Spotify and Linear integrations were removed from the framework.
Positive users praised Teknium's bundled skills cleanup for AI agent environments as optimized and professional with useful defaults, while negative users accused it of nerfing Hermes to appease Theo.

This is not 'caving in' Nous Research has built something incredible which gets sharper with feedback
At the same time, it is about being the bigger person. Yes, many things get a further push in popularity by the means of continued controversy. Hermes Agent is just not one of them.
Appreciate this
