The section list decided membership as well as order, so it drifted as the
docs grew: 109 of 204 pages were absent from the index every LLM reads to
learn what Hermes does — Bot Mode, the desktop app, computer use, web search,
skins, Mixture of Agents, and 22 messaging platforms among them.
Enumerate the docs tree instead. SECTIONS now curates only which pages lead a
section; anything it does not name is absorbed under its path, and a page
matching no section lands in "More" rather than falling out. This also picks
up the three .mdx pages the .md-only glob never saw, points section landing
pages at the directory URL Docusaurus actually serves, and drops a curated row
still aimed at a guide moved to developer-guide/plugins in #59613.
Tests hold both directions against the filesystem rather than the enumerator,
so a page cannot go missing and a link cannot point at a page that moved.
Replace with for all literal-tuple
membership tests. Set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple — consistent
micro-optimization across the codebase.

AGENTS.md is the AI-assistant entry doc, so its counts get used as ground
truth. Several values had drifted, and the same drift had spread to a few
user-facing surfaces. Fixing all of them in one commit so the count claims
agree and clearly distinguish gateway-core from plugin-shipped platforms.
AGENTS.md:
- run_agent.py "~12k LOC" → "~14k LOC as of 2026-05-03" (actual 14,097)
- cli.py "~11k LOC" → "~12k LOC as of 2026-05-03" (actual 12,043)
- tools/environments/ list now lists all 7 user-selectable terminal backends
in canonical order, matching tools/terminal_tool.py:2214-2215
- gateway/platforms/ list adds yuanbao and wecom_callback; the 19 names
match the user-facing list at website/docs/integrations/index.md
- plugins/ tree now mentions plugins/platforms/ (irc, teams)
- tests/ snapshot "~15k tests across ~700 files as of Apr 2026" →
"~19k tests across ~890 files as of 2026-05-03"
User-facing count claims:
- hermes_cli/tips.py:195 — "19 platforms" → "21 messaging platforms" with
IRC and Microsoft Teams added to the named list
- website/docs/index.md:49 — "6 terminal backends" → "7 terminal backends:
..., Vercel Sandbox" (also corrected by PR #19044; same edit content)
- website/docs/index.md:50 — "15+ platforms from one gateway" → "21+ messaging
platforms (19 in the gateway, plus IRC and Microsoft Teams via plugins)"
- website/docs/integrations/index.md:83-85 — "15+ messaging platforms" → "19+",
added yuanbao to the linked list. The surrounding text scopes it to "configured
through the same gateway subsystem", so plugin platforms (IRC, Teams) are
intentionally not in this list
- website/scripts/generate-llms-txt.py:205 — "15+ platforms" → "21+ messaging
platforms — 19 native to the gateway plus IRC and Microsoft Teams via plugins"
LOC and date stamps follow the existing AGENTS.md "as of <date>" convention
(line 56 already used this pattern). Source of truth for the gateway count is
gateway/config.py:130-148 (PlatformID enum); plugin platforms live in
plugins/platforms/.
Out of scope:
- RELEASE_v0.9.0.md historical "16 platforms" claim (immutable history)
- userStories.json verbatim user quotes
- Programmatic count generation from gateway/config.py + plugin manifests
is a worthwhile build-system change but separate from these content fixes
Two machine-readable entry points to the Hermes Agent docs:
/llms.txt curated index of every doc page, one link per page
with short descriptions. ~17 KB, safe to load into
an LLM context window.
/llms-full.txt every page under website/docs/ concatenated as markdown.
~1.8 MB. For one-shot ingestion by coding agents and
RAG pipelines.
Both files are also served from /docs/llms.txt and /docs/llms-full.txt
(Docusaurus serves website/static/ under baseUrl=/docs/). Some agents and
IDE plugins probe the classic site-root path; the deploy workflow now copies
both files to _site root so either URL works.
Conforms to the emerging llmstxt.org spec: H1 project name, blockquote
summary, short install command, GitHub link, then curated sections
mirroring the docs-site navigation (Getting Started, Using Hermes,
Features, Messaging, Integrations, Guides, Developer Guide, Reference).
Generated by website/scripts/generate-llms-txt.py. Wired into prebuild.mjs
so every 'npm run build' and 'npm run start' refreshes the files alongside
the existing skills.json extraction. Both outputs are gitignored (same
precedent as src/data/skills.json).
Descriptions in llms.txt are pulled from each page's frontmatter, so they
stay current automatically. All ~80 section slugs are validated against
the filesystem at generation time; an invalid slug would fail the prebuild.
