system-inventory - Local environment inspection
Use this skill to understand the machine before running setup, build, browser,
or deployment workflows.
Workflow
- Collect OS, Python, shell, current directory, disk, and command availability.
- Redact sensitive environment values; report presence rather than contents.
- Use JSON output when another script or agent will consume the result.
- Avoid changing system state during inventory.
Script
~/.hermes/skills/system-inventory/scripts/system_inventory.py
Checks
| Check | Purpose |
|---|
| OS and architecture | Pick platform-specific instructions |
| Command availability | Detect missing tools before work starts |
| Disk space | Avoid failed downloads/builds |
| Python executable/version | Choose compatible scripts |
| Sensitive env presence | Know whether API-backed tools can run without leaking values |
