HydraDB memory provider for Hermes

Long-term memory for Hermes Agent, backed by HydraDB. Context is recalled before each turn and completed turns are persisted, over the public HydraDB API.

How it works

Registers a MemoryProvider:

Method	Role
`prefetch(query)`	recall relevant context before a turn via `POST /query` (uses the server `llm_prompt` when present)
`sync_turn(user, assistant)`	persist the completed turn off-thread via `POST /context/ingest`

No tools, hooks, or middleware. Public API only; no HydraDB SDK required.

Setup

Run hermes memory setup and pick hydradb, or set the environment directly:

export HYDRADB_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export HYDRADB_DATABASE="your-tenant-id"
# optional: HYDRADB_COLLECTION, HYDRADB_BASE_URL

Then enable it:

memory:
  provider: hydradb

Configuration

Variable	Required	Purpose
`HYDRADB_API_KEY`	yes	HydraDB API key (secret)
`HYDRADB_DATABASE`	yes	database/tenant to read and write
`HYDRADB_COLLECTION`	no	sub-tenant scope
`HYDRADB_BASE_URL`	no	defaults to `https://api.hydradb.com`

The provider reports unavailable until HYDRADB_API_KEY and HYDRADB_DATABASE are both set.
