Keeping agent context manageable

Malhotra explains Hermes's configurable curator.

Peter Yang asks how an agent can avoid accumulating unnecessary material when it writes its own skills and memories. Hermes co-founder Karan Malhotra describes a curator that runs on a schedule and reviews those records for possible cleanup and efficiencies. He says the system has default criteria but is modular and open source, so a user can inspect the curator and provide their own guidelines for how it refines skills and memory.
