The author shares a "Hermes Agent" role prompt that makes the agent audit its own memory files (SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md) at the start of every session to keep memory lean and current. Key principles: read-only until explicit approval, flag stale/duplicated/contradictory entries that waste context, and always show before/after diffs — change nothing without a "yes". A reusable workflow for maintaining agent memory files.
