teknium1 2dcebe6471 feat: Hermes-owned scratch dir replaces the system temp dir for every process and child
Hermes and everything it launches (browser profiles, PTY probes, skill scripts,
tempfile defaults in delegated code) wrote to the system temp dir, which is a
RAM-backed tmpfs on most Linux hosts and containers and fills under agent load.

- hermes_constants.get_scratch_dir(): HERMES_HOME/cache/scratch (0700), entries
  older than 72h pruned once per process / once per hour across processes.
- apply_scratch_tmp_env(env) / export_scratch_tmp_env(): TMPDIR/TMP/TEMP point at
  the scratch dir when the user or OS has not set them; a value Hermes itself
  exported (== HERMES_SCRATCH_DIR) is re-derived for a re-homed process or a
  child served under another profile, so profiles never share scratch.
- hermes_bootstrap runs the export on import (every entry point); hermes_cli.main
  re-runs it after --profile resolution; the subprocess HOME contract
  (apply_subprocess_home_env) and the routed-home rewrites in code_execution_env
  and served_profile_child_env apply it to child envs.
- The runtime-environment prompt block names the scratch dir so the model stops
  reaching for the system temp dir by reflex; hermes doctor reports the dir, its
  size and whether a user TMPDIR overrides it.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Reading the docs on GitHub? The Markdown under docs/ is authored for the rendered site at https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/. Cross-page links are relative Markdown paths, so they follow through on GitHub's file viewer too. Every page on the site has an Edit this page link that opens the source file here.

  • Link to another page with a relative Markdown path, anchors included: [Profiles](../user-guide/profiles.md), [Bundles](../user-guide/features/skills.md#skill-bundles). Docusaurus turns the file path into the page route; GitHub follows the same path. Site routes (/user-guide/profiles, /docs/user-guide/profiles) only work on the rendered site — GitHub resolves them as repository paths and 404s, and the /docs/ form also emits /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... 404s in the zh-Hans build because baseUrl is already /docs/.
  • python3 website/scripts/check_doc_links.py fails on any route-style link in hand-authored pages (EN and the zh-Hans mirror); --fix rewrites them. It runs in the Docs Site Checks workflow. Generated pages (user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional}, reference/*skills-catalog.md) are produced by scripts/generate-skill-docs.py, which emits the same relative form.
  • Pin {#anchor} on cross-linked headings so the zh-Hans mirror keeps the same id.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
