On Discord, Telegram, Slack and Matrix a plain `/branch` used to rebind the CURRENT chat/thread's session key to the clone, ending the original session on that surface. The user could not keep the original path live while exploring an alternate one — the opposite of what a branch is for. Now the handler opens a sibling thread through the adapter's existing `create_handoff_thread` BEFORE cloning (a failed create never orphans a branch row), binds the thread's own session key to the clone with the thread's routing columns written at create time, and leaves the origin key untouched. `/branch --here` keeps the legacy in-place switch; platforms without threads, DMs, unknown Discord parents and adapters that cannot open a thread fall back to in-place with a one-line note. The CLI strips the flag through the same parser so `--here` never becomes a session title. Destination source shapes mirror each adapter's inbound key (Discord keys threads on their own id; Telegram/Slack/Matrix on the parent chat), the same rules the CLI->platform handoff uses. Live repro (real gateway + real Slack adapter against a stand-in Slack Socket Mode/Web API): base ends the origin session and rebinds its key; fixed posts the thread seed, replies "this chat stays on it", the origin thread keeps its session and the follow-up typed in the new thread lands on the branch (parent_session_id = origin). Design and first implementation by Angello Picasso (#66014, #66024); this is a slim port onto the split slash_commands_* layout. Co-authored-by: Angello Picasso <angello.picasso@devsu.com>
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.
