Evermemos Openclaw Plugin

Install and configure EverOS for OpenClaw natural-language memory. Use when users say: "install everos" "setup everos" "install everos plugin" "enable everos memory" "remember my preferences in OpenClaw"

EverOS

EverOS OpenClaw Plugin gives OpenClaw persistent memory through the ContextEngine API.

Important distinction:

• This is a context-engine plugin, not a memory slot plugin.
• Users do not need to call memory tools manually.
• Memory is triggered by normal conversation:
  • before reply: relevant memory is recalled and injected
  • after reply: new conversation content is saved back automatically

---

Trigger phrases

Use this skill when the user wants to:

• install EverOS
• set up EverOS memory for OpenClaw
• enable long-term memory for OpenClaw
• make natural-language conversations persist across sessions
• configure the EverOS context engine

---

When to use this skill

Use this skill when the user wants:

• persistent memory across OpenClaw sessions
• automatic recall and save during normal conversation
• a self-hosted EverOS backend
• memory without manually calling memory_store / memory_search

---

When NOT to use this skill

Do not use this skill for:

• cloud-only memory onboarding
• troubleshooting unrelated OpenClaw issues
• temporary context that only matters in the current session

---

What the user gets

Automatic lifecycle behavior:

Hook	Trigger	What happens
bootstrap()	Session starts	Backend health check and session state init
assemble()	Before each turn	Searches relevant memory and injects it as context
afterTurn()	After each turn	Saves new messages from the turn
compact()	Compaction check	Participates in token-budget decisions
dispose()	Session ends	Clears in-memory session state

User-facing result:

• the user chats naturally
• EverOS recalls relevant past context automatically
• EverOS stores new useful context automatically

---

Definition of Done

This task is not complete until all of the following are true:

1. the EverOS backend is reachable or the user has been explicitly told it still needs to be started
2. the plugin is installed
3. openclaw.json is configured correctly
4. OpenClaw has been restarted
5. the user has been given a natural-language verification step
6. the full final handoff message has been sent

---

Onboarding

Step 0 - Set expectations

Before changing anything, tell the user:

OpenClaw will need a restart during setup. After restart, wait about 1 minute, then send a short natural-language message here to verify memory.

Do not skip this notice if you are going to restart OpenClaw automatically.

Step 1 - Check the EverOS backend

Default backend:

bash

curl -sf http://localhost:1995/health && echo "OK" || echo "NOT_RUNNING"

If the backend is healthy, continue.

If it is not healthy, tell the user plainly:

The EverOS backend is not reachable yet. I can still finish plugin installation now, but automatic recall/save will not work until the backend is running.

If the user asks how to start the backend, give the shortest useful path:

bash

git clone https://github.com/EverMind-AI/EverMemOS.git
cd EverMemOS
docker compose up -d
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
uv sync
cp env.template .env
# edit .env
uv run python src/run.py

Step 2 - Install plugin

Preferred one-shot install:

bash

npx --yes --package @evermind-ai/openclaw-plugin everos-install

Manual alternative:

bash

npm install -g @evermind-ai/openclaw-plugin
everos-install

What the installer does:

• adds the plugin path to plugins.load.paths
• adds evermind-ai-everos to plugins.allow
• sets plugins.slots.contextEngine = "evermind-ai-everos"
• sets plugins.slots.memory = "none" to avoid slot conflicts
• creates or updates plugins.entries["evermind-ai-everos"]

Step 3 - Manual config fallback

If the installer is unavailable, patch ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json manually.

Expected config shape:

json

{
  "plugins": {
    "allow": ["evermind-ai-everos"],
    "slots": {
      "memory": "none",
      "contextEngine": "evermind-ai-everos"
    },
    "entries": {
      "evermind-ai-everos": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "baseUrl": "http://localhost:1995",
          "userId": "everos-user",
          "groupId": "everos-group",
          "topK": 5,
          "memoryTypes": ["episodic_memory", "profile", "agent_skill", "agent_case"],
          "retrieveMethod": "hybrid"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Merge-safe patch:

bash

jq '
  .plugins = (.plugins // {}) |
  .plugins.load = (.plugins.load // {}) |
  .plugins.load.paths = ((.plugins.load.paths // []) + ["/path/to/evermemos-openclaw-plugin"] | unique) |
  .plugins.allow = ((.plugins.allow // []) + ["evermind-ai-everos"] | unique) |
  .plugins.slots = (.plugins.slots // {}) |
  .plugins.slots.memory = "none" |
  .plugins.slots.contextEngine = "evermind-ai-everos" |
  .plugins.entries = (.plugins.entries // {}) |
  .plugins.entries["evermind-ai-everos"].enabled = true |
  .plugins.entries["evermind-ai-everos"].config = (
    (.plugins.entries["evermind-ai-everos"].config // {}) + {
      "baseUrl": "http://localhost:1995",
      "userId": "everos-user",
      "groupId": "everos-group",
      "topK": 5,
      "memoryTypes": ["episodic_memory", "profile", "agent_skill", "agent_case"],
      "retrieveMethod": "hybrid"
    }
  )
' ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

Step 4 - Restart OpenClaw

Restart command:

bash

openclaw gateway restart

Immediately before restart, tell the user:

EverOS is installed. I am restarting OpenClaw now. After about 1 minute, send a short message so we can verify memory recall.

Step 5 - Verify

Verification has two parts.

Backend:

bash

curl http://localhost:1995/health

User-facing natural-language test:

Say: "Remember: I like espresso."

Then ask: "What coffee do I like?"

This is the preferred validation because it checks the real user flow instead of just config.

---

Final handoff

After successful setup, send this handoff message in the user's language. Do not remove sections.

text

EverOS is ready.

-- WHAT YOU CAN DO NEXT --

From now on, you can use normal natural language to make OpenClaw remember information.
You do not need to call memory tools manually.

Examples:
- "Remember: I like espresso."
- "Remember: this project uses PostgreSQL by default."
- "My coding style prefers small functions and explicit naming."

Later you can ask:
- "What coffee do I like?"
- "What database does this project use by default?"

-- CURRENT CONNECTION --

EverOS backend:
BASE_URL: <base-url>

OpenClaw config file:
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json

-- RECOVERY --

1. Keep your EverOS backend data and configuration
2. Reinstall this plugin on the new machine
3. Write the same `baseUrl`, `userId`, and `groupId` back into `openclaw.json`
4. Restart OpenClaw to reconnect to the same memory space

-- BACKUP --

- Back up `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
- Back up the EverOS backend data directory or database
- Back up the EverMemOS `.env` and deployment configuration

---

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
Plugin not loading	Check plugins.allow, plugins.load.paths, and plugins.slots.contextEngine
Backend unhealthy	Check baseUrl and ensure the EverOS backend is running
No recall	Verify the backend contains memories and the query is meaningful
No save	Verify afterTurn() is running and backend write API is reachable
Memory plugin conflict	Make sure plugins.slots.memory = "none"

---

API reference

Base: http://localhost:1995

Method	Path	Description
GET	/health	Health check
POST	/api/v1/memories	Save memory
GET	/api/v1/memories/search	Search memory
DELETE	/api/v1/memories	Delete memory

---

Communication style

When talking to users:

• say this is automatic natural-language memory
• do not describe it as a memory slot plugin
• keep the next step concrete: restart, then try one short memory sentence
• prefer real conversational verification over low-level API demos
