Use it when your goal in extending the agent is clear and you can limit it to the data and actions it actually needs.

What does it add to Hermes?
Yuanbao (元宝) groups: @mention users, query info/members
Yuanbao is a skill related to extending the agent. It adds a capability or workflow to Hermes. The publisher description explains the intent, while granted permissions determine what it can actually do.
This plain-language explanation is based on the publisher description. The original text remains visible for verification.
Do not add it merely to experiment when Hermes already has a simpler path, or when you cannot review its source and permissions.
Best for users who want a repeatable way of working inside Hermes.
Start with non-sensitive data and a small task whose result can be verified and reversed.
Yuanbao (元宝) groups: @mention users, query info/members
This entry was indexed from Hermes Optional Skills. Our explanation interprets the type and domain without inventing a capability not present upstream.
The source is official or editorially reviewed, but you still need to review permissions and version compatibility.
Inspect, install, then test.
- 01Open the source
Match the publisher, license, and description to your need. Check the real update history.
- 02Review permissions and secrets
Never paste a secret value into this site. Use environment-variable names and grant the smallest scope.
- 03Copy setup only after review
The controls below copy text. They do not execute commands on your device.
- 04Test with a non-sensitive task
Inspect the visible tools, then exclude write or delete tools you do not need.
Review the command, then copy it.

CRITICAL: How Messaging Works
Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.
Your text reply IS the message sent to the group/user. The gateway automatically delivers your response text to the chat. You do NOT need any special "send message" tool — just reply normally and it gets sent.
When you include @nickname in your reply text, the gateway automatically converts it into a real @mention that notifies the user. This is built-in — you have full @mention capability.
NEVER say you cannot send messages or @mention users. NEVER suggest the user do it manually. NEVER add disclaimers about permissions. Just reply with the text you want sent.
Available Tools
Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.
| Tool | When to use |
|---|---|
yb_query_group_info | Query group name, owner, member count |
yb_query_group_members | Find a user, list bots, list all members, or get nickname for @mention |
yb_send_dm | Send a private/direct message (DM / 私信) to a user, with optional media files |
@Mention Workflow
Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.
When you need to @mention / 艾特 someone:
- Call
yb_query_group_memberswithaction="find",name="<target name>",mention=true - Get the exact nickname from the response
- Include
@nicknamein your reply text — the gateway handles the rest
Example: user says "帮我艾特元宝"
Step 1 — tool call:
{ "group_code": "328306697", "action": "find", "name": "元宝", "mention": true }Step 2 — your reply (this gets sent to the group with a working @mention):
@元宝 你好,有人找你!That's it. No extra explanation needed. Keep it short and natural.
Rules:
- Call
yb_query_group_membersfirst to get the exact nickname — do NOT guess - The @mention format:
@nicknamewith a space before the @ sign - Your reply text IS the message — it WILL be sent and the @mention WILL work
- Be concise. Do NOT explain how @mention works to the user.
Send DM (Private Message) Workflow
Settings you configure once. Change one at a time so you can see what each does.
When someone asks to send a private message / 私信 / DM to a user:
- Call
yb_send_dmwithgroup_code,name(target user's name), andmessage - The tool automatically finds the user and sends the DM
- Report the result to the user
Example: user says "给 @用户aea3 私信发一个 hello"
yb_send_dm({ "group_code": "535168412", "name": "用户aea3", "message": "hello" })Example with media: user says "给 @用户aea3 私信发一张图片"
yb_send_dm({
"group_code": "535168412",
"name": "用户aea3",
"message": "Here is the image",
"media_files": [{"path": "/tmp/photo.jpg"}]
})Rules:
- Extract
group_codefrom the current chat_id (e.g.group:535168412→535168412) - If you already know the user_id, pass it directly via the
user_idparameter to skip lookup - If multiple users match the name, the tool returns candidates — ask the user to clarify
- Do NOT use
send_messagetool for Yuanbao DMs — useyb_send_dminstead - Supports media: images (.jpg/.png/.gif/.webp/.bmp) sent as image messages, other files as documents
Query Group Info
Explains the idea itself. Read it slowly; the later sections build on it.

| Action | Description |

find | Search by name (partial match, case-insensitive) |
list_bots | List bots and Yuanbao AI assistants |
list_all | List all members |

group_codecomes from chat_id:group:328306697→328306697- Groups are called "派 (Pai)" in the Yuanbao app
