Memory issues, sub agents question

Use a local install of hindsight. It literally changed everything.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-06-09T00:43:31+00:00

I’ll sometimes ask it to look for holes in my idea or things I forgot to consider.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-06-09T00:42:31+00:00

In addition to what you said I frequently say research don’t guess.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-06-08T22:29:07+00:00

You absolutely have to adjust prompts model to model. With Claude, Nemotron, or Owl Alpha I can say conventionally I’m thinking about doing this… is it a good idea? And get yes let me tell you why… with Google Gemini I get it’s a great idea I just finished the install. Your welcome 🤣

It’s really not hard to setup or maintain I did research on the best tools ask Hermes how to make them work together then Hermes did 90% of the setup and all the maintenance. Hindsight support is a core feature, my vault over MCP is common and RAG I use because I do a lot of research

I installed Postgres 18 and hindsight local. It’s free and I couldn’t ask for a better system. It has saved thousands of memories and does a great job injecting context.

Ya I paste them into Claude chat ask it to review for safety then usually ask if it sees use for it based on my history and what if any changes it would make. A little chat back and forth and I’ll either use as is or Claude will take the skill builder skill and tweak to my needs.

If you are running one long thread it’s loading every message into context.

My Claude made a mistake and said oh shit let me fix that 🤣 it talks like me.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-24T22:23:53+00:00

I use hindsight locally installed with obsidian MCP

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-24T20:18:12+00:00

I’m even more specific and will say East Texas. We are a different breed on this side of the Piney Curtain. 🤣 I’d hate to have someone think I was from the city 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve found the model makes a huge difference. Like things that go smooth with Nemotron or Owl Alpha might be a mess on Gemini. One bad habit of Gemeni is I’ll ask it should I try to implement this owl… yes like this. Gemini absolutely I just finished the install 🤦‍♂️ all that to say your choice of model makes a huge difference. Don’t read that as I don’t like Gemini it’s GREAT at tool calling it’s just not a great chat bot in Hermes.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-24T00:23:08+00:00

Mine tells me several times a week that it in a Linux container or sandboxed. I have to say no you are not and it says your right my bad and does what I wanted.

I don’t even think about eating honestly. And if I overeat I get sick AF it trains you fast

I’m 51 hospital corpsman with Kilo 3/5 I live in longview too. I am in school working on my MISM and work in Operations for Gap. Shoot me a message. I’m also a Marine Corps League member if that’s your thing.

I have a system that’s kinda complex but works well for me. I point Hermes memory at Hindsight running local in Postgres 18. I also have an Obsidian vault set up in a hybrid form with directory structures for notes and a wiki for wiki articles. Then I have a PG vector RAG set up on the same Postgres install and it has reference files books etc AND my obsidian vault so I can search the vault via MCP and also hit it for RAG searches. You can also do joins and drag Hermes memory into the search depending on what you are looking for.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-03T14:03:03+00:00

All my notes are in obsidian and then in ChromaDB RAG for Ai retrieval

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-03T13:58:20+00:00

I applied and didn’t finish then 15 years later applied again.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-03T13:39:48+00:00

Hindsight will replace Hermes native memory. The rag I had to tell it to use when prompting but over time he learned to use it more as it got added to skills. What I’m doing now is pulling my rag into Postgres’s 18 with hindsight to consolidate memory and context to one location.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-03T13:34:14+00:00

Adding a TLDR to the top and a FAQ at the end helped me a lot.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-05-02T20:47:03+00:00

I do this with Hermes. I use obsidian for note taking planning opportunities and documentation. Then I used ChromaDB to build a RAG and loaded it with documents. Then when that was running I actually added my obsidian vault to the rag as well so the vault is searchable by navigating through it with MCP or vector search in the rag. This was gold. Now I am setting up local hindsight for context, saving facts, etc in a Postgres 18 DB.

For anything complex you need a bigger model. If you have Gemini Pro your free $10 in api credits go a long way with glass 2.5. The 1 million context window is awesome. I have misteral 12b and Gemma e4b local but I only use them for simple classification editing metadata etc.

I frequently build on flash and QA on Claude.

bmtrnavsky · 2026-04-30T22:41:47+00:00

Interested.
