# Memory
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw's memory system uses plain Markdown in the agent workspace as the foundational approach. Files serve as the authoritative source rather than RAM-based storage.
|
|
|
|
## Memory File Structure
|
|
|
|
The system organizes information across two layers:
|
|
|
|
### Daily logs (`memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`)
|
|
|
|
Append-only daily entries, with today's and yesterday's files loaded at session start.
|
|
|
|
### Long-term memory (`MEMORY.md`)
|
|
|
|
Curated persistent information, loaded only in private sessions.
|
|
|
|
## Writing to Memory
|
|
|
|
Recommended storage patterns:
|
|
|
|
- **Decisions, preferences, and durable facts** go to `MEMORY.md`
|
|
- **Ephemeral notes and contextual information** in daily logs
|
|
- **Explicit requests to remember something** should be written immediately
|
|
|
|
## Automatic Memory Management
|
|
|
|
When sessions approach token limits, OpenClaw triggers a silent agentic turn prompting memory consolidation before context compaction occurs.
|
|
|
|
This flush mechanism can be configured via `agents.defaults.compaction.memoryFlush` settings:
|
|
|
|
```json5
|
|
{
|
|
agents: {
|
|
defaults: {
|
|
compaction: {
|
|
memoryFlush: {
|
|
enabled: true,
|
|
softThresholdTokens: 4000,
|
|
prompt: "...",
|
|
systemPrompt: "..."
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Search Capabilities
|
|
|
|
The system supports vector-based semantic search across memory files, with configurable backends including:
|
|
|
|
| Backend | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| Built-in SQLite | Optional vector acceleration |
|
|
| QMD sidecar | Local-first search combining BM25 + vectors + reranking |
|
|
| Hybrid search | Merges both keyword and semantic signals |
|
|
|
|
### Tools
|
|
|
|
- `memory_search` - Semantic queries across memory files
|
|
- `memory_get` - Direct file retrieval
