Implements issue #14: 7 metrics that prove knowledge compounding. Metrics: - Knowledge velocity: new facts/day (from index.json) - Knowledge coverage: % domains with 10+ facts (from YAML files) - Hit rate: % sessions referencing bootstrap knowledge - Error recurrence: same errors across sessions (should decrease) - Task completion: % sessions with successful end_reason - First-try success: actions without backtracking (tool/msg ratio) - Knowledge age: staleness of facts (freshness score) Data sources: - knowledge/index.json + YAML files for fact metrics - ~/.hermes/state.db sessions + messages tables Features: - JSON and markdown output formats - --since, --repo, --format flags - 7-day trend tracking via snapshot persistence - Runs in 33ms on 11.9K sessions / 192K messages - Dashboard auto-generation with --save-snapshot Closes #14
