hermes skills search displays results in a terminal table where the Identifier column is truncated to a fixed width, cutting off the hash suffix that's part of the actual skill slug. Users copy the truncated identifier and hermes skills install fails because it needs the full slug.

Root Cause

Summary

hermes skills search displays results in a terminal table where the Identifier column is truncated to a fixed width, cutting off the hash suffix that's part of the actual skill slug. Users copy the truncated identifier and hermes skills install fails because it needs the full slug.

Steps to Reproduce

$ hermes skills search "weather.gov"
┃ Identifier        ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ browse-sh/weathe… │   ← truncated!
│ browse-sh/weathe… │   ← truncated!
└───────────────────┘

Copying the truncated identifier and trying to install:

$ hermes skills install "browse-sh/weather.gov/get-forecast"   ← fails

The actual identifier is browse-sh/weather.gov/get-forecast-1uezib — the -1uezib hash is invisible in the table.

Expected Behavior

Either:

  1. The Identifier column should be wide enough to show the full slug, or
  2. The table should use a copyable format (or provide a --json flag) so users can get the full identifier programmatically

Impact

Browse.sh skills are completely unusable via search → install because the necessary hash can't be seen. Users must guess or find the hash through other means.

Environment

  • Hermes Agent current main
  • Terminal width affects truncation point but never wide enough for browse.sh slugs (browse-sh/domain.com/skill-name-XXXXXX)
