New Hermes plugin by @thomasscottbeck that preserves exact user words across turns with precise recall, avoiding LLM summarization loss. Screenshots show the interface; GitHub repo published for review. Teknium suggested submitting to the official plugin catalog.
Addresses a core pain point in long-running agent memory. Useful for users who need fidelity over compressed context.

Tokenjuice landed in the Hermes plugin catalog. It compresses successful terminal output (e.g., a 700-line `ls` dropped from 44k characters to 774; `git status` from 670 to 223) while leaving failed commands untouched so full errors still reach the model. Runs fully locally; nothing is sent over the network. Requires Hermes ≥ 0.22.5. Install via the catalog or npm + `hermes plugins install`.

@rlaope shipped a same-day thread on oh-my-hermes (https://github.com/rlaope/oh-my-hermes). It sits beside Hermes and does not patch it. Requests are scored into lanes (rename vs deep search), each lane has its own model chain with fallthrough, prompts are tuned per model and kept only while a benchmark says they help. Author claims the same coding tasks on GPT-6 Astra dropped from $4.29 / 23 min to $0.66 / 5 min. Also ships a cost HUD, verification gates, project memory, and 100+ workflow skills. Earlier post cites 3,000+ GitHub stars.
