…izer The `avoid-ai-writing` skill was hard-coded in the synthesizer task creation but is not present in the v0.14.0 skill bundle, causing every Kanban swarm synthesizer to crash with 'Unknown skill(s): avoid-ai-writing' in an infinite retry loop. Remove the stale skill reference so the synthesizer spawns without requiring a non-existent skill. Fixes #29415

Thanks for catching this. Automated hermes-sweeper review found that the stale Kanban swarm synthesizer skill reference has since been fixed on current main. Evidence:

Summary
The
avoid-ai-writingskill was hard-coded in the synthesizer task creation but is not present in the v0.14.0 skill bundle, causing every Kanban swarm synthesizer to crash withUnknown skill(s): avoid-ai-writingin an infinite retry loop.Root Cause
hermes_cli/kanban_swarm.py:212referencesskills=["avoid-ai-writing"]which was removed/renamed between v0.13 and v0.14.Fix
Remove the stale skill reference so the synthesizer spawns without requiring a non-existent skill. The synthesizer will run with no skill constraints (empty list), which is the correct behavior when the intended skill no longer exists.
Testing
avoid-ai-writingis not in the current skill bundlewriting-plansexists as a possible intended replacement (but kept fix minimal)test_kanban_swarm.pyshould pass as it doesn't assert on specific skillsFixes #29415
