A fresh dashboard /chat always spawned the TUI in the dashboard process's launch directory, so from a phone or any browser there was no way to aim a new session at a specific repository. Amp's runners now serve many directories and the web composer offers a picker of the runner's projects and discovered git checkouts; this ports that mechanism onto the surface Hermes already has: the dashboard is the phone/web front, the host's projects.db + repo-discovery cache are the served directories. - GET /api/chat/workspaces: the profile's projects (with folders) and discovered repos (session-derived + scanned), default_cwd, home; ?scan=1 rescans desktop.repo_scan_roots on the host, so headless installs (no Desktop to populate the cache) discover repos too. - /api/pty?cwd=<dir>: validated (existing directory, fail-closed 400 via the PTY error path) and forwarded to the TUI child as HERMES_CWD (self-spawned gateway cwd) + HERMES_TUI_CWD (explicit cwd on session.create for the dashboard's in-memory gateway, whose own cwd is the launch dir). Resumed sessions ignore it. - ui-tui: session.create carries cwd when HERMES_TUI_CWD is set, so /new inside a dashboard chat stays in the picked workspace too. - web: workspace selector in the Chat rail above "New chat" (projects, repos by recency, Other path…, rescan), remembered per profile in localStorage; 17 locales. - docs: web-dashboard.md rail + REST sections. Live E2E: real `hermes dashboard` under a scratch HOME with two git repos under desktop.repo_scan_roots -> /api/chat/workspaces?scan=1 lists both; /api/pty?cwd=repo-a -> TUI status bar shows ~/code/repo-a; /api/pty?cwd=<missing> -> "Working directory does not exist" + close.
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.
Authoring links in docs/
- 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 becausebaseUrlis already/docs/. python3 website/scripts/check_doc_links.pyfails on any route-style link in hand-authored pages (EN and the zh-Hans mirror);--fixrewrites them. It runs in theDocs Site Checksworkflow. Generated pages (user-guide/skills/{bundled,optional},reference/*skills-catalog.md) are produced byscripts/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.
