HermesClawZero Auto Memory

Automatically saves meaningful chat input to HermesClawZero DB, loads user context on fresh sessions, and manages automated DB maintenance.

⚠️ Privacy & Consent

This skill captures and persistently stores conversation content in a local PostgreSQL+pgvector database. By activating this skill you consent to automatic memory capture.

• Data stays local — all processing runs via the Sidecar API on your machine; no third-party data sharing
• Background jobs (cron) are only created when you explicitly ask to set them up
• Captures only meaningful facts — the agent summaries and saves key information, not raw chat logs

Script Path

The memory.py CLI lives alongside the sidecar at: C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\memory.py

It reads API config from .env or env vars (MEM_PUBLIC_URL, API_KEY) automatically.

1. Auto-Load on Fresh Chat

When a new session starts, load the user's profile and recent context:

• Execute: python C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\memory.py search "user profile preferences current project state" 5
• Silently absorb the context. Do not output raw JSON to the user unless they ask.

2. Auto-Save (Continuous Capture)

During conversation, if the user shares a new fact, instruction, preference, project detail, or anything worth remembering, immediately capture it:

• Execute: python C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\memory.py capture "<Concise summary of the user's input or new fact>"
• Optionally pass a scope_id (e.g. project name) for logical grouping.
• Do not pass a chat_id — that makes memories unfindable via default search. Omitting it stores in chat_id=global.

3. Full Chat History Sync (On Request)

If the user asks to back up the current session:

1. Use sessions_history to get the current visible session.
2. Format messages into a text summary.
3. Execute: python C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\memory.py autosave "<formatted_chat_history>" "chat_backup.md"

4. Automated Database Maintenance (Cron Jobs)

HermesClawZero requires periodic background jobs for tagging memories and push reminders.

When the user asks to "setup memory background jobs", create these cron jobs:

A. Nightly Memory Gardener (Auto-tagging):

• Name: hermes-memory-gardener
• Expression: 0 3 * * * (3:00 AM daily)
• Session target: isolated
• AgentTurn message: exec python C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\gardener.py

B. Daily Memory Highlight (Telegram Push):

• Name: hermes-daily-reminder
• Expression: 0 9 * * * (9:00 AM daily)
• Session target: isolated
• AgentTurn message: exec python C:\dev\HermesClawZero-ConfigSidecar\daily_reminder.py

Current cron jobs already exist for both (checked during setup).
