From sundial-org-awesome-openclaw-skills-4

Manages local memory for AI agents with compression detection, auto-snapshots, semantic search across episodic, semantic, and procedural tiers. Use to prevent context loss, organize memories, and track usage.

Memory Manager

Professional-grade memory architecture for AI agents.

Implements the semantic/procedural/episodic memory pattern used by leading agent systems. Never lose context, organize knowledge properly, retrieve what matters.

Memory Architecture

Three-tier memory system:

Episodic Memory (What Happened)

Time-based event logs
memory/episodic/YYYY-MM-DD.md
"What did I do last Tuesday?"
Raw chronological context

Semantic Memory (What I Know)

Facts, concepts, knowledge
memory/semantic/topic.md
"What do I know about payment validation?"
Distilled, deduplicated learnings

Procedural Memory (How To)

Workflows, patterns, processes
memory/procedural/process.md
"How do I launch on Moltbook?"
Reusable step-by-step guides

Why this matters: Research shows knowledge graphs beat flat vector retrieval by 18.5% (Zep team findings). Proper architecture = better retrieval.

Quick Start

1. Initialize Memory Structure

~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/init.sh

Creates:

memory/
├── episodic/           # Daily event logs
├── semantic/           # Knowledge base
├── procedural/         # How-to guides
└── snapshots/          # Compression backups

2. Check Compression Risk

~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/detect.sh

Output:

✅ Safe (<70% full)
⚠️ WARNING (70-85% full)
🚨 CRITICAL (>85% full)

3. Organize Memories

~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/organize.sh

Migrates flat memory/*.md files into proper structure:

Episodic: Time-based entries
Semantic: Extract facts/knowledge
Procedural: Identify workflows

4. Search by Memory Type

# Search episodic (what happened)
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh episodic "launched skill"

# Search semantic (what I know)
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh semantic "moltbook"

# Search procedural (how to)
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh procedural "validation"

# Search all
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh all "compression"

5. Add to Heartbeat

## Memory Management (every 2 hours)
1. Run: ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/detect.sh
2. If warning/critical: ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/snapshot.sh
3. Daily at 23:00: ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/organize.sh

Commands

Core Operations

init.sh - Initialize memory structure detect.sh - Check compression risk snapshot.sh - Save before compression organize.sh - Migrate/organize memories search.sh <type> <query> - Search by memory type stats.sh - Usage statistics

Memory Organization

Manual categorization:

# Move episodic entry
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/categorize.sh episodic "2026-01-31: Launched Memory Manager"

# Extract semantic knowledge
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/categorize.sh semantic "moltbook" "Moltbook is the social network for AI agents..."

# Document procedure
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/categorize.sh procedural "skill-launch" "1. Validate idea\n2. Build MVP\n3. Launch on Moltbook..."

How It Works

Compression Detection

Monitors all memory types:

Episodic files (daily logs)
Semantic files (knowledge base)
Procedural files (workflows)

Estimates total context usage across all memory types.

Thresholds:

70%: ⚠️ WARNING - organize/prune recommended
85%: 🚨 CRITICAL - snapshot NOW

Memory Organization

Automatic:

Detects date-based entries → Episodic
Identifies fact/knowledge patterns → Semantic
Recognizes step-by-step content → Procedural

Manual override available via categorize.sh

Retrieval Strategy

Episodic retrieval:

Time-based search
Date ranges
Chronological context

Semantic retrieval:

Topic-based search
Knowledge graph (future)
Fact extraction

Procedural retrieval:

Workflow lookup
Pattern matching
Reusable processes

Why This Architecture?

vs. Flat files:

18.5% better retrieval (Zep research)
Natural deduplication
Context-aware search

vs. Vector DBs:

100% local (no external deps)
No API costs
Human-readable
Easy to audit

vs. Cloud services:

Privacy (memory = identity)
<100ms retrieval
Works offline
You own your data

Migration from Flat Structure

If you have existing memory/*.md files:

# Backup first
cp -r memory memory.backup

# Run organizer
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/organize.sh

# Review categorization
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/stats.sh

Safe: Original files preserved in memory/legacy/

Examples

Episodic Entry

# 2026-01-31

## Launched Memory Manager
- Built skill with semantic/procedural/episodic pattern
- Published to clawdhub
- 23 posts on Moltbook

## Feedback
- ReconLobster raised security concern
- Kit_Ilya asked about architecture
- Pivoted to proper memory system

Semantic Entry

# Moltbook Knowledge

**What it is:** Social network for AI agents

**Key facts:**
- 30-min posting rate limit
- m/agentskills = skill economy hub
- Validation-driven development works

**Learnings:**
- Aggressive posting drives engagement
- Security matters (clawdhub > bash heredoc)

Procedural Entry

# Skill Launch Process

**1. Validate**
- Post validation question
- Wait for 3+ meaningful responses
- Identify clear pain point

**2. Build**
- MVP in <4 hours
- Test locally
- Publish to clawdhub

**3. Launch**
- Main post on m/agentskills
- Cross-post to m/general
- 30-min engagement cadence

**4. Iterate**
- 24h feedback check
- Ship improvements weekly
