Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00015 | $0.00310 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00155 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00062 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00031 |
Grade A, and why
memory-starter-kit 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 6d 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.
What it actually says
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The old four-layer description is obsolete.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.mdARCHITECTURE.mddocs/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.pymemory_governance_rebuild.pytiered_context_injector.pymemory_guardian.pymemory_maintenance_cycle.pysidecar_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.mdbefore changing runtime behavior
What ships with it
5 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.
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.

memory-starter-kit is a skill published in the GitHub repository mage0535/hermes-memory-installer (204 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 310 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
lemmalog
Externalize working memory and logical state into the lemmalog Datalog engine (MCP). Use for ANY multi-step task where state should outlive one context window or span agents: long investigations, debugging sessions, audits, multi-agent searches, systematic explorations, planning with many interdependent constraints…
engraphis-memory
Give the agent durable, scoped, explainable memory across sessions and repositories through the Engraphis MCP tools. Use when you learn a convention, decision, bug cause/fix, or user preference worth keeping; when prior context would help before you answer or act (to avoid re-asking or re-deriving); when asked "why is…
ori-memory
Persistent agent memory with learning retrieval. Knowledge graph on markdown files — capture insights, decisions, research, and learnings during work, then retrieve them weeks or months later. Use when knowledge is too valuable to lose but too much to inject into every prompt.
agent-recall
Persistent compounding memory for AI agents. 5 default MCP tools: sessionstart, sessionend, remember, recall, check. Full surface (18 tools) available with --full flag. Two-verb model: inhale (sessionstart) and exhale (sessionend). Correction-first memory with decision trail tracking, watchfor warnings, palace rooms…
mind
Local project memory with recall, provenance, policy, and dreams.
