SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Honcho memory enables cross-session user modeling and per-profile AI peers within Hermes, unifying user context across conversations while keeping profile-specific memories isolated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-session memory and per-profile AI peers
  • Observations, recall, and dialectic tuning per profile
  • Tools: honcho_profile, honcho_search, honcho_context, honcho_reasoning, honcho_conclude Use case examples include configuring Honcho for multiple Hermes profiles in a shared workspace and troubleshooting memory persistence.

Quick Start

Configure Honcho memory for your Hermes profile by running hermes honcho setup and following the interactive prompts.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enable cross-session memory for Hermes profiles?

Enable cross-session memory for Hermes by running the `hermes honcho setup` command and following the interactive prompts. This configures a `honcho.json` file to unify user context across conversations while keeping profile-specific memories isolated.

What is Honcho per-profile AI peer memory and how does it work?

Honcho per-profile AI peer memory is a system that unifies user context across multiple Hermes conversations while isolating profile-specific memories. It works by tuning observation, recall, and dialectic settings via five dedicated tools to maintain continuity across sessions.

Can I configure Honcho memory for multiple Hermes profiles in a shared workspace?

Yes, you can configure Honcho memory for multiple Hermes profiles in a shared workspace. The system supports per-profile overrides and session scoping within the `honcho.json` configuration, ensuring each profile maintains its own isolated memory context.

What are the five Honcho tools used for in Hermes memory configuration?

The five Honcho tools are `honcho_profile`, `honcho_search`, `honcho_context`, `honcho_reasoning`, and `honcho_conclude`. They provide sensible defaults for managing observation, recall, and dialectic tuning, along with CLI commands for cross-session memory operations.

Why does my Honcho memory not persist across Hermes sessions?

Honcho memory may not persist across Hermes sessions if the `honcho.json` configuration is incorrect or if per-profile overrides are misconfigured. Troubleshoot persistence by verifying your session scoping settings and ensuring the interactive setup completed successfully.

Do I need dependencies to use Honcho dialectic and recall settings with Hermes?

No external dependencies are required to use Honcho dialectic and recall settings with Hermes. The skill operates independently, providing configuration of observation, recall, and dialectic parameters directly through its five built-in tools and CLI commands.
