yuanbao is a Hermes agent skill at version 1.0.0 that enables reliable Yuanbao group chat interactions, @mention notifications, member queries, and direct messaging inside multi-user AI agent environments on Linux, macOS

About

yuanbao is a Claude-compatible skill from nousresearch/hermes-agent version 1.0.0 for Yuanbao (元宝) group chat integration. In Hermes gateways, the agent's normal text reply is automatically delivered as the chat message—no separate send tool is required—and @nickname tokens in replies convert into real @mentions that notify users. The skill supports querying group info and members across Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms. Developers reach for yuanbao when building Hermes-powered agents that must participate in multi-user Yuanbao groups with correct mention handling and member lookup behavior.

  • Three specialized tools for querying group info, listing members, and sending DMs
  • Built-in automatic @mention conversion when you include @nickname in any reply
  • No extra send-message tool required — your normal text reply becomes the group message
  • Cross-platform support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Workflow for finding exact nicknames before mentioning users

Yuanbao Group Interaction

CRITICAL: How Messaging Works

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

ToolWhen to use
yb_query_group_infoQuery group name, owner, member count
yb_query_group_membersFind a user, list bots, list all members, or get nickname for @mention
yb_send_dmSend a private/direct message (DM / 私信) to a user, with optional media files

@Mention Workflow

When you need to @mention / 艾特 someone:

1. Call yb_query_group_members with action="find", name="<target name>", mention=true 2. Get the exact nickname from the response 3. Include @nickname in 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_members first to get the exact nickname — do NOT guess
  • The @mention format: @nickname with 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

When someone asks to send a private message / 私信 / DM to a user:

1. Call yb_send_dm with group_code, name (target user's name), and message 2. The tool automatically finds the user and sends the DM 3. 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_code from the current chat_id (e.g. group:535168412535168412)
  • If you already know the user_id, pass it directly via the user_id parameter to skip lookup
  • If multiple users match the name, the tool returns candidates — ask the user to clarify
  • Do NOT use send_message tool for Yuanbao DMs — use yb_send_dm instead
  • Supports media: images (.jpg/.png/.gif/.webp/.bmp) sent as image messages, other files as documents

Query Group Info

yb_query_group_info({ "group_code": "328306697" })

Query Members

ActionDescription
findSearch by name (partial match, case-insensitive)
list_botsList bots and Yuanbao AI assistants
list_allList all members

Notes

  • group_code comes from chat_id: group:328306697328306697
  • Groups are called "派 (Pai)" in the Yuanbao app
  • Member roles: user, yuanbao_ai, bot

How it compares

Use yuanbao specifically for Hermes plus Yuanbao group semantics; use generic messaging integration skills for non-Yuanbao chat platforms.

FAQ

How does yuanbao send messages in group chat?

yuanbao relies on the Hermes gateway automatically delivering the agent's text reply as the Yuanbao message, so developers do not need a separate send-message tool for group or direct chat delivery.

How do @mentions work in yuanbao?

yuanbao converts @nickname strings included in an agent's reply text into real Yuanbao @mentions that notify the targeted user through the Hermes gateway's built-in mention handling.
