session-rotate-80
Auto-create a new session when OpenClaw context usage reaches 80% without requiring Mem0 or file memory systems. Use when users want default OpenClaw to proactively rotate sessions and avoid context overflow in long chats.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/0range-x/session-rotate-80What This Skill Does
The session-rotate-80 skill is a robust automation tool designed to monitor and manage OpenClaw context windows. By constantly tracking token consumption, this skill proactively triggers a session reset when usage hits the 80% threshold. This mechanism is specifically engineered to be agnostic of complex memory backends like Mem0 or external vector databases, making it the perfect lightweight solution for standard OpenClaw deployments. By rotating sessions before they hit hard limits, users avoid unexpected truncation, information loss, or model hallucination associated with context overflow. The skill acts as an intelligent supervisor, ensuring that long-running conversations remain performant and coherent throughout their entire lifecycle.
Installation
To install this skill, use the OpenClaw command-line interface within your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/0range-x/session-rotate-80
Ensure that you have the latest version of the OpenClaw runtime installed to support the heartbeat integration required for the context guard script.
Use Cases
- Long-Form Research: Ideal for deep-dive research tasks where the session length could span thousands of lines of code or complex analysis that would naturally exhaust the context window.
- Continuous Development Agents: Perfect for coding agents that maintain ongoing logs of file modifications and terminal output which accumulate heavy token counts over time.
- Automated Workflow Orchestration: Useful for agents managing multiple sub-tasks where context needs to be sanitized regularly to maintain high-quality model focus.
Example Prompts
- "Enable the session-rotate-80 guard to ensure my current coding session doesn't crash when I approach the token limit."
- "Monitor my context usage and perform a clean session rotation if I exceed the 80% threshold during this technical documentation draft."
- "Configure the system to trigger a new session automatically using the context_guard script whenever my chat history gets too long."
Tips & Limitations
- Proactive Management: This skill works best when integrated into your heartbeat flow, allowing the agent to handle the handoff seamlessly without user intervention.
- Memory Efficiency: Because this tool does not rely on persistent memory systems, it is highly resource-efficient; however, ensure you have a mechanism to carry forward essential summaries if your specific workflow requires continuity across sessions.
- Threshold Tuning: The 80% threshold is a default safe zone, but you can adjust the flag in
context_guard.pyif your specific model architecture handles high-context scenarios with lower latency.
