hermes-mnemosyne

hermes-mnemosyne is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AtlasOmnia/donna-starter. It costs 30 tokens per session (3,528 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local-first memory provider for Hermes that stores information in SQLite, a file-based database, and searches it using text and vector methods. It is installed as a plugin rather than included as a built-in toolset.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check memory status, view statistics, consolidate memories, run the standalone command-line interface, and migrate from overlapping memory systems.
Why use it?
It gives Hermes a way to retain and retrieve information across sessions while keeping the memory data local.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hermes-mnemosyne scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hermes Mnemosyne Memory Provider

Mnemosyne is Hermes' primary local-first memory engine — SQLite with vector + FTS5 hybrid search, 19+ tools, auto-consolidation, and a standalone CLI. It's a pip-installed plugin (not a built-in toolset) discovered via $HERMES_HOME/plugins/mnemosyne/.

Quick Reference

When comparing memory stacks for the user, use references/memory-tool-selection-mem0-vs-mnemosyne.md: Mnemosyne is preferred for Hermes local-first profile memory; Mem0 is the safer productized choice for external/customer-facing apps.

For migrations from overlapping stacks such as LCM + built-in memory + gBrain, use references/memory-stack-migration-pilot.md. Prefer a staged simplification: preserve LCM, pilot Mnemosyne as the external memory provider, keep the incumbent system read-only for rollback, and retire redundant writers after measured acceptance.

What How
Check if active hermes memory status or check memory.provider in config.yaml
Memory stats mnemosyne stats (CLI) or mnemosyne_stats (tool)
Manual consolidation mnemosyne sleep (current session) or mnemosyne sleep --all-sessions
Dry-run consolidation mnemosyne sleep --all-sessions --dry-run
Enable auto-consolidation Set memory.auto_sleep: true + memory.sleep_threshold: 50 in config.yaml
Use Hermes' model for compression MNEMOSYNE_HOST_LLM_ENABLED=true in .env
Check if installed hermes memory status; if the symlink is missing, run ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/mnemosyne-install

Architecture

Mnemosyne is a memory provider, not a toolset. Its tools (mnemosyne_remember, mnemosyne_recall, mnemosyne_sleep, etc.) are injected through the memory manager — they are NOT accessible via enabled_toolsets. Do NOT use enabled_toolsets: ["mnemosyne"] in cron jobs or delegation configs.

Installation path and package split

Treat Mnemosyne as two moving parts:

  • mnemosyne-memory — core memory engine and optional embedding/local-LLM extras.
  • mnemosyne-hermes — Hermes adapter/plugin package used by current upstream installation guidance.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
