# Hermes Dream Skill

Install on Hermes agents for fleet-wide memory consolidation.

## What It Does

```
03:10 AM — Hermes Agent
  → Read: memories/MEMORY.md, memories/USER.md, session transcripts (24h)
  → LLM consolidation (MiniMax M2.7 via api.minimaxi.chat)
  → Write: ~/hermes-dreams/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  → Deliver: push to fleet collection point OR message via Telegram
```

## Setup (once per Hermes agent)

1. Create skill dir:
   `mkdir -p ~/.hermes/skills/hermes-dream`

2. Save this SKILL.md

3. Set up cron (via Hermes CLI or Telegram):
   `/cron add "hermes-dream consolidation" at 03:10 daily`

4. Ensure MINIMAX_API_KEY is in ~/.hermes/.env

## Dream Output Format

```
# Hermes Dream: YYYY-MM-DD
## Nodes Memory
[machine-relevant memories]
## Session Patterns
[recurring themes from today]
## Cleanup Candidates
[old/stale entries]
## Fleet Notes
[things the primary agent should know]
```

## Collection

The primary agent collects via:
```bash
# Via git push (Hermes pushes its dream to a git repo each morning)
# OR via:
ssh <primary-host> "cat >> ~/memory/fleet-dreams/<node>-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md" < ~/hermes-dreams/YYYY-MM-DD.md
```

## Key Notes for Hermes
- Use `hermes tools memory_add` to persist key learnings
- Use `hermes cron` to manage the dream schedule
- Dream skill auto-loads when "dream", "consolidate", or "sleep" mentioned
