Memory Manager

What this skill does

Local memory management for agents. Compression detection, auto-snapshots, and semantic search. Use when agents need to detect compression risk before memory loss, save context snapshots, search historical memories, or track memory usage patterns. Never lose context again.

Memory Manager is part of the Research & Knowledge category — research and knowledge skills that gather, search, and summarize information. You can install it on its own or alongside other research & knowledge skills from the OpenClaw catalog.

How to install Memory Manager

The easiest path is via the OpenClaw Easy desktop app — one click, no terminal required:

1. Download OpenClaw Easy for macOS or Windows (free, one-click installer, ~30 seconds).
2. Open the in-app Skills panel.
3. Search for memory-manager and click Install.
4. The skill activates automatically when an incoming message matches its description.

Install from the command line

If you already run the OpenClaw CLI, add Memory Manager with a single command:

openclaw skills add memory-manager

This pulls memory-manager from ClawHub and installs it into ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/. Restart the OpenClaw gateway afterwards so the new skill is discovered.

How to use Memory Manager

Once installed, Memory Manager activates on its own: when an incoming message on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu or Line matches the skill's description, your OpenClaw agent loads it and runs the workflow. You can also trigger it explicitly by describing the task in chat. No extra configuration is required after install.

Manual install (advanced)

If you prefer manual installation:

1. Click the Download .zip button above to grab memory-manager-1.0.0.zip directly from our S3 mirror.
2. Unzip into ~/.openclaw/skills/memory-manager/ (create the directory if it does not exist).
3. Restart OpenClaw Easy (or the OpenClaw CLI gateway) so the new skill is discovered.
