-specific recovery guidance for proxy schemes, chat identifiers, and degraded send-path handling.

Why does my Hermes gateway report running status but Telegram or Feishu messages fail to send?

Gateway stale status often masks inactive daemons or blocked network paths. Run live checks on process availability, port bindings, and health endpoints to validate the actual service state before repairing API authentication or proxy configurations.

What is the best way to resolve configuration and YAML path errors in Hermes Agent deployments?

Resolving configuration and YAML path errors requires correct YAML path escaping and verifying database boundaries. Check configuration files against live service operations to ensure daemon recovery and dependency compatibility are maintained.

How do I verify MCP daemon connectivity and recover from integration errors with Hermes Agent?

Verify MCP daemon connectivity by gathering live network evidence and checking process health. Recover from integration errors by applying corrected proxy schemes and validating dependency compatibility across cross-platform service operations.

Can I use historical manifests to diagnose stale status reports in Hermes Agent integrations?

Historical manifests are insufficient for diagnosing stale status in Hermes Agent integrations. You must require live verification using process, port, log, health, or network evidence to accurately identify and resolve silent failures.
