Soul Memory

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a legitimate memory plugin, but it automatically saves and injects long-term conversation memory and has an undeclared sensitive-credentials signal that users should review before installing.

Use this only if you intentionally want a persistent OpenClaw memory system. Before installing, inspect the shell installer and plugin, confirm whether any credentials or session data are accessed, and configure or disable automatic memory saving, heartbeat, cron cleanup, and context injection if they do not match your privacy expectations.

Findings (4)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

Private or outdated conversation details could be stored and later reused automatically in responses.

Why it was flagged

The skill automatically saves memory and injects retrieved memories into future prompts, which can carry sensitive or incorrect context across sessions.

Skill content
Auto-Trigger | Pre-response search + Post-response auto-save ... `before_prompt_build` Hook for automatic context injection ... Inject into prompt via `prependContext`
Recommendation

Install only if you want persistent long-term memory; configure clear retention, deletion, and exclusion rules, and avoid saving secrets or sensitive personal data.

What this means

Users cannot tell what credential-like data may be accessed or required.

Why it was flagged

The declared credential contract says no credentials are needed, but the capability signal indicates sensitive credential access, without explaining which credentials or scope.

Skill content
Required env vars: none ... Primary credential: none ... Capability signals: requires-sensitive-credentials
Recommendation

The publisher should document any credential, token, cookie, profile, or session access explicitly, including scope and storage behavior.

What this means

The memory system may keep running checks or updates in the background after installation.

Why it was flagged

The skill documents recurring automatic heartbeat execution, which is expected for this memory system but persists beyond a single explicit invocation.

每次 Heartbeat 時自動執行以下命令: `python3 /root/.openclaw/workspace/soul-memory/heartbeat-trigger.py` ... Heartbeat 檢查 | 每 30 分鐘左右
Recommendation

Review and disable heartbeat or cron jobs if you do not want automatic memory maintenance.

What this means

Running the installer can modify the local OpenClaw environment and enable plugin behavior.

Why it was flagged

Installation relies on a user-run shell script from a GitHub repository and installs an OpenClaw extension; this is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it is outside the registry install spec.

Skill content
git clone https://github.com/kingofqin2026/Soul-Memory-.git ... bash install.sh ... Plugin is automatically installed to ~/.openclaw/extensions/soul-memory
Recommendation

Inspect `install.sh`, the plugin manifest, and any cron changes before running the installer.
