openclaw

openclaw is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from webrenew/memories. It costs 177 tokens per session (954 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for integrating OpenClaw with memories.sh, including setup, workspace files, skills, rules, and memory lifecycle operations. OpenClaw is an agent environment that uses workspace instructions and stored context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to onboard OpenClaw, generate workspace contracts, copy skills, ingest or apply memory files, schedule refresh reminders, and run memory lifecycle commands.
Why use it?
It provides an ordered process for initial setup and refreshing shared agent instructions when the project changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openclaw scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

openclaw

Canonical setup and operational guidance for OpenClaw + memories.sh.

Quick Start

# First-time setup
openclaw onboard
cd your-project
memories init
memories generate claude -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md --force
memories generate agents
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
if [ -d .agents/skills ]; then cp -R .agents/skills/. ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/; fi
memories files ingest --global --include-config
memories files apply --global --include-config --force

# Optional: schedule a weekday reminder to run the refresh flow
memories reminders add "0 9 * * 1-5" "OpenClaw refresh: run generate + skills copy + files apply"

Workflow Decision Tree

  • If openclaw is missing, stop and direct the user to official OpenClaw install docs.
  • If OpenClaw was not onboarded on this machine, run first-time setup.
  • If setup exists and contract/rules changed, run workspace contract refresh.
  • If the task is session lifecycle memory flow, run OpenClaw memory lifecycle commands (bootstrap, flush, snapshot, sync) in that order as needed.
  • If behavior appears stale, run verification checks and troubleshooting in order.
  • If workspace path is custom, read ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and replace default ~/.openclaw/workspace paths.

Workspace Contract Refresh

cd your-project
memories generate claude -o ~/.openclaw/workspace/AGENTS.md --force
memories generate agents
if [ -d .agents/skills ]; then cp -R .agents/skills/. ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/; fi
memories files ingest --global --include-config
memories files apply --global --include-config --force

Optional reminder check:

memories reminders list
memories reminders run

Memory Lifecycle Workflow (OpenClaw File Mode)

Use these when session context must persist across resets/compaction:

# 1) Bootstrap semantic + recent episodic context from OpenClaw files
memories openclaw memory bootstrap

# 2) Flush meaningful session events to today's daily log before compaction/reset
memories openclaw memory flush <session-id> --messages 15

# 3) Persist raw session snapshot in DB + OpenClaw snapshot file
memories openclaw memory snapshot <session-id> --trigger reset

# 4) Reconcile DB and OpenClaw files (import/export/both)
memories openclaw memory sync --direction both

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
