Memory Workflow Skill 🧠⚡

A comprehensive memory management system that implements:

• Three-tier memory architecture (HOT/WARM/COLD)
• Automatic morning review (daily memory recap)
• Project indexing (quick project status lookup)
• Memory tiering (automated context organization)

Installation

# Copy to your skills directory
cp -r memory-workflow ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/

# Or use clawhub
clawhub install memory-workflow

Quick Start

1. Initialize the workflow

# Run initialization
openclaw skill memory-workflow init

This creates:

• memory/hot/HOT_MEMORY.md - Active tasks
• memory/warm/WARM_MEMORY.md - Stable preferences
• PROJECT_INDEX.md - Project quick reference

2. Daily morning review

# Manual trigger
openclaw skill memory-workflow morning-review

# Or wait for automatic cron job (06:30 daily)

3. Organize memory tiers

# Organize context across tiers
openclaw skill memory-workflow organize

Cron Job Setup

The skill automatically sets up a morning review cron job:

# Daily at 06:30 (GMT+8)
openclaw cron add \
  --name "morning-memory-review" \
  --cron "0 30 22 * * *" \
  --message "Execute morning memory review" \
  --skill memory-workflow

Integration with AGENTS.md

The skill updates AGENTS.md to include automatic memory loading:

## Every Session

Before doing anything else:

1. Read `SOUL.md`
2. Read `USER.md`
3. Read `memory/hot/HOT_MEMORY.md`
4. Read `memory/warm/WARM_MEMORY.md`
5. Read `PROJECT_INDEX.md`
6. Read `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (today + yesterday)
7. **If in MAIN SESSION**: Also read `MEMORY.md`

Best Practices

Daily Workflow

1. Morning: Review automatic morning summary
2. During work: Update HOT_MEMORY.md with active tasks
3. End of day: Update daily log and PROJECT_INDEX.md
4. Weekly: Run organize to archive completed tasks

Memory Updates

Update HOT when:

• Starting new task
• Task status changes
• Context switches

Update WARM when:

• Preferences change
• New skills installed
• Workflow changes

Update COLD when:

• Project completed
• Major milestone reached
• Weekly review

Troubleshooting

"Memory files not found"

Run initialization:

openclaw skill memory-workflow init

"Morning review not running"

Check cron status:

openclaw cron list
openclaw cron status

"Context too long"

Organize memory tiers:

openclaw skill memory-workflow organize
