What problem does it solve? Setting up an animated desktop or terminal mascot for Hermes requires manually finding pet sprites, installing them into the right profile directory, and configuring rendering options. This Skill drives the hermes pets CLI so you can browse, install, select, and troubleshoot petdex mascots without editing config files by hand. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Gallery browsing and installation: Search the public petdex gallery with hermes pets list <query> and install a pet with hermes pets install <slug> --select. - Display configuration: Control the active pet, render mode (kitty, iTerm, sixel, Unicode fallback), and scale via the display.pet section of config.yaml or the hermes pets scale command. - Diagnostics: Run hermes pets doctor to verify a pet is installed, selected, enabled, and that Pillow is importable. - Use Case: You want a cat mascot that reacts to agent activity in your terminal. Run hermes pets list cat, install your choice with --select, preview it with hermes pets show, and confirm the setup with hermes pets doctor. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to browse the petdex gallery for a pet you like, install it with the select flag, and run the doctor command to confirm it is active.
