Context Bridge

Never lose project context again. Context Bridge creates persistent memory across agent sessions, letting you resume complex projects days or weeks later with full context of conversations, decisions, and progress.

When to Use

• Resuming work on a multi-day project
• Recalling what was decided in previous sessions
• Finding past conversation threads about a topic
• Bridging context after time away from a project
• Building institutional memory of your work
• Preventing repeated explanations to your agent
• Tracking decision history and reasoning
• Creating project narratives over time

The Problem This Solves

Agents forget between sessions. Every /new command wipes the slate clean. You waste time re-explaining context, re-sharing decisions, and re-establishing what you were working on.

Context Bridge remembers for you. It saves conversation threads, decisions, file changes, and reasoning - then reconstructs full context when you return.

Quick Start

Save Current Session Context

# Save context with a project name
echo "Save this session as: api-redesign" | openclaw agent

# Or save with description
echo "Save context: api-redesign - Switched from REST to GraphQL" | openclaw agent

Resume a Previous Session

# Resume specific project
echo "Resume context: api-redesign" | openclaw agent

# List available contexts
echo "List saved contexts" | openclaw agent

# Search contexts by keyword
echo "Find contexts about authentication" | openclaw agent

What Gets Saved

Context Bridge captures comprehensive session data:

1. Conversation Thread

• Full message history (user + agent)
• Timestamp of each exchange
• Command sequences

2. Decisions Made

• Extracted decision points: "We decided to use X because Y"
• Reasoning and alternatives considered
• Trade-offs discussed

3. File Changes

• Files created, modified, deleted
• Diffs of code changes
• File paths and descriptions
