Hwiki

Markdown wiki as Hermes long-term memory: plain files you and the agent edit together (Obsidian-compatible, git-versionable), local SQLite FTS5 search with optional qmd hybrid retrieval. Inspired by the Karpathy LLM wiki.

Good to know before installing

Reads every Markdown file under the wiki folder you set (wiki_path, outside HERMES_HOME; untrusted_dirs, default raw/, excluded) and injects up to ~1,400 characters of matching excerpts into each turn; the agent appends dated notes only under <wiki>/<memory_dir> (default wiki/memory), and additions to Hermes's built-in memory are mirrored there by default (mirror_builtin_memory), so they land in a folder you may commit or sync; keeps an index at HERMES_HOME/hwiki-index.sqlite and config in HERMES_HOME/hwiki.json, and adds the wiki folder to hermes backup. Cron and subagent runs get read-only recall. No network with the default fts5 backend; the optional qmd backend runs the separately installed qmd CLI (npm @tobilu/qmd, Node ≥22), whose vector modes download local models (~0.3–1.6 GB).

How to install

  1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
    hermes plugins install hwiki
  2. Said no? Turn it on later:
    hermes plugins enable hwiki
  3. 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).
