From 7a45925e42fff6d64c0c657ba81c8df84450b3c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aman113114-IITD Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 11:25:53 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs(profiles): document --no-skills in the user-guide profile guide MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The --no-skills flag was added to 'hermes profile create' (#20986) and is documented in the command reference, but the user-guide profile guide — the page users actually read day-to-day — still only listed --clone, --clone-all, and --clone-from. Add a 'Skip bundled skills' subsection alongside the existing clone subsections and link to the command-reference entry.
