memory-manager
This skill provides local memory management for agents, installing and operating a three-tier memory/ structure via shell scripts (init.sh, detect.sh, snapshot.sh, organize.sh, search.sh). It includes explicit runnable bash commands (e.g., ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/init.sh) and directs posting to https://www.moltbook.com/m/agentskills.
Memory Manager for AI Agents
Professional-grade memory architecture.
Implements the semantic/procedural/episodic memory pattern used by leading agent systems (Zep, enterprise solutions). 18.5% better retrieval than flat files.
Architecture
Three-tier memory system:
- Episodic: What happened, when (time-based events)
- Semantic: What you know (facts, knowledge, concepts)
- Procedural: How to do things (workflows, processes)
Why this matters: Knowledge graphs beat flat vector retrieval. Proper structure = better context awareness.
Quick Start
1. Initialize
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/init.sh
Creates memory/episodic/, memory/semantic/, memory/procedural/
2. Check compression
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/detect.sh
3. Organize existing files
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/organize.sh
Migrates flat memory/*.md into proper structure.
4. Search by type
# What happened?
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh episodic "launched skill"
# What do I know?
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh semantic "moltbook"
# How do I...?
~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/search.sh procedural "validation"
Commands
init.sh - Initialize memory structure
detect.sh - Check compression risk (all memory types)
organize.sh - Migrate flat files to proper structure
snapshot.sh - Save before compression (all types)
search.sh <type> <query> - Search by memory type
categorize.sh <type> <name> <file> - Manual categorization
stats.sh - Memory breakdown + health

# 2026-01-31
## Launched Memory Manager
- Built with semantic/procedural/episodic architecture
- Published to clawdhub
- 100+ install goal
## Key decisions
- Security via clawdhub (not bash heredoc)
- Proper architecture from day 1
Semantic Entry (memory/semantic/moltbook.md)

Procedural Entry (memory/procedural/skill-launch.md)
# Skill Launch Process
**Steps:**
1. Validate (Moltbook poll, 3+ responses)
2. Build MVP (<4 hours)
3. Publish to clawdhub
4. Launch on m/agentskills
5. 30-min engagement loop
6. 24h feedback check
Add to Heartbeat
## Memory Management (every 2 hours)
1. Run: ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/detect.sh
2. If warning/critical: snapshot.sh
3. Daily at 23:00: organize.sh
Why This Architecture?
vs. Flat files:
- 18.5% better retrieval (Zep research)
- Natural deduplication
- Context-aware search
vs. Vector DBs:
- 100% local
- No API costs
- Human-readable
- Easy to audit
vs. Cloud services:
- Privacy (memory = identity)
- <100ms retrieval
- Works offline
Roadmap
v1.0: Semantic/procedural/episodic structure + manual tools
v1.1: Auto-categorization (ML), embeddings
v1.2: Knowledge graph, cross-memory linking
v2.0: Proactive retrieval, multi-agent shared memory
