Every SKILL.md, reference and helper script that told the agent to write
scratch files, clones, worktrees, logs or screenshots under /tmp now uses the
Hermes scratch dir (~/.hermes/cache/scratch, or $TMPDIR / the
${TMPDIR:-${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes}/cache/scratch} fallback in scripts):
/tmp is RAM-backed tmpfs on most distros and fills under agent load, and it
does not exist on Termux or native Windows. Python snippets that take the
path expand ~ explicitly. Placeholder-only examples (MCP filesystem root,
media path) use /path/to/... instead. The four remaining literals name /tmp
as the anti-pattern or mirror upstream PyTorch docs and carry a no-tmp marker.
