hermes-memory

What problem does it solve?

This Skill configures Hermes memory for a self-hosted agent so you can keep the built-in memory mode working by default or switch to an external provider when you need more searchable retention, without breaking runtime behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Built-in or external memory setup: Keeps Hermes on built-in memory by default, or wires providers like mem0, openviking, or memori when the user explicitly wants them.
• SSH-first remote administration: Runs entirely on the VPS over SSH, making it suitable for remote deployment and configuration workflows.
• Safe verification and recovery: Checks the Hermes version, installs the correct Python dependency into the Hermes virtual environment, reloads the gateway, verifies memory status, and rolls back on failure.
• Use case: A user wants to upgrade a running Hermes agent from bounded built-in memory to an external provider and confirm that the provider initializes correctly before they continue using the agent.

Quick Start

Tell the assistant to configure Hermes memory on your VPS, keep built-in memory or switch to the provider you choose, and verify that Hermes reports a healthy memory status.
