Hivemind

What Hivemind does

Hivemind captures every session's prompts, tool calls and responses as structured traces in Deeplake, then mines them for repeated patterns and writes those patterns into reusable SKILL.md files that every agent on a team can use. Search combines lexical and semantic retrieval, and a virtual filesystem over ~/.deeplake/memory/ is backed by SQL. At session end a background worker summarizes sessions into wiki pages.

One installer detects the supported assistants on a machine and wires up hooks, then opens a browser for sign-in. Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, Hermes and pi each have an install subcommand, and Claude Cowork is marked Alpha. Data can stay in your own GCS, Azure, S3 or on-prem bucket. On the LoCoMo memory benchmark (100 QA pairs, Claude Haiku via claude -p), the README reports 25% lower cost, 1.7x fewer tokens per question and 31% fewer turns than a no-memory baseline.

Key features

• Captures prompts, tool calls and responses as structured traces
• Codifies repeated patterns into SKILL.md files shared across the team
• Hybrid lexical and semantic search over traces and skills
• Per-assistant install, including hivemind hermes install
• AI-generated wiki pages from sessions through a background worker
• Bring-your-own-cloud storage in GCS, Azure, S3 or an on-prem bucket

When to use it

• Share what one engineer's Hermes agent learned with the rest of a team
• Keep one memory layer across Hermes, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor
• Turn repeated debugging patterns into skills automatically

Who it is for: Teams that run several AI agents and want them to share memory and learned skills.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

Hermes is one of the listed supported assistants, with its own install subcommand, and shares the same memory and skills as the other agents.

How to install Hivemind

These commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository for the latest steps before you run them.

curl -fsSL https://deeplake.ai/hivemind.sh | sh
npm i -g @deeplake/hivemind && hivemind install
hivemind hermes install

Requirements: Node 22+ and a writable npm prefix for the npm route, plus sign-in to a Deeplake account (browser or API token)

Note: Hivemind is cloud-backed and needs a sign-in to a Deeplake account, although data can be kept in your own storage bucket.
