past.dev memory provider: recall before each turn from source-traced memory of past conversations, with sessions sent to past.dev when they end. Maintained by past.dev.

## Good to know before installing

The user's message (as the recall query) and each session's user and assistant text, with common secret shapes redacted, are sent to the past.dev API (api.past.dev by default, or the address you configure) under your past project key, with a past-hermes/<version> User-Agent; the key and identity are read from PAST_API_KEY or ~/.past/config.json, which past.dev's other connectors share; off by default on messaging-gateway sessions.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## 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 pastdotdev
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable pastdotdev
```

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
