memory-setup

memory-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sloemo01/hermes-skills-bundle. It costs 27 tokens per session (959 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive setup guide for saving a user’s coding and research preferences in persistent memory. It asks five questions and stores the answers for future sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up memory for the first time, including preferences for browser automation, research style, and command wording.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly asking the same preference questions and gives later sessions a consistent starting point.

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

memory-setup 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 5d 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.

Memory Setup Skill

Overview

This skill provides a guided first-time setup for new users. When triggered, it runs a 5-question interactive flow using the clarify tool and saves the answers to the user's persistent memory (~/.hermes/memories/memory.md).

Trigger Conditions

Load this skill when the user says:

  • "Set up my memory"

Workflow

Step 1: Announce the Setup

I'll ask 5 quick questions to learn your preferences. This runs once and saves forever.

Step 2: Run Questions Sequentially (using clarify tool)

Question 1 — Browser Automation:

clarify(
    question="What browser automation do you prefer?",
    choices=[
        "Kimi WebBridge (uses your real Chrome with your logins)",
        "Chrome CDP / Playwright (headless, no login persistence)",
        "No preference — whatever works"
    ]
)

Question 2 — Research Style:

clarify(
    question="How do you like deep research done?",
    choices=[
        "Many tabs (10+) organized in named groups",
        "One focused search at a time",
        "Just give me the answer/summary"
    ]
)

Question 3 — Repeat Command:

clarify(
    question="What word do you use to mean 'do it again the same way'?",
    choices=[
        "retry",
        "rerun",
        "again",
        "Other (I'll specify)"
    ]
)

Question 4 — Privacy Concerns:

clarify(
    question="Any privacy/data things I should avoid?",
    choices=[
        "No public pastes (dpaste, GitHub Gists)",
        "Local-only tools, no cloud APIs",
        "Delete temp files after",
        "No strong preferences"
    ]
)

Question 5 — UI Patterns:

clarify(
    question="Any UI patterns you use repeatedly?",
    choices=[
        "Preview pane for docs/social/localhost",
        "Terminal split for logs + editor",
        "Dev server on fixed port (e.g., :3000)",
        "No strong patterns"
    ]
)

Step 3: Save to Memory

After all 5 answers collected, call memory tool with operations array:

What ships with it

1 file 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.
