We’re using Claude agent sdk right now to rollout an internal agent factory. We haven’t hit the memory issue yet but I do use Hermes as a personal agent and can see where it fits you.
1. Our approach has cron-based or trigger-based automations built-in. Building automations with claude agent sdk requires setting up separate infrastructure.
2. Our approach has self-learning built-in. Building a feature like "dreaming" https://docs.openclaw.ai/concepts/dreaming with claude agent sdk also requires setting up separate infrastructure.
3. Our approach decouples the harness and the compute, which lets developers enforce a stricter security boundary, while claude agent sdk ships with the harness, shell, and filesystem in one process https://platform.claude.com/cookbook/claude-agent-sdk-07-hos....
4. Our approach does not vendor lock developers.
You could pick the latest harness and then switch when another better one rolls out. Our bet is that a developer's time is better spent speaking to their customers than switching harnesses.
