feat: expose ACP CLI provider skills in the provider snapshot

[YatinKare]

Summary

• discover ACP CLI provider skills by scanning <home>/skills for SKILL.md directories with YAML frontmatter, recursing into category folders
• surface the discovered skills on the provider snapshot as ServerProvider.skills matching how ClaudeSkills and Codex already report theirs
• resolve the provider home from, in order: an explicit homePath setting → the provider's *_HOME env var → ~/.hermes, via a new generic StandardAcpCliSkills module
• wire skills discovery into the shared StandardAcpCliProvider/StandardAcpCliDriver path so that every ACP CLI provider gets skills in the composer $ / / picker

Addresses #236.

Verification

• new StandardAcpCliSkills tests: flat skills, nested category recursion, env-var home resolution, explicit-home precedence, malformed-skip, empty root — all pass
• server typecheck passes
• changed-file formatting passes
• full provider suite passes (59 files, 617 tests)
• full repo test suite passes
• live on my own T3 Code server: skills appear in the composer $ / / picker against a Hermes Agent provider + work in chat.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • ACP CLI providers now automatically discover available skills from their configured home directory.
  • Supports nested skill folders and optional metadata for clearer skill names and descriptions.
  • Provider home locations can be set explicitly or through an environment variable.
  • Hermes now uses the HERMES_HOME environment variable for locating its skills.
• Bug Fixes
  • Invalid, incomplete, or inaccessible skill files are safely skipped without preventing provider availability.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ACP CLI providers now resolve a home directory, discover nested user skills from its skills directory, and include those skills in provider snapshots. Standard driver settings support explicit home paths and environment-variable names. Hermes uses HERMES_HOME.

Changes

ACP CLI skill discovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Skill resolution and discovery apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/StandardAcpCliSkills.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/StandardAcpCliSkills.test.ts	The new module resolves provider home paths, parses optional frontmatter, recursively discovers SKILL.md files, skips invalid entries, handles collisions, and sorts results. Tests cover these behaviors and fallback precedence.
Provider snapshot integration apps/server/src/provider/Layers/StandardAcpCliProvider.ts	The provider status check supplies filesystem and path services, discovers skills after model discovery, falls back to an empty skill list on failure, and includes skills in the provider snapshot.
Driver home configuration apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/StandardAcpCliDriver.ts, apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/HermesDriver.ts	Standard ACP CLI settings forward trimmed home paths and home environment-variable names. Hermes configures HERMES_HOME.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4c207

The provider snapshot can resolve Pi and Fx skills from the Hermes/default home when their own home is not explicitly configured, causing the wrong skills to appear in the picker. The PR is not merge-ready until provider-specific home resolution is corrected or explicitly accepted.

provider-specific home environment variable names and corresponding default home
paths into the ACP CLI skill discovery configuration, ensuring unset homePath
values resolve to each provider’s own directory instead of HERMES_HOME or

A reviewed replacement is available in #240. It preserves this PR’s contributor commits, scopes filesystem discovery to Hermes, and matches Hermes Agent v2026.8.18 for exclusions, support directories, organization gating, disabled skills, platform filters, environment filters, external roots, and provider-instance environment handling. Pi and Fx continue using their native ACP command surfaces.
