# ByteRover Memory Provider

Persistent memory via the `brv` CLI — hierarchical knowledge tree with tiered retrieval (fuzzy text → LLM-driven search).

## Requirements

Install the ByteRover CLI:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://byterover.dev/install.sh | sh
# or
npm install -g byterover-cli
```

## Setup

```bash
hermes memory setup    # select "byterover"
```

Or manually:
```bash
hermes config set memory.provider byterover
# Optional cloud sync:
echo "BRV_API_KEY=your-key" >> ~/.hermes/.env
```
