Install Powermem Memory Minimal

memory-powermem 最小安装步骤（OpenClaw + PowerMem 长期记忆），面向个人用户；无需单独配置 powermem.env，复用 OpenClaw 里已配好的对话模型。本 skill 可独立分发，不依赖其他安装类 skill。

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only, minimal installer for PowerMem that is coherent with its stated purpose; it asks the user to install a Python package, create a venv, and run an install script from a GitHub raw URL and otherwise reuses OpenClaw's existing configuration.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description claim a minimal PowerMem installer for OpenClaw. The instructions only require Python ≥3.10, installing powermem into a venv, and integrating with OpenClaw — all consistent with the declared purpose and the absence of requested credentials or config paths.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are narrowly scoped to installing powermem, creating/activating a venv, configuring pmemPath or activating the venv before running the OpenClaw gateway, and verifying plugin load/health. They instruct running a remote install script (curl | bash) and rely on OpenClaw having an API key/model configured; they do not instruct reading arbitrary files or exfiltrating data, but the reuse of OpenClaw's model/API key is a capability users should be aware of.

Install Mechanism

There is no registry install spec, but the SKILL.md recommends piping a script from raw.githubusercontent.com into bash. Using a GitHub raw URL is a common pattern and less suspicious than a personal server, but piping remote scripts to bash is inherently riskier than installing from a reviewed package manager; users should inspect the script before running.

Credentials

The skill declares no required env vars, which matches the manifest. However the instructions explicitly state that PowerMem will reuse OpenClaw's default model and API key (no separate powermem.env). This is logical for integration but means the plugin will operate with the same credentials — users should confirm they are comfortable with that reuse.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true, no persistent elevated privileges are required. The install writes files under the user's home (~/.openclaw/powermem/.venv) and registers a plugin with OpenClaw which is normal for an installer of this type.

Assessment

This skill is coherent for its stated purpose, but checklist before running it: 1) Verify OpenClaw is working and that you're okay with the plugin reusing OpenClaw's API key/model (the installer will not create a separate powermem.env). 2) Confirm Python ≥ 3.10 and that you understand the chosen venv path (~/.openclaw/powermem/.venv). 3) Inspect the install script at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ob-labs/memory-powermem/main/install.sh yourself before running curl | bash (or run it in a sandbox). 4) Consider running pip install powermem and openclaw plugins install manually if you prefer not to execute a remote script. 5) Back up OpenClaw configuration if you care about preserving current settings. These steps reduce risk while installing the integration.

PowerMem 记忆 · 极简安装（个人用户）

你只要记住几件事：OpenClaw 能正常聊天、Python 先确认 ≥ 3.10、本机装好 PowerMem、装上插件。不用手写 powermem.env，记忆用的模型和 Key 会跟你在 OpenClaw 里配的一样。

你要做什么（按顺序）

1. 确认 OpenClaw 已经能用
   终端执行 openclaw --version，并且你已经在 OpenClaw 里配好了平时对话用的模型（能正常回复即可）。

2. 先检查 Python 版本（必须 ≥ 3.10）
   在创建虚拟环境或执行 pip install 之前必须先确认版本，否则后续容易装失败或运行异常：

   python3 --version
   

   输出应为 Python 3.10.x、3.11.x、3.12.x 等（次版本号 ≥ 10）。也可用下面命令做一次硬性校验（不通过会报错退出）：

   python3 -c "import sys; assert sys.version_info >= (3, 10), '需要 Python 3.10 或更高'; print(sys.version.split()[0], 'OK')"
   

   若版本不够：先升级本机 Python，或安装并使用 python3.11 / python3.12 等满足要求的解释器，并将下面步骤里的 python3 换成实际命令（例如 python3.12 -m venv ...）。

3. 安装 PowerMem（Python）
   建议用虚拟环境，然后安装：

   python3 -m venv ~/.openclaw/powermem/.venv
   source ~/.openclaw/powermem/.venv/bin/activate
   pip install powermem
   

   装好后执行 pmem --version，能输出版本就行。

4. 让网关能找到 pmem
   如果你启动 openclaw gateway 的终端没有激活上面的 venv，有两种简单办法二选一：

   • 每次开网关前先 source ~/.openclaw/powermem/.venv/bin/activate；或
   • 在插件配置里把 pmemPath 写成 venv 里 pmem 的完整路径（装完后可用 which pmem 查看）。

5. 一键装插件（推荐）
   在 Mac / Linux 上执行（需已安装 OpenClaw）：

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ob-labs/memory-powermem/main/install.sh | bash -s -y
   

   脚本会把插件放进 OpenClaw，并打开「用 OpenClaw 的模型驱动记忆」等默认选项。

6. 重启网关并检查

   openclaw gateway
   

   另开终端，先确认插件已被网关加载：

   openclaw plugins list
   

   输出里要有 memory-powermem，且其状态为 loaded（已加载）。若只有安装记录、状态不是 loaded，先按下面「若某一步失败」处理，不要跳过这步直接去测 ltm。
   通过后再检查记忆健康并试写读：

   openclaw ltm health
   

   显示健康后试一句：

   openclaw ltm add "我喜欢喝美式"
   openclaw ltm search "咖啡"

若某一步失败

情况	怎么办
python3 --version 低于 3.10	先升级或换用 python3.11 / python3.12 等，再重做「检查 Python」与 venv 步骤；不要跳过版本检查强行 pip install。
pip install powermem 报错	再次确认 Python ≥ 3.10；换干净 venv 再试。
pmem 找不到	激活 venv，或配置 pmemPath 为绝对路径。
plugins list 没有 memory-powermem，或状态不是 loaded	确认已执行安装脚本或 openclaw plugins install；plugins.enabled 为 true、plugins.slots.memory 为 memory-powermem；改完后重启 gateway，再执行 openclaw plugins list 复查。
ltm health 不健康	确认 OpenClaw 里默认模型和 API Key 本身能聊天；升级 OpenClaw 到较新版本后再试。
想要更多选项（多实例、HTTP、自建服务器等）	查阅 memory-powermem 仓库根目录的 INSTALL.md 与 README。

说明（一句话）

记忆数据默认存在本机 OpenClaw 数据目录下的 SQLite 里；不需要你再单独维护一份 PowerMem 的 .env，除非你熟悉进阶配置。
