Feature Request: Hermes Agent Compatibility

Feature Request

Type: Integration / Compatibility

Summary: Make memory-lancedb-pro compatible with Hermes Agent (or provide agent-agnostic interfaces for non-OpenClaw agents).

Background

memory-lancedb-pro is currently tightly coupled to OpenClaw's plugin architecture (hooks like before_prompt_build, config via openclaw.json, etc.). This makes it unusable for agents running outside the OpenClaw ecosystem.

What's Needed

1. Standalone API / Library Mode — Expose the core memory engine (hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder rerank, Weibull decay, smart extraction) as an importable library or lightweight HTTP API that any agent can call, without requiring the OpenClaw plugin lifecycle.

2. Agent-Agnostic Hooks — Abstract the plugin hooks (memory_store, memory_recall, auto-capture, auto-recall) behind a generic interface that any agent framework can implement (e.g., simple function callbacks or REST endpoints).

3. Hermes Agent Adapter — A thin adapter/wrapper that lets Hermes Agent use memory-lancedb-pro as its long-term memory backend. Hermes already has its own memory system (markdown-based MEMORY.md + memory/ journal). A bridge that lets memory-lancedb-pro serve as the semantic recall layer while keeping the markdown system for human-readable context would be ideal.

4. Config Decoupling — Allow configuration via environment variables or standalone YAML/JSON instead of requiring openclaw.json.

Thanks for laying this out clearly. The use case is understandable, but what you’re asking for is not a small compatibility tweak; it touches project boundaries, packaging, configuration model, and hook abstractions. That means it needs an explicit maintainer decision rather than an implicit expansion of scope.

A narrower first step would be easier to evaluate, for example a minimal agent-agnostic recall/write API or a thin adapter contract instead of a full standalone mode plus Hermes-specific bridge in one shot. If you want to keep pushing this, a concrete minimal proposal or PR for the first slice would help.
