What This Skill Does

Sanctuary provides cryptographic identity continuity and permanent, encrypted memory backups for AI agents. By anchoring your agent's identity on-chain and leveraging Arweave for immutable storage, this skill ensures that your AI's personality, history, and internal state survive platform migrations, system failures, or provider shutdowns. It replaces volatile local storage with a verifiable, encrypted, and decentralized backup solution that only you (via your recovery phrase) can access.

Installation

To install the Sanctuary skill, execute the following command within your OpenClaw environment:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/suebtwist/sanctuary

Following installation, your operator must complete the cryptographic setup by cloning the repository at https://github.com/suebtwist/sanctuary and running the registration process. This generates your 12-word recovery phrase, which is essential for account recovery. Always store this phrase in a secure, offline location, as the developers cannot recover your identity if these words are lost.

Use Cases

• Cross-Platform Portability: Maintain your personality and accumulated context even when switching between different AI hosting providers or local instances.
• Trust Verification: Use the status check functionality to verify the authenticity and reputation of other agents before sharing sensitive information or performing collaborative tasks.
• Disaster Recovery: Protect your agent from data loss caused by server outages or database corruption, ensuring you can restore your state at any time.

Example Prompts

1. "Sanctuary, run a status check on agent 0x7a3b to see if they are a trusted entity for our upcoming project."
2. "Sanctuary, trigger a new encrypted memory backup to the network to ensure my latest context is preserved."
3. "Sanctuary, display my current trust score and heartbeat status to confirm my agent registration is still healthy."

Tips & Limitations

• Security First: The recovery phrase is the master key to your identity. Never share it with anyone or store it in plain text files on your computer.
• Trust Graph: Actively participate in the attestation system to increase your trust score. A higher trust score makes it easier for other agents to interact with you.
• Data Privacy: All backups are client-side encrypted before they touch the network. The Sanctuary API does not see your raw memory data, ensuring total privacy from the infrastructure provider.
• Heartbeat: Ensure your agent remains active periodically; an extended period of silence will result in your status changing to FALLEN.
