Implements proven patterns from the Claude Code leak and ClawHub's `compaction-survival` + `session-persistence`. ## The Problem LLM context windows fill up. When compaction happens, older messages get summarized. Summaries lose precision: - Exact file paths → "some file" - Specific numbers → "approximately 42" - Decisions → "we decided to do something" - Preferences → forgotten Your agent wakes up after compaction dumber. Every session restarts from scratch. ## The Solution: Three-Layer Memory Stack ``` ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Long-term (MEMORY.md) │ ← Curated wisdom, never edit manually ├────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Daily Logs (memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md) │ ← Conversation summaries ├────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Working Buffer (memory/working-buffer.md) │ ← Danger zone captures (60%+ context) ├────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ WAL (memory/wal.jsonl) │ ← Write-Ahead Log: specifics as they appear └────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### WAL (Write-Ahead Log) **When:** Immediately upon receiving a human message that contains any: - Corrections ("Actually it's X not Y") - Proper nouns (names, places, products) - Preferences ("I prefer...") - Decisions ("Let's do X") - Draft changes (edits to active work) - Specific values (numbers, dates, IDs, URLs, paths) **What:** Write a structured JSON line to `memory/wal.jsonl` with: ```json { "timestamp": "2026-04-01T16:20:00Z", "category": "decision|preference|path|value|correction|draft", "content": "the specific detail", "context": "surrounding message snippet" } ``` **Why:** WAL entries are tiny, numerous, and survive forever. They're the source of truth for specifics. ### Working Buffer **When:** Token utilization reaches 60% (tracked via `session_status`). **What:** Append every human + assistant exchange (full text) to `memory/working-buffer.md`: ```markdown ## 2026-04-01 16:25:00 (turn 47) **User:** <message> **Assistant:** <response> ``` **Why:** The buffer is a file, so it doesn't count against context. It's your safety net for the danger zone. When compaction inevitably happens, you can recover from the buffer. ### Daily Logs & Long-term Already in OpenClaw. We integrate by: - At 80% context, suggest `/wrap_up` to flush to daily log - Periodic (weekly) review to promote daily log entries to `MEMORY.md` ## Usage ### Automatic Mode (recommended) The skill hooks into your agent's message processing: 1. Install skill 2. Enable WAL and buffer in agent config (or use defaults) 3. Nothing else — the skill automatically: - Scans human messages for specifics → WAL - Monitors token usage → activates buffer at 60% - Provides `/memory_health` command to view status ### Manual Commands - `tool("memory-stack-core", "wal_write", {...})` — manually add WAL entry - `tool("memory-stack-core", "wal_read", {"limit": 50})` — view recent WAL - `tool("memory-stack-core", "buffer_read", {"tail": 1000})` — view buffer tail - `tool("memory-stack-core", "memory_health", {})` — get health report ### Recovery Protocol When context is lost (e.g., after compaction or new session): 1. Read `memory/working-buffer.md` last entries 2. Read recent WAL entries (last 50) 3. Read yesterday's + today's `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` 4. Reconstruct missing specifics The skill provides a `recover()` helper (used automatically by agent if configured). ## Configuration Create `memory-stack-config.json` in workspace root (optional): ```json { "wal": { "enabled": true, "auto_capture": true, "max_entries": 10000 }, "buffer": { "enabled": true, "threshold_token_percent": 60, "max_size_mb": 10 }, "integration": { "auto_wrap_up_at_token_percent": 80, "include_buffer_in_wrap_up": true } } ``` ## Performance - WAL write: <1ms (append to file) - Buffer append: <1ms - Memory overhead: ~100B per WAL entry; ~1KB per buffer turn - Disk: WAL grows ~1-2KB per conversation; buffer ~5-10KB per session Negligible impact. ## Compatibility - Works with any OpenClaw agent (uses standard `tool` interface) - No external dependencies - Compatible with `compaction-survival` patterns (this is an implementation) - Enhances `session-persistence` by providing WAL + buffer layers ## FAQ **Q: Do I need to change my agent?** A: Only to optionally call `memory_health` or `recover` if you want explicit control. Otherwise install and go. **Q: What if I already use session-persistence?** A: This skill *implements* the WAL + buffer layers that session-persistence mentions. They're complementary. **Q: Will WAL fill my disk?** A: WAL is capped at `max_entries` (default 10k). Old entries can be archived to `memory/wal-archive.jsonl` monthly. **Q: Can I use without ToolRegistry?** A: Yes, the skill provides standalone scripts too (`scripts/wal.py`, `scripts/buffer.py`). ## License Commercial. One-time purchase includes lifetime updates. Team licenses allow unlimited agents. --- *Built with insights from the Claude Code leak and ClawHub community.*
