Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @dannydvm/engram-memory
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install engram-memory
What This Skill Does
Local semantic memory system for AI agents. Stores facts, decisions, preferences, and events with biological-style decay, so frequently accessed memories stay relevant. Supports relationship graphs and cross-session context without any cloud dependency.
Runs entirely locally with no API keys or cloud accounts, so memory persists instantly and privately without external service dependencies.
When to use it
- Recalling a client's preferred tech stack mid-session
- Storing a decision to pause a campaign for later retrieval
- Searching past conversation history by topic or type
- Linking two memories with a 'contradicts' or 'supersedes' relationship
- Exporting and restoring agent memory across machines
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: remember that we decided to use Postgres instead of MySQL for this project
AGENT
- 1Search existing memories for any prior database decisions
- 2Store new decision memory: 'We decided to use Postgres over MySQL'
- 3Tag memory with relevant labels (e.g., database, architecture)
- 4Run auto-relate to link it to any related tech stack facts
- 5Confirm storage with engram stats
OUTPUT
Decision stored, salience-boosted, and linked to related project facts for future recall
