/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 a skill that can guide full Clawdbot vector-memory deletion. Before using the wipe or cron instructions, export or back up memory, confirm the exact path, keep a rollback plan, and avoid enabling monthly automation unless you are comfortable with recurring unattended memory resets.
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
The audit, wipe, reseed, and auto-capture configuration guidance fits the stated memory-hygiene purpose, but the capability includes full deletion of the LanceDB vector-memory store.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs `rm -rf ~/.clawdbot/memory/lancedb/` to clear all vector memory and does not include an explicit backup, confirmation, dry-run, path validation, or recovery workflow.
Install Mechanism
The package is instruction-only with a single non-executable SKILL.md file and no install scripts or bundled executable code.
Credentials
The file paths and commands are scoped to Clawdbot memory maintenance, but the skill works with persistent memory and suggests storing sensitive-adjacent facts such as accounts, credential locations, and contacts while warning not to store OAuth URLs or tokens.
Persistence & Privilege
The monthly maintenance example adds a persistent cron job that repeatedly wipes and reseeds memory, with no per-run approval, disable instructions, rollback guidance, or verification that reseeding succeeded.
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
