Conversation Archiver

Standardized workflow for archiving completed conversations and projects.

Requirements

  • File system access (workspace directory)
  • Optional: OpenClaw Discord channel for posting summaries

When to Use

  • Project reaches completion
  • A conversation thread is resolved
  • User says "archive this" or "we're done with X"
  • Periodic cleanup of old project channels

Workflow

  1. Write summary file:

    • Path: archive/conversations/YYYY-MM-DD_topic-slug.md
    • Format:
      # [Topic Name]
      **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
      **Duration:** [how long the project/conversation spanned]
      **Status:** Completed
      
      ## Summary
      [2-3 paragraph summary of what happened]
      
      ## Key Decisions
      - [Decision 1]
      - [Decision 2]
      
      ## Outcomes
      - [What was built/changed/resolved]
      
      ## Open Items
      - [Anything left unresolved, or "None"]
      
  2. Post to Discord (optional): Send summary to a designated archive channel

    • Keep Discord post concise -- summary + outcomes only
    • Link to the full file if details are long
  3. Update daily memory: Add a line to today's memory file noting the archival

  4. Update tasks: If the conversation relates to a tracked task, mark it complete

Naming Convention

File slug: lowercase, hyphens, no special chars. Examples:

  • 2026-02-24_discord-server-cleanup.md
  • 2026-02-20_multi-user-agent-deploy.md
  • 2026-02-15_connector-setup.md

Configuration

Set these in your workspace to customize:

  • Archive directory: Default archive/conversations/ relative to workspace
  • Discord channel: Set a channel ID for posting summaries (optional)
  • Memory file pattern: Default memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
