Instant Context Compactor
Instant context compaction for Hermes Agent: builds the compaction summary in milliseconds with no LLM call, keeping the exact commands, exit codes, errors and files, each linked back to its original message for recall via session_search.
Good to know before installing
No network calls, shell commands or credentials; reads Hermes's config.yaml through Hermes's own loader; subclasses ContextCompressor and relies on its private methods, falling back to the stock compressor if they are missing.
From the plugin's catalog listing.
How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install hermes-vcc-engine - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable hermes-vcc-engine - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
