Git-backed Markdown memory with background curation and model-based recall.

## Good to know before installing

Runs a background curation agent with terminal, file-read and patch tools on your configured auxiliary model, fed raw conversation turns; it commits and pushes the memory store to whatever git remotes you configure, and pulls shared submodules at session start; the engine runs via uv run, which fetches pyyaml==6.0.2 from PyPI; an optional dataset file (memory.stack.dataset_enabled, off by default) stores full transcripts locally with no rotation.

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 stack
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable stack
```

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
