Smart Memory Keeper

解决 AI /new 后失忆问题的记忆管理 skill。三层加载机制（热/温/冷），session 启动时只取当前需要的记忆，省 token。 包含：任务状态恢复、每日日记、项目索引、Dream 定期整理。纯文件系统，无需外部服务。 用户说"先这样"、"暂停"、"记住这个"、里程碑完成时触发。 Memory management skill that prevents AI amnesia after /new resets. 3-tier loading (hot/warm/cold) loads only what's needed per session — saving tokens. Includes: task state recovery, daily journal, project index, Dream consolidation. Pure filesystem, no external services. Triggers on "pause", "remember this", milestone completion.

Memory Keeper

Core goal: After /new, the AI picks up exactly where you left off — no re-explaining needed.

Part 0: First-Run Initialization

Trigger: memory/tasks.md exists but is empty.

1. Tell the user: "Your tasks.md is empty. Let me scan your recent work history and build your memory from scratch."
2. Read MEMORY.md + most recent session history (openclaw sessions list --limit 1)
3. Extract in-progress tasks, statuses, next steps
4. Present to user for confirmation — never write without approval
5. On confirmation → write to memory/tasks.md
6. If nothing found → ask user what they're working on

Post-Install Setup (one-time)

See references/install-snippets.md for the three things to set up:

1. Append memory management section to AGENTS.md
2. Append daily journal check to HEARTBEAT.md
3. Initialize memory/tasks.md

These three configs form a complete memory loop: HEARTBEAT.md creates journals, AGENTS.md restores context on startup, tasks.md persists work state.

Part 1: Task State

See references/formats.md for format specs, quality bar for "Next", and the 3-file rule.

When to update tasks.md — trigger immediately, don't wait:

Trigger	Action
Milestone reached (version published, bug fixed, module done)	Update status/next, or move to Completed
Pause signal ("that's it", "pause", "done for today")	Self-check gaps → fill → update Next → tell user "State saved"

Don't trigger for: Pure Q&A, reviewing files, discussing plans without executing.

Multiple in-progress tasks: List all on startup, let user choose. Don't auto-select.

Part 2: Daily Journal

See references/formats.md for journal template and when-to-write triggers.

• Group by topic, not chronological
• Skip empty sections entirely
• Watch List is the most important section

Part 3: Project Index

See references/formats.md for MEMORY.md entry format.

Update immediately after: project added/removed, version released, Git remote/path changed.

Part 4: Dream Consolidation

Version check (every heartbeat)

text

openclaw --version

Parse version as YYYY.M.R:

• >= 2026.4.8: OpenClaw has native Dreaming — use it instead
  • Check if native Dream is enabled: look for plugins.entries.memory-core.config.dreaming.enabled: true in openclaw.json, or run openclaw memory promote --dry-run (exit 0 = active)
  • Already enabled → skip our Part 4 entirely, no message
  • Not enabled:
    • Check for upgrade from old version: memory/dream-state.json exists AND lastDream != "2000-01-01"
    • Upgrade detected → tell user: "检测到你升级到了 2026.4.8+，建议开启原生 Dreaming（/dreaming on）。开启后旧 Dream 状态文件会自动清理。"
    • Fresh install (no upgrade) → tell user once: "OpenClaw v2026.4.8+ has built-in Dreaming. You can enable it with /dreaming on in any session."
    • After user enables native Dreaming → delete memory/dream-state.json
  • Then skip our Part 4
• < 2026.4.8: use our built-in Dream consolidation (see references/dream-guide.md)

Trigger conditions (only for < 2026.4.8)

Run during heartbeat when both are true:

• lastDream > 7 days ago
• sessionsSinceLastDream >= 3

For full details — four phases, drift correction, state file — see references/dream-guide.md.

Rules

• Never record secrets, tokens, or credentials in tasks.md or journals
• Keep project index at the top of MEMORY.md for fast scanning
• Absolute dates only: always YYYY-MM-DD — never "next week", "tomorrow"
• Archive journals by age: move journals older than 30 days to memory/archive/; startup loads last 7 days only
• MEMORY.md under 200 lines: Dream consolidation handles trimming — never hard-truncate
