mnemosyne-maintenance

mnemosyne-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AtlasOmnia/hermes-custom-pack. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,737 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mnemosyne-maintenance, MIT.

A maintenance guide for Mnemosyne, a software system that stores and searches information using text embeddings, which represent meaning numerically. It focuses on upgrades, missing dependencies, slow consolidation, and version problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps run diagnostics, find dependency and version mismatches, fix local-package shadowing, and investigate hanging memory-consolidation jobs.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose cases where installed packages are not being used, embeddings are unavailable, or a local folder is masking the correct installation.

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

mnemosyne-maintenance 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 11d 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.

Mnemosyne Maintenance

Use when: upgrading Mnemosyne, diagnosing slow/hung consolidation (mnemosyne_sleep), fixing missing embeddings, or troubleshooting import/version mismatches.

Triggers

  • mnemosyne_sleep hanging for >2 minutes
  • Diagnose reports "fastembed not available" or "sqlite_vec not available" despite being installed
  • Version mismatch: pip shows newer version than runtime
  • Embeddings_available=NO when deps are present

Core troubleshooting (in order)

  1. Run diagnostics:
  • mnemosyne_diagnose
  • Look for: missing fastembed, sqlite_vec, ctransformers; embeddings_available status; mnemosyne_version
  1. Check for local dev shadowing:
  • A local ~/mnemosyne directory will shadow the pip-installed package because Python adds ~ to sys.path on macOS.
  • Confirm with: python -c "import mnemosyne, inspect; print(mnemosyne.file)" If it prints ~/mnemosyne/..., that's the problem.
  1. Fix shadowing (if present):
  • Rename or move local dev copy: mv ~/mnemosyne ~/mnemosyne-local
  • Ensure PYTHONPATH prioritizes site-packages in gateway plist: plutil -replace "EnvironmentVariables.PYTHONPATH" -string "~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages" ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.hermes.gateway.plist
  • Restart gateway: launchctl stop ai.hermes.gateway && launchctl start ai.hermes.gateway
  1. Remove stale plugin symlinks:
  • Old setups may have: ~/.hermes/plugins/mnemosyne -> ~/mnemosyne/hermes_memory_provider Modern Mnemosyne (3.8+) includes Hermes integration in the package; this symlink is unnecessary and can break imports.
  • If present, remove it: rm ~/.hermes/plugins/mnemosyne
  1. Upgrade Mnemosyne + deps:
  • From venv: pip install --upgrade "mnemosyne-memory[embeddings]" sqlite-vec
  • If version mismatch persists (pip shows new, runtime still old):
  • Uninstall and reinstall cleanly: pip uninstall -y mnemosyne-memory && pip install --upgrade "mnemosyne-memory[embeddings]" sqlite-vec
  1. Restart gateway after changes:
  • launchctl stop ai.hermes.gateway && launchctl start ai.hermes.gateway
