hermes-context-optimization — Optimize Hermes startup/context payloads, compression, tool-schema loading, memory/skill injection, and visual-context experiments.
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 Context Optimization Use this when the user asks about Hermes prompt/context size, “hello” startup cost, compression behavior, memory/profile bloat, tool-schema overhead, skill loading, session-store/search-index storage, or multimodal/visual-context approaches such as Snapcompact. For large `state.db` search-index maintenance, resumable `optimize-storage --no-vacuum` runs, foreground timeout handling, and post-run verification, follow `references/session-store-optimization.md`. When bounded workers repeatedly fail with `session_persistence_failed` because a live profile DB is lock-contended, preserve the worktree handoff and use the non-disruptive isolated-`HERMES_HOME` workflow in `references/isolated-worker-state-store.md`. Diagnose the profile-specific DB and lock owners first; never terminate a user's live TUI or optimize its store merely to unblock a coding worker. ## Operating style for the user - Be concise first. If he asks for the savings, give the numbers, not a lecture. - Separate **hard blockers** from **engineering choices**. …

How to install
mdr add atlasomnia/hermes-custom-pack/hermes-context-optimization@sha256:19b5531fa0d09c6cThe 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.
