* refactor(skills): shipped-set slim — 15 skills to optional, github six-way merge, pdf absorbs OCR+nano-pdf, channel-gated teams pipeline
Maintainer-directed shipped-skills curation (skills index 1,900 -> ~1,400
tok/call on desktop; every session pays the index, so this is a per-call
diet on all installs):
- optional-skills moves (installable via skills hub, history preserved):
creative comfyui/ascii-art/excalidraw/pretext/sketch/touchdesigner-mcp;
ALL of mlops (huggingface-hub, llama-cpp, serving-llms-vllm,
weights-and-biases, evaluating-llms-harness — subcategory structure
kept); research-paper-writing (55 supporting files, 17.3K-tok load);
openhue; blogwatcher (first taught the cronjob monitor-field watch
pattern + web_extract instead of pre-cron manual workflows)
- DELETED session-librarian (Aug-12 'inspired by Perplexity Computer'
port, never maintainer-intended; session_search covers discovery)
- github: six skills (auth, issues, pr-workflow, issue-to-pr,
code-review, repo-management) merged into ONE software-development/
github skill — routing body + complete per-workflow references;
benbarclay authorship credited; codebase-inspection rides along;
discipline pins from test_github_issue_to_pr_skill.py preserved
against the reference body in the new test_github_skill.py
- pdf absorbs ocr-and-documents + nano-pdf as references/ + scripts
(extract_pymupdf, extract_marker converted to the argparse house
standard its contract test enforces)
- NEW session_platforms frontmatter gate (metadata.hermes): hides a
skill from the index on gateway channels it is not for; fail-open on
unknown platform; teams-meeting-pipeline gated to [teams, cron]
- blocked-page-recovery: research -> new web category; trigger-first
description ('Use when a fetch fails: 403/429, paywall, WAF, bot
wall.') so the model actually reaches for it on blocked fetches
- docs regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (195 pages); related_skills
swept repo-wide; tests: 1672 passed (2 openclaw failures pre-existing
on clean main, Windows-local)
* chore: ignore .skills_prompt_snapshot.json (local index cache, accidentally committed)
Intended placement per PR #17610 discussion — comfyui belongs in
skills/creative/ alongside other creative built-ins (touchdesigner-mcp,
pretext, sketch), not in optional-skills/.
Pure directory rename, no content changes. History preserved via git mv.
Layers a programmatic hardware-feasibility check on top of the v4 skill
so the agent doesn't silently push users toward a local install they
can't actually run. The official comfy-cli supports --nvidia / --amd /
--m-series / --cpu, but has no guard against "4 GB laptop GPU on SDXL"
or "Intel Mac falling back to CPU" — both route to comfy-cli paths in
the original table and then fail on first workflow.
- scripts/hardware_check.py: detect OS/arch/GPU (NVIDIA nvidia-smi,
AMD rocm-smi, Apple M1+ via arm64+sysctl, Intel Arc via clinfo),
VRAM, system/unified RAM. Emits JSON
{verdict: ok|marginal|cloud, recommended_install_path, comfy_cli_flag}
with practical thresholds: discrete GPU >=6 GB VRAM minimum,
Apple Silicon >=16 GB unified memory minimum, Intel Mac -> cloud,
no accelerator -> cloud. comfy_cli_flag maps directly to
`comfy install` so the agent can stitch the whole flow together.
- scripts/comfyui_setup.sh: runs hardware_check.py first when no
explicit flag is passed. If verdict=cloud, refuses to install
locally, prints Comfy Cloud URL + an override command, exits 2.
Otherwise auto-selects the right --nvidia/--amd/--m-series flag
for `comfy install`. Surfaces marginal-verdict notes to the user.
- SKILL.md Setup & Onboarding: adds mandatory Step 0 "Check If This
Machine Can Run ComfyUI Locally" ahead of the Path A-E selection.
Documents the verdict thresholds inline, ties verdict + comfy_cli_flag
to the install paths, and updates the path-choice table so
"verdict: cloud" is the first row. Quick-Start "Detect Environment"
block extended to include the hardware check. Verification
checklist gains a hardware-check gate.
- Frontmatter setup.help rewritten to point at hardware_check.py
first. Version bumped 4.0.0 -> 4.1.0.
