Basal Ganglia Memory 🎯

Habit formation for AI agents. Part of the AI Brain series.

Status: 🚧 Under Development

This skill is being developed. Star/watch for updates!

Concept

The basal ganglia is responsible for habit formation and procedural learning. This skill will give AI agents:

Habit tracking — actions repeated become automatic preferences
Procedural memory — "muscle memory" for common workflows
Reward-based learning — reinforce patterns that work
Preference development — "I always do X this way because it works"

AI Brain Series

Part	Function	Status
hippocampus	Memory formation, decay, reinforcement	✅ Live
amygdala-memory	Emotional processing	✅ Live
basal-ganglia-memory	Habit formation	🚧 Development
anterior-cingulate-memory	Conflict detection	🚧 Development
insula-memory	Internal state awareness	🚧 Development

Coming Soon

Based on neuroscience research on the basal ganglia's role in procedural learning and habit formation.

Usage Guidance

This skill is currently a concept page with no code, no installs, and no credential access — that makes it low risk today. Before installing or enabling it for autonomous use: (1) prefer skills that publish a source repo or homepage so you can review code/changes; (2) watch for future updates that add runtime behavior, network calls, or credential requirements; (3) if you let the agent invoke skills autonomously, monitor behavior and audit logs; and (4) if you need stronger assurance, ask the publisher for an implementation link or changelog before enabling it in production.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: basal-ganglia-memory Version: 0.1.1 The provided files consist of standard metadata (`_meta.json`) and a conceptual description of an AI skill (`SKILL.md`). The `SKILL.md` file outlines the purpose and features of the 'basal-ganglia-memory' skill, which focuses on habit formation for AI agents. There are no executable commands, shell instructions, network calls, or any form of prompt injection attempting to manipulate the AI agent's behavior beyond understanding the skill's stated purpose. The content is purely informational and aligns with benign documentation.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name and description (habit/procedural memory for agents) match the SKILL.md content. The skill does not request unrelated binaries, credentials, or config paths; nothing required is out of scope for the stated purpose.

ℹ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md is high-level and conceptual (’Under Development’) with no concrete runtime instructions, commands, file access, or external endpoints. That makes the current surface low-risk, but also vague — future implementations could add broader actions. The skill currently grants no specific behaviors to inspect.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files are present; nothing is downloaded or written to disk by the skill as published, which minimizes install-time risk.

✓ Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. There are no disproportionate or unexplained secret requests.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Flags are default (always: false, user-invocable: true, disable-model-invocation: false). Autonomous invocation is allowed (the platform default) but the skill has no persistent install steps or elevated privileges.

How to Use

Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
Run the install command in chat: /install basal-ganglia-memory
After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /basal-ganglia-memory
Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
