The target agent adopts the knowledge as their own experience. ### Memory Cloning (clone mode) Copies memory exactly as-is without filtering or transformation: - All content preserved verbatim - User information remains - Original context maintained **Use when**: Full backup/migration or preserving original author's voice. ## Commands ### List available agents ```bash ls /home/node/.openclaw/ ``` ### Transfer all memory from source to target ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer ``` ### Transfer with mode selection (interactive) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer --mode interactive ``` This will prompt for: 1. Topic filter (optional - press Enter to transfer all) 2. Mode selection: share or clone 3. Confirmation before proceeding ### Transfer specific topic memory ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer --topic "claude" ``` ### Force memory sharing (with transformation) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer --mode share ``` ### Force memory cloning (verbatim) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer --mode clone ``` ### Preview transfer (dry run) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer --dry-run ``` ### List agent memories ```bash node memory-transfer.js list ``` ### Search memories by topic ```bash node memory-transfer.js search ``` ## Interactive Workflow When running without explicit flags, the skill will: 1. **Prompt for source agent** - Select which agent's memory to transfer 2. **Prompt for target agent** - Select destination agent 3. **Prompt for topic** (optional) - Enter keyword to filter, or press Enter for all 4. **Prompt for mode** - Choose: - `share` - Filter user info + transform pronouns (recommended for knowledge sharing) - `clone` - Keep original verbatim (for backup) 5. **Show preview** - Display what will be transferred 6. **Confirm** - Require explicit confirmation before executing 7. **Execute or cancel** - Proceed or abort based on user decision ## Examples ### Transfer all memories as sharing (with transformation) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder --mode share ``` ### Transfer specific date memory as clone ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder 2026-03-01.md --mode clone ``` ### Transfer topic-filtered memory with preview ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder --topic "preferences" --dry-run ``` ### Interactive mode (recommended for first-time use) ```bash node memory-transfer.js transfer main coder --mode interactive ``` ## Target Agent Adaptation Rules When using **share mode**, the memory is transformed to match the target agent's identity: ### Agent Identity | Source | Target | |--------|--------| | I | Agent Main (source agent name) | | me | Agent Main | | my | Agent Main's | | I bought | Agent Main bought | | I think | Agent Main thinks | ### Role Statements | Source Pattern | Target | |----------------|--------| | I work as helper | Agent Skill Master works as helper | | I serve as | Agent Skill Master serves as | **Result example**: "I bought a phone" → "Agent Main bought a phone" This way the target agent knows this is the source agent's experience, not their own. | Source | Target | |--------|--------| | I think | you think | | I believe | you believe | | I know | you know | | I understand | you understand | | I remember | you remember | | I prefer | you prefer | | I like | you like | | I want | you want | | I need | you need | **Important**: The transformation converts both pronouns AND role descriptions so the target agent doesn't inherit confused identity. For example: - "I am Agent Skill Master" → "you are Agent Skill Master" - "My role is to create skills" → "your role is to create skills" - "I was created to help you" → "you were created to help me" ## Agent Workspaces OpenClaw agent workspaces are typically at: - `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace-/` - Main agent: `/home/node/.openclaw/workspace-main/` Memory files: - `MEMORY.md` - Long-term memory - `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` - Daily memories - `memory/*.md` - Topic-specific memories ## Safety Features 1. **Dry-run by default** - Preview before executing 2. **Explicit confirmation** - Never auto-execute without approval 3. **Backup option** - Can create backup before overwriting 4. **Mode clarification** - Always ask to confirm share vs clone mode
