Use, configure, diagnose, and retrieve exact evidence with LCM-X (plugin hermes-lcm-x, context engine lcm-x).

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

# LCM-X

Use this skill when a task concerns LCM-X setup, operation, compaction,
diagnostics, session behavior, or recall from compacted and cross-conversation
history. The plugin is `hermes-lcm-x` (formerly `hermes-lcm`); this skill keeps the name `hermes-lcm`.

Start here:

1. Confirm that the `hermes-lcm-x` plugin is enabled and `context.engine` is `lcm-x` (legacy `lcm` works with a deprecation warning; see `lcm_doctor` `identity_migration`).
2. For exact historical claims, use the recall workflow instead of trusting a compacted summary.
3. Use `lcm_status`, `lcm_inspect`, and `lcm_doctor` before changing configuration or attempting repair.
4. Treat slash-command apply paths as mutations: preview first, keep backups, and require the user's authorization.
5. Load the relevant reference rather than guessing arguments or lifecycle semantics.

Reference map:

- Configuration and activation: `references/configuration.md`
- Architecture and data ownership: `references/architecture.md`
- Diagnostics and safe operator workflow: `references/diagnostics.md`
- Recall tools and routing: `references/recall-tools.md`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add electricsheephq/lcm-x/hermes-lcm@sha256:00530f1b42bd5d16

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.b763003, 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.
