hermes-session-maintenance — Maintain Hermes Agent session history: inspect size, export backups, prune old ended sessions, and configure safe auto-prune retention.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hermes Session Maintenance Use this skill when the user asks about pruning Hermes sessions, session retention, session DB size, `hermes sessions prune`, `sessions.auto_prune`, `sessions.retention_days`, session export/backup, or whether old conversations should be capped. ## Operating principles - Treat this as Hermes configuration/maintenance work. If broader Hermes setup or CLI behavior is involved, also load `hermes-agent` for authoritative command references. - Do not assume retention policy from memory. Check live state before recommending destructive cleanup. - Pruning is deletion. Prefer exporting a safety snapshot before the first aggressive prune or before reducing retention substantially. - Distinguish default behavior from active behavior: - `hermes sessions prune` defaults to `--older-than 90`. - `sessions.retention_days` may also default to 90. - `sessions.auto_prune: false` means nothing is being deleted automatically. - Only ended sessions are prune candidates; active sessions are not pruned. ## Standard workflow 1. Inspect current volume: ```bash hermes sessions stats ``` …

How to install
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/hermes-session-maintenance@sha256:4392af9d79b53e54The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
