README (SKILL.md)
Codon
Codon gives every memory an address. You navigate to it — you don't search for it.
Setup
If MEMORY/ does not exist in this workspace, run it once:
bash {baseDir}/init.sh
How to store
- Choose the right category from the taxonomy below
- Assign the next available ID in that category (check
XX.00-index.md) - Write to
MEMORY/\x3Carea>/\x3CXX.YY-description>.md - Add the ID to the category's index file
Example: new client contact → MEMORY/10-19-People/10.01-acme-jane-smith.md
How to recall
Navigate by ID prefix — don't search, locate:
- "Who are my contacts?" → read files in
MEMORY/10-19-People/ - "What projects are active?" → read files in
MEMORY/20-29-Projects/ - "Find the Acme notes" → look for
10-19-People/10.XX-acme-*
Default taxonomy
| Area | Name | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 10-19 | People | Contacts, clients, team members |
| 20-29 | Projects | Active and past work |
| 30-39 | Resources | Tools, docs, links, references |
| 40-49 | Work | Tasks, decisions, meeting notes |
Rules
- Existing
memory.mdis preserved. UseMEMORY/for all new entries. - If something fits two categories, prefer the more specific one. A person who is also a project contact goes in 10-19 People, not 20-29.
- Index files (
XX.00-index.md) track which IDs are taken. Always update them. - IDs are never reused, even after deletion.
Usage Guidance
This skill is small and appears safe: it will create a MEMORY/ directory and index files in your workspace when you run init.sh. Before installing or running it, back up any existing memory.md or existing MEMORY/ folder if you care about preserving content, and ensure the workspace is the intended target (the script computes the workspace as two directories up from the script location). There is no network activity or credential access. If you prefer, inspect init.sh yourself (it's short) before running it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: codon
Version: 1.0.0
The 'codon' skill is a memory organization tool that creates a structured filesystem (MEMORY/ directory) for an agent's workspace. The init.sh script safely creates directories and index files without any network calls or suspicious execution, and the SKILL.md provides clear, non-malicious instructions for the agent to manage information using a numbered taxonomy. No indicators of data exfiltration, unauthorized execution, or persistence were found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (organize agent memory as a filesystem) matches the delivered artifacts: a README, SKILL.md with usage, and a small init.sh that creates MEMORY/ directories and index files. There are no unrelated env vars, binaries, or remote downloads.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs creating and using the local MEMORY/ hierarchy and to run init.sh if MEMORY/ is missing. The script only writes files under the workspace root and does not read or exfiltrate other files or environment variables. Minor note: SKILL.md uses a '{baseDir}' placeholder when showing how to run the script; that is a documentation placeholder and does not change behavior.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only). The included init.sh is a small pure-bash initializer that creates directories and markdown index files. There are no downloads, package installs, or archive extraction steps.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The init script only checks that the workspace root is writable before creating MEMORY/ and index files — this is proportional to its purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and user-invocable:true. The skill does not request permanent inclusion, does not modify other skills' configs, and only writes files under the workspace. It requires write permission to the workspace (checked before acting).
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install codon - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/codon - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
- Initial release of Codon: organize agent memory as a human-readable, navigable filesystem using numbered addresses (e.g., 10.03-client-name.md).
- No dependencies required; information is stored in the MEMORY/ directory with a clear taxonomy for People, Projects, Resources, and Work.
- Provides setup instructions and rules for creating, indexing, and recalling entries.
- Ensures consistent updating of index files and prohibits ID reuse, preserving all new data separately from existing memory.md.
