Hermes VCC Engine, also called the Instant Context Compactor, replaces the model call Hermes normally makes to summarize conversation history once a session approaches its context limit. Instead of asking the configured model to rewrite up to roughly 160,000 characters of history, which the README measures at a median of 8 minutes and up to 21 minutes on a local 27B model, it extracts facts from the middle of the conversation with fixed rules in about 0.055 seconds and zero model calls. The produced summary keeps the stated goal, a list of errors and their eventual fixes, every file read or modified, every command run with its exit code, and a tagged `[#N]` excerpt of each message, with every line linking back to the original archived message so the agent can reopen any excerpt in full through Hermes' `session_search`. Nothing is deleted; Hermes still archives originals in its own session database. The project reports a benchmark of 416 machine-graded recall questions asked in two wordings across 23 real compaction windows from 4 sessions, in which answers produced under the VCC-compacted context scored 91.0% correct, compared to 87.1% for the uncompacted full window, 76.2% for stock Hermes' LLM-written summary, and 74.5% for another similarly-named context-engine plugin in the Hermes catalog. On the next compaction, the previous VCC summary is merged rather than re-summarized, carrying the original goal and file/command lists forward. Installation is a one-line plugin install plus `hermes config set context.engine vcc`, reversible with the same command. It requires Hermes 0.21.7 or newer and has no runtime dependencies.
