Mnemos Memory
Mnemos is a local-first memory layer for coding agents. Use this skill to guide users or OpenClaw agents onto the supported install path, explain the operating loop, and keep compatibility claims accurate.
Default path
- Prefer
pip install "mnemos-memory[mcp]"andmnemos ui. - For OpenClaw / ClawHub, teach the agent to self-install
mnemos-memory[mcp], runmnemos ui, then wiremnemos-mcpto the canonicalMNEMOS_CONFIG_PATHbefore relying on memory. - Recommend SQLite as the supported persistent store.
- Recommend a real embedding provider (
openclaw,openai,openrouter, orollama) for production retrieval quality. - Validate setup with the control-plane smoke check or
mnemos-cli doctor.
Claim discipline
- Safe to claim: local-first scoped memory, MCP tools, SQLite starter profile, Claude Code plugin flow, documented Codex flow.
- Be explicit that deterministic auto-memory is shipped for Claude Code via hooks.
- For Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, and generic MCP hosts, do not imply automatic capture unless the host has its own automation or the user adds one.
- Do not present removed legacy backends as available runtime options.
Workflow
- Identify the host: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, or generic MCP.
- If the repo is available locally, read
README.md,docs/MCP_INTEGRATION.md, anddocs/codex.mdbefore answering. - Give the default install path first. Only fall back to manual config snippets if the user cannot use the control plane.
- Explain the operating loop:
mnemos_retrieveat task startmnemos_storefor durable facts onlymnemos_consolidatebefore finishing substantial workmnemos_inspectwhen a stored fact looks wrong
- Read
references/hosts.mdfor host-specific config snippets and caveats, especially the OpenClaw / ClawHub self-install flow when the agent must bootstrap itself. - Read
references/operations.mdfor automation, capture-mode, storage guidance, and troubleshooting.
Avoid
- Do not tell users to manually type memories as the primary workflow.
- Do not recommend
SimpleEmbeddingProviderfor production retrieval quality. - Do not suggest external storage backends for Mnemos. Keep users on the SQLite path.
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install mnemos-memory - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/mnemos-memory - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
