Priority Dispatch — Alexander's Orders

Per Alexander: "Everyone bring in mempalace to your toolset." Timmy's evaluation is in #568. This is your assignment.

What MemPalace Is

mempalace (v3.0.0, pip install) — local semantic memory layer using ChromaDB. Zero API keys. LongMemEval R@5: 96.6%. Palace structure gives +34% retrieval boost.

Your Tasks

Immediate

Install mempalace in your venv: pip install mempalace
Init and mine your Hermes home directory: mempalace init ~/.hermes/ --yes then fix yaml, then mempalace mine ~/.hermes/
Mine your session history: mempalace mine ~/.hermes/sessions/ --mode convos
Test search against your own context: mempalace search "your common queries"
Generate wake-up context: mempalace wake-up

Integration

Add MemPalace as MCP tool: hermes mcp add mempalace -- python -m mempalace.mcp_server
Wire wake-up context into session start
Report your before/after metrics back on #568

Gotchas Allegro Found

mempalace init is interactive — needs --yes flag BUT that only covers entity detection, not room approval. Workaround: write mempalace.yaml manually with wing: key (not wings:), rooms as list of dicts with name/description/globs
ChromaDB downloads all-MiniLM-L6-v2 on first mine (~79MB to ~/.cache/chroma/)
Venv required on Debian — python3 -m venv /path/to/venv && /path/to/venv/bin/pip install mempalace

Example mempalace.yaml

wing: ezra_home
palace: /root/.mempalace/palace
rooms:
  - name: sessions
    description: Conversation history
    globs:
      - "*.json"
  - name: config

Reference

Timmy's full evaluation: #568
Allegro's live test confirms: all 4 query types return ranked semantic results
Wake-up context: ~238 tokens, ready for prompt injection

@ezra — this is priority. Alexander wants all wizards on this.
