ZacharyZhang-NY 86aa6fdb29 Ship skills built-in: bundle the catalogue, assign per hire, force humanizer
Skills no longer come from the user's ~/.agents library - most users have
none, and the CEO branch that compiled the entire catalogue into its
prompt overflowed the model context (1.1MB) and failed every CEO run.

- Bundle "built-in skills/" with the app (extraResources) and stage it
  at startup into <profile>/builtin-skills as one dir-per-skill copy -
  both bundle shapes (SKILL.md dirs and flat category .md files)
  normalize into the same importable layout
- Import the staged catalogue per org at startup and inside onboarding,
  so the CEO's first run already carries it
- Forced house style: resolveRuntimeSnapshot unions the humanizer skill
  into every agent's runtime (CEO included) as a resolution rule - no
  binding row to forget, delete, or bypass; revoke_skill refuses it
- CEO staffs hires with skills: hire_agent accepts a skills array,
  grant_skill/revoke_skill adjust later, list_skills now shows
  descriptions from skill frontmatter
- Kill the c_suite compile-all branch; everyone resolves bindings-only,
  capped at 200k chars with omissions named in the prompt
- Remove the Skills settings page and its import/sync/test IPC surface;
  drop ~/.agents discovery and the AGENTCOMPANY_NEW_SKILLS_ROOT seam in
  favor of AGENTCOMPANY_NEW_BUILTIN_SKILLS_DIR
- Tests: staging/import/forced-resolution/cap units, real-bundle CI
  check, e2e asserts the tab is gone and the catalogue self-imports

Hermes Agency Agents Router Plugin

Generated by scripts/convert.sh --tool hermes.

This integration installs one Hermes plugin named agency-agents-router instead of adding 232+ generated skills to skills.external_dirs. Hermes sees a small fixed tool surface at startup, while the complete Agency roster is stored on disk in data/agents.json and searched/loaded lazily.

Generated agent count: 232

Tools exposed to Hermes

  • agency_agents_search — find matching specialists by query/division.
  • agency_agents_inspect — inspect one specialist's metadata or full body.
  • agency_agents_load — compose one specialist prompt for the current task.
  • agency_agents_delegate — delegate through Hermes delegate_task when available.

Specialist usage instruction for Hermes

When a Hermes project needs Agency specialists, explicitly ask Hermes to use the agency-agents-router plugin/router and load only the specialists needed for the current phase. Do not ask Hermes to install or preload the full Agency roster as skills.

Recommended project instruction:

Use the agency-agents-router plugin. Search the Agency roster for the right
specialists, then load or delegate only the specific agents needed for each
part of the project. For multi-discipline projects, use multiple selected
specialists across the project, but keep routing lazy: do not preload the
full Agency roster and do not add agency-agents to skills.external_dirs.

Example:

For this Data Swami build, use the agency-agents-router plugin to pick
relevant Agency specialists. Search first, then delegate to selected agents
such as frontend, backend, UX, QA, data engineering, and product strategy as
needed. Load/delegate each specialist on demand rather than loading all
Agency agents at startup.

Install

./scripts/convert.sh --tool hermes
./scripts/install.sh --tool hermes

The installer copies the generated plugin to:

${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/plugins/agency-agents-router

It then enables agency-agents-router under plugins.enabled in the Hermes config. It does not write to skills.external_dirs.
