Setup & Installation
openclaw skills install @webdevtodayjason/memo-persistent-memory
Or with the ClawHub CLI, for registry-managed skill folders outside a full OpenClaw workspace:
npx clawhub install memo-persistent-memory
What This Skill Does
Adds persistent memory to OpenClaw sessions using a local SQLite database with full-text search. Memories are captured automatically after each response and injected before the next prompt, keeping context available across sessions.
Unlike in-session context that resets when the conversation ends, this system persists observations to a local database and retrieves only semantically relevant memories, avoiding token bloat.
When to use it
- Remembering project-specific decisions across multiple work sessions
- Recalling user preferences without re-explaining them each time
- Tracking ongoing tasks and their current state between conversations
- Surfacing relevant past context when starting a new related task
- Storing and retrieving notes from previous debugging sessions
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: 'What was the database schema we decided on last week?'
AGENT
- 1auto-recall triggers and searches the memory store for relevant observations
- 2memory_search queries the SQLite FTS5 index with natural language
- 3matching memories are injected into the prompt context before the agent responds
- 4agent uses the retrieved schema details to answer directly
OUTPUT
Agent answers with the previously stored schema decision without the user needing to repeat it
