Memos

What This Skill Does

The Memos skill for OpenClaw provides a robust and streamlined interface for interacting with your Memos instance. Designed as a lightweight note-taking and knowledge management bridge, this skill allows users to execute create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations directly from the command line or via OpenClaw's natural language agent interface. By connecting your local or hosted Memos instance via personal access tokens, you can transform your OpenClaw agent into a personal knowledge base assistant that captures thoughts, retrieves historical notes, and manages your personal wiki on the fly.

Installation

To install the Memos skill, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/fty4/memos. Once installed, you must configure two environment variables within your OpenClaw environment: MEMOS_URL, which points to your Memos API base URL, and MEMOS_TOKEN, your authentication token. Ensure your instance is accessible to the agent. If these variables are missing, the skill will fail immediately to protect your credentials.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for users who prioritize "second brain" methodologies. You can use it to archive important snippets from conversations, quickly dump thoughts before they are forgotten, or search through historical notes during deep-work sessions. It works exceptionally well in workflows where you are summarizing project discussions and need to persist those summaries into your private knowledge graph.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, create a new public memo with the following content: Brainstormed new architecture for the inventory project. #project #architecture"
2. "Search for the last 50 memos I've created to see what I was working on yesterday."
3. "Fetch the content of the memo with ID 123 and summarize the main takeaways for my daily log."

Tips & Limitations

The Memos skill automatically appends the #openclaw tag to every entry, which helps in segregating agent-generated content from manual notes. Note that while you can use force deletion, you should exercise caution as this is an irreversible action. Always ensure your network has stable access to your Memos instance, as latency may affect command responsiveness. Finally, when referencing memos in output, utilize the provided URL formatting for seamless deep-linking back to your dashboard.
