## Features

- Deep-teal / warm-cream phosphor-decay palette sampled from the Hermes reference site
- Invert-based light mode (`html.light { filter: invert(1); }`) with `.no-invert` escape for images, code, and KaTeX
- Terminal-style post meta (`$ cat posts/slug.md`), blink cursor, grid-framed panels
- Sticky TOC with scroll-based highlighting via IntersectionObserver
- `/`-triggered search modal, client-side fuzzy filter, arrow-key navigation
- Code block COPY button, Prism token overrides
- `g` chord navigation (`g h` = home, `g a` = archives, `g t` = tags), `t` toggles theme
- KaTeX opt-in via `math: true` front-matter
- English + zh-CN language packs (extendable)
- Mobile hamburger drawer, 3 responsive breakpoints (1200, 768, 480)
- OFL fonts bundled (Young Serif, Archivo, Archivo Narrow, Courier Prime)

## Install

Requires Hexo 7+.

### Via npm (recommended)

```bash
cd your-hexo-blog
npm install hexo-theme-hermes-agent
```

Then set `theme: hermes-agent` in the site's `_config.yml`.

The theme's runtime dependencies (`hexo-renderer-ejs`, `hexo-renderer-sass-next`, `hexo-generator-search`) are installed automatically as transitive dependencies.

### Via git clone

Use this if you want to fork the theme or edit its files directly.

```bash
cd your-hexo-blog
git clone https://github.com/zhiwei-Feng/hexo-theme-hermes-agent themes/hermes-agent
npm install hexo-renderer-ejs hexo-renderer-sass-next hexo-generator-search
```

Then set `theme: hermes-agent` in the site's `_config.yml`.

## Configuration

When installed via npm, do **not** edit files under `node_modules/`. Instead, create an **alternate theme config** at your site root:

```
your-hexo-blog/
├── _config.yml
├── _config.hermes-agent.yml   ← create this file; overrides the theme defaults
└── source/
```

Hexo merges `_config.<theme-name>.yml` on top of the theme's packaged `_config.yml` automatically (see [Hexo — Alternate Theme Config](https://hexo.io/docs/configuration#Alternate-Theme-Config)).

When installed via git clone, either edit `themes/hermes-agent/_config.yml` directly or use the same `_config.hermes-agent.yml` pattern.

All available keys:

```yaml
# Override the display title and tagline shown above the nav.
# Defaults to config.title / config.subtitle if left empty.
site_title: ""
tagline: ""

# Top navigation entries. Each entry needs `name` and either `path` (site-relative) or `url` (absolute).
nav:
  - { name: ARCHIVE, path: /archives/ }
  - { name: TAGS, path: /tags/ }
  - { name: ABOUT, path: /about/ }

# Light/dark strategy.
# `invert` (default): light mode is achieved via `filter: invert(1)` on `html.light`.
# `classic`: reserved for v0.2; will use a conventional light colour palette.
theme_mode: invert

# Which post appears in the homepage featured card.
# `latest`: always the most recent post.
# `front_matter`: post with `featured: true` in its front-matter, falling back to newest.

## Customizing fonts

The bundled OFL fonts cover most use cases. To swap in a commercial typeface (e.g. `Mondwest-Regular.woff2`):

1. Drop the `.woff2` file into your site's `source/fonts/` directory (Hexo copies `source/` to `public/` on build).
2. Create a custom stylesheet — for example `source/css/custom.css` — and declare the `@font-face` there. Load it after the theme by adding it to your layout or via `hexo-inject`.
3. Override the CSS custom property the theme exposes:

```scss
@font-face {
  font-family: "Mondwest";
  src: url("/fonts/Mondwest-Regular.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
}

:root {
  --font-display: "Mondwest", serif;
}
```

The theme uses `var(--font-display)` for all headings and the site title, so a single property override is sufficient.
