What problem does it solve? Hermes Agent users often misplace configuration rules — stuffing operational instructions into SOUL.md, letting memory overflow past capacity, or duplicating rules across files. This Skill provides clear guidance on what belongs where and how to keep memory and profiles optimized. ## Core Features & Use Cases - SOUL.md Design: Defines what belongs in SOUL.md (identity, tone, communication style) versus what must go elsewhere (operational rules, workflows, formatting), with a three-section structural template. - Memory Optimization: Covers batch atomic memory operations via the operations array, stale reference detection (outdated filenames, version numbers, progress markers), and capacity targets under 70%. - Configuration Layering Model: Maps the five-layer model — SOUL.md for identity, AGENTS.md for project rules, skills for workflows, and memory for persistent preferences and environment notes. - Use Case: When your Hermes memory exceeds 80% capacity with stale entries, use this Skill to batch-remove outdated references, replace inaccurate entries, and merge duplicates in a single atomic call. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to review your SOUL.md and memory usage, then optimize stale entries and confirm the configuration layering is correct.
