One-Command Setup
Command

Powershell
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nowledge-co/community/main/nowledge-mem-hermes/setup.ps1 | iexInstalls the native memory provider plugin. Restart Hermes after running.
For Hermes < v0.7.0, add --mcp for the MCP-only setup. See the full guide.
What Happens Automatically
- Context Bundle loads at session start when available, with Working Memory fallback
- Relevant memories surface before each turn (no manual search needed)
- User profile facts from Hermes sync to your cross-tool knowledge graph
- Cleaned transcript turns are captured into Mem threads as replies complete, with a final flush at real session boundaries
- Compression recovery hint is provided on Hermes builds that consume provider compression output
Durable saves still happen through the native nmem_ tools. Hermes also keeps the conversation searchable by writing cleaned user / assistant turns into Mem threads during the session, then flushing any remaining delta on normal exit, /new, or /reset.
