Description
Use when accessing memory, recording information, searching prior context, or managing subjects.
Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent with a local memory manager: it reads and updates Reclaw/OpenClaw memory files (MEMORY.md, log.jsonl, and files under ~/.openclaw/reclaw/memory/) and runs the openclaw reclaw CLI. Before installing, ensure you trust the installed openclaw CLI and the Reclaw plugin implementation (verify their source and updates). Understand that any personal or sensitive information in those memory files will be read and appended to by the extraction process and subject-management commands (e.g., renaming subjects updates stored entries). No external credentials or network installs are requested by this skill, and it is instruction-only (no embedded code). If you need extra caution, back up your MEMORY.md and ~/.openclaw/reclaw/memory/ before use and verify the openclaw binary you have on PATH is the official one.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: reclaw
Version: 2026.3.11-3
The reclaw skill is a structured memory management system that implements an append-only event log (log.jsonl) and markdown-based projections for agent context. It utilizes local CLI commands (openclaw reclaw) and manages files within the user's home directory (~/.openclaw/reclaw/) to track tasks, facts, and decisions. The logic is consistent with its stated purpose, lacks any indicators of data exfiltration or unauthorized execution, and includes a 'Hard Filter' instruction to prevent the logging of non-user-specific information.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (a memory system) matches the SKILL.md: it requires the openclaw binary and instructs using openclaw reclaw commands and local memory files (log.jsonl, MEMORY.md, ~/.openclaw/reclaw/memory/). There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or network installs requested.
Instruction Scope
The instructions explicitly tell the agent to read and interact with user-local memory artifacts (MEMORY.md, log.jsonl, subject projection files) and to run openclaw reclaw CLI commands. This is expected for a memory manager, but it does imply the skill will read and modify user-specific data (e.g., subject renames update registry and log entries). Users should be aware these are local user files and may contain sensitive personal data.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec or remote downloads, so nothing is written to disk by the skill itself during install. Lowest-risk install profile. Runtime requires an existing openclaw CLI installation (the SKILL.md assumes the Reclaw plugin is installed in the OpenClaw environment).
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or unrelated config paths are required. The declared requirement (openclaw binary) is appropriate for the described functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request permanent platform-level privileges. It does describe modifying user-local memory artifacts and the subject registry (expected behavior for a memory tool) but does not alter other skills or system-wide settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install reclaw - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/reclaw - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
