I'm interested in writing a novel with ai assistance, but I'm nervous about just shoving this thing into chat normally and putting 100+ pages into context history. Is there something I need to do to make sure I don't screw it's memory up like saving it as MD or soemthing?

yeah, don’t keep the whole novel in chat history
treat the manuscript as files on disk and let Hermes read/edit those as needed. markdown is a good fit for this. keep the source of truth in a project folder, and use chat for the current task: outlining, revising a chapter, checking continuity, drafting a scene, etc.
a good setup is usually:
outline.mdcharacters.mdworld.md- either one
manuscript.mdor one file per chapter
that way you are not “screwing up memory” by forcing 100+ pages through one running session, and the agent can always pull the exact parts it needs from the files instead
