Installation

Method 1: Auto-Install with Self-Registration (Recommended)

cd ~/.openclaw/skills/files-memory-system
./scripts/install.sh

This will:

1. ✅ Copy skill to /workspace/skills/files-memory-system/ (standard location)
2. ✅ Auto-register in AGENTS.md so the agent knows this skill exists
3. ✅ Enable auto-discovery on every agent startup

Method 2: Manual Install

# 1. Copy to standard location
mkdir -p /workspace/skills
cp -r ~/.openclaw/skills/files-memory-system /workspace/skills/

# 2. Run self-registration
cd /workspace/skills/files-memory-system
./scripts/post-install.sh

Method 3: Using clawhub

cd /workspace
clawhub install files-memory-system
# Then manually run:
./skills/files-memory-system/scripts/post-install.sh

Self-Registration Mechanism

This skill implements auto-declaration - it automatically adds a section to AGENTS.md upon installation. This ensures:

• The agent knows files-memory-system exists without being told
• Memory locations are documented where the agent reads
• No manual configuration needed after installation

To verify registration:

grep -A 20 "files-memory-system" /workspace/AGENTS.md

To unregister (remove from AGENTS.md):

sed -i '/<!-- files-memory-system: installed -->/,/<!-- files-memory-system: end -->/d' /workspace/AGENTS.md

Overview

This skill provides a complete memory management system that enables OpenClaw agents to maintain context across multiple chat groups while keeping group-specific memories and skills isolated. It includes:

• Group-isolated memory: Separate memory directories per group/channel
• Group-isolated skills: Skills installed per group, preventing cross-group pollution
• Global shared memory: Cross-group knowledge in memory/global/
• Long-term memory: MEMORY.md for curated, permanent memories
• Workspace organization: Structured projects/ and repos/ directories

Session Start - Automatic Memory Loading

⚠️ 重要: 每次进入会话时，必须自动加载对应的记忆！

群聊中的自动加载流程

当收到群聊消息时，按以下顺序加载记忆：

1. 读取群组 GLOBAL.md - 获取群组关键信息和资源索引

   memory/group_<channel>_<id>/GLOBAL.md
   

2. 读取今日和昨日记录 - 获取最近的对话上下文

   memory/group_<channel>_<id>/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today)
   memory/group_<channel>_<id>/YYYY-MM-DD.md (yesterday)
   

3. 读取跨群组全局记忆 - 获取跨群组共享的信息

   memory/global/GLOBAL.md
   

私聊中的自动加载流程

1. 读取私聊记录 - 今日和昨日

   memory/private/YYYY-MM-DD.md (today)
   memory/private/YYYY-MM-DD.md (yesterday)
   

2. 读取跨群组全局记忆

   memory/global/GLOBAL.md
   

3. 读取长期精华记忆 (仅私聊)

   MEMORY.md
   

记忆加载检查清单

群聊中必须加载：

• 当前群组的 GLOBAL.md
• 今天的群组日志 (YYYY-MM-DD.md)
• 昨天的群组日志 (回顾上下文)
• 跨群组全局记忆 (memory/global/GLOBAL.md)

私聊中必须加载：

• 私聊今日和昨日日志
• 跨群组全局记忆 (memory/global/GLOBAL.md)
• MEMORY.md (仅私聊)

Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: User Says "Clone This Repo" in a Group Chat

Context: User in group "oc_a2b821..." says: "Clone https://github.com/user/project"

Automatic Actions:

1. Detect current group context: group_feishu_oc_a2b821...
2. Clone to: memory/group_feishu_oc_a2b821.../repos/project/
3. Update group's GLOBAL.md with project info
4. Confirm: "✅ Cloned to group repos/project/"

Manual Commands:

# Option 1: Use auto-clone script
./scripts/auto-clone.sh https://github.com/user/project

# Option 2: Direct git clone
cd memory/group_feishu_xxx/repos
git clone https://github.com/user/project

# Option 3: Using environment variables
GROUP_ID="oc_xxx" CHANNEL="feishu" ./scripts/auto-clone.sh https://github.com/user/project

After Cloning - Update GLOBAL.md:

## 群组项目 (repos/)

| 项目名称 | 类型 | 描述 | 位置 |
|---------|------|------|------|
| project | cloned | 克隆的示例项目 | repos/project/ |

Scenario 2: Create New Project in Group Context

Context: User says: "Create a new tool for our group"

Automatic Actions:

1. Create project directory: memory/group_xxx/repos/my-tool/
2. Initialize with template if needed
3. Update GLOBAL.md
4. Start working in the group-specific location

Manual Commands:

# Create new project in group context
mkdir -p memory/group_feishu_xxx/repos/my-tool
cd memory/group_feishu_xxx/repos/my-tool
# ... create files ...

Scenario 3: Install Skill for Specific Group

Context: User says: "Install inkos skill for this group only"

Automatic Actions:

1. Install to: memory/group_xxx/skills/inkos/
2. Update group's GLOBAL.md
3. Skill is isolated to this group only

Manual Commands:

# Method 1: Using clawhub with --dir
clawhub install inkos --dir memory/group_feishu_xxx/skills

# Method 2: Manual copy
mkdir -p memory/group_feishu_xxx/skills/inkos
cp -r inkos/* memory/group_feishu_xxx/skills/inkos/

Update GLOBAL.md:

## 已安装的群组专属 Skills

| Skill | 版本 | 来源 | 描述 |
|-------|------|------|------|
| inkos | 1.0.0 | clawhub | 小说写作工具 |

Scenario 4: Record Information to Group Memory ⭐

Context: User in group chat says: "记录到群记忆里: 项目信息" / "记录到全局记忆里: API密钥" / "记住这个"

Automatic Actions (Agent Must Do):

1. Detect the intent: User wants to record information to group memory
2. Determine target location (按优先级匹配):
   • If "记录到群记忆里" → memory/group_<channel>_<id>/GLOBAL.md
   • If "记录到全局记忆里"/"记录到跨群记忆里" → memory/global/GLOBAL.md
   • If "记录到私聊里" → memory/private/GLOBAL.md
   • If "群文档"/"群组" (模糊指令) → memory/group_<channel>_<id>/GLOBAL.md
3. Write to file immediately: Do not just say "I remember", actually write to file!
4. Confirm: "✅ 已记录到群记忆" / "✅ 已保存到全局记忆"

Example 1: Record Project Info

User: "记录到群记忆里: 项目信息"
项目名称: MyApp
技术栈: React + Node.js
负责人: 张三

Agent Action:
1. Detect "记录到群记忆里" → Target: memory/group_xxx/GLOBAL.md
2. Format as table and append:

## 活跃项目

| 项目名称 | 技术栈 | 负责人 | 更新时间 |
|---------|--------|--------|----------|
| MyApp | React + Node.js | 张三 | 2026-03-23 |

3. Confirm: "✅ 已记录到群记忆"

Example 2: Record API Key (⚠️ Not Recommended)

User: "记录到全局记忆里：API密钥 sk-abc123"

⚠️ **SECURITY WARNING**:
Storing API keys in plain text in memory files is NOT recommended.
**Recommended approach: Use environment variables**

export API_KEY="sk-xxx"

Alternative (if environment variables not possible):
- Use a secrets manager
- Use encrypted storage

If user insists on storing in memory:
1. Warn: "⚠️ 存储 API 密钥到记忆文件存在安全风险，建议仅用于测试环境"
2. Detect target location based on user command
3. Format as table and append
4. Confirm: "✅ 已记录 (⚠️ 安全风险)"

Recommended User Commands:

• "记录到群记忆里: [内容]" → 仅当前群可见
• "记录到全局记忆里: [内容]" → 所有群共享
• "记录到跨群记忆里: [内容]" → 同全局记忆
• "记录到私聊里: [内容]" → 仅私聊可见

Critical Rules:

• ❌ DO NOT just say "I remember" without writing to file
• ❌ DO NOT store sensitive info without clarifying scope
• ✅ ALWAYS confirm the location where info is stored
• ✅ Use tables in GLOBAL.md for structured info
• ✅ Add timestamps for time-sensitive info

Scenario 5: Create Files in Group Chat ⭐

Context: User in group chat says: "帮我写一篇文章" / "创建一个文档" / "生成xxx文件"

Automatic Actions (Agent Must Do):

1. Detect the intent: User wants to create a file in group context
2. Determine correct location:
   • Default: memory/group_<channel>_<id>/articles/ (for articles/docs)
   • Code: memory/group_<channel>_<id>/repos/ (for code projects)
3. Create the file: Write to the correct group-specific path
4. Auto-update GLOBAL.md: ⚠️ CRITICAL - After creating file, auto-append to GLOBAL.md
5. Confirm: "✅ 已创建并记录到群文档"

Scenario 6: Working Across Multiple Groups

Context: Same user in different groups

Group A (小说创作):

• Skills: memory/group_A/skills/inkos/
• Projects: memory/group_A/repos/novel-tools/

Group B (编程学习):

• Skills: memory/group_B/skills/code-helper/
• Projects: memory/group_B/repos/exercises/

Behavior:

• In Group A: Only sees inkos, not code-helper
• In Group B: Only sees code-helper, not inkos
• No pollution between groups!

Scenario 5: Migrate Information to Global

Context: Information becomes relevant to multiple groups

Migration Process:

1. Move from: memory/group_A/GLOBAL.md
2. To: memory/global/GLOBAL.md
3. Update Group A with reference
4. All groups can now access

Example:

# Original in group_A/GLOBAL.md
## Project Configuration
Config: xxx

# After migration - in global/GLOBAL.md
## Shared Project Configuration
Config: xxx

# In group_A/GLOBAL.md - add reference
## 跨群组资源
See: memory/global/GLOBAL.md

⚠️ Security Note: Do NOT migrate API keys, passwords, or other sensitive credentials to global memory. Keep secrets in environment variables or private memory only.

Group-Isolated Skills System

Promoting Cross-Group Memory Awareness

1. Include Reference in Group GLOBAL.md

Every group's GLOBAL.md should include:

## Cross-Group Resources

📚 **Cross-Group Global Memory**: `memory/global/GLOBAL.md`

Contains information shared across all groups.

2. Key Information to Store Globally

• Relevant to multiple groups
• Common standards or conventions
• Shared resources (non-sensitive)
• Tool documentation and links

⚠️ Security Note: Do NOT store API keys, passwords, or other sensitive credentials in global memory. Use environment variables or private memory for secrets.

3. Migration from Group to Global

When information becomes relevant to multiple groups:

1. Move to memory/global/GLOBAL.md
2. Update original with reference link
3. Notify affected groups

Memory Auto-Initialization

All memory directories are automatically initialized using a dual approach (A + B):

Approach A: Installation-Time Setup

When installing files-memory-system, the following directories are automatically created:

• memory/private/ with GLOBAL.md
• memory/global/ with GLOBAL.md

Approach B: On-Demand Setup

When using auto-clone.sh or other scripts, the system automatically detects and initializes missing directories:

• Group context: Calls ensure-group-memory.sh
• Private context: Calls ensure-private-memory.sh
• Global operations: Calls ensure-global-memory.sh

This ensures all memory locations are always available when needed, even if:

• The installation step was skipped
• The directory was accidentally deleted
• Working in a new workspace

Memory Directory Comparison

Security Notes

• MEMORY.md only loaded in private chats
• Group skills completely isolated
• Preserve group memory on disband
