daily-memory-save

What This Skill Does

The daily-memory-save skill is a sophisticated background automation designed to preserve the continuity of your interaction history with OpenClaw. It functions as a digital scribe, periodically scanning your session logs to extract, synthesize, and categorize valuable information. By maintaining a dual-layer memory system—comprising granular daily records in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and high-level, persistent insights in MEMORY.md—this skill ensures that context is not lost when sessions terminate or time out. It operates silently to minimize friction, filtering out transient chatter while prioritizing actionable data such as project milestones, user preferences, and evolving project requirements.

Installation

To install this skill, use the OpenClaw command-line interface within your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/meimakes/daily-memory-save After installation, configure your system event scheduler to trigger the skill at appropriate intervals, such as every two hours during your active working day, to ensure consistent documentation of your progress.

Use Cases

• Project Management: Automatically track evolving requirements and architecture decisions across long-running development tasks.
• Personal Productivity: Maintain a log of personal preferences and communication styles that the agent should adopt in future interactions.
• Continuity Assurance: Seamlessly pick up complex reasoning tasks where you left off, even after several days of inactivity.
• Knowledge Management: Build a searchable knowledge base of lessons learned from debugging, research, or creative brainstorms.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, can you review today's MEMORY.md file and summarize the three most important architectural decisions we reached this week?"
2. "Update my long-term memory to prioritize concise technical documentation over conversational filler in future interactions."
3. "Is there any record in my daily memory files from last Tuesday regarding the API integration issues we faced?"

Tips & Limitations

• Review Cycles: Periodically audit your MEMORY.md file. Over time, redundant or outdated information can clutter your context window; manually pruning this file keeps your agent's recall efficient.
• Privacy: Since this skill writes files to your local machine, ensure your workspace is stored in a secure, encrypted, and backed-up directory.
• Silent Operation: While the default is silent, enabling 'Notification Mode' for a few days can help you understand how the skill parses your conversations, allowing you to tune the 'look for' criteria in your cron settings for better accuracy.
