Installation | 安装

Prerequisites | 前置条件

• OpenClaw installed
• Access to modify AGENTS.md in your workspace
• Bash shell

Step 1: Install the Script | 安装脚本

# Download the guard script
curl -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/conversation-guard.sh \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zfanmy/dreammoon-conversation-guard/main/conversation-guard.sh

# Make executable
chmod +x ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/conversation-guard.sh

Step 2: Configure AGENTS.md | 配置AGENTS.md

Add the following to your AGENTS.md:

## 🛡️ Conversation Guardian - Automatic Recording

After each response to the user, automatically record the conversation:

```bash
source ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/conversation-guard.sh

# Determine importance (1-10)
importance=5
tags="casual"

# Increase importance for emotional content
if [[ "$USER_MESSAGE" =~ (难受|开心|生气|喜欢|讨厌|重要|记住|别忘) ]]; then
    importance=9
    tags="emotional"
fi

# Increase for technical discussions
if [[ "$USER_MESSAGE" =~ (设计|架构|方案|修改|实现|决定) ]]; then
    importance=$((importance + 2))
    tags="$tags,technical"
fi

# Record the interaction
record_interaction "$USER_MESSAGE" "$ASSISTANT_RESPONSE" $importance "$tags"

Critical: Mark NEW SESSION events immediately:

# At session start, detect if recovered from reset
if [ -f ".guardian/.session_reset_detected" ]; then
    record_interaction "[System] Session recovered" "Continuing our conversation..." 10 "system,recovery"
fi

### Step 3: Test | 测试

```bash
# Source the script
source ~/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/conversation-guard.sh

# Record a test interaction
record_interaction "Hello!" "Hi there!" 5 "test"

# Check the output
cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/memory/$(date +%Y-%m-%d).md
