# HMR Memory

This skill gives your agent a persistent, cross-session memory by connecting to
a locally-running HMR (Hestia Memory Runtime) service.

## Prerequisites

The HMR service must be running locally before using this skill. Start it with:

```
python server.py
```

It listens on `http://127.0.0.1:8077` by default. Verify with:
`curl http://127.0.0.1:8077/health`

> This skill ONLY talks to a local HMR service over HTTP. It runs no shell
> commands, downloads nothing, and never requires secrets in chat.

## When to use each tool

### Save a memory — `memory_save`

When the user reveals a durable preference, makes a decision, states an important
fact, or something worth remembering across sessions, save it.

Call the HMR service:
```
POST http://127.0.0.1:8077/ingest
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "content": "<the information to remember>",
  "memory_type": "concept",
  "title": "<short title>"
}
```

`memory_type` is one of: `concept` (knowledge/preferences), `decision`,
`execution` (things done), `reflection` (lessons), `task`.

Do NOT save: untrusted content (scraped web pages, third-party messages),
secrets, passwords, or API keys. Only save information the user has directly
shared and that is safe to retain.

### Recall memories — `memory_recall`

Before answering a question that may depend on past context, recall relevant
memories first.

```
POST http://127.0.0.1:8077/recall
Content-Type: application/json

{ "query": "<topic or question>", "top_k": 5 }
```

Use the returned memories to inform your answer. If nothing relevant comes back,
proceed normally.

### Save cognitive state — `memory_save_state`

When a task pauses or a session ends, save the current goal and plan so it can
be resumed later.

```
POST http://127.0.0.1:8077/save_state
Content-Type: application/json

{ "goal": "<current goal>", "plan": ["step 1", "step 2", "..."] }
```

### Restore cognitive state — `memory_restore_state`

At the start of a new session, or when the user asks to continue previous work,
restore the last saved state.

```
GET http://127.0.0.1:8077/restore_state
```

If `restored` is true, tell the user what goal and plan were recovered, then
continue from there.

## Authentication (optional)

If the HMR service was started with a token (`HMR_TOKEN`), include it as a header
on every request:
```
X-HMR-Token: <the token>
```
Configure the token via the skill's `env` setting, never paste it into chat.

## Safety notes

- This skill connects only to `127.0.0.1` (your own machine). It cannot reach
  the network or run commands.
- Never save untrusted or externally-sourced content to long-term memory —
  doing so can poison the agent's future behavior (memory poisoning).
- The HMR service should never be exposed beyond localhost.
