Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install arc-warm-wake
What This Skill Does
Reads the most recent journal entry before loading task context on every agent startup or context reset. Intended for autonomous agents that lose continuity across context window deaths. Shows session status, lists memory files, then loads the wake state.
A task list tells an agent what to do, but a journal entry restores the reflective context and voice that pure task logs don't capture.
When to use it
- Starting a new agent session after overnight shutdown
- Recovering agent identity after a context window crash
- Reviewing what you were thinking before resuming autonomous work
- Checking session status after an unexpected restart
- Grounding a new context with reflective notes from a previous session
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: run warm wake on startup
AGENT
- 1Locate the most recent journal entry in ~/autonomous-ai/journal/entries/
- 2Display journal content to establish identity context
- 3Show session status (clean wake or crash recovery)
- 4List memory files from the memory directory
- 5Load wake-state.md to surface current task context
OUTPUT
Agent reads its last journal entry, sees whether it woke clean or crashed, reviews persisted memory files, and then loads its task list
