Memory Starter Kit

Hermes-only historical note: this skill is kept for repository continuity, not as a current portable install contract.

Current Status

The old four-layer description is obsolete. The maintained local/public build is the three-layer sidecar documented in:

• README.md
• ARCHITECTURE.md
• docs/compatibility-matrix.md

Use This Skill For

• understanding the historical evolution of the project
• mapping old Hermes deployments to the current sidecar surfaces
• identifying which older helpers are no longer part of the default install set

Do Not Use This Skill As

• a production installation guide
• a multi-agent compatibility contract
• a source of current runtime dependencies

Current Portable Runtime

Use the installed scripts under $AGENT_HOME/scripts/ together with:

• session_to_gbrain.py
• memory_governance_rebuild.py
• tiered_context_injector.py
• memory_guardian.py
• memory_maintenance_cycle.py
• sidecar_acceptance_check.py

Historical Notes

• older Hermes deployments used additional local helpers not shipped by the current installer
• legacy bridge layers mentioned in earlier versions were removed from the maintained public stack
• if a teammate is working from old notes, reconcile them against docs/compatibility-matrix.md before changing runtime behavior
