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
| 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
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_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
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_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
yb_query_group_info({ "group_code": "328306697" })Query Members
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
find | Search by name (partial match, case-insensitive) |
list_bots | List bots and Yuanbao AI assistants |
list_all | List all members |
Notes
group_codecomes from chat_id:group:328306697→328306697- Groups are called "派 (Pai)" in the Yuanbao app

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.
