Hermes LCM Context Management
Skill by ara.so — Hermes Skills collection.
Overview
Hermes-LCM is a lossless context management plugin for Hermes Agent that prevents message loss during context compression. Instead of replacing old messages with flat summaries, it:
- Stores all messages in SQLite before compaction
- Compacts old context into a hierarchical summary DAG
- Provides agent tools to drill back into compacted material
- Maintains source lineage for filtered retrieval
- Externalizes large payloads to prevent bloat
Key difference from built-in compression: LCM makes recall part of the active context engine with drill-down tools (lcm_grep, lcm_expand, lcm_expand_query) rather than relying on auxiliary cross-session search.
