Local-first LanceDB vector memory with a strict write contract, calibrated abstention, typed relations, conflict tracking and a retrieval-quality gate. Requires local Ollama + nomic-embed-text.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install lancedb-suite
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable lancedb-suite
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
