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.
