What I Built I did not build another chatbot. I built a memory hygiene system around Hermes Agent: a workflow that tells the agent what to remember, what to turn into a skill, what to write into the repo, what to track in a task system, and what to leave behind. The core idea is simple: Agent memory is not one bucket. Long-running agent work breaks when chat history, global memory, project state, reusable procedures, task ownership, and public side effects are treated as the same thing. They have different lifetimes. Putting all of them into “memory” creates drift. So I built a small repo-local harness and operating discipline around Hermes Agent. Hermes Agent is the local agent runtime I use for tool-calling work: terminal commands, file edits, browser/search workflows, persistent memory, reusable skills, scheduled jobs, and gateway integrations. Multica is the external task layer I use for active work ownership and routing.…
