# Claude + Hermes Setup: Persistent Memory and Agent OS

Chapters / key moments
(click to jump — plays here on the page)

Combining Claude with Hermes Agent gives Claude persistent memory across sessions via SQLite, an auto-improving skill system, and scheduled task automation. Hermes can spawn Claude Code as a sub-agent for file and code operations, with Jarvis voice mode allowing hands-free task execution via phone. An Obsidian-based "Agent OS" dashboard ties everything together in dedicated agent rooms with shared memory.

## Key Takeaways

- Hermes stores all conversations and skills in a persistent SQLite database that survives across sessions — Claude on its own forgets everything when you close the tab
- Hermes can spawn Claude Code as a sub-agent for heavy implementation tasks, then log results back into the persistent memory system
- Jarvis voice mode uses MiniMax M3 for voice commands — can schedule cron jobs, write files, and execute tasks hands-free over a phone call
- Obsidian Agent OS: separate rooms for Claude and Hermes, shared memory vault, Kanban board, goals page, and content studio in one dashboard
- Learning curve exists: memory configuration and Claude Code permissions integration require careful setup — not plug-and-play
