Hermes keeps finding ways to make agent work cost fewer tokens. And the latest cuts are automatic. Recent changes reduced recurring context overhead across several parts of Hermes: • Desktop’s model-facing UI tool schema dropped 41% • Memory and Skills guidance went from 537 to 255 tokens • Desktop’s...

HERMES AGENT: 5 USEFUL COMMUNITY PLUGINS RIGHT NOW Hermes already ships with strong core features — Skills, MCP, Memory, Curator, and a plugin system. These extensions don’t replace anything in the core. They fill practical gaps. Here are the ones worth installing: 1. hermes-plugins by 42-evey Solid collection. Adds goal management, inter-agent communication, cost tracking, and easier model switching. Good for running Hermes autonomously. 2. web-search-plus Much stronger web search than the default. Supports multiple providers, smart routing, quality scoring, and a proper research mode. 3. super-hermes by Cranot Adds “Prisms” — structured analytical frameworks. Makes the agent noticeably better at deep analysis and catching its own blind spots. 4. Hermes Agent Self-Evolution (by Nous Research) Official companion that automatically improves skills and prompts using DSPy + GEPA. Useful if you want the agent to get better over time with minimal manual work. 5. Advanced Memory Providers When built-in memory isn’t enough for long projects, external providers give Hermes stronger long-term recall and context handling. All of these work cleanly on top of Hermes v0.16.0 without conflicting with core systems. Which plugins or extensions are you actually using with Hermes right now? Github links 👇

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT TOOLS IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT BUILDS 3D TOWERS IN BLENDER, CHECKS STOCK PRICES, AND DRIVES VS CODE. tonbi JUST DROPPED THE FULL GUIDE. module 6 of his 10-part Hermes masterclass. best breakdown of the tool layer anyone has published. what you need to know: TOOLS vs SKILLS vs MCP skills = instructions (markdown, loaded into context) tools = callable functions (Python, agent emits call, Hermes executes) MCP = adapters to external systems (Blender, Stripe, Linear, Notion) every tool has three parts: → the function (does the real work) → the schema (what the model sees to decide when to call it) → the registry (makes the tool exist in the agent) the model never runs the function directly. it emits a structured request (tool name + JSON args). Hermes executes and returns the result. if the tool fails, the error goes back as JSON. the agent recovers instead of crashing. TOOL SETS CONTROL THE SURFACE hermes chat --tool-sets web # only web tools loaded. no files, no terminal. hermes chat --tool-sets safe # read-only: web search, vision, image gen. # no file writes. no terminal. no code execution. mid-session: /tools enable video /tools disable terminal or toggle in the dashboard: hermes dashboard → Skills → Tool Sets MCP SERVERS two transport types: STDIO (local subprocess) or HTTP (remote endpoint). add a server: hermes mcp # or ask: "add the MCP server for Blender" filter tools with include/exclude per server. keep only what you trust. security: → OAuth 2.1 PKCE (no long-lived tokens in config) → package scanning via api.osv. dev before launch → all MCP calls go through approval gates HERMES AS MCP SERVER hermes mcp serve exposes 10 tools via FastMCP. connect VS Code Copilot or Cursor to your running Hermes instance.

HERMES AGENT + QWEN 3.6 IS CURRENTLY THE STRONGEST LOCAL SETUP MOST PEOPLE CAN RUN. Even if frontier models stopped improving tomorrow, this stack would still cover the majority of real work. Qwen 3.6 (72B and 235B) is officially supported in Hermes and brings: → Strong coding and complex refactoring → Reliable tool calling and multi-step execution → Excellent long context (128k–1M tokens) → Good structured reasoning with /goal workflows → Solid memory and session continuity Paired with Hermes memory, skills, Kanban, cron and tools — you get a fully private, self-improving agent that codes, automates and runs 24/7 without sending data anywhere. You don’t need the latest closed model to build something powerful. This is one of the strongest fully local stacks available right now — and it runs on real hardware.

HERMES AGENT LEARNS FROM ITS OWN MISTAKES. UPDATES ITS MEMORY. CREATES ITS OWN SKILLS. NO CLOUD. EVERYTHING STORED LOCALLY. THIS IS HOW THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP WORKS. most agents start from zero every session. Hermes carries forward what it learned. THREE MEMORY SYSTEMS: 1. PROCEDURAL MEMORY (how to act) stored in ~/.hermes/skills/ as SKILL.md files. when the agent repeats a complex workflow, it saves the procedure as a reusable skill. next time the same task comes up, it follows the skill instead of figuring it out again. you can also create skills explicitly: "create a skill called video-prep that captures how I format my video scripts. spoken english, define jargon inline, no em-dashes, close with a catchphrase." the agent writes the SKILL.md. available as a slash command from that moment. Hermes ships with 90+ skills. the number grows the longer you use it. 2. SEMANTIC MEMORY (durable facts about you) stored in ~/.hermes/memory/memory.md the agent scans conversations for facts worth remembering. preferences, habits, corrections, project details. real example from the video: agent tried to scrape a YouTube channel. URL was wrong. it failed. it updated memory.md with the correct URL pattern so it never makes the same mistake again. you can also save explicitly: "save to memory that my favorite testing framework is pytest" the agent updates memory.md immediately. this file loads into context on every session. the agent knows you better every week. 3. EPISODIC MEMORY (chat history) stored in ~/.hermes/state.db (local SQLite). every conversation. every tool call. every result. searchable with FTS5 full-text search. "search our past sessions. what was the first thing I ever said to you?" the agent queries state.db and finds it. over time, auxiliary models consolidate episodic memory into semantic memory. distilling recurring patterns into durable facts. THE SELF-IMPROVING LOOP: every agent run follows this cycle: → you send a prompt → working memory loads: SOUL.md + memory.md + relevant skills + chat history → agent calls tools (terminal, browser, delegate_task) → agent completes the task, replies to you → AFTER the reply: agent checks "did I learn something worth saving?" → if yes: updates memory.md or creates a new skill → next session starts smarter than the last this happens automatically. you don't ask the agent to learn. it decides what to remember on its own. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM CLAUDE CODE: Claude Code has memory too. but Hermes stores everything locally. no cloud. your data never leaves your machine. Claude Code doesn't auto-create skills from experience. Hermes turns repeated workflows into reusable procedures. Claude Code memory is instruction-based. Hermes memory is conversational and self-updating. over months of usage, Hermes builds a knowledge base of your preferences, your projects, your mistakes, and the procedures that work for your specific workflow. the agent that remembers your birthday also remembers why your last deploy failed. NO EMBEDDINGS. PLAIN TEXT. Hermes does not use embeddings or RAG for memory. skill and memory search runs on plain text keyword matching. simpler. faster. no vector database to maintain. works entirely offline on your local machine. DELEGATE TO CLAUDE CODE: Hermes can spawn a sub-agent that runs Claude Code in headless mode: "spawn a sub-agent using Claude CLI to build a Python script that fetches the top 5 Hacker News stories to markdown." Hermes delegates. Claude Code writes the code. result returns to Hermes. Hermes runs the script and delivers the output. use Hermes for orchestration. use Claude Code for heavy coding. both tools. not competitors. WHAT HERMES DOES NOT HAVE: no built-in eval or LMOps system. no LangSmith, no LangFuse integration out of the box. trajectory export and logs exist but there is no automated quality tracking. if you need eval, build it yourself or connect external tools. the loop is self-improving. measuring how well it improves is on you. comment LOOP and I'll send you the configs that control how fast Hermes learns and what it remembers. memory limits, skill auto-creation triggers, and the auxiliary model that runs the learning. Replace your entire team with 8 hermes agents👇

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

You need to try Hermes RIGHT NOW. OpenClaw was the breakthrough. Hermes feels like the evolution. Here’s why AI power users are quietly switching: • Hermes learns from you over time • It creates its own reusable skills • Memory stays curated instead of bloated • Agents improve every 10 turns automatically • It actually feels stable on day 30 The wildest part: Hermes agents build workflows from your behavior. One user asked their agent to configure Twingate once. The agent: → learned the process → created a reusable skill → stored it for future tasks → improved its own workflow automatically That’s not prompt engineering anymore. That’s agent evolution. Meanwhile most people are still babysitting broken OpenClaw setups and manually importing marketplace skills. Hermes took a different path: Less clutter. Less tweaking. More autonomy. And it’s working. It already flipped OpenClaw in OpenRouter token usage and became one of the fastest-growing AI repos on GitHub. The bigger shift: We’re entering the era where the model matters less than the harness around it. GPT-5.5, Grok, Qwen: They’re already powerful enough. The real edge now is: • memory systems • self-improvement loops • skill creation • agent orchestration Hermes understands that. Most people still think AI agents are glorified chatbots. The people using Hermes are building AI teammates.

HERMES AGENT WITHOUT THESE 3 FILES IS A CHATBOT. WITH THEM IT KNOWS WHO IT IS, WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT IT LEARNED. SOUL.md — who the agent is. first thing in the system prompt. defines personality, voice, values, how it operates, what it can and can't do. structure yours like this: → identity (name, role, relationship to you) → values (what matters, what principles guide decisions) → voice (how it communicates, tone, style) → operations (autonomy level, ground rules) → restrictions (what it never does) → failure protocol (how to operate when things break) lives in ~/.hermes/SOUL.md. auto-seeded on first install. edit anytime. scanned for prompt injection on every load. keep it concise. SOUL.md injects into every turn. a 200-line soul burns tokens on every message. aim for 50-80 lines. one paragraph per section. MEMORY.md — what the agent remembers. persistent facts, insights, preferences. survives across sessions and restarts. capped at ~800 tokens by default: memory: memory_char_limit: 2200 the agent writes to this automatically as it learns about your work. USER.md — who you are. your profile, preferences, context. capped at ~500 tokens by default: memory: user_char_limit: 1375 injected every turn so the agent always knows who it's working for. bonus: AGENTS.md — project-specific instructions. drop one in any project folder. subdirectory AGENTS.md files load lazily during tool calls, not at startup. keeps your system prompt light. prompt stack order on every turn: SOUL.md → tool guidance → MEMORY.md + USER.md → skills index → AGENTS.md → platform hints skills come preloaded. 60+ built-in tools. the agent creates more skills from completed work. you focus on these 3 files. each profile gets its own copy: ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (default profile) ~/.hermes/profiles/researcher/SOUL.md ~/.hermes/profiles/ops/SOUL.md different agent, different soul, different memory, same machine. full breakdown of Hermes as a Personal AI OS in the article 👇

MOST AI AGENTS RESET TO ZERO EVERY TIME YOU OPEN A NEW SESSION. Hermes Agent was built to do the opposite. Every task compounds. Every workflow becomes reusable. Every session teaches the next one. That is the core thesis behind Hermes, and it completely changes how AI agents work. Unlike most AI agents built by software tool companies, Hermes was created by the researchers training the Hermes model family itself. Meaning: The same system used internally to generate training data is now open source and available to everyone. One install gives you access to: Claude. GPT. Grok. Local models via Ollama. Telegram, Discord, Slack, iMessage integrations. Custom skills. Persistent memory. CLI control. But the real unlock is the compounding loop: You give Hermes a task. It records every tool call, decision, and result. Then it converts successful workflows into reusable skills automatically. A Hermes setup running for 3 months becomes fundamentally smarter than a fresh install. That’s the big idea. One of the coolest parts: You literally watch the agent evolve in real time from a blank install into a personalized AI operator. Instead of watching Netflix today, spend 28 mins with this. Follow Dami-Defi for more AI systems, agent workflows, and infrastructure alpha.

HERMES AGENT CROSSED 140,000 GITHUB STARS IN 3 MONTHS AND JUST BECAME THE MOST USED AGENT IN THE WORLD. Most AI agents forget everything between sessions. Hermes writes its own skills from experience. Next time it runs the skill, improves it, and gets faster. Independent benchmarks show agents with 20+ self-created skills complete similar tasks 40% faster than fresh instances. Qwen 3.6 where the 35B version outperforms last year's 120B models at one third the memory footprint. DGX Spark with 128GB unified memory running everything locally at $0 per month after hardware. The setup takes 30 minutes. LM Studio plus Qwen 3.6 27B for the model server. One install script for Hermes. One config connecting them. Set context window to 65,536 tokens or nothing works. After one month of daily use your skills directory has 20 to 50 learned workflows. Your Hermes is genuinely different from anyone else's.

Support for Agent Plugins is live in Cursor (and I made a plugin for searching X!) Agent Plugins combine Skills and MCP servers into a single package Think about them like an Ikea furniture kit: your table comes with instructions, parts, and tools. You use the instructions to understand how things work (which tools on which parts), then use the tools to assemble your furniture Agent Plugins are bundles of tools & resources that allow agents to accomplish a goal: - MCP servers: fixed context and tools - Skills: dynamic instructions, loaded progressively Plugins bundle tools and instructions so your agent is able to use tokens efficiently Many of us already use MCP servers and skills together - Agent Plugins formalize this pattern for more powerful workflows I'm excited to see where the standard takes us!

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗸𝘁𝗼𝗽 dropped yesterday. native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. for months Hermes was the agent that learned your projects, wrote its own skills, and built a model of who you are. all of it buried in terminal logs. now it has a window. the important part is that it's not a wrapper. it runs the same agent core, the same sessions, memory, and skills as the CLI. you can start a task in the terminal and finish it in the app without anything resetting. the state is shared across every interface, not copied between them. what the GUI actually adds: → streaming chat that shows live tool calls and inline reasoning instead of a spinner → a preview rail that renders pages, code, and images right beside the conversation → an artifacts panel that collects every file the agent has ever produced → remote gateway mode, so you can point the app at a VPS and run the heavy work elsewhere → skills, cron, profiles, and gateways managed point-and-click instead of through YAML → voice mode, drag-drop files, and inline image generation remote gateway mode is the one worth slowing down on. the agent runs 24/7 on a $5 server while you control it from your laptop like a local app. other agent UIs are chatboxes with a logo. this one shows the autonomy instead of hiding it, so you watch the skills load, the tools fire, and the artifacts pile up as it works. it was teased in Jensen's GTC keynote. MIT licensed, local-first, no telemetry. if you already run Hermes, download it and everything is already there. your chats, memory, and skills carry straight over. i wrote a full masterclass on Hermes Agent that walks through the SOUL. md identity layer, the three-tier memory system, the self-evolving skills loop, and how to run three specialized agents 24/7. desktop is the interface that finally does all of it justice. the article is quoted below.

how to set up hermes agent step by step. built-in memory, 40+ tools, works on your phone, and what to think of hermes vs openclaw: 1. hermes is a personal AI agent that runs in your terminal. think of it like open claw but with built-in memory, 40+ tools out of the box, and 90% cheaper token costs. you install it with one command. 2. the 3 problems with open claw that hermes solves: no memory (you keep repeating yourself), constant gateway restarts, and zero visibility into what you're spending on tokens. 3. hermes remembers everything. every completed task gets saved to memory. it searches through past logs to find solutions. over time it literally gets smarter at your specific workflows. 4. connect it to open router. you see exact costs per model per task. free models rotate weekly. one founder went from $130 every five days on open claw to $10 on hermes. same output. 5. it comes preloaded with skills. apple notes, imessage, find my, browser, web search, image generation, cron jobs. no hunting for plugins. 6. connect it to obsidian so it reads your entire vault. connect it to gstack for your dev environment. create custom skills for your specific workflows. 7. the biggest money saver: have it write code once for recurring tasks. then it runs without burning tokens every time. stop paying an LLM to do the same scrape or report daily. 8. run it on android via telegram. name your agents. talk to them like coworkers. in this episode imran shows you how to set this up. 9. you can run it bare metal, in docker, or serverless on modal. pick your risk level. i begged imran to come on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walk through the full installation live. he made it impossibly clear. if you've heard of Hermes Agent and want the clearest explanation of how to get set up like a pro let me know what you want me to cover on the next ep this is the best personal agent setup video on the internet right now. watch

Hermes Agent just made API keys feel outdated. And the feature nobody is watching might be the biggest shift. The Big Upgrade: → Run `hermes proxy` → Create a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint → Connect tools like Aider, Continue, and Codex CLI → Use Claude Pro, ChatGPT Pro, or SuperGrok through your existing subscriptions Why This Matters: ✓ One setup instead of separate API keys ✓ Your AI subscriptions become real developer infrastructure ✓ Coding tools can route through Hermes instead of separate accounts ✓ Setup takes around 30 seconds once Hermes is installed The Wild Part: → Grok now supports a 1M token context window inside Hermes → You can load huge codebases, long research docs, or multi-hour sessions → The model can connect details across files instead of forgetting half the workflow And It Gets Better: ✓ GPT, Gemini, and Grok Vision can now use computer control ✓ Models get real image pixels instead of text summaries ✓ Browser automation is now 180x faster with persistent Chrome connections Hermes went from “cool open-source agent” to a real command center for AI workflows. The practical lesson: Stop thinking of AI subscriptions as chat apps. Start thinking of them as infrastructure.

HERMES AGENT HAS 5 SYSTEMS RUNNING UNDER THE HOOD. UNDERSTAND THEM AND YOU USE THE AGENT 10X BETTER. In this video Alejandro AO 🤗 explained: 1. THE AGENT LOOP every message triggers the same cycle: → you send a message → Hermes builds context (SOUL.md + memory.md + user.md + skills + tools + message history) → sends everything to the LLM → LLM decides: call a tool or respond → if tool call: execute, return result, loop back → if response: deliver to you → after response: memory update (agent checks if anything is worth remembering, writes to memory.md or user.md) this loop is why Hermes gets better over time. the memory update after every response means the agent learns from every conversation. 2. CONTEXT ASSEMBLY what the LLM sees on every turn: → SOUL.md (your agent's personality and rules) → memory.md (facts the agent learned over time) → user.md (facts about you, auto-updated) → AGENTS.md and .hermes.md (project context files) → skill descriptions (loaded on demand) → tool schemas (available actions) → message history (current conversation) if SOUL.md is empty, Hermes falls back to a default system prompt. write your own SOUL.md and the agent becomes yours, not generic. CONTEXT COMPRESSION: conversations hit context limits. Hermes handles this at two checkpoints: preflight: before each turn. if conversation exceeds 50% of context window, compression fires. older messages get summarized. last 20 messages stay intact (protect_last_n). gateway auto-compression: between turns. fires at 85%. more aggressive. prevents API errors before the agent even starts processing your message. after compression, a new session lineage ID is generated. the agent can trace back to the original conversation through SQLite. three things break prompt cache: switching models mid-session, changing memory files, or changing context files. 3. THE GATEWAY the system that keeps Hermes reachable on 27+ messaging platforms. an async loop runs continuously. listens for incoming messages from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and every other adapter. when a message arrives: → gateway identifies which session it belongs to → queries SQLite for the full message history (session ID = platform prefix + chat ID) → builds the context from scratch → sends everything into the agent loop → delivers the response back to the platform the gateway also runs the session manager. when you send a message while the agent is busy: → default: queued for next turn → /steer: injected without interrupting → /interrupt: stops current work without the gateway, Hermes is a CLI tool. with the gateway, Hermes is an always-on agent you reach from your phone. 4. MEMORY (THREE LAYERS) LAYER 1 — MARKDOWN FILES SOUL.md (identity), memory.md (learned facts), user.md (facts about you). injected into context after the system prompt. updated by the agent after every response. LAYER 2 — SQLITE full transcripts of every session stored locally. FTS5 full-text search across all past conversations. session lineage tracking across compressions. the agent can recall what you discussed weeks ago using /recall or session search. LAYER 3 — EXTERNAL PROVIDERS (optional) 8 supported providers: Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho, Zep, and more. each works differently (semantic search, LLM extraction, similarity matching). queried after the first message in each session. the agent processes your topic first, then checks external memory for related context from past conversations. not enabled by default. enable for significantly better long-term recall. 5. CRON ENGINE a loop inside the gateway ticks every 60 seconds. each tick checks ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json for scheduled tasks. if a job is due: → fresh session (no chat history, no memory pollution) → execute the prompt with assigned tools → store the run output as markdown in ~/.hermes/cron/output/[job-id]/ → deliver result to your home messaging platform cron does NOT use the send_message tool. delivery happens at the system level, not the agent level. a cron session cannot create more cron jobs. prevents runaway loops. WHY THIS MATTERS: the agent loop teaches it. the context assembly focuses it. the gateway reaches it. the memory remembers it. the cron engine automates it. five systems. one agent. understanding how they connect changes how you configure every level. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇

Finally, a proper chat UI for Hermes Agent (open-source)! Hermes ships an official dashboard, but it's primarily built for management, and its chat is just a terminal piped into a browser tab. Hermes Web UI is an open-source chat-first alternative. It's self-hosted and points at your existing ~/.hermes state, so there's nothing new to configure. - It's a native web chat, not a terminal in a tab - Sessions group by date with a context ring - Kanban renders the agent's task board - Spaces manages your workspaces - Skills panel lists the full catalog - Tasks panel shows cron jobs - Insights show usage and activity - Memory shows MEMORY and SOUL files - Logs tails the agent, gateway, and error logs The whole setup runs 100% locally, binds to localhost by default, and you reach it over an SSH tunnel or Tailscale from your phone. I have shared the Hermes Web UI GitHub repo in the replies. Do note that it's a community project, not official, so expect occasional rough edges (concurrent profile runs are blocked for now). To dive deeper into Hermes Agent, my co-founder wrote a full masterclass about it, covering the learning loop, the memory tiers, self-evolving skills, GEPA, and running multiple isolated agents. Read it below.

HERMES AGENT CAN SHARE MEMORY WITH CODEX AND CLAUDE CODE THROUGH HINDSIGHT. ONE MEMORY BANK. ONE AGENT REMEMBERS, EVERY OTHER AGENT KNOWS. the problem: you use Hermes for orchestration. Codex for coding. Claude Code for debugging. each has its own memory. switch between them and you explain the same project three times. Hindsight fixes this. one shared memory bank that every agent reads and writes to. tell Codex: "the test color for this project is purple." switch to Hermes. ask: "what test color did I pick?" Hermes answers: "purple." no copy-paste. no re-explaining. instant recall. HOW IT WORKS: Hindsight runs as a Docker container on your machine. self-hosted. your data stays local. an LLM powers the memory processing (retain, recall, reflect). RETAIN: extracts facts from your conversations. entities, decisions, preferences, project context. saved to the memory bank automatically. RECALL: when you ask a question, Hindsight pulls from semantic search, keywords, graph connections, and temporal data. fused into one answer. REFLECT: deeper reasoning layer. connects memories across sessions. identifies patterns in your work. produces observations that get smarter over time. CONNECT TO HERMES: Desktop app: Settings → Memory and Context → switch provider from Namosin to Hindsight. set API URL to your local Docker container. set bank ID. done. CLI: hermes memory setup → select Hindsight. verify: hermes memory status should show: provider: hindsight, installed, available. CONNECT TO CODEX: npx hindsight-coding-agents install codex \ --self-hosted --server this installs lifecycle hooks: initialize memory on session start. recall context during work. retain the session when done. enable hooks in Codex: Settings → Hooks → trust all three. CONNECT TO CLAUDE CODE (same command): npx hindsight-coding-agents install all "all" connects every detected agent on your machine. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others. one command. every agent shares the same bank. TAGS FOR FILTERING: every memory gets tagged by harness (Hermes, Codex, Claude Code) and optionally by project name. in the Hindsight control plane: filter by harness. see only Hermes memories. or only Codex memories. or search across everything. soft partitions inside one bank. not hard walls. cross-reference when you need to. ONE BANK OR MANY: one global bank: solo dev, related projects. all agents share everything. patterns emerge across projects. per-project banks: unrelated codebases. each project gets its own memory. no cross-contamination. your call. start with one. split when projects diverge. KNOWLEDGE PAGES (v0.9.0): Hindsight auto-generates living summaries from your accumulated memories. components, concepts, conventions, decisions. not static docs. projected from real agent conversations. auto-refresh as new memories land. WHAT TO KNOW: self-hosted via Docker. your data never leaves your machine. backup system built in (admin CLI + scheduled exports). works with any LLM (local Ollama, OpenAI, Codex subscription). memory defense: redact or block sensitive content automatically. 33,000+ memories accumulated in ~10 days of normal use.

TAGS FOR FILTERING: every memory gets tagged by harness (Hermes, Codex, Claude Code) and optionally by project name. in the Hindsight control plane: filter by harness. see only Hermes memories. or only Codex memories. or search across everything. soft partitions inside one bank. not hard walls. cross-reference when you need to. ONE BANK OR MANY: one global bank: solo dev, related projects. all agents share everything. patterns emerge across projects. per-project banks: unrelated codebases. each project gets its own memory. no cross-contamination. your call. start with one. split when projects diverge. KNOWLEDGE PAGES (v0.9.0): Hindsight auto-generates living summaries from your accumulated memories. components, concepts, conventions, decisions. not static docs. projected from real agent conversations. auto-refresh as new memories land. WHAT TO KNOW: self-hosted via Docker. your data never leaves your machine. backup system built in (admin CLI + scheduled exports). works with any LLM (local Ollama, OpenAI, Codex subscription). memory defense: redact or block sensitive content automatically. 33,000+ memories accumulated in ~10 days of normal use.
