README (SKILL.md)
Hippocampus Memory Core
Use this skill when you need long-term memory that survives the current turn.
Use It For
- storing key decisions and facts that should outlive the current session
- searching past architecture, deployment, or debugging context
- creating snapshots before risky changes
- restoring memory after migration or environment reset
Preferred Flow
- Check that Hippocampus configuration is present.
- Store only high-signal facts, not raw transcript spam.
- Search memory before repeating costly investigation.
- Snapshot before major refactors or rollout changes.
- Restore only into the correct agent or workspace scope.
Guidance
- Prefer deterministic retrieval over ad hoc summaries.
- Keep memory namespaced by workspace and agent.
- Use metadata to mark project, topic, and task boundaries.
- Treat memory as durable infrastructure, not scratchpad overflow.
- If configuration is missing, send the user to
hippocampus-openclaw-onboardinginstead of asking for a raw API key first.

Usage Guidance
This is an instruction-only 'memory' skill that appears coherent, but you should: 1) confirm where the Hippocampus/S3 configuration and credentials are stored (the skill defers to a separate onboarding flow rather than asking for keys itself); 2) inspect and vet the referenced 'hippocampus-openclaw-onboarding' and related components before use; 3) ensure the storage backend (S3/Hipokamp) has least-privilege credentials, encryption, and access controls; and 4) avoid writing sensitive PII or secrets into persistent memory unless you’ve audited access controls and retention policies. Because the package has no homepage/source listed, treat it as unvetted until you can validate its provenance.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: hippocampus-memory-core
Version: 0.1.1
The skill bundle contains only metadata and documentation for a long-term memory system ('Hippocampus Memory Core'). The instructions in SKILL.md are purely functional, guiding the agent on how to store and retrieve facts using a deterministic storage backend (S3-Hipokamp), and include security-positive patterns such as redirecting to a dedicated onboarding skill rather than requesting raw API keys. No executable code or malicious prompt-injection patterns were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description (deterministic external memory using S3-Hipokamp) match the SKILL.md guidance. However, the skill does not declare any required environment variables or credentials; it instead instructs agents to check for existing 'Hippocampus configuration' and to defer to a separate onboarding skill if missing. This separation is plausible but worth noting because the skill itself does not request or document where credentials/config live.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains high-level usage guidance only (when to store/search/snapshot/restore memory). It does not instruct the agent to read arbitrary local files, exfiltrate data, call third‑party endpoints outside the expected Hippocampus components, or access unrelated environment variables. Instructions restrict actions to memory-related operations and to handing off to an onboarding flow if configuration is absent.
Install Mechanism
No install spec or code files are present (instruction-only), so nothing will be written to disk or executed. This is the lowest-risk install posture.
Credentials
Given the S3/Hipokamp integration implied by the description, one would normally expect declared credentials or at least documented config paths. The skill declares none and instead relies on external configuration (and a separate onboarding skill). That can be a reasonable design choice, but users should confirm where and how Hippocampus credentials/configuration are managed and that the onboarding skill is trustworthy.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill is not marked 'always: true' and is user-invocable. It does not request to modify other skills or global agent settings in its instructions. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined here with elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install hippocampus-memory-core - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/hippocampus-memory-core - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
