Openclaw-master-skills memory-hygiene

Audit, clean, and optimize Clawdbot's vector memory (LanceDB). Use when memory is bloated with junk, token usage is high from irrelevant auto-recalls, or setting up memory maintenance automation.

Memory Hygiene

Keep vector memory lean. Prevent token waste from junk memories.

Quick Commands

Audit: Check what's in memory

memory_recall query="*" limit=50

Wipe: Clear all vector memory

rm -rf ~/.clawdbot/memory/lancedb/

Then restart gateway: 

clawdbot gateway restart

Reseed: After wipe, store key facts from MEMORY.md

memory_store text="<fact>" category="preference|fact|decision" importance=0.9

Config: Disable Auto-Capture

The main source of junk is 

autoCapture: true
. Disable it:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "memory-lancedb": {
        "config": {
          "autoCapture": false,
          "autoRecall": true
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Use 

gateway action=config.patch
to apply.

What to Store (Intentionally)

✅ Store:

  • User preferences (tools, workflows, communication style)
  • Key decisions (project choices, architecture)
  • Important facts (accounts, credentials locations, contacts)
  • Lessons learned

❌ Never store:

  • Heartbeat status ("HEARTBEAT_OK", "No new messages")
  • Transient info (current time, temp states)
  • Raw message logs (already in files)
  • OAuth URLs or tokens

Monthly Maintenance Cron

Set up a monthly wipe + reseed:

cron action=add job={
  "name": "memory-maintenance",
  "schedule": "0 4 1 * *",
  "text": "Monthly memory maintenance: 1) Wipe ~/.clawdbot/memory/lancedb/ 2) Parse MEMORY.md 3) Store key facts to fresh LanceDB 4) Report completion"
}

Storage Guidelines

When using memory_store:

  • Keep text concise (<100 words)
  • Use appropriate category
  • Set importance 0.7-1.0 for valuable info
  • One concept per memory entry
