Conversation
Bot Mode ships built into the desktop app (default on) but only had a short section in desktop.md. This adds a dedicated user-guide page covering the Bots roster, creating and editing Bots, avatars, routines, group chats, bot-to-bot messaging (agent.bot_mode_protocol), the multi-connection roster, and CLI parity.

What
website/docs/user-guide/bot-mode.md, a dedicated user-guide page for Bot Mode: the Bots roster, creating and editing Bots, avatars, routines, group chats, bot-to-bot messaging (agent.bot_mode_protocol), the multi-connection roster, and CLI parity.website/sidebars.tsright after the Desktop App page.Why
Bot Mode ships built into the desktop app and is on by default (#87886), and it just got announced publicly, but the docs only cover it as a short section inside the Desktop App page. The archived plugin repo's README is currently the closest thing to a full doc and it redirects people back here. This gives the feature a real home page; the Desktop App section can shrink to a pointer at the team's discretion.
Two related crumbs I deliberately left out of this PR (my fork predates the current pages, so clean single-purpose diffs weren't possible):
user-guide/multi-connection-desktop.mdstill links Bot Mode to the archivedNousResearch/Hermes-Bot-Moderepo, anduser-guide/desktop.mdcould cross-link the new page from its Bot Mode section. Both are one-liners if someone wants to pick them up in-tree.Every behavioural claim is verified against the in-tree source at aeabff6 (
apps/desktop/src/plugins/hermes-bots/plugin.js,tools/bot_mode_probe.py) or the existing desktop.md section. Happy to edit or close freely.
