/install memory-hygiene
Description
Audit, clean, and optimize Clawdbot's vector memory (LanceDB). Use when memory is bloated with junk, token usage is high from irrelevant auto-recalls, or setting up memory maintenance automation.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you intentionally want guidance for fully resetting Clawdbot vector memory. Before using the wipe or cron instructions, back up or export memory, confirm the exact target path, keep a rollback plan, and avoid monthly automation unless recurring unattended memory resets are acceptable.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: memory-hygiene
Version: 1.0.0
The skill includes instructions for the AI agent to execute high-risk system commands. Specifically, `rm -rf ~/.clawdbot/memory/lancedb/` is used to wipe memory, and `cron action=add` is used to schedule persistent tasks. While these actions are presented for a benign 'memory hygiene' purpose, the direct execution of `rm -rf` and the ability to add cron jobs represent powerful capabilities that could be easily misused if the skill were compromised or the agent tricked.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Auditing, wiping, reseeding, and disabling auto-capture fit the stated memory-hygiene purpose, but the skill's core workflow includes full deletion of the LanceDB vector-memory store.
Instruction Scope
The wipe command is a raw `rm -rf ~/.clawdbot/memory/lancedb/` with no explicit backup, confirmation, dry-run, path validation, or recovery step.
Install Mechanism
The artifact is instruction-only markdown with no executable scripts, install hooks, bundled code, or hidden runtime behavior found in the provided files.
Credentials
The instructions are scoped to Clawdbot memory, but they involve persistent user memory and recommend storing sensitive-adjacent facts such as accounts, credential locations, and contacts while warning not to store OAuth URLs or tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
The monthly cron example creates persistent recurring maintenance that wipes and reseeds memory without per-run approval, rollback guidance, or verification that reseeding succeeds.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install memory-hygiene - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/memory-hygiene - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
