How These Were Missed

The June 13, 2026 PM sweep documented 72 skills from nousresearch/hermes-agent via browser-based repo page sweep. However, the snapshot truncation bug (295-element limit) caused 23 skills below the fold to be missed. This daily sweep used the REST API (q=nousresearch/hermes-agent&limit=50) which returned all 50 skills, catching the ones the browser missed.
