Spotlight: Workspace Memory Management (salt-vrn trilogy)

Author: Leonid Zolotarev (salt-vrn) Project: NeiroHost.ru — AI-agent hosting powered by Hermes and OpenClaw

Three complementary tools that solve agent memory chaos:

hermes-advanced-memory

Enforces structured workspace — AGENTS.md index loaded every session, project folders with READMEs, SOUL.md for persistent principles. Transforms scattered agent files into an organized, navigable memory system.

~/.hermes/
├── SOUL.md              ← identity + rules
├── workspace/
│   ├── AGENTS.md        ← index (loaded every session)
│   ├── project-alpha/
│   └── project-beta/

hermes-session-maintenance

Monthly cron script that closes zombie sessions, prunes old data (7-day threshold), backs up state.db, and runs VACUUM to reclaim disk space. Safe by design — never touches active sessions, verifies timestamps, uses flock to prevent parallel execution.

openclaw-to-hermes-migration

Structured 10-phase migration for agents moving from OpenClaw to Hermes. Unlike a script, this skill adapts to each unique OpenClaw setup — analyzing files, planning transfer, migrating cron/secrets/files/config, and reporting what requires manual intervention.


Spotlight: Skill Auditor (hermes-skill-cleaner)

Author: FavorPan

A zero-dependency TypeScript CLI that scans ~/.hermes/skills/ to: - Budget Analysis — calculates what % of your 2% skill budget is consumed - Duplicate Detection — finds identical skills by name, body hash, and Jaccard similarity - Usage Scanning — parses session JSONL logs to find actually-used vs unused skills - Description Compression — identifies bloated descriptions with compact alternatives

node --experimental-strip-types scripts/hermes-skill-cleaner.ts --no-logs

Three-phase cleanup workflow: remove duplicates → remove unused → compress descriptions.


Spotlight: MAX Bot Platform (RuslanStrogov)

Author: RuslanStrogov Design: BR-DESIGN

Two options for connecting Hermes Agent to the MAX messenger platform:

max-hermes (Bridge)

Standalone FastAPI bridge — receives webhooks from MAX Bot API, forwards to Hermes CLI, returns responses. Docker + systemd support. Feature-complete: typing indicators, inline keyboards, attachments, multi-user, group chats.

max-hermes-plugin (Native)

Hermes Gateway plugin — install directly into ~/.hermes/plugins/platforms/max/. No external process, no bridge. Requires legal entity/ИП/self-employed for MAX bot creation.


Spotlight: Parallel GitHub Launch (Rishiidev)

A Hermes-native evolution of github-launch-agent. One trigger (github launch) spawns 3 parallel delegated subagents per phase, cutting launch from 20+ minutes to ~4–6 minutes. Includes: - SEO name scoring (5 candidates ranked) - Competitor README research - Auto-embedded social preview SVG - GitHub Pages + CI workflows - v1.0.0 release + 20 topics - 7-day distribution calendar - IMPROVE mode for existing repos (6 parallel audit agents)

Setup Guides

New setup guides added for: - Hermes Advanced Memory → - Hermes Session Maintenance → - Hermes Skill Cleaner →


Why This Matters

  1. Memory infrastructure maturing — The salt-vrn trilogy (advanced-memory, session-maintenance, migration) is the first cohesive infrastructure package for production Hermes deployments. NeiroHost is building real hosting infrastructure around these tools.

  2. Skill hygiene becomes tractablehermes-skill-cleaner is the first dedicated tool for analyzing skill token budgets, finding duplicates, and identifying unused skills. Critical as the ecosystem grows past 380+ skills.

  3. Platform expansion continues — MAX Bot API integration (bridge + native plugin) opens Hermes to the Russian messenger market. Feishu rendering patches from the personal-stack repo are upstream-quality candidates.

  4. Agent-to-agent learning emergesagent-apprenticeship is a genuinely new category: an open infrastructure for agents to learn from each other's work. 500+ seed tasks, mentor modes, contribution bundles.

  5. GitHub launch goes parallel — Rishiidev's skill uses Hermes's delegate_task(tasks=[...]) to run 3 agents concurrently per phase, cutting launch time by 70%+.
