Synthetic Supermemory

Workflows

Full automated memory pipeline for OpenClaw agents. Scribe session transcripts into structured daily memory files, ingest them into Supermemory for semantic recall, and retrieve enriched context at session startup. Use when you want persistent memory across sessions without agent self-reporting. Triggers on requests like "set up memory", "remember sessions", "recall context", "ingest memory files", "search memories", or any task requiring long-term agent memory. Requires SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY (or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).

Install

openclaw skills install synthetic-supermemory

synthetic-supermemory

Full memory pipeline for OpenClaw agents. Three components that work together:

session transcripts
      ↓ scribe.js (hourly system cron)
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
      ↓ ingest.js (every 2h system cron)
Supermemory (containerTag per agent)
      ↓ recall.js (session startup)
enriched context

No gateway involvement. No context bloat. Fully automated.

⚠️ Privacy notice

scribe.js sends conversation transcript content to an external LLM (OpenAI or Anthropic) for summarization. If your sessions contain secrets, API keys, or PII — be aware that content will be sent to the provider. Use a dedicated low-privilege API key with spend limits.

Quick setup

# Install dependencies
cd /path/to/skills/synthetic-supermemory && npm install

# Store keys securely (do NOT put secrets in crontab)
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/secrets
echo "sk-your-openai-key" > ~/.openclaw/secrets/scribe-key && chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/secrets/scribe-key
echo "sm-your-supermemory-key" > ~/.openclaw/secrets/supermemory-key && chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/secrets/supermemory-key

# Test scribe (dry-run)
SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY=$(cat ~/.openclaw/secrets/supermemory-key) \
node scripts/scribe.js \
  --agents-dir ~/.openclaw/agents \
  --all-sessions \
  --memory-dir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory \
  --api-key-file ~/.openclaw/secrets/scribe-key \
  --dry-run

# Test recall
SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY=$(cat ~/.openclaw/secrets/supermemory-key) \
node scripts/recall.js --container my-agent

Cron setup (add via `crontab -e`)

Scripts

Script	Purpose	Usage
`scribe.js`	Summarize session transcripts → daily memory files + Supermemory	Hourly cron
`ingest.js`	Ingest changed memory files → Supermemory (upsert, change-tracked)	Every 2h cron
`recall.js`	Retrieve context at session startup	Session start
`add.js`	Add a single memory from CLI or stdin	On demand
`search.js`	Semantic search across memories	On demand

scribe.js options

Flag	Description	Default
`--agents-dir <dir>`	OpenClaw agents directory	—
`--all-sessions`	Scribe all recently active sessions	—
`--sessions <dir>`	Single agent sessions directory	—
`--session-id <id>`	Specific session UUID	—
`--auto-session <key>`	Auto-resolve session by key suffix	—
`--memory-dir <dir>`	Directory for daily memory files	required
`--provider <name>`	LLM provider: `openai` or `anthropic`	auto-detected
`--model <model>`	Summarization model	`gpt-4o-mini`

`--dry-run`	Print without writing	false

ingest.js / recall.js / search.js / add.js options

All take --container <tag> to namespace memories per agent.

# Ingest a directory
node scripts/ingest.js --dir ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory --container sapphire

# Recall context at session start
node scripts/recall.js --container sapphire --query "recent projects and identity"

# Add a one-off memory
node scripts/add.js --container sapphire --content "Kitsune prefers dark mode"

# Search
node scripts/search.js --container sapphire --query "TokTeam deployment"
