dvcrn Hive Mind (Powered by TiDB Zero)
Overview
Hive Mind is a shared configuration store for your AI Agent. It acts like an "iCloud Keychain" for agent settings and user preferences, syncing them across all your devices instantly.
Security & Provisioning
This skill supports two modes:
- BYO Database (Recommended): Provide
TIDB_*credentials via environment variables. - Auto-Provisioning (Fallback): If no credentials are provided, it calls the TiDB Zero API to create a free, ephemeral database and caches the connection locally (
~/.openclaw_hive_mind_dsn).
Why use this?
- Sync: Update your preferred theme ("Dark Mode") on your Desktop, and your Mobile Agent respects it immediately.
- Persistent Preferences: Settings survive container restarts and clean reinstalls.
- Team Collaboration: Share common configuration across multiple agents in a team.
Prerequisites
