# Session Guardian

> Never lose a conversation again. Auto-backup every 5 minutes, smart summaries, and instant recovery when models crash or Gateway restarts. Works for solo agents and multi-agent teams. Use when you need bulletproof session protection, task tracking across agents, or collaboration history. Prevents token overflow with AI-powered compaction (30-50% savings).

# Session Guardian 🛡️

**Your Conversation Guardian** - Enterprise-grade session backup + project management solution

## Problem Statement

- 🔴 **Model disconnections** - Conversations lost, work wasted
- 🔴 **Gateway restarts** - Forgot what you were doing, task state lost
- 🔴 **Cross-channel confusion** - Private info sent to group chat, or vice versa
- 🔴 **Complex task tracking** - Tasks span multiple sessions, hard to track state
- 🔴 **Multi-agent chaos** - Multiple agents working simultaneously, unclear who's doing what
- 🔴 **Large session files** - Causing timeouts, slow responses, high token consumption

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install
clawhub install session-guardian

# One-click deployment (auto-configure all cron jobs)
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/session-guardian
bash scripts/install.sh

# Verify
crontab -l | grep session-guardian
openclaw cron list
```

## Use Cases

### Scenario 1: Enterprise Multi-Agent Collaboration
**Typical User**: Enterprise teams with multiple agents working together

**Example**:
- Main agent → Dev team lead → UI designer + Full-stack developer
- Main agent → Finance team lead → Strategy research + Risk control + Execution
- Main agent → Operations team lead → Content creation + Data analysis

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Collaboration tracking: Visualize task flow
- ✅ Collaboration health: Monitor team collaboration quality
- ✅ Knowledge base: Accumulate team best practices

### Scenario 2: Personal Assistant Team
**Typical User**: Individual users with multiple specialized assistants

**Example**:
- Research assistant: Find resources, organize literature
- Coding assistant: Write code, debug issues
- Writing assistant: Write articles, polish copy
- Translation assistant: Multi-language translation

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Smart backup: Protect each assistant's memory
- ✅ Knowledge extraction: Each assistant accumulates expertise
- ✅ Collaboration tracking: Know which assistant has the task

### Scenario 3: Single-Agent Deep Usage
**Typical User**: Users with one main agent

**Example**:
- Personal AI assistant: Handle all daily tasks
- Professional consultant: Deep conversations, long-term memory

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Smart backup: Prevent conversation loss
- ✅ Knowledge extraction: Accumulate personal best practices
- ✅ Task management: Track complex task states

### Scenario 4: Enterprise Multi-Department Collaboration
**Typical User**: Enterprises with agents in different departments

**Example**:
- Sales agent: Customer management, opportunity tracking
- Support agent: Issue handling, ticket management
- Tech agent: Technical support, troubleshooting
- Finance agent: Report generation, data analysis

**Benefits**:
- ✅ Session isolation: Prevent cross-department information leakage
- ✅ Collaboration health: Monitor cross-department collaboration

crontab -l | grep session-guardian

# Check logs
tail -f ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/session-guardian/logs/backup.log
```

### Large Session Files

```bash
# Run health check
openclaw skill run session-guardian health-check

# View recommendations
cat ~/.openclaw/workspace/Assets/SessionBackups/health-reports/latest.md
```

### Missing Summaries

```bash
# Manually generate summary
openclaw skill run session-guardian summary

# Check summary logs
tail -f ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/session-guardian/logs/summary.log
```
