hermes-memory-keep-alive

To keep Hermes agent tasks from losing progress, this Skill generates persistent Obsidian notes like RESUME and CHECKLIST for every task, ensuring state preservation and recovery across agent restarts.

To recover a stalled Hermes long-running task, use the built-in keep-alive loop mechanism which automatically executes Watchdog, Replayer, and Escalator monitoring steps to detect and resume silent failures.

You can save Hermes agent task memory to Obsidian by running the install script with your vault path, which automatically generates persistent DOCS, CHECKLIST, and RESUME notes for every task executed.

Yes, an Obsidian vault is required as the installation script targets the vault directory to store the persistent task notes needed for state preservation and recovery.

Your Hermes agent silently fails on complex multi-step coding sprints due to context window limits or stalled long tasks, which the keep-alive loop detects and recovers from automatically.

You should start the keep-alive loop using the /loop-start command immediately before assigning a complex research project, and execute /loop-stop when the long task is fully completed.
