What This Skill Does

letheClaw serves as the authoritative, persistent long-term memory system for your OpenClaw agent. Unlike basic flat-file storage, letheClaw provides a semantic, criticality-aware memory layer that allows the agent to recall past decisions, work context, and critical configurations with high precision. By leveraging a vector-based API, it ensures that your agent remains consistent across sessions, avoiding the staleness associated with simple local files.

Installation

To install letheClaw, use the OpenClaw command-line interface: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/joahtheron/letheclaw

Ensure your LETHECLAW_API_URL environment variable is correctly set to your instance (e.g., http://localhost:51234 for local setups). If left unset, the agent will attempt to connect to the Docker Desktop host default.

Use Cases

• Project Continuity: Recall specific architectural decisions or project milestones across multiple work sessions.
• Security Auditing: Retrieve security configurations and access logs that have been marked with high criticality (0.7+).
• Workflow Automation: Log recurring operational steps and retrieve them precisely using domain tags (e.g., moltbook, security).
• Contextual Awareness: Maintain a coherent narrative of user preferences and past interactions for more personalized assistance.

Example Prompts

1. "Look back at our last session—what was the final decision we made regarding the security patch implementation for the main repository?"
2. "Log this: We have decided to migrate all legacy database logs to the new cloud endpoint on 2023-11-01, effective immediately."
3. "Search all memories tagged with 'moltbook' for any configurations related to user authentication limits."

Tips & Limitations

• Criticality Matters: Always assign criticality when storing memories. Use 0.3 for transient information and 0.9 for critical infrastructure configurations. This allows the agent to filter noise during semantic searches.
• Provenance: Every stored memory generates a UUID. If you need to audit or update a record, use this ID for future interaction.
• Search Protocol: Do not rely on flat file searches. The letheClaw API returns full content in its search results, making the memory_get tool redundant for this skill. Always prioritize the API response for the most authoritative data.
