Wax Memory Maintenance

Use when the active Hermes memory provider is wax-memory.

Checks

  1. Confirm the broker is reachable: hermes wax-memory doctor
  2. Prefer wax_recall for assembled context and wax_search for raw hits
  3. Store durable facts with wax_remember and memory_type from note, user_preference, decision, lesson, handoff, constraint, fact; task_state is session-local working state and requires an active session
  4. Write session continuity with wax_handoff; do not dump raw transcripts
  5. Use structured tools (wax_entity_upsert, wax_fact_assert, wax_facts_query) only for stable knowledge-graph facts

Recovery

  • If recall is empty, run npx waxmcp --embedder minilm --transport http
  • If vector search is disabled, rebuild both wax-cli and wax-mcp with MiniLM/Arctic traits
  • After /reset or /resume, rely on the provider session switch — do not invent a new session id
