Turn On Memory Write Approval in Hermes

# ~/.hermes/config.yaml (Hermes Agent v0.21.x; check yours with hermes --version) # Turn on approval for memory writes. If your config already has a memory: # block, add the line to it instead of creating a second memory: key. memory: write_approval: true # default is false: Hermes saves freely # memory_char_limit: 2200 # MEMORY.md, leave at the default # user_char_limit: 1375 # USER.md, leave at the default # The same change from the terminal: # hermes config set memory.write_approval true # hermes config get memory.write_approval # If you use the gateway, restart it so chats pick up the setting: # hermes gateway restart # # How it behaves once it is on: # - In the interactive CLI, Hermes asks you inline before it saves a memory. # - In gateway chats such as Telegram, and in the background review that runs # after turns, writes are staged instead of saved. # # Review staged writes from any chat: # /memory pending list what is waiting, with ids # /memory approve <id> save one entry (or /memory approve all) # /memory reject <id> drop one entry # # Approve: short, durable facts and preferences you would still want next # month. Reject: one-off details, anything about other people, anything that # looks like a password, key or token, and long pasted text. # # Approved entries appear from your next session, because memory loads as a # snapshot when a session starts.
