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The old four-layer description is obsolete.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
