memorylake-hermes 1.1.1

MemoryLake memory plugin for hermes-agent — persistent memory, document retrieval, web search, and open data access.

memorylake-hermes

MemoryLake memory plugin for hermes-agent. Gives the agent persistent long-term memory, document retrieval, web search, and open data access via the MemoryLake platform API.

Features

• 7 tools exposed to the LLM:

  Tool	Description
  memorylake_search	Unified semantic search across memories AND uploaded documents
  memorylake_store	Save facts, preferences, decisions to long-term memory
  memorylake_list	List all stored memories for the user
  memorylake_forget	Delete a specific memory by ID
  memorylake_download	Get pre-signed download URL for a document
  memorylake_web_search	Web search across 12 domains (web, academic, news, code, ...)
  memorylake_open_data	Search open datasets (arXiv, PubMed, SEC, FRED, patents, ...)

• Auto-capture: every conversation turn is sent to MemoryLake for server-side memory extraction (background, non-blocking).

• Conflict detection: surfaces unresolved memory conflicts in search results.

• Two recall modes:

  • tool_driven (default) — the model is instructed to call memorylake_search as its first action every turn, ensuring consistent memory recall regardless of model.
  • prefetch — the framework runs a unified search before the LLM call and injects results into context automatically.

Installation

# Auto-detect hermes-agent location, symlink (dev mode)
./install.sh

# Explicit path
./install.sh /path/to/hermes-agent

# Copy files instead of symlink
./install.sh --copy

The plugin is installed to plugins/memory/memorylake/ inside hermes-agent.

Configuration

Set in ~/.hermes/.env:

MEMORYLAKE_API_KEY=sk-...          # Required — get at https://app.memorylake.ai
MEMORYLAKE_PROJECT_ID=proj-...     # Required — from your MemoryLake project

Then enable the provider in ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

memory:
  provider: memorylake

Optional Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
MEMORYLAKE_HOST	https://app.memorylake.ai	MemoryLake server URL
MEMORYLAKE_USER_ID	default	User identifier (auto-set to platform user ID in gateway mode)
MEMORYLAKE_TOP_K	5	Max recall results
MEMORYLAKE_SEARCH_THRESHOLD	0.3	Min similarity score (0-1)
MEMORYLAKE_RERANK	true	Rerank search results
MEMORYLAKE_MEMORY_MODE	tool_driven	Recall mode: tool_driven or prefetch
MEMORYLAKE_AUTO_UPLOAD	true	Auto-upload user documents to MemoryLake
MEMORYLAKE_WEB_SEARCH_INCLUDE_DOMAINS		Comma-separated list of domains to include in web search
MEMORYLAKE_WEB_SEARCH_EXCLUDE_DOMAINS		Comma-separated list of domains to exclude from web search
MEMORYLAKE_WEB_SEARCH_COUNTRY		Country code for web search results
MEMORYLAKE_WEB_SEARCH_TIMEZONE		Timezone for web search results

Config can also be set via ~/.hermes/memorylake.json (overrides env vars).

Memory Modes

tool_driven (default, recommended)

The system prompt instructs the model to call memorylake_search as its first action on every turn. A per-turn reminder is also injected. This ensures consistent memory recall regardless of which LLM provider you use.

prefetch

The framework calls prefetch() before each LLM call, running a parallel unified search (memories + documents) with the current user message. Results are injected into context automatically. The model does not need to call any tool to receive memory context.
