Two-part implementation:
Part A - Curated Bounded Memory:
- New memory tool (tools/memory_tool.py) with MEMORY.md + USER.md stores
- Character-limited (2200/1375 chars), § delimited entries
- Frozen snapshot injected into system prompt at session start
- Model manages pruning via replace/remove with substring matching
- Usage indicator shown in system prompt header
Part B - SQLite Session Store:
- New hermes_state.py with SessionDB class, FTS5 full-text search
- Gateway session.py rewritten to dual-write SQLite + legacy JSONL
- Compression-triggered session splitting with parent_session_id chains
- New session_search tool with Gemini Flash summarization of matched sessions
- CLI session lifecycle (create on launch, close on exit)
Also:
- System prompt now cached per session, only rebuilt on compression
(fixes prefix cache invalidation from date/time changes every turn)
- Config version bumped to 3, hermes doctor checks for new artifacts
- Disabled in batch_runner and RL environments
- Introduced a new parameter `skip_context_files` in the AIAgent class to control the inclusion of context files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules) in the system prompt.
- Updated the _process_single_prompt function to set `skip_context_files` to True, preventing pollution of trajectories during batch processing and data generation.
- Updated `ALL_POSSIBLE_TOOLS` to auto-derive from `TOOL_TO_TOOLSET_MAP` for consistent schema.
- Introduced `_extract_reasoning_stats` function to track reasoning coverage in assistant turns.
- Enhanced `_process_batch_worker` to discard prompts with no reasoning and aggregate reasoning statistics.
- Updated documentation and comments for clarity on new features and changes.
- Added `max_tokens`, `reasoning_config`, and `prefill_messages` parameters to `BatchRunner` and `AIAgent` for improved model response control.
- Updated CLI to support new options for reasoning effort and prefill messages from a JSON file.
- Modified example configuration files to reflect changes in default model and summary model.
- Improved error handling for loading prefill messages and reasoning configurations in the CLI.
- Updated documentation to include new parameters and usage examples.
- Introduced new skills tools: `skills_categories`, `skills_list`, and `skill_view` in `model_tools.py`, allowing for better organization and access to skill-related functionalities.
- Updated `toolsets.py` to include a new `skills` toolset, providing a dedicated space for skill tools.
- Enhanced `batch_runner.py` to recognize and validate skills tools during batch processing.
- Added comprehensive tool definitions for skills tools, ensuring compatibility with OpenAI's expected format.
- Created new shell script `test_skills_kimi.sh` for testing skills tool functionality with Kimi K2.5.
- Added example skill files demonstrating the structure and usage of skills within the Hermes-Agent framework, including `SKILL.md` for example and audiocraft skills.
- Improved documentation for skills tools and their integration into the existing tool framework, ensuring clarity for future development and usage.
- Introduced new browser automation tools in `browser_tool.py` for navigating, interacting with, and extracting content from web pages using the agent-browser CLI and Browserbase cloud execution.
- Updated `.env.example` to include new configuration options for Browserbase API keys and session settings.
- Enhanced `model_tools.py` and `toolsets.py` to integrate browser tools into the existing tool framework, ensuring consistent access across toolsets.
- Updated `README.md` with setup instructions for browser tools and their usage examples.
- Added new test script `test_modal_terminal.py` to validate Modal terminal backend functionality.
- Improved `run_agent.py` to support browser tool integration and logging enhancements for better tracking of API responses.
- Updated batch processing to include robust resume functionality by scanning completed prompts based on content rather than indices, improving recovery from failures.
- Implemented retry logic for image downloads with exponential backoff to handle transient failures effectively.
- Refined image generation tool to utilize the FLUX 2 Pro model, updating descriptions and parameters for clarity and consistency.
- Added new configuration scripts for GLM 4.7 and Imagen tasks, enhancing usability and logging capabilities.
- Removed outdated scripts and test files to streamline the codebase.
- Replaced tqdm with rich for enhanced visual progress tracking in batch processing.
- Adjusted logging levels in AIAgent to suppress asyncio debug messages.
- Modified datagen script to reduce number of workers for improved performance.
- Integrated tqdm for progress tracking in batch processing, replacing map with imap_unordered for improved performance.
- Added base_url attribute in AIAgent to facilitate OpenRouter detection.
- Introduced normalization functions for tool statistics and error counts to ensure consistent schema across all trajectory entries, facilitating compatibility with HuggingFace datasets.
- Updated batch processing to utilize normalized tool stats and error counts, improving data integrity.
- Refactored vision tools and mixture of agents tool to integrate with OpenRouter API, replacing Nous Research API references and updating model configurations.
- Enabled reasoning capabilities in API calls for enhanced response quality across various tools.
- Improved error handling and API key validation for OpenRouter integration.
- Added support for tracking partial results and tool error counts in batch processing.
- Implemented filtering of corrupted entries during batch file combination based on valid tool names.
- Updated terminal tool to improve command execution and error handling, including retry logic for transient failures.
- Refactored model tools to use a simple terminal tool with no session persistence.
- Improved logging and error messages for invalid API responses and tool calls.
- Introduced chunked processing for large content in web tools to manage size limitations effectively.
