Hermes Plugin
Give Hermes Agent persistent Basic Memory — search-before-answer recall, auto-capture, and 10 agent tools.
The hermes-basic-memory plugin gives Hermes Agent a persistent knowledge graph across sessions.
Basic Memory is a knowledge base that you and your AI share. Hermes ships with no external memory provider by default — this plugin replaces that with a real graph your agent reads from and writes to as plain Markdown.

Key Capabilities
- Search before answering — The agent recalls prior decisions and context before responding, instead of starting cold
- Automatic capture — Every exchange is logged to a session transcript; an end-of-session summary is written and linked back
- 10 agent tools — search, read, write, edit, context, delete, move, recent, projects, workspaces
- 8 slash commands —
/bm-search,/bm-read,/bm-context,/bm-recent,/bm-status,/bm-remember,/bm-project,/bm-workspace - Cross-project & workspace routing — Read or write any project per call via
project/project_id, with transparent local/cloud routing - Bundled skill — A
basic-memoryskill teaching the note format, routing, and a worked discovery → write → verify recipe
Quick Install
hermes plugins install basicmachines-co/hermes-basic-memory
Activate it in ~/.hermes/config.yaml:
memory:
provider: basic-memory
Restart the gateway (hermes gateway restart) and verify with hermes memory status.
The agent tools and auto-capture work out of the box. The native
/bm-* slash commands need a Hermes Agent-side patch on releases through v0.14.0 / v2026.5.16 — see the warning in the full guide.
