What This Skill Does

A Node-based helper for OpenClaw agents that reduces context token usage via delta compression and caching. Before each model call, agents query packed context; after replying, they ingest the turn to build persistent memory across sessions.

Combining delta compression, caching, and cross-session memory in a single script lets agents cut token spend without restructuring their prompting logic.

When to use it

  • Cutting LLM API costs on long-running agent workflows
  • Persisting user preferences and past decisions across sessions
  • Retrieving only relevant prior context for a specific query
  • Tracking token savings and API spend with cost analytics
  • Pre-warming cache for predictable high-traffic agent queries

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: What did we decide about the retriever cache in our last session?

AGENT
  1. 1Run query_context with the user's question and session ID to retrieve compressed prior context
  2. 2Inject the returned context into the model prompt instead of the full conversation history
  3. 3Call the model and receive a response
  4. 4Run ingest_session with the user and assistant messages to persist the turn to long-term memory
OUTPUT

Agent answers using compressed prior context; the turn is stored and available for future sessions
