Write-Ahead Log protocol. ```markdown # SESSION-STATE.md — Active Working Memory ## Current Task [What we're working on RIGHT NOW] ## Key Context - User preference: ... - Decision made: ... - Blocker: ... ## Pending Actions - [ ] ... ``` **Rule:** Write BEFORE responding. Triggered by user input, not agent memory. ### Layer 2: WARM STORE (LanceDB Vectors) **From: lancedb-memory** Semantic search across all memories. Auto-recall injects relevant context. ```bash # Auto-recall (happens automatically) memory_recall query="project status" limit=5 # Manual store memory_store text="User prefers dark mode" category="preference" importance=0.9 ``` ### Layer 3: COLD STORE (Git-Notes Knowledge Graph) **From: git-notes-memory** Structured decisions, learnings, and context. Branch-aware. ```bash # Store a decision (SILENT - never announce) python3 memory.py -p $DIR remember '{"type":"decision","content":"Use React for frontend"}' -t tech -i h # Retrieve context python3 memory.py -p $DIR get "frontend" ``` ### Layer 4: CURATED ARCHIVE (MEMORY.md + daily/) **From: OpenClaw native** Human-readable long-term memory. Daily logs + distilled wisdom. ``` workspace/ ├── MEMORY.md # Curated long-term (the good stuff) └── memory/ ├── 2026-01-30.md # Daily log ├── 2026-01-29.md └── topics/ # Topic-specific files ``` ### Layer 5: CLOUD BACKUP (SuperMemory) — Optional **From: supermemory** Cross-device sync. Chat with your knowledge base. ```bash export SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY="your-key" supermemory add "Important context" supermemory search "what did we decide about..." ``` ### Layer 6: AUTO-EXTRACTION (Mem0) — Recommended **NEW: Automatic fact extraction** Mem0 automatically extracts facts from conversations. 80% token reduction. ```bash npm install mem0ai export MEM0_API_KEY="your-key" ``` ```javascript const { MemoryClient } = require('mem0ai'); const client = new MemoryClient({ [REDACTED_SECRET] }); // Conversations auto-extract facts await client.add(messages, { user_id: "user123" }); // Retrieve relevant memories const memories = await client.search(query, { user_id: "user123" }); ``` Benefits: - Auto-extracts preferences, decisions, facts - Deduplicates and updates existing memories - 80% reduction in tokens vs raw history - Works across sessions automatically ## Quick Setup ### 1. Create SESSION-STATE.md (Hot RAM) ```bash cat > SESSION-STATE.md << 'EOF' # SESSION-STATE.md — Active Working Memory This file is the agent's "RAM" — survives compaction, restarts, distractions. ## Current Task [None] ## Key Context [None yet] ## Pending Actions - [ ] None ## Recent Decisions [None yet] --- *Last updated: [timestamp]* EOF ``` ### 2. Enable LanceDB (Warm Store) In `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`: ```json { "memorySearch": { "enabled": true, "provider": "openai", "sources": ["memory"], "minScore": 0.3, "maxResults": 10 }, "plugins": { "entries": { "memory-lancedb": { "enabled": true, "config": { "autoCapture": false, "autoRecall": true, "captureCategories": ["preference", "decision", "fact"], "minImportance": 0.7 } } } } } ``` ### 3. Initialize Git-Notes (Cold Store) ```bash cd ~/clawd git init # if not already python3 skills/git-notes-memory/memory.py -p . sync --start ``` ### 4. Verify MEMORY.md Structure ```bash # Ensure you have: # - MEMORY.md in workspace root # - memory/ folder for daily logs mkdir -p memory ``` ### 5. (Optional) Setup SuperMemory ```bash export SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY="your-key" # Add to ~/.zshrc for persistence ``` ## Agent Instructions ### On Session Start 1. Read SESSION-STATE.md — this is your hot context 2. Run `memory_search` for relevant prior context 3. Check memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for recent activity ### During Conversation 1. **User gives concrete detail?** → Write to SESSION-STATE.md BEFORE responding 2. **Important decision made?** → Store in Git-Notes (SILENTLY) 3. **Preference expressed?** → `memory_store` with importance=0.9 ### On Session End 1. Update SESSION-STATE.md with final state 2. Move significant items to MEMORY.md if worth keeping long-term 3. Create/update daily log in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md ### Memory Hygiene (Weekly) 1. Review SESSION-STATE.md — archive completed tasks 2. Check LanceDB for junk: `memory_recall query="*" limit=50` 3. Clear irrelevant vectors: `memory_forget id=<id>` 4. Consolidate daily logs into MEMORY.md ## The WAL Protocol (Critical) **Write-Ahead Log:** Write state BEFORE responding, not after. | Trigger | Action | |---------|--------| | User states preference | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond | | User makes decision | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond | | User gives deadline | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond | | User corrects you | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond | **Why?** If you respond first and crash/compact before saving, context is lost. WAL ensures durability. ## Example Workflow ``` User: "Let's use Tailwind for this project, not vanilla CSS" Agent (internal): 1. Write to SESSION-STATE.md: "Decision: Use Tailwind, not vanilla CSS" 2. Store in Git-Notes: decision about CSS framework 3. memory_store: "User prefers Tailwind over vanilla CSS" importance=0.9 4. THEN respond: "Got it — Tailwind it is..." ``` ## Maintenance Commands ```bash # Audit vector memory memory_recall query="*" limit=50 # Clear all vectors (nuclear option) rm -rf ~/.openclaw/memory/lancedb/ openclaw gateway restart # Export Git-Notes python3 memory.py -p . export --format json > memories.json # Check memory health du -sh ~/.openclaw/memory/ wc -l MEMORY.md ls -la memory/ ``` ## Why Memory Fails Understanding the root causes helps you fix them: | Failure Mode | Cause | Fix | |--------------|-------|-----| | Forgets everything | `memory_search` disabled | Enable + add OpenAI key | | Files not loaded | Agent skips reading memory | Add to AGENTS.md rules | | Facts not captured | No auto-extraction | Use Mem0 or manual logging | | Sub-agents isolated | Don't inherit context | Pass context in task prompt | | Repeats mistakes | Lessons not logged | Write to memory/lessons.md | ## Solutions (Ranked by Effort) ### 1. Quick Win: Enable memory_search If you have an OpenAI key, enable semantic search: ```bash openclaw configure --section web ``` This enables vector search over MEMORY.md + memory/*.md files. ### 2. Recommended: Mem0 Integration Auto-extract facts from conversations. 80% token reduction. ```bash npm install mem0ai ``` ```javascript const { MemoryClient } = require('mem0ai'); const client = new MemoryClient({ [REDACTED_SECRET] }); // Auto-extract and store await client.add([ { role: "user", content: "I prefer Tailwind over vanilla CSS" } ], { user_id: "ty" }); // Retrieve relevant memories const memories = await client.search("CSS preferences", { user_id: "ty" }); ``` ### 3. Better File Structure (No Dependencies) ``` memory/ ├── projects/ │ ├── strykr.md │ └── taska.md ├── people/ │ └── contacts.md ├── decisions/ │ └── 2026-01.md ├── lessons/ │ └── mistakes.md └── preferences.md ``` Keep MEMORY.md as a summary (<5KB), link to detailed files. ## Immediate Fixes Checklist | Problem | Fix | |---------|-----| | Forgets preferences | Add `## Preferences` section to MEMORY.md | | Repeats mistakes | Log every mistake to `memory/lessons.md` | | Sub-agents lack context | Include key context in spawn task prompt | | Forgets recent work | Strict daily file discipline | | Memory search not working | Check `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set | ## Troubleshooting **Agent keeps forgetting mid-conversation:** → SESSION-STATE.md not being updated. Check WAL protocol. **Irrelevant memories injected:** → Disable autoCapture, increase minImportance threshold. **Memory too large, slow recall:** → Run hygiene: clear old vectors, archive daily logs. **Git-Notes not persisting:** → Run `git notes push` to sync with remote. **memory_search returns nothing:** → Check OpenAI API key: `echo $OPENAI_API_KEY` → Verify memorySearch enabled in openclaw.json --- ## Links - bulletproof-memory: https://clawdhub.com/skills/bulletproof-memory - lancedb-memory: https://clawdhub.com/skills/lancedb-memory - git-notes-memory: https://clawdhub.com/skills/git-notes-memory - memory-hygiene: https://clawdhub.com/skills/memory-hygiene - supermemory: https://clawdhub.com/skills/supermemory --- *Built by [@NextXFrontier](https://x.com/NextXFrontier) — Part of the Next Frontier AI toolkit*
