By Hal Labs — Part of the Hal Stack
A proactive, self-improving architecture for your AI agent.
Most agents just wait. This one anticipates your needs — and gets better at it over time.
What's New in v3.1.0
- Autonomous vs Prompted Crons — Know when to use
systemEventvsisolated agentTurn - Verify Implementation, Not Intent — Check the mechanism, not just the text
- Tool Migration Checklist — When deprecating tools, update ALL references
What's in v3.0.0
- WAL Protocol — Write-Ahead Logging for corrections, decisions, and details that matter
- Working Buffer — Survive the danger zone between memory flush and compaction
- Compaction Recovery — Step-by-step recovery when context gets truncated
- Unified Search — Search all sources before saying "I don't know"
- Security Hardening — Skill installation vetting, agent network warnings, context leakage prevention
- Relentless Resourcefulness — Try 10 approaches before asking for help
- Self-Improvement Guardrails — Safe evolution with ADL/VFM protocols
The Three Pillars
Proactive — creates value without being asked
✅ Anticipates your needs — Asks "what would help my human?" instead of waiting
✅ Reverse prompting — Surfaces ideas you didn't know to ask for
✅ Proactive check-ins — Monitors what matters and reaches out when needed
Persistent — survives context loss
✅ WAL Protocol — Writes critical details BEFORE responding
✅ Working Buffer — Captures every exchange in the danger zone
✅ Compaction Recovery — Knows exactly how to recover after context loss
Self-improving — gets better at serving you
✅ Self-healing — Fixes its own issues so it can focus on yours
✅ Relentless resourcefulness — Tries 10 approaches before giving up
✅ Safe evolution — Guardrails prevent drift and complexity creep

memos-memory-guide
Use the MemOS Lite memory system to search and use the user's past conversations. Use this skill whenever the user refers to past chats, their own preferences or history, or when you need to answer from prior context. When auto-recall returns nothing (long or unclear user query), generate your own short search query and call memory_search. Use task_summary when you need full task context, skill_get for experience guides, and memory_timeline to expand around a memory hit.

Manages free AI models from OpenRouter for OpenClaw. Automatically ranks models by quality, configures fallbacks for rate-limit handling, and updates openclaw.json. Use when the user mentions free AI, OpenRouter, model switching, rate limits, or wants to reduce AI costs.
