Memory Lifecycle
PassAudited by VirusTotal on May 11, 2026.
Overview
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: memory-lifecycle Version: 0.1.1 The skill bundle 'memory-lifecycle' provides standard instructions and workflows for managing the status and organization of notes within a knowledge management system. It focuses on moving files between folders (e.g., active to archive) and updating metadata, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or unauthorized execution.
Findings (0)
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.
If the agent identifies the wrong note or status, it could move or edit a memory item incorrectly.
The skill instructs the agent to use tools that mutate the user’s Basic Memory notes. This is expected for lifecycle management, but users should notice that the skill can reorganize and edit stored notes.
Use `move_note` to relocate the entity to the appropriate status folder ... After moving, update the status in frontmatter ... `edit_note`
Review ambiguous matches and batch confirmations before allowing changes, especially for important notes.
Misclassified notes may remain in memory and influence future searches or agent behavior.
The skill intentionally preserves and modifies persistent knowledge-graph context. Incorrect lifecycle changes could affect how future tasks interpret stored memory.
Completed work is valuable context — move it out of the active view, but keep it in the knowledge graph.
Periodically review archived/completed folders and frontmatter status fields to ensure stored memory remains accurate.
