Description
A practical memory management system for OpenClaw: importance scoring, time-decay cleanup, write triggers, hybrid retrieval, and daily maintenance workflow.
Usage Guidance
This skill is internally consistent and does what it says: it will read, write, migrate, and delete files in your OpenClaw workspace (e.g., ~/.openclaw/workspace). Before enabling automated or scheduled maintenance: back up your workspace, confirm how your memorySearch backend is configured (the skill references memorySearch but does not provision it), test the workflow on a copy, and review the manual trigger phrases so accidental user messages don't persist or promote deletion. If you want tighter control, run daily maintenance manually or restrict autonomous agent actions until you’re confident with behavior.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: memory-management-lite
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a structured framework for an AI agent to manage long-term and short-term memory through file-based storage, importance scoring, and scheduled maintenance. The instructions in SKILL.md and README.md guide the agent to organize data within the ~/.openclaw/workspace/ directory and perform routine maintenance tasks, such as rotating configuration backups and cleaning old logs. While the skill suggests shell commands for backing up openclaw.json, these actions are transparently documented and aligned with the stated purpose of system maintenance without evidence of malicious intent or data exfiltration.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description say this is a memory management workflow and the SKILL.md only asks the agent to read, write, migrate, and delete files under the suggested workspace (~/.openclaw/workspace) and to run retrieval calls (memory_search / memory_get). No unrelated credentials, binaries, or installs are required.
Instruction Scope
Instructions explicitly direct scanning, migrating, and deleting memory/*.md files older than 30 days and writing to MEMORY.md / topic files. This is consistent with the stated purpose, but it is destructive behavior (deletions/migrations) so users should be aware and back up data before enabling automated maintenance. The skill also assumes a memorySearch capability exists but doesn't include setup steps in this file (it references a related 'memory-setup' skill).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — nothing is downloaded or written to disk by an installer. Lowest install risk.
Credentials
The skill requires no environment variables or credentials, which is proportionate. One nuance: it depends on a working memorySearch retrieval backend (vector/FTS) which may itself require configuration or credentials; those are not declared here (the README references a 'memory-setup' skill).
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (normal). The skill suggests scheduling autonomous daily maintenance (cron payload that triggers an agentTurn). Autonomous invocation plus file-deletion behavior increases operational risk if misconfigured, but autonomous invocation itself is the platform default and not a contradiction here.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install memory-management-lite - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/memory-management-lite - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
