You can manage quest state and memory inside Hermes by loading the DeepScientist plugin, which provides native ds_* tools to create or resume research state, record project memory, and store artifacts directly within the Hermes environment.

The best way to run a multi-stage research workflow is using a structured plugin that enforces stage-scoped operation. It loads only the active stage skill, such as scout or experiment, and routes the quest sequentially while keeping project memory isolated from long-term memory.

To start or resume a research quest in Hermes, load the DeepScientist mode and run ds_list_quests to view existing projects. Then use ds_set_active_quest and ds_get_quest_state to select and continue your research from the correct workflow stage.

Yes, you can leverage optional scripts, references, and assets directories to extend capabilities during a DeepScientist workflow. These resources are directed by SKILL.md and allow you to customize the research process within the Hermes environment.

Yes, the DeepScientist plugin keeps project memory isolated from Hermes long-term memory. It enforces structured usage rules that preserve project-local DeepScientist data, ensuring your research artifacts and state remain separate from the host environment.
